Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 10, 2026
Overview
Vote For Me is a single-player offline game. We do not require an account, do not collect personal information, and do not sell any data.
This policy describes the one optional feature that sends data to us: gameplay analytics.
Gameplay Analytics (Opt-In Only)
Analytics are off by default. You can enable them in Settings under "Gameplay Analytics" and turn them off again at any time.
If you opt in, the game sends anonymous gameplay events to help us understand how the game is being played and where balance improvements are needed. No personal data is collected at any point.
What we collect
Events are sent when you take meaningful gameplay actions. Each event includes:
- The action type and relevant identifiers (e.g. which event choice you made, which staff you hired)
- Your current tier at the time
- A random anonymous ID generated on your machine (see below)
Here is a representative sample of what the data looks like on our end:
{ "event": "election_result", "result": "win", "tier": 3, "voteRatio": 2.41 }
{ "event": "staff_hired", "staffName": "Field Operative", "tier": 3 }
{ "event": "event_choice", "eventName": "Gerald's Yard Signs", "choiceLabel": "Make your own signs", "tier": 1 }
{ "event": "upgrade_purchased", "upgradeName": "Intern Pipeline", "tier": 2 }
{ "event": "activity_toggled", "activityName": "Canvassing", "tier": 1 }
{ "event": "synergy_discovered", "staffAName": "Campaign Manager", "staffBName": "Field Operative", "tier": 4 }
{ "event": "party_chosen", "partyName": "Consolidated Pragmatic Alliance", "tier": 2 }
{ "event": "donor_level_activated", "levelName": "Deep", "tier": 3 }
{ "event": "tier_started", "office": "Mayor", "prestigeCount": 0 }
{ "event": "prestige_started", "prestigeCount": 1 }
That is everything. There is no device fingerprinting, no location data, no IP logging, and no data beyond what is shown above.
The anonymous ID
When analytics are first enabled, a random UUID (e.g. a3f9b2c1-4d5e-...) is
generated and stored locally on your machine. This ID has no connection to your identity.
It is a random string that allows us to see sequences of events from the same player session
without knowing who that player is.
Clearing your local storage resets this ID. You will appear as a new player to our analytics system, which is fine.
Who processes the data
Analytics are processed by PostHog, a third-party analytics platform. Data is stored on PostHog's US-based servers. PostHog's privacy policy is available at posthog.com/privacy.
Events are batched and sent approximately every 30 seconds while the game is running. No data is sent when analytics are disabled.
How to disable
Go to Settings > Gameplay Analytics and toggle it off. Data collection stops immediately. Previously sent events are not deleted as they are anonymous and we have no way to identify which events were yours.
Save Data
Your game save data is stored locally on your machine. Steam Cloud sync is enabled by default, which means your saves are also synchronized to Valve's Steam Cloud servers and are subject to Valve's privacy policy. We do not directly receive or access your save files. You can disable Steam Cloud for Vote For Me at any time from the game's properties menu in Steam.
