Privacy Policy

The sections below cover the ARC Tracker desktop app for Windows (the "app"), including the edition distributed through Overwolf. The app asks you to accept our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy on its first setup step. Until you accept, it does not read the game and sends nothing to our analytics or to an account.

While the game runs, the app captures the game's window on your PC, like a screenshot. It captures only the game's window, not your desktop or other programs. It recognises items, game pages and text in these pictures on your PC, with recognition models that come with the app and the text recognition built into Windows.

What the app learns is kept on your PC: for example your stash and loadout, quests, workshop levels, projects, blueprints, player level and the raids it records. The pictures of your screen are not uploaded and not saved. The app holds each one in memory only while it reads it.

There is one exception. With "Send new game content to ARC Tracker" on and while you are signed in, the app can send small cut-outs of game content it does not know yet (see the new game content reports below). It keeps such cut-outs on your PC for at most 30 days after it last saw the thing.

The app also downloads game data, map pictures, map pins, map event times and app updates from arctracker.io and cdn.arctracker.io. These requests carry nothing about you beyond what every internet request carries, such as your IP address and the app's language.

Signing in to the app with your arctracker.io account is optional. Without an account, the app keeps everything on your PC. When you sign in, this PC is added to your account's devices under a name you choose ("Windows PC" unless you change it), with the app version and when it was last used.

While you are signed in, the app sends what it reads from the game to your account: your stash and loadout (items, stack counts and the values the game shows), quests and their objectives, workshop levels, project phases, learned blueprints, and your player level and XP. It also sends the changes you make by hand in the app, such as corrected item counts.

It also sends the raids it records: the map, when the raid ended, the outcome, the extraction point, what knocked you out (an ARC, a cause, or another raider's in-game name as the game shows it), the loadout you deployed with, what you carried out and its value, and the XP the raid gave. Raids you log by hand in the app are sent too.

When a raid ends, the app also tells arctracker.io when it ended. If you linked your Embark account with ARC Tracker Link, arctracker.io then syncs your Embark account and matches the raid with the game's own record of it. If you connected your account to the ARC Tracker Discord bot, the bot can post your new raids on Discord.

The app reads back from your account: which account is signed in (its name and email), your progress, including changes you make on arctracker.io, whether you have Premium, your favorite lists and the map events you track. It keeps a copy on your PC so it also works offline.

"Delete data on this PC" in the app's Settings deletes what the app keeps on your PC (your progress, raid history, cached data, settings and sign-in) and removes this PC from your account's devices. It does not touch your arctracker.io account. The data synced to your account is deleted when you delete your account in your arctracker.io Settings, where you can also remove a PC from your devices. The app's log files stay on your PC, and the app does not send them.

Raids the ARC Tracker app records to your account (the map, the outcome, the loadout you deployed with and what you carried out) also feed the drop statistics on our item pages. They are counted anonymously and in aggregate: the statistics keep only weekly totals per map and item, never who played which raid. Raids you log by hand are not counted.

After a game update, the app can meet items, blueprints, quests, projects, workshop stations, extraction points, map conditions or ARC it does not know yet. It records nothing for them and, with your permission, reports what it saw so we can add it to ARC Tracker quickly: small cut-outs of the unknown thing only (an item icon or card, a quest or project panel, a station header and its requirement rows), the text it read from them, which game screen it was on, what it thought the thing looked like, the game's language and version, your screen size and the app version. It never sends whole screenshots, chat, your name or other players' names.

Reports are sent with your arctracker.io account, so the app sends them only while you are signed in. We keep at most five of your reports for each unknown thing, linked to your account, and delete them when you delete your account. What we learned about the game content itself (how many players saw it, the texts read and the cut-outs) is kept without your account.

To turn it off, switch off "Send new game content to ARC Tracker" in the app's Settings; from then on the app sends no more reports. It starts on, unless you had switched off "Share usage stats".

The app sends usage stats to our own analytics (Rybbit, run by us at rb.arctracker.io): the app pages and setup steps opened, the in-game setup guide's steps finished, skipped or restarted, the first raid's tutorial done or skipped, when you sign in or out, when the overlay is first shown in a game session and which overlay features are on, the map and outcome of each raid it records, which kinds of game screens it read that day, the problems it shows you (as codes), and technical details: the app version and build, whether it is the Overwolf edition, app updates installed, its language, the game's display mode, whether it started with Windows, and your screen size. It never sends your items, your progress, what is on your screen, your name or your email. Our analytics server uses your IP address to work out an approximate location, as it does for this website.

The app counts this under a random id created on your PC, which "Delete data on this PC" in the app deletes. When you are signed in to the app, it is also linked to your arctracker.io account id, as on this website.

To turn it off, switch off "Share usage stats" in the app's Settings (the first setup step offers it too). From then on the app sends nothing to our analytics, including anything it had not sent yet.

The edition of the app distributed through Overwolf shows ads, which are served by Overwolf. They show in the app's desktop window, never over the game. To serve and measure them, Overwolf and its ad vendors may collect information about your device and how you interact with the ads, under Overwolf's privacy policy. The app shows no ads while you are signed in with a Premium account.

Where the law requires your consent (Overwolf decides where, typically in Europe), the app's first setup has a step "Ads and your privacy". It shows Overwolf's consent text: the app and trusted ad vendors store and/or access information on your computer and process personal data such as your IP address and cookies, for these purposes: store and/or access information on a device, personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. You can choose "Accept All", or "Manage" to choose purposes and vendors yourself. No ad shows before you have answered this step.

You can change your choices at any time in the app's Settings > Privacy > "Ad & privacy settings" > "Manage". This opens Overwolf's privacy settings window, with its purposes and vendors. Overwolf stores your choices.

For more information about how Overwolf handles data, please read Overwolf's Privacy Policy.

In the Overwolf edition, Overwolf also collects anonymous usage analytics of its own about the app. This is separate from our own usage stats described above. When you switch off "Share usage stats" in the app's Settings, the app asks Overwolf to reduce them to their mandatory minimum (app launch and basic session signals). Overwolf accepts this only as the app starts, so a change to that switch reaches Overwolf from the next start of the app. Until you have finished the first setup, the app asks Overwolf for the minimum too.

For more information about how Overwolf handles data, please read Overwolf's Privacy Policy.

ARC Tracker Premium is sold through Tebex, as on the website. Tebex handles the payment under its own privacy policy. Overwolf owns Tebex. In the Overwolf edition, while you are signed in with a Premium account, the app tells Overwolf your Tebex customer id (your arctracker.io account id, which we pass to Tebex when you subscribe) and the reference of your Tebex subscription, so that Overwolf can attribute your subscription to the app. The app sends no payment details.

You can connect an AI assistant (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code) to your ARC Tracker account. You sign in on arctracker.io and choose what the assistant may do. It can then ask ARC Tracker structured questions, for example for an item, a quest or your progress, and send changes you confirmed.

There are four permissions. "Game data" lets the assistant read public game data only. "Your progress" lets it read your quests, hideout, projects and skill tree progress. "Your inventory" lets it read your stash, loadout and raid history. "Change your progress" lets it save changes to your progress, only after a preview you approve. You can grant each permission separately.

ARC Tracker never sees your conversation with the assistant or the photos you share with it. The assistant reads photos itself and sends us only the structured requests it needs, such as item names or the changes to apply.

We count the requests an assistant makes with your account, only to enforce rate limits. We do not log what you wrote to the assistant.

You can remove an assistant's access at any time in Settings under Connected AI apps. It stops working at once. Your progress stays as it is.

You can publish your Outpost, as the Embark sync last read it, so other players can walk through it on arctracker.io. Nothing is shared until you press Publish. A published Outpost shows its rooms, the furniture and stations you placed with their levels, the items on display, its Outpost Worth and rank, and the title, tags and cover photo you chose. It never shows your stash, your raids, your Embark ID or any time finer than the day it last changed.

A published Outpost also shows your Embark name without its four-digit number (or your ARC Tracker profile name when no Embark name is known), and the gallery search finds your Outpost by that name. A name that contains a link, a handle or a blocked word is never shown. When you unlink your Embark account the name is no longer shown.

A published Outpost follows the game: what your syncs read is shown from the next day (or at once when you press Update now). Public Outposts appear in the gallery; unlisted ones open only with their link or code.

Other signed-in players can salute or report an Outpost. Reports reach our staff, who can hide an Outpost from the gallery; its title, name and cover are then not shown until staff review it.

You can unpublish your Outpost at any time on the My Outpost page (Unpublish). Its link and code stop working at once, and copies kept by caches expire within minutes. A moderation hide and open reports stay on record for your account and apply again if you publish again. Requesting the deletion of your account unpublishes it at once.
