What the game sends

Aftertouch sends anonymous play statistics so we can see how the game is played: which modes people pick, how hard they find each difficulty, how far careers get. It is on by default, and you can turn it off at any time in Options → Match → Anonymous stats.

What is sent

• The game version, the platform (Windows, macOS or Linux) and whether it is running on a Steam Deck.
• When the game starts: your control scheme, default difficulty and a few display and sound settings.
• When a match ends: whether it was an exhibition or a career match, one or two players, the opponent's difficulty, the score and whether it went to penalties. Leaving a match early is counted too.
• In a career: the difficulty and starting division, whether you play, watch or simulate each fixture, players bought and sold, stadium projects started, and each finished season's division, position, points and promotion or relegation.
• In practice: the drill, and how many attempts succeeded.

What is not sent

• No ID of any kind: not your Steam account, not a device or install ID, nothing that links one batch of statistics to another or to you.
• No names, no club or player names, no text you type, and no save files.
• Your IP address is not stored. The statistics server keeps no request logs; each batch is saved with only the day it arrived.

Statistics are held on Cloudflare in a database only the developer can read, and are used only to improve the game. They are never sold or shared.
