Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

In short

We, Ninth Mason, the developer of The White Light, do not collect, store or sell any personal data. The game has no accounts of its own, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and we run no servers. Some features work through other services, described below; each has its own privacy policy.

What stays on your computer

Your progress, saves, settings and installed mods are kept on your computer, in the folder %APPDATA%\Lumina Alba. The game also writes an error log there (errors.log), so problems can be found. It never leaves your computer unless you choose to send it to us, for example with a bug report.

Steam

The game is sold and runs through Steam. Valve handles your Steam account, your purchase, your achievements and the Steam Workshop, under the Steam Privacy Policy. We only see the anonymous statistics Steam gives every developer, such as sales and the number of players.

Online co-op

When you play online, your game connects straight to the games of the other hunters in your lobby (peer to peer, through WebRTC). To find each other, your IP address is seen by the other players in your lobby and by these services:

• PeerJS (peerjs.com), whose public server introduces the games to each other by the lobby code;
• STUN servers run by Google and Cloudflare, which tell your game the address it has on the internet;
• ExpressTURN (expressturn.com), a relay used only when two games cannot reach each other directly; it passes their messages along.

Only what the game needs to play together is sent, such as your hunter's class, cards, moves and actions. It travels encrypted, as all WebRTC data does. We do not see it and keep none of it. If you only play alone, none of this happens.

Mods

Mods from the Steam Workshop are made by other players, not by us. Some mods can run their own scripts in the game: install only mods you trust.

Discord and social media

Our Discord server and our pages on social networks are run by those platforms, under their own privacy policies.

This website

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It uses no cookies, no analytics and no trackers, and loads nothing from other sites. Cloudflare handles visitors' IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from attacks, as described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Children

The game is not made for children under 13. We do not collect data from anyone, children included.

Changes

If the game ever starts handling data in a new way (a new online feature, for example), this page will say so first, with a new date at the top.
