Unofficial and independent of GIANTS Software. Farming Simulator is a trademark of GIANTS Software GmbH.
Your farm data stays on your PC. The plugin reads the game's values from a small file the companion mod writes on your PC and draws them on your keys. It has no account, no analytics and no usage reporting of its own. The only thing it sends over the network is its license key check with our license server (see License check). Your game data, savegames and key bindings are never sent.
FS25_FieldDeck.zip) into the mods folder of your game folder, replaces it with the current one, or deletes it. Nothing else in the game folder is changed.game.xml and mods.modSettings\FS25_FieldDeck\live.json in the game folder, replacing the file each time. It writes a short line about its start to the game's own log file. It adds nothing to your farm and does not change your savegames. The values are:inputBinding.xml in the game folder). It only reads that file and never changes it.| Data | Where it is kept | Sent to |

When you choose Activate, each time the plugin starts and about once every 24 hours while it runs, the plugin sends our license server (gramshift.com) the license key, which product it is for, the plugin version and a device ID. The device ID is a one-way hash of your computer's own ID (if that cannot be read, of the computer's name and home folder); that ID itself is not sent. Our server uses these to check that the license key is valid and is used on no more than 3 PCs, and keeps the device IDs that activated each license key, with the time of their first and last check and the plugin version. The plugin keeps the server's answer on your PC, so it keeps working for up to 44 days without a connection after the last successful check. Your game data is never sent.
The plugin itself has no analytics. The product pages on gramshift.com (the English and the Japanese page; not this privacy page or the support page) use Google Analytics to count visits: which page was opened, from which site or search, and the browser's general location and device type. Advertising cookies and ad personalization are always off. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the analytics cookie is set only after you choose Accept on the small banner at the bottom of the page; until then, or if you choose Decline, Google receives only cookieless signals without an ID. Elsewhere the pages set the analytics cookie when they open. Your choice is kept in your browser (local storage) so the banner does not come back; clear this site's data to choose again. Google processes this data on our behalf and GRAMSHIFT is the controller; we rely on your consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and elsewhere on our legitimate interest in knowing how visitors find these pages. To refuse, choose Decline on the banner, block cookies for gramshift.com in your browser, or use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Field Deck is sold by GRAMSHIFT on gramshift.com. Payments are handled by Stripe; GRAMSHIFT never receives card details. What we keep about an order (for example the email address, the date, the country and the amount) and how we use it is described in the store privacy policy.
If you contact us, we receive what you choose to send (for example your email address, your message and any screenshots). We use it only to answer you. Email to contact@gramshift.com is forwarded by our email forwarding provider (ImprovMX) to a mailbox hosted by Google (Gmail), so those providers process support emails on our behalf. Please do not send passwords or other secrets.
For the license check, orders and support emails, GRAMSHIFT is the controller. We rely on the contract with you (to check and honor your license), on our legitimate interest in preventing misuse of license keys and in answering requests, and on legal obligations (for example tax records). GRAMSHIFT is based in Japan, so this information is processed in Japan and by the providers named above.
You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or object to its use, by emailing contact@gramshift.com. If you are in the EEA or the UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Before you uninstall the plugin, close the game and press Remove in a key's settings to take the companion mod out of the mods folder: uninstalling the plugin from the Stream Deck app does not delete it from the game folder. The file modSettings\FS25_FieldDeck\live.json stays in the game folder until you delete it. Uninstalling the plugin from the Stream Deck app removes the plugin, its settings and its log file; removing its keys removes their settings. The device ID file in %LOCALAPPDATA%\GRAMSHIFT stays for the other GRAMSHIFT plugins from our store; you can delete it. Device IDs on our license server are kept while the license is in use; you can ask us to remove them. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to handle the request and meet legal obligations; you can ask us to delete them. Sales records are kept for up to 7 years for accounting and tax.
If the plugin ever starts to send other data or store other data, this policy will be updated before that change is released, and the date above will change.
