Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

1. Information We Collect

Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

The only PII we collect is your email address, which is required for account registration and recovery. We do not collect names, addresses, phone numbers, or other government-issued IDs.

We separately collect a password, which is cryptographically hashed before storage. We cannot see or recover your actual password.

Character Data

We store the character names, descriptions, and other profile information you create. This information is public to other users of the service but is not linked to your PII in public views.

Log Data

Like most websites, we may collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service ("Log Data"). This may include your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, and timestamp. This data is used solely for security and debugging.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information only to:

  • Provide, maintain, and develop the Service.
  • Authenticate your identity.
  • Detect and prevent abuse or security breaches.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. We have no interest in selling your personal information to third parties, advertisers, or data brokers.

We only share data with third-party service providers when strictly necessary for the maintenance and development of the site (e.g., hosting providers, email delivery services). If we ever sought to share your data for other purposes, we would strictly require your explicit consent first.

4. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification: Request correction of any inaccurate personal data.
  • Deletion: Request the deletion of your account and all associated data ("Right to be Forgotten").
  • Complain: Lodge a complaint with a Supervisory Authority if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.

5. Cookies

We use strictly necessary session cookies to maintain your login state. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

6. Security

We verify the security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
