Privacy

What Fantasy-Sim knows about you, where it keeps it, and how to have it removed. The short version: the game knows which account you entered with and the name it showed, and everything else it holds is what you did in the world.

What the game receives when you enter

You enter through Discord, Google or Twitch. The game never sees a password. From the one you choose it receives:

• an account number that the provider gives you for this game, so the next time you enter you are recognised as the same player;
• the name that account shows, used as your player name;
• from Discord only, the address of your avatar picture.

The game asks for nothing else. It does not ask for your email address, your friends, your servers or channels, or permission to post anything as you.

What the game keeps

• The account number and provider, your player name, your avatar's address and the day you joined.
• A record for each device you are signed in on, so that device stays signed in. It lasts 30 days, and "Leave on every device" on the Account page ends them all.
• Your characters and everything they do. This is the game, and most of it is public inside the world: character and house names, titles, rankings, the chronicle, and what you write into the world, such as the names of companies, factions and warbands.
• If a moderator acts on your account, what they did and why.

What stays in your browser

Your browser keeps the key that signs you in, and which door you entered by last, so the login page can show it first. These are in your browser's local storage, not in cookies. The site sets no cookies, has no advertising and no analytics, and loads no scripts from anywhere else.

What is counted without naming you

The login page counts, per day and per door, how many people opened it and how many entered. The counts hold no address, no account and no name.

Your internet address is used, while you are connected, to stop one address from flooding the login. It is not written to the database.

Who else is involved

• Cloudflare stands in front of the site and passes every request through, as it does for much of the web.
• Discord, Google and Twitch confirm who you are when you enter. Each of them knows you entered this game, under its own privacy policy.
• Discord serves avatar pictures, so showing your avatar loads it from Discord.

Nothing the game holds is sold or given to anyone.

Having it removed

To have your account removed, ask in the community Discord. It is done by hand: the account number, your player name, your avatar's address and your sign-in records are deleted. Your characters' deeds stay in the chronicle as part of the world's history, with nothing left that leads back to you.

You can also remove the game from the connected apps of your Discord, Google or Twitch account, which stops it recognising you there.

Changes

If what the game collects changes, this page changes with it before the game does.
