Who We Are
Foretell is an online multiplayer card game operated by an independent developer based in the European Union. Contact: voxvienne@protonmail.com.
What We Collect
- Display Name — the name you enter to play. Visible to other players in the same room.
- Avatar Choice — the character portrait you pick. Visible to other players.
- Chat Messages — text you send in the in-game chat. Visible to other players in the same room.
- Session Token — a random identifier stored in your browser (localStorage) to let you reconnect if you briefly lose connection. No personal data is derived from it.
- Block List — names you have blocked, stored only on your device.
- IP Address & Report Data — when another player reports you for misconduct, we store the room code, the names involved, the IP address, and a timestamp so we can act on abuse. This is the only case in which we store an IP address.
What We Do NOT Collect
- No email, phone number, or real name.
- No account or password.
- No tracking cookies, no analytics, no advertising identifiers.
- No location data beyond what an IP address inherently reveals.
Why We Collect It
Your display name and chat messages are needed to play the game with others. Session tokens enable reconnect after network drops. Report data is retained to enforce the Terms of Service and keep the community safe (App Store and Google Play both require this).
How Long We Keep It
- Game state (including chat) lives in server memory only. It is wiped when the room ends or the server restarts — no database, no backups.
- Reports are kept in a log file for up to 90 days and then deleted.
- Session tokens expire after 2 hours in your browser.
Who We Share With
No one. We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties. The only external service involved is the hosting provider running the game server.
Children
Foretell is rated 12+. The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the EU/EEA, you have the right to access, correct, export, or delete any personal data tied to you. Because the game stores almost nothing persistent, there is usually nothing to delete. For report-log data, email voxvienne@protonmail.com with the approximate date and room code, and we will remove matching records within 30 days.
Security
All traffic is served over HTTPS. Session tokens are random UUIDs and are never shared with other players.
Changes
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Material changes will be announced in-app.
