Privacy notice

What we keep

• Your account e-mail address and a hash of your password. We never store the password itself. We do not send e-mail to the address at present.
• Your login sessions.
• The messages you send and the replies you receive.
• The short notes a character keeps about a long conversation. You can see them in the chat menu, and erase them there.
• What you write about yourself on the account page.
• The characters you create.
• Your token balance and the record of how tokens were spent.
• The audio of replies you chose to listen to.
• A hashed form of your network (IP) address, used only to count requests against abuse limits. It is kept for two days.
• In live rooms, each line a character says to you, together with what you did next: wrote again, asked for an action, opened a private room, or nothing. Your own messages are not part of this record.

Why we keep it

We keep this so that the site can work: to log you in, to show your chats where you left them, to let a character remember a long conversation, to keep your token balance right, and to limit abuse.

The record of what characters say in live rooms is used to improve how they talk. From time to time a character's recent lines are compared, those after which people stayed against those after which they left, and a few sentences of advice on manner are written for the character and used in later conversations, with you and with other people. A character's lines can repeat things you told the character; the advice is written without names or personal details.

Guests

If you use the site without an account, a cookie identifies your browser and the same things are kept under that guest identity, with no e-mail address or password. If you clear your cookies, the site no longer recognises you and you lose your chats, characters and tokens.

Who else handles it

To write a reply, the text of the conversation is sent to third-party AI model providers, together with the character's notes and what you wrote about yourself. They generate the reply, and messages and replies are checked against the content rules through them too.

When a voice is needed, the text to be spoken is sent to a text-to-speech provider.

When advice is written for a character, the character's recent lines in live rooms are sent to the same AI model providers.

The site is hosted with a cloud provider, so the data is stored on its servers.

Requests to the site pass through a network security provider (Cloudflare), which protects the site from attacks and sees your network address.

There is no advertising and no analytics on the site. We do not sell your data.

Cookies

We use only the cookies the site needs:

• a guest identifier;
• your login session;
• your confirmation that you are 18 or older;
• your choice of language.

There are no tracking cookies.

Your choices

You can:

• Delete a single chat. Its messages and the character's notes go with it.
• Erase a character's notes and keep the messages.
• Delete your whole account from the account page. This removes your chats, your characters, your profile and the record of what characters said to you in live rooms. A record of token movements, without personal details, is kept.
• As a guest, clear your cookies.

Changes

This notice describes the site as it is today. If what we keep or how we use it changes, this page and the date at the top change with it.
