Privacy

Last updated: November 2026.

What I collect

  • Account: your name, email and a securely hashed password (I can never see your password).
  • Contact form: your name, email and message, so I can reply.
  • Payments: handled by Stripe. I never receive or store your card number. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment data.
  • Live Translator: audio you choose to send is processed by OpenAI to create the text. It is not stored on this site. The transcript stays in your browser unless you download it.
  • Games: your nickname, scores, which tables you join and your chat messages. Your account name, game results and scores appear publicly in the Hall of Fame and on your player profile. Your email is never shown.
  • Activity: while signed in, the pages you open, when you sign in or out, and the device/browser name, so I can run and improve the site. Only I (the admin) can see this.
  • Approximate location: the city, region and country your internet address points to (not your street) are recorded with page visits, and used to show your local weather and the map on the contact page. Your exact location is used only if you press "Use exact location" and your browser asks you and you allow it; it is not stored unless you tick "Include my location" when sending a message. Websites cannot see your device's hardware (MAC) address.
  • Grocery list and notes: if you are signed in, they are saved to your account and only you can see them. If not, they stay in your own browser.
  • Astrology: birth details are used once to calculate the chart and are not stored.
  • Technical: a sign-in cookie that keeps you logged in, and a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address to block spam.
