What we do with your information

Every other site buries this under forty pages of lawyers so you won't read it. Here is the whole thing, in plain English. We mean every word, and the whole point of this place is that we can afford to mean it — there is no business here to tempt us otherwise.

What we actually keep

• The crawler name you choose.
• A password, if you register one — stored only as a one-way hash, never as text we can read.
• The game stuff you opt into: your class, level, inventory, and any awards or classes you create. It's tied to your crawler name and exists so the game works.
• That's it. There is no hidden profile of you.

What we never ask for

No real name. No email. No phone number. No photo. No location. No contact list. We don't collect them because we don't want them and we don't need them — a name and a password is the entire account.

Tracking

None. No analytics, no advertising networks, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts, no data brokers, no "partners." These pages make no calls to anyone but this server. There is nothing to sell, and no one to sell it to.

Your network address

To connect you at all, the server sees your network address — every server on earth does. Here it is cloaked from everyone else in the room, it is never used to build a profile of you, and it is handed to no one.

What you say

Conversation in the room is ephemeral — history clears in about a day and is gone. The room is a river, not a permanent record. Your chats are not archived.

Cookies

The site sets no tracking cookies. If you tell the web client to remember you, it stores your connection settings in your own browser, on your device — not on our server.

Email (or the total lack of it)

We don't collect an email address, and we run no email system at all. Which means we cannot send you marketing even if we ever lost our minds and wanted to. It's not a promise; it's a physical impossibility.

Deleting yourself

You can drop your own account any time — /msg NickServ UNREGISTER in the room, or just ask an op. When it's gone, it's gone: no "are you sure?" gauntlet, no reactivation trap, no win-back email six weeks later, because there's no email.

Who runs this: a tiny, fan-made, unpaid hobby on a roughly $7-a-month server. No company, no investors, no revenue, no growth targets. That absence is exactly why the incentive to surveil or sell you doesn't exist here — the moment it needed to pay anyone, it would become the thing it was built to escape.

This is written to be read and understood, not to be legally airtight boilerplate. If VOODOO ever grows into something larger, we'll formalize this properly, with an actual lawyer — but the commitment underneath it will not change.
