Privacy policy

Your account email address and a sign-in session. If you sign in with Google, we receive the email address on that Google Account. If you use the Google age check, Google also shares your age group with us.

Your run: the world, chapter and beat you stand on, your stats, inventory, relationships and deaths, and the moves you have taken.

The narration written for you, so that reopening a record puts you back into your story instead of starting it over.

Your credit ledger: what was granted or purchased, and what each turn spent.

Your age confirmation for adults-only mode, if you made one, and your birth date, if you gave one on the setup screen. Section 05 says exactly what.

To run the story, to hold your place between sessions, and to keep the credit ledger honest and auditable.

None of it is used to build an advertising profile.

Age records are kept to hold adults-only mode to adults and accounts to people 13 or older.

Narration is produced by Anthropic (Claude). The text you write and the run context needed to answer it are sent to Anthropic to generate the narration you receive. We send it for that purpose.

Card payments, when they are enabled, are handled by Stripe. We never receive or store your card number.

We do not sell your data, and we do not hand it to advertisers.

Your account, your runs and their turn logs, and your credit ledger are kept while your account exists, because they are the story you can return to and the record of what you were charged.

When you delete your account, your runs and the narration written for them are kept for 30 days — unreachable, since there is no longer any way to sign in — and then removed.

When moderation stops a move or a piece of narration, we record which rule fired and a one-way fingerprint of the text rather than the text itself, so a pattern of abuse can be reviewed without keeping a copy of what was written.

The credit ledger and records tied to a completed payment are kept for as long as we are required to keep them, and no longer.

You must be 13 or older to hold an account, which you confirm when you sign up.

The Google Play version of LCLVERSE carries PG-13 stories only.

Adults-only mode exists on the website only. It is never in the Android app, whether from Google Play or by direct download. It unlocks only for a signed-in account that is confirmed as 18 or over. The website asks you to confirm in one of two ways, whichever it shows you.

Your own statement. You state that you are 18 or over when you switch the mode on. We store that you did, and when.

The Google check. You sign in with Google from the adult switch and allow Google to share your age group. Google tells us one of three things: under 18, 18 to 20, or 21 and over. It never gives us your date of birth. We store only whether the group is under 18 or 18 and over, when we read it, and that it came from Google. For this check Google also lets us see your name and profile picture. We do not use or keep them. If Google reports under 18, the mode stays locked. If Google shares no age group, this check cannot unlock the mode. We use these records only to lock or unlock adults-only mode, and we do not share them.

Photo ID is no longer used. From September 28 to October 2, 2026 the check was a photo ID and selfie check run by Stripe. The document and the selfie went to Stripe, not to us, and we asked Stripe to delete them when the check finished. We read the date of birth once to work out the result and did not keep it. We keep the result, when it was made, Stripe's reference for the check and the US state on the document. A pass still counts.

A birth date. The setup screen asks for a birth date, for the 13-or-older rule. Under 13 is refused and the date is not stored. If you are 13 or older, we store the date on your account. A stored birth date under 18 also blocks your own statement for adults-only mode.

One session cookie, so that you stay signed in. Nothing here follows you onto other sites.

Delete your account yourself at /legal/delete-account. It is on the web, so it works whether or not you still have the app, and it is reachable from your profile inside it. We email you a confirmation link and nothing is deleted until you open it.

That destroys your account, your notes, your badges and your sign-in tokens at once. Your runs and the narration written for them are removed 30 days later; until then nobody, including you, can reach them. Any unspent credit becomes unusable, because there is no way left to sign in.

Two things survive, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Worlds you published stay live for the people playing them, with your name removed — other people's runs are not ours to destroy on your request. And records tied to a completed payment are kept for as long as we are required to keep them, attached to an anonymous id with no name or address on it, and no longer.

If you cannot sign in, write to [email protected] or use the contact form linked at the foot of this page, and a person will do it by hand.
