Privacy

MaxRPG is operated by Maxwell Dacosta, Dacosta Games. For questions about your information, contact maxwelldondacosta@gmail.com.

Your account and saves

We store your username, account creation date, game saves and the actions and text you enter in the game. For password accounts we store a password hash rather than the original password. This information lets us provide your account, restore your games and keep saves separated between players.

Google sign-in

Google sign-in is optional. Google sends us a signed identity response which can contain your Google account identifier, email address, name and profile picture. We verify that response and store your Google identifier and email address to recognise your account. We do not store your Google password, name or profile picture, and do not request access to Gmail, Drive, contacts or other Google content. Your Google identity is used for account sign-in and linking, not advertising or AI game generation.

If you already have a username account, sign in to it first and open the Google sign-in page to link your existing saves. You can remove the app's connection through your Google Account settings. Removing that connection does not itself delete your game account or saves.

Cookies and service providers

We use an essential session cookie used to keep you signed in which also holds a temporary Google sign-in challenge lasting up to 10 minutes. Signing out clears the session cookie in your browser. Google's sign-in button connects your browser to Google, whose processing is described in Google's Privacy Policy.

Our hosting infrastructure processes connection information such as IP addresses and request logs to deliver and protect the service. The game sends game text and relevant game context to AI service providers to generate and process turns. Avoid entering private or sensitive real-world information into the simulation. Service providers may process information outside the UK.

Retention and your choices

Account information and saves remain stored so you can return to your games; there is currently no automatic inactive-account deletion. Backups may retain earlier copies. We process account and gameplay information to provide the service you request, and security information to prevent abuse and maintain the service.

To request access, correction, deletion or a copy of your account information, or to ask about retention, email the address above with your username. We will need to verify account ownership; never send a password or recovery code. You can also raise a data-protection concern with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
