Privacy Policy
Draft prepared: October 13, 2026
A clear view of the information that helps Elsewhere work, and the choices you have.
Who we are
Elsewhere is a platform for discovering, playing, creating, and publishing AI-powered narrative games at elsewhere-ai.app. This policy describes how the Elsewhere team handles information when you use the service.
You can contact the team about privacy, access, or deletion requests at jimmyguo2k@gmail.com.
Information we handle
Account information includes your email address, account identifier, authentication status, and profile information you provide. Email-and-password authentication is handled by Supabase Auth. Do not share your password in stories, comments, or support messages.
When you use Google sign-in, we receive your Google account identifier, email address, and basic profile information such as your name and profile picture. We use this information to authenticate you and create or maintain your Elsewhere profile. Google sign-in does not give Elsewhere access to your Gmail messages, contacts, or Google Drive files.
We handle the content you submit or create, including story prompts, conversations with creation tools, characters, uploaded assets, game drafts, published games, comments, likes, choices, and play sessions. Technical information may include browser or device details, IP addresses in service logs, timestamps, errors, and usage events.
How information is used
We use information to sign you in, save and deliver your creations, run interactive games, maintain play sessions, send account confirmation and password recovery messages, provide support, prevent abuse, and diagnose service problems.
We record creation and gameplay events to understand reliability and how games are played. Creators may see statistics about their own published games, such as play counts, completion, and choice patterns. Public comments and display names are visible to other users. Your sign-in email is not intended as a public profile field.
Google account information is used for authentication and account functionality. It is not requested for advertising or AI generation.
AI features and content
When you request generation or interact with an AI-powered game, relevant prompts, story context, gameplay input, and assets may be sent to the AI service providers needed to produce the response. Those providers process the submitted information under their applicable terms and data policies.
Avoid entering sensitive personal information or confidential material into prompts, stories, or public comments. Generated content can be inaccurate, unexpected, or similar to content produced for other users.
Browser storage and retention
We use cookies and browser storage for authentication, account sessions, preferences, and gameplay continuity. Guest progress may be tied to a browser-specific player identifier; clearing browser data can remove local settings or access to guest progress.
We retain account, creation, and gameplay information while it is needed to provide the service, resolve support requests, maintain security, and meet legal obligations. Retention varies by data type. Deleted information may remain temporarily in backups or logs before it is removed through their normal lifecycle.
Our service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and requests
You can edit supported profile fields, manage your creations, unpublish games, and delete your comments using the available controls. To request access, correction, export, or deletion of account information, email jimmyguo2k@gmail.com from the address associated with your account. We may need to verify your identity before acting.
You may revoke Google access through your Google Account settings. Revoking access does not itself delete your Elsewhere account or creations. Depending on where you live, additional privacy rights may apply.
Age and policy updates
This draft proposes that Elsewhere accounts are for adults aged 18 or older. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated through the service or another appropriate channel.
