Plain English. No legal jargon. Your privacy matters.

Last updated: November 30, 2025

The Short Version

We do not sell or share your personal information. Ever. Your data belongs to you. We collect only what's necessary to provide the service, and we protect it like it's our own.

Our Promise to You

We are firm believers in data privacy. Here's what that means in practice:

  • We never sell your data

    Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. Period.

  • We never share your data

    Your characters, campaigns, and account info stay with us.

  • No tracking for advertising

    We don't track you across the web or build advertising profiles.

  • You own your data

    You can export or delete your data at any time.

What We Collect

We only collect information that's necessary to provide you with the service:

Username To identify you on the platform
Password To secure your account (stored encrypted, never in plain text)
Characters & Campaigns The content you create — this is the whole point of the service!

We don't collect your real name, phone number, address, or any other personal information unless you choose to provide it.

Third-Party Services (Subprocessors)

To provide RPG World, we use a small number of trusted third-party services. These services only receive the minimum data necessary to perform their function.
