1. Introduction

Welcome to Old Greg's Tavern (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered interactive storytelling game (“Service”).

By accessing or using Old Greg's Tavern in any way, including playing the free starter adventure, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use our Service.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal identifying information. We may share information:

With Service Providers: Third parties who assist in operating our Service (hosting, analytics, payment processing).
With Advertising and Analytics Partners: As described in Section 2.3, we share limited data — page views, conversion events, IP address, browser metadata, and hashed identifiers where available (for example, a one-way SHA-256 hash of your email address and account ID when you are signed in; we never share your raw email address with advertising partners) — with Google (Google Ads), Meta (Facebook/Instagram), TikTok, AppLovin (Axon), Reddit, OpenAI (ChatGPT Ads), and PostHog for the purposes of measurement, advertising, and product analytics. In jurisdictions that require it, this sharing only occurs after you provide consent via our cookie banner.
For Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect rights and safety.
Aggregated Data: Non-identifiable statistical data for analysis and improvement.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
With Your Consent: When you explicitly agree to sharing.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide the Service and to meet our legal, safety, and business obligations. Specifically:

Account information (email, username, date of birth, payment records): retained for the duration of your account so you can sign in, resume your campaigns, and maintain age verification status. For accounts suspended because the holder is aged 13–17, the date of birth is retained so the account can unlock automatically on the holder’s 18th birthday.
Game content (characters, stories, dialogue, choices, AI interactions): retained for the duration of your account so your campaigns persist across sessions.
Safety, abuse, and fraud-prevention records (including ban status and content safety flags): retained for up to 24 months after they are created, or longer where required by law, to protect the Service and other users.
Support communications (including Discord help-ticket transcripts): retained while your account is active and as needed to provide support and improve the Service; you may request deletion at any time at [email protected].
Transactional records: retained as long as required by tax, accounting, and financial-reporting laws (typically 7 years).
Aggregated and anonymized data: retained indefinitely, as it no longer identifies you.

You may delete your account at any time from your Account page (see our Delete Account guide) or by contacting us at [email protected]. When you delete your account:

Your account record — including your username, email address, date of birth, password credentials, and active subscription — is deleted immediately. Active Stripe subscriptions are canceled and you are unsubscribed from our newsletter.
Your game content (characters, campaigns, stories) is disassociated from your identity at the moment of account deletion: the account record that linked the content to you no longer exists, leaving only an opaque internal identifier with no path back to a person. We may retain this disassociated content for service operation, analytics, and safety purposes.
Safety, abuse, fraud-prevention, and transactional records are retained for the periods stated above, as required by law and as necessary to protect the Service and other users. On account deletion we de-identify these safety records by removing directly-identifying fields (email address, IP address, and device/browser identifiers), retaining only the information needed for safety and legal-compliance purposes. Records subject to a legal preservation obligation (for example, material reported to child-safety or law-enforcement authorities) are retained in full for as long as the law requires.

If you wish to also have your disassociated game content deleted on a best-effort basis, contact us at [email protected] and we will action the request within 60 days, subject to the safety, abuse-prevention, and legal-retention exceptions above.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:

Encryption of data in transit and at rest
Regular security assessments
Access controls and authentication measures
Secure development practices

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

Access: Request a copy of your personal identifying information.
Correction: Update or correct inaccurate personal data.
Deletion: Request removal of your personal identifying data (gameplay content is retained).
Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications.
Withdraw Cookie Consent: Where the cookie banner applies to you (EEA, UK, Switzerland, Canada), you may withdraw consent at any time by clearing the cb_consent cookie in your browser, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.
Do Not Track: We respect browser Do Not Track signals.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

8. Children’s Privacy

Old Greg's Tavern is for players aged 18 and over; it is not available to anyone under 18. We collect date of birth information solely to verify that users meet this minimum age requirement. We may ask for it at any point, and it is used only to confirm eligibility. A user whose date of birth indicates they are under 18 is denied access and their account is suspended; accounts of users aged 13–17 unlock automatically on the holder’s 18th birthday. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13: a user who provides a date of birth indicating they are under 13 is blocked from accessing the Service and their account is disabled. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] for removal.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

10. AI and Content Generation

10.1 AI Processing

Old Greg's Tavern uses third-party AI model providers to generate game content in response to your inputs. Your prompts and the resulting AI responses are sent to these providers as needed to operate the Service. We:

Do not train AI models on your content. We do not fine-tune, train, or otherwise build AI models using your chats, characters, stories, or other inputs.
Analyze interaction patterns in aggregate to enhance the Service.
May use anonymized content examples for marketing or educational purposes.

International transfers of your personal data outside the EEA, UK, or Switzerland are made with appropriate safeguards in place (such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent UK addenda).

16. AI Disclosure and Safety

Old Greg's Tavern is an AI-powered service. Its story content is generated by AI and is fiction. AI-generated responses may be inaccurate or unexpected and are provided for entertainment only. AI is not a substitute for professional advice.

Our self-harm safety protocol, including what we record when it intervenes, is described in our Content & Safety Policy and on our Safety page.

By using Old Greg's Tavern in any way, including accessing the free starter adventure, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Privacy Policy.
