Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data Solos Gems collects, how cookies are used on this site (including for advertising), and how to reach us with questions. Solos Gems is operated by an individual, not a company, so treat "we" below as one person doing their best to be clear about this.
Data we collect directly
If you sign up for the newsletter, we store the email address you provide and the date you signed up, nothing else. If you use the Submit form to suggest a tool, send a correction, or report a DeathStack entry, we store what you typed in that form, including your email address if you chose to provide one. Neither list is sold, rented, or shared with third parties. You can ask to have your email removed from either list at any time by writing to casterej@yahoo.com.
If you use Herald (chat or a quest), your conversation is sent to our server and processed by an AI model on Cloudflare Workers AI to write the reply. We do not store conversations or link them to your IP address or any account; the chat lives only in your open browser tab, and quests (up to six) are saved only in your own browser, so you can continue them later on the same device. Clearing your browser data deletes them. Quests also show a picture of each scene, made by an AI image model on Cloudflare Workers AI from a short description of what just happened, and kept in your browser (and in your account, if you have one). If you create an account (optional), we store your username, a salted hash of your password (never the password itself) and your saved quests on Cloudflare, so you can continue on another device; signing in sets one strictly necessary cookie that keeps you signed in for up to 30 days. You can delete your account and its saved quests at any time from the quest screen. If you choose to show a quest on the Tavern board, its title, your hero's name, your actions, the Herald's scenes and the latest scene picture are public for up to a week (they are checked by an AI safety filter first, and anyone can report a quest to hide it); your account name is never shown. If you play in a party, the shared story, the heroes' names and stats and the latest scene picture are kept in that party's room on Cloudflare so everyone in it can see them; anyone with the six-letter party code can join, and rooms delete themselves after a week without play. Reaction GIFs, when shown, are loaded from GIPHY, which receives your IP address like any image host; you can switch pop-ups off under the quest. Your IP address is used only briefly to limit how many messages can be sent per minute. Please do not include personal details like passwords, payment details, or health records.
Cookies and advertising
This site uses or intends to use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this site or other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visits to this site and other sites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a number of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices.
Beyond ad cookies, this site is hosted on Cloudflare, which may set its own cookies or use similar technology for security, performance, and abuse prevention. Solos Gems does not currently run separate analytics or tracking scripts of its own.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up through them, at no extra cost to you. See the About page for the full disclosure. Clicking an affiliate link takes you to the vendor's own site, which has its own separate privacy policy that this document does not cover.
Children's privacy
Solos Gems is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change to reflect that.
