Privacy policy
Who we are
This policy explains how God's World (https://www.god-s-world.org, "the site") handles personal data. The site is run by its owner, who is the data controller. Contact for everything about your data: god-s-world-support@googlegroups.com.
You can play without an account
An account is optional. A guest plays everything without giving us any personal data: the settings of a guest (such as language, denomination and date format) stay in the browser of the device and are never sent to us. The game progress of a guest is not saved at all.
What we collect when you create an account
Depending on how you sign up:
- E-mail and password: your e-mail address and a password. The password is stored only as a one-way hash (argon2id), we cannot read it.
- Google: your Google name and e-mail address (the ones Google shares for sign-in). We never get your Google password or access to your Google data.
- Wallet (MetaMask): your public wallet address. No e-mail, no password.
For every account we also keep: the name shown in the game (a nickname you can change, we do not check it), the country if you choose one (we take no side in any dispute about countries: you may choose any flag), your language, the Christian denomination you choose (Catholic or Protestant), the date you agreed to keep it, the date of creation and of your last visit, the data of your game (progress, discovered chapters), and a login session (a random token, stored only as a hash).
Why, and on what legal basis
- To create and run your account and keep your game on all your devices: performance of the service you asked for (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)).
- The Christian denomination is data about religious belief, a special category (GDPR art. 9). We store it only with your explicit consent (the box you tick when signing up) and use it only to show you the right texts of the game. You can withdraw the consent at any time by deleting your account.
- To keep the site secure (rate limits, server logs, abuse prevention): legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f)).
Who receives your data
We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising. It is processed only by the services needed to run the site: our hosting provider (the server and the database are on a virtual server of Hostinger), an e-mail sending service (for verification and password-reset e-mails), and, if you choose them, Google or your wallet provider for the sign-in itself. Our web server keeps ordinary technical logs (IP address, time, page requested) to run and protect the site and to count visits.
How long we keep it
Your account data is kept until you delete your account. When you ask for deletion, the account is marked and deleted for good after 7 days (logging in again within these 7 days cancels it); then your account, login sessions and saved game data are erased. Backups of the database are kept for 14 days and then overwritten. Server logs are kept for a limited time only.
Your rights
You can ask us to give you a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to its use, and to receive it in a portable format. You can delete your account yourself in the game (user menu, "delete account"). For anything else write to god-s-world-support@googlegroups.com. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.
Cookies and local storage
When you are logged in, the site sets one cookie that keeps you logged in (httpOnly, strictly necessary). It is removed when you log out. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. The local storage of your browser keeps only a few settings of the game, such as your language, your Christian denomination, your date format and the settings of some games. It never keeps your game progress. The progress is saved only on our server, and only for registered users: we strongly recommend that you sign up, because without an account your progress is not saved.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date.
