1 IN 8 BILLION
Privacy policy
Last updated:
This policy describes the current features of 1in8billion.online, an independent browser life simulation for ages 15 and up. You can play without an account. Advertising and payments are disabled in this release.
Guest play and device storage
Guest saves and imported legacy results are stored in IndexedDB on your device. Your language preference is stored in localStorage. Playing as a guest does not automatically upload your saves. Export a backup before clearing browser data; removing local saves or browser storage cannot be undone by us.
Accounts, cookies and cloud saves
If you sign in, we process your email address, account identifier, verification records and session information. Essential authentication cookies keep you signed in. Cloud saves you upload are linked to your account and contain fictional game state, choices, seeds and timestamps. Do not include real personal or sensitive information in names, notes or imported files.
Public stories and moderation
Publishing is optional. Published summaries, notes, memorials and approved comments can be read by other visitors and shared by link. Free text is reviewed before publication. Reports, moderation decisions and security records help prevent abuse. Copies already downloaded or shared by other people may remain outside our control after removal.
Hosting, email and security services
Cloudflare hosts the service and D1 database. Where configured, Cloudflare Turnstile checks sensitive actions and Resend delivers sign-in emails. These providers process information needed for their role, such as network metadata, verification signals or your email address. Requests may be processed outside your country under the providers’ own privacy terms. We do not sell personal information.
Optional visit analytics
On the production domain, Google Analytics 4 loads only after you allow it. It uses cookies and processes visit and device/network information to measure site usage; Google may process this information outside your country. We disable advertising storage and personalization and do not send game saves, email addresses or user-written content as analytics events. Initial page views omit URL query strings and fragments. Your choice is stored locally. Use Analytics preferences in the footer to decline or withdraw consent; withdrawal reloads the page and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies.
Operational records and retention
IP addresses are used for short-lived rate limits and security checks. The client sends only an error category for game, save or sync failures; it does not attach saves, free text, email addresses, page URLs or stack traces to that report. Hosting logs may contain request metadata. Application cleanup removes expired sessions and verification records, rejected stories and comments older than 30 days, resolved reports older than 90 days and audit entries older than 180 days. Cleanup runs opportunistically on API activity, so removal is not guaranteed at the exact cutoff. Provider logs follow provider retention settings.
Exporting and deleting your data
My lives provides account-data export and account deletion when signed in. Deletion removes linked cloud saves, published lives, comments and interactions; moderation audit entries can remain with an administrator identifier removed. Device-local saves must be removed separately. You can delete individual local or cloud saves from My lives. Signing out alone does not delete saved data.
Age, changes and contact
The service is intended for people aged 15 and older. Do not create an account or submit personal information if you are below that age. We update this page when our practices change. Operator identity and a direct privacy contact have not yet been supplied for this pre-launch version; they must be published on the Contact page before public launch. The report action is for community content concerns.
