Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Etournal (Etournal LLC, a Texas limited liability company) collects, why, and what happens to it — in plain language, because that's how we'd want it explained to us. The short version: we collect what the service needs to run, we don't sell your data, and we don't run advertising or tracking.

1. What we collect

• Account information— your email address, username, date of birth (used only to confirm you are old enough to have an account), and password (the password is stored only in securely hashed form; we never see it in plain text). If you sign in with Google or Discord, we receive your name, email address, and avatar from them; we never see that account's password.
• Profile details you choose to add — such as a display name or answers to optional questions about how you play. These are optional and editable.
• Your game content — the worlds, campaigns, characters, notes, images, and other material you create or upload.
• Service logs — routine technical records (such as IP address and request timestamps) generated by operating and securing the service.

2. What we use it for

To run Etournal: sign you in, store and display your content to you and the people you share it with, send transactional email (confirmation and password-reset links), keep the service secure, and fix problems. That's it. We do not sell your information, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not use your game content for anything beyond providing the service to you.

3. Where it lives

Etournal runs on trusted infrastructure providers who process data on our behalf: our database and authentication are hosted by Supabase, the application is hosted by Vercel, and transactional email is delivered by Resend. Each processes your data only to provide their service to us, under a data processing agreement with us.

AI features. When you use a feature that generates text or images, the prompt and the game content it needs are sent to the AI provider that produces the result — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or fal.ai, depending on the feature. They process it to return the output and, under their business terms, do not use it to train their models. Nothing is sent unless you press an AI button.

Payments. If you buy something, payment is handled by Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe directly and never touch our servers; we keep only a record of what you bought.

Your data is stored in the United States. Our database and file storage run in Oregon, USA. If you are outside the United States — including in the UK or the European Economic Area — using Etournal means your information is transferred to and processed in the United States, under the safeguards in our agreements with the providers above.

4. Cookies

Etournal uses only essential cookies: the session cookies that keep you signed in, and a small preference cookie (such as your chosen theme). There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies, which is why there is no cookie banner.

5. Who can see your content

Your game content is visible to you and to the members of the spaces you share it in (for example, the players in your world), under the visibility rules the game master sets. Administrators can access data when needed to operate the service or investigate abuse. We disclose information to third parties only if the law requires it.

6. Your choices

You can edit your profile details in the app. You can ask us to export or delete your account and its data by emailing support@etournal.com; deletion removes your account data from the live service, with residual copies leaving encrypted backups on their normal rotation schedule.

7. Children

Etournal is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we will remove it.

8. Changes and contact

If this policy changes in a significant way we will give notice in the app or by email. Questions: support@etournal.com, or write to Etournal LLC, 5900 Balcones Dr, Ste 100, Austin, TX 78731, USA. See also the Terms of Service.
