Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 5, 2026
1. Who We Are
Gnimri is operated by Familiaris Games ("we", "us", "our"). For privacy inquiries, contact us at privacy@familiaris.games.
2. Data We Collect
Account data
When you sign up we collect your email address and create a unique user ID. Authentication is handled by Supabase.
Game state
Your character information, inventory, map position, NPC relationships, quest progress, and other gameplay data are stored so you can resume your adventure.
Player profile
Your subscription type, UI preferences, and language model preferences. If you choose the "bring your own key" (BYOK) tier, your Anthropic API key is stored server-side in masked form. You can remove it at any time from your account settings.
Gameplay telemetry
We record anonymized gameplay events (action types, biomes visited, combat outcomes, causes of death) to improve game balance. Telemetry is automatically deleted after 90 days.
Token usage
We track the number of AI tokens consumed per model and per role (e.g. scene description, NPC dialogue) to manage service costs.
Player communications
- Whispers (private messages to other players): stored for 24 hours, then automatically deleted.
- Universe events (public activity feed entries): stored for 1 hour, then automatically deleted.
Mute and block preferences
If you mute or block another player, we store that preference so it can be enforced.
Cookies
We use only strictly necessary cookies for authentication and session management (Supabase session cookies). We do not use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.
3. How We Use Your Data
- Account data: to authenticate you and manage your session.
- Game state: to provide the core game experience and save your progress.
- Telemetry: to analyze game balance and detect bugs (admin-only access).
- Communications: to enable multiplayer features (whispers, universe events).
- AI processing: your text commands and surrounding game context are sent to Anthropic's Claude API so the AI can generate narration, NPC dialogue, combat descriptions, and content moderation. Anthropic does not use API inputs to train its models.
4. Third-Party Processors
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database hosting and authentication |
| Anthropic | AI content generation and moderation |
| Vercel | Application hosting |
Each processor maintains its own data protection agreements. Supabase and Anthropic are US-based; your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States.
5. BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)
If you provide your own Anthropic API key, your game data is sent to Anthropic under your own API agreement with them. Your key is stored server-side and masked when displayed. You can remove it at any time. Familiaris Games is not responsible for charges incurred on your Anthropic account.
6. Data Retention
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account and game state | Until you delete your account or reset your world |
| Gameplay telemetry | 90 days (automatic deletion) |
| Whispers | 24 hours (automatic deletion) |
| Universe events | 1 hour (automatic deletion) |
| Token usage logs | Until account deletion |
7. Your Rights
Under GDPR (EU/EEA/UK residents)
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, and port your personal data. You may also object to processing and lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Under CCPA (California residents)
You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell your personal data.
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@familiaris.games. Deleting your account removes all associated personal data (game state, profile, telemetry, communications).
8. International Transfers
Our service providers are based in the United States. If you are located outside the US, your data will be transferred to the US for processing. We rely on standard contractual clauses and equivalent safeguards where required by law.
9. Children
Gnimri is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in EU/EEA jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at privacy@familiaris.games and we will delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email. The "Effective date" at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
