Privacy Policy & Data Processing
Polyglot Path is an open-source educational role-playing game designed for language learning. As we prepare this version for public access (v1.0.0), we are committed to keeping your data secure and honoring your privacy according to the principles of "Privacy by Design".
1. Information We Collect
If you choose to register an account to save your progress permanently, we collect:
- Email Address: Used solely to identify your account and load your save files.
- Player Profile Name: Your in-game alias.
- Gameplay Telemetry: Anonymized grammar scores, vocabulary discovered, and dialogue logs. This educational data is stored so you can view your progress in the Learning Codex.
2. How We Protect Your Data
We employ industry-standard security measures to ensure your information remains strictly confidential:
- Password Hashing: Your password is never stored in plain text. We use
bcrypthashing, meaning no one (not even the server administrators) can read your password. - Rate Limiting: Authentication endpoints are protected against brute-force attacks to keep your account safe.
- Secure Sessions: We use httpOnly, encrypted, and secure cookies to maintain your login session.
3. Data Sharing & Third Parties
Your personal data (email, password hash) is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties. As the game relies on Artificial Intelligence to generate dialogues, your text inputs are processed by backend AI providers (such as Google Gemini). However, to protect you, your text inputs are heavily sanitized before scanning, and these external requests are not linked to your personal identity.
4. Your Rights
At any point you can request the deletion of your account and all associated telemetry data. Since this is an open-source, non-commercial instance, please contact the administrator via the project's repository.
