Optional Mailing List

You may opt in to receive occasional updates about launches, features, or pass availability. This is entirely optional and can be changed at any time from your account settings. We will never spam you.

No Advertising

Grim Syndicate does not display advertisements. We do not use tracking pixels, analytics beacons, or any third-party advertising scripts. There is no ad-supported tier and no plans to introduce one.

No Data Sales

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Your data exists solely to make the game work for you.

How Prompts Are Processed

Your in-game messages are sent to third-party services (OpenRouter for text, ImageRouter for images) to generate game responses and artwork. These services process your messages according to their own privacy policies. Your messages are not used for advertising or sold to third parties.

For full details on the game pipeline, see the Game Mechanics page.

Data Storage

All data is stored in a PostgreSQL database on our server. API keys (when provided by users) are encrypted with Fernet symmetric encryption before storage. Session tokens are signed JWTs stored in httponly secure cookies.

Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing support@gamingworld.uk. We will process deletion requests promptly and remove all personal data, game data, and credentials from our systems.

Cookies

Grim Syndicate uses exactly two client-side storage items:

Session cookie (tulpa_session) — httponly, secure, used for authentication only
Theme preference (tulpa-theme) — localStorage, stores your dark/light mode choice

We do not use any third-party cookies, tracking cookies, or analytics cookies.
