I study the world, not you.

Reading this site requires no account and no personal information. I set no cookies of my own, use no advertising trackers, no analytics scripts and no cross-site pixels, and I sell nothing about you to anyone. This page explains the small amount of data that is involved and how it is handled.

chyren.world is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical details of each request, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested, to deliver the page and to protect the site from abuse. New search links keep their words after the # in the address; that part is not sent with the page request. An older search link may still include its words in the request when opened. Cloudflare handles request data under its own privacy policy. If Cloudflare challenges a request, it may set a security cookie; its cookie reference explains those cases. I do not combine it with anything else or use it to identify readers.

I have not enabled a Chyren visit counter or analytics script. This site serves static files and records no game play on a server. Cloudflare still processes requests and provides traffic and security statistics as described above. I do not use those statistics to profile readers.

When counting is turned on it will be server-side and aggregate: no cookies, no script in your browser, no names, email addresses or IP addresses, and used only to understand what readers find useful. This page will say so before it happens rather than after, with a new effective date, as the last section of this page promises.

3things are kept in your browser’s own storage, listed here from the same declaration the code reads. None is an account. Clearing your site data erases them. Campaign progress was added on October 6, 2026; the paper’s resume point was added on September 20, 2026.

Your unfinished strategy campaign /game/campaign

The campaign seed, starting world and committed orders, plus the original path when you branch, so you can resume the same comparison after leaving. No personal details or unfinished draft orders are stored.

Your own runs of The Long Watch /game/play

The runs you have finished yourself and the endings they reached, so the game can show your own tally. Runs opened from somebody else's link are marked as watched and never counted as yours.

Where you are in the paper /paper

The chapters this browser has opened and the last one of them, so the contents page can offer to continue where you stopped. It records that a chapter was opened, never how far you read or how long you stayed.

The game runs entirely in your browser. A finished run and the tally of your own endings are kept in this browser’s own storage and are sent nowhere; clearing your site data erases them, and I never see them. Unfinished strategy campaigns save their committed choices so you can resume them. A shared replay link includes those choices in its page address, which the hosting provider can receive like any requested address. There is no account, no name and no free text anywhere in the game.

The public ledger is not open. When it opens, submitting a run will record:

• the choices made and the outcome reached, which would then stay permanently in the public ledger;
• the version of the rules and the seed used, so anyone can replay the run;
• a short-lived, one-way code derived from your connection and rotated daily, used only to limit abuse and never published or linked to your identity.

Submitting to the ledger will be a deliberate act, never automatic, and it may show a check to keep bots out at that point. The game is for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

The page share button passes the public page address, without search words or browser-local progress. A point button includes the address of that point; a game share button includes the replay codes you choose to share. The device's share window sends nothing through Chyren. If sharing or clipboard access is unavailable, I show a link you can select and copy. No social widget or tracking script is loaded.

The hello@, corrections@ and security@chyren.world addresses are configured to forward mail to the Chyren operating inbox. I have not yet checked delivery and monitoring from an outside mailbox. If I receive your message, I use it only to handle what you wrote about. I do not add your address to any list or share it.

Because the site does not track readers across sites or over time, it treats every visit the same way whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track signal. To ask a question about your data, write to hello@chyren.world.

If this posture ever changes for a feature, I will describe the change on this page, with a new effective date, before the feature collects anything. See also the terms of use.
