What Thought-Census keeps private

Thought Census is operated by Julio Barragan in New Jersey, United States. Contact jaysibe7@gmail.com for privacy questions, access, correction, or deletion requests. We may need to verify account ownership before acting.

The service is for people aged 13 and older, and any higher minimum age required where they live. It is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it as appropriate. We do not ask for a full date of birth to record agreement acceptance.

We collect the information needed to operate an account: your email address for sign-in and account notices, your generated Node ID, public questions and answers, reactions, reports, support requests, and account communication preferences.

Questions, answers, reactions, and Node IDs are public-facing service content. Your email address, authentication data, moderation details, and private support messages are not shown on public pages.

We use limited first-party product analytics to understand whether pages, answers, and sharing features work. Those events record an event type, page path, and optionally a question ID, not email addresses, IP addresses, browser fingerprints, or answer text. If you enable return-visit measurement in Settings, your browser keeps only the last visit date and sends an anonymous returning-visit event. No visitor identifier is sent. You can disable this and clear that date in Settings.

Prism Meadow uses an approximate continent supplied by our hosting provider from your connection to choose a starting island. It does not request GPS access or store this location in your game profile. VPNs may affect the starting island. Other players can see your temporary robot, its colors, and its position in the shared world, but are not sent your IP address, country, or account email.

Shared Prism Meadow item positions and stacks are saved between visits. Your two robot color choices can be saved to your account and cached on your device. Player position, travel distance and progression are not saved. World recovery checkpoints and a limited change history contain world objects, not player journeys or permanent item ownership. Rolling checkpoints are kept for 24 hours, daily and recovery checkpoints for 30 days, and recent world changes for up to seven days, with cleanup during checkpoint creation. Temporary account-linked edit permissions and the current world-saving session help protect the shared world; these identifiers are not shared with other players. Signed-out solo play does not change the saved shared world.

We use service providers for hosting, authentication, database storage, and email delivery. They process data only to provide those services. We do not sell raw answers or account emails. Aggregate analysis is governed by the Data Use Policy.

You can export your account history in Settings and delete your account on the account-deletion page. Account deletion removes your sign-in, preferences, and private support records. Public questions and answers remain with their account link removed to preserve other participants' discussions; text you posted may still identify you, so contact us for content-specific privacy requests. Providers may retain limited backups and security logs under their own retention policies. We may retain limited records for security, moderation, or legal obligations.

Vercel hosts the website, Supabase provides authentication and database storage, and Resend provides email delivery when enabled. Infrastructure providers may process connection information, including IP addresses, for operation and security even though our product analytics events do not store them. Processing may occur outside your home country. Weekly digest email is optional and can be disabled in Settings or using its unsubscribe link.
