Privacy policy

The short version

Two Earths is a game. We collect only what the game needs to run: how you sign in, your email address, the side you declared, your votes, and what you post. We don't sell your data and we don't show ads based on it.

What we collect

• Login and email address. You sign in with Apple, Google, or a code we email you. We store your email address (with Apple you can choose to hide it, and we get a private relay address instead). We never see your Apple or Google password. Your email is never shown to other players.
• One account per person. To keep each person to one account we compare a simplified form of your email address (for example, ignoring dots and "+tags" in Gmail addresses), and we don't accept temporary or disposable email services. We do not collect phone numbers.
• Declared side. Whether you joined Men's Earth or Women's Earth. This is public: it appears as a badge next to your display name.
• Votes. Your votes on bills, crisis responses and Presidents. Individual votes are private. Only totals are published.
• Posts. Your display name, bills, campaign pitches, comments and upvotes. These are public.
• Safety and abuse records. Reports you file or receive, moderation decisions and strikes, and a scrambled (hashed) record of the email address and internet address used to request sign-in emails, which we use to stop spam.
• Technical logs. Basic server and error logs kept by our hosting providers.

How we use it

• To run the game: count votes, show results, and keep each player on one Earth.
• To keep it safe: filter and review posts, act on reports, and stop duplicate or fake accounts.
• To fix problems and understand how many people are playing.

Who helps us run it

These companies process data for us, only to provide their service:

• Supabase (database and sign-in) and Vercel (website hosting).
• Apple and Google, if you choose to sign in with them.
• Resend, our email delivery provider, which receives your email address to send your sign-in code.
• Cloudflare, whose Turnstile check confirms that sign-in requests come from a person and not a bot.
• Anthropic, whose AI model checks the text of new posts against our content rules. Only the text of the post is sent, not your name, email address or votes.

We may also share information if the law requires it.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your data while your account exists. You can ask us to delete your account by contacting our Instagram account by direct message. We then remove your login and email address. Vote totals and past results stay, because they are part of the game's public history, and your posts may remain without your name.

Because the choice of Earth is permanent, we keep a scrambled (hashed) copy of your email address together with the side you picked, so that a deleted account can't rejoin on the other Earth. That copy can't be turned back into your address.

Children

You must be 13 or older to play. If we learn that a player is under 13, we delete the account.

Changes and contact

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. Questions or requests: contact our Instagram account by direct message. See also our terms.
