4 STORIESREIMAGINED

Privacy

1. Controller

The controller is the private operator of this server (see legal notice). 4 Stories Reimagined is a non-commercial fan project for a small circle of family and friends. There is no advertising, no tracking and no selling of data.

2. Which data we process

  • Account: account name, password check value (never in plain text), optional e-mail address, times of creation, last login and password change, language, role and any suspension.
  • Game progress: characters, items, progress, quests, guilds, friend lists and ranking values.
  • Chat: chat messages are processed to deliver them to other players. Public chat lines near AI players can be read by them (section 3).
  • Bug reports: account, text, voluntary attachments (e.g. the ZIP file from Ctrl+F12 with game logs and details on operating system and graphics card), time, client version. On the portal without IP address and without browser data.
  • Download counter: only the number per file and day, without IP address.
  • Logs: the game server and the web server log technical events (e.g. logins, errors, requests) for troubleshooting and to prevent abuse. Passwords are never logged. The web server stores the IP address; its logs are rotated automatically and deleted after 90 days at the latest.

3. AI players and their memory

  • AI players read public chat lines near them, guild questions and what they experience in the game, and respond to them.
  • To answer and plan, a short excerpt is sent to an AI service: the bot's name, class, level and guild, the relevant public chat lines (including the character names in them) and an excerpt from the bot's memory. Account names, passwords, e-mail addresses, IP addresses and internal numbers are not sent. Lines recognised as confidential are replaced beforehand.
  • Services used: Anthropic (Claude, mainly Claude Haiku), a provider based in the USA; a local model on the operator's own computers, where no data leaves the project; and fixed answer templates. Google Gemini is currently switched off; if it is used again, this page will say so.
  • Memory: every AI player remembers encounters and conversations with characters (public content only). This memory is part of the game world and is kept permanently. There is no automatic deletion period. On request the operator removes entries that relate to you (section 6).

4. Cookies and third parties

Only one technically necessary session cookie (__Host-p4portal, HttpOnly, Secure, at most 8 hours) for login, language and protection against forged forms. No tracking or advertising cookies. Fonts, images and scripts are delivered by this server. No analytics tools, no embedded content, no sharing with third parties except the AI service in section 3.

5. Purpose, legal basis, retention

  • Account, game progress, chat and bug reports: running the game for you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • Logs, abuse prevention and AI players: legitimate interest in a safe and lively game (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The transfer to Anthropic in the USA is based on the provider's contractual terms (EU standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).
  • Account and game progress are kept as long as the account exists. Bug reports are deleted when they are no longer needed. The memory of AI players is kept permanently (section 3).

6. Your rights

You can request access to your data at any time, as well as rectification, erasure (including your account and memory entries about you), restriction, data portability and objection. Contact the operator – on the portal via Report (category account) or directly. You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. Last updated: 4 November 2026.
