Privacy Policy
Life's Work · Effective October 23, 2026
Life's Work is a free, afterlife-themed party board game you can play in a web browser or as a Discord Activity. This policy explains what information the game collects, why, and what you can do about it. We keep it to the minimum the game needs.
What we collect
| Information | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your Discord user ID, display name and profile picture link | When you launch the game in Discord and authorize it (Discord's identify permission) | To show your name and picture in the game and to keep your profile and scores attached to you |
| Your game profile: chosen ride and portrait, games played, wins, best score, and (in future) items you unlock | When you change your look or finish an online game | To save your progress between games |
| Game room data: who is seated in a room, the game in progress and recent moves | While you play an online or Discord game | To run the game and keep every player in sync |
| A session token | When you start an online game | To recognise your moves as yours during play |
| Settings on your own device (sound and music volume, mute, and looks for local games) | When you change them | So the game remembers your preferences. These stay in your browser's storage and are not sent to us. |
We do not collect your email address, your Discord servers, friends or messages, payment information, or precise location. We do not use advertising or third-party analytics, and we never sell your information.
When you authorize the game, Discord gives it a temporary access token. It is used once to look up your user ID, name and picture, and it is not stored in our database.
Games played entirely in your browser in local mode (without Discord or an online room) send no personal information to us.
Who processes it
- Discord provides sign-in and your profile details when you use the game as a Discord Activity. Discord's own Privacy Policy applies to your use of Discord.
- Convex hosts the game's database (profiles, scores and game rooms).
- Cloudflare hosts and delivers the website. Like any web host, it handles technical data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect against abuse.
These providers handle the data only to run the service for us.
How long we keep it
Your profile and scores are kept for as long as you play, so your progress is there when you come back. Game room data is kept only as long as it is useful for running games and may be deleted at any time. If you ask us to delete your data, we remove your profile, scores and unlocked items.
Your choices and rights
- You can play locally in a browser without signing in at all.
- You can change your portrait to an icon instead of your Discord picture at any time in the Wardrobe.
- You can remove the game's access in Discord under User Settings → Authorized Apps.
- You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. We will honour them.
Children
The game is meant for people old enough to use Discord under its terms (13 or older, or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect information from younger children. If you believe a child has used the game, email jongingrich@gmail.com and we will delete their data.
Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and stored with our hosting providers. No system is perfectly secure, but we limit what we collect so there is little to expose.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. If the change is significant, for example new kinds of data, we will tell players in the game.
Contact
For questions, data requests or deletion, email jongingrich@gmail.com. Please include your Discord username so we can find your profile.
