Privacy Policy

Who we are

Rega1 is run by Shlomo Sasson, based in Israel. He is the data controller for the information described here, including under the UK GDPR. You can reach him at shlomo@club-tec.co.il.

What we collect on this website

• Which pages you visit, when, and how long you stay.
• How far you scroll on a page.
• Clicks on the button that opens a game.
• Your device type (phone or computer) and the country you're visiting from.
• The website or link that brought you here.

We don't store IP addresses with these records, we don't use advertising cookies, and we don't track you on other websites.

The visitor ID in your browser

To count a returning visitor once instead of twice, this website stores a random visitor ID in your browser's local storage. It's just a random number. It isn't linked to your name or contact details, and we use it only to produce statistics about how the site is used. It stays until you clear your browser's storage or opt out. We also keep a separate visit ID that your browser deletes when you close the tab, and we remember your choices about this notice and about opting out.

The first time you visit the English pages, a short notice at the bottom of the page tells you about the visitor ID. If you choose Opt out there, or use the switch below, we delete the visitor ID from this browser and stop sending any usage data from it, on all pages of rega1.co.il. Your choice is saved on your device, so if you clear your browser's storage, you'll need to opt out again.

What the desert island game collects

• The name you type in, which can be any name you like.
• The character and colour you pick, the items you choose, and your final item.
• The personal reading written for you, so you can come back to it.
• Feedback, but only if you choose to send it.

Please don't type sensitive personal information into the game. Your game is saved under a private link that only you have. We don't ask for your email or phone number.

What the Values Game collects

Playing on your own

• To write your reading, the values you kept, a few cards you were still deciding on or let go of late, your topic, and the size of your deck are sent to Anthropic's AI model. Your name and contact details are not sent with them, and we don't save the reading on our servers.
• Your progress and your reading are saved in your own browser, so a refresh doesn't lose your game. They stay on your device.
• Anonymous totals: for each card and topic, how many times the card was shown and how many times it was kept. These totals have no ID of any player, and the game uses them to show how often other players kept a card.
• Usage steps, such as starting, finishing and sharing, are counted the same way as on this website, with a random ID stored in your browser.
• We count how many readings are written each day, to keep costs under control.

Email and feedback

• If you ask to email your results, we use the address you type only to send that email and don't save it. The email includes your values, your reading, and a name if you typed one.
• If you send feedback, we receive your rating, your comment, a name if you add one, your topic, where you came to the game from (such as this website or an email), your browser type, and your country. Feedback is emailed to Shlomo Sasson and kept in the Rega1 feedback store.

Group rooms

• Each player types a name, which can be any name, and picks an emoji. The room keeps each player's name, emoji, progress, and kept values, and later the group reading.
• To write the group reading, Anthropic's AI model receives the players' names and choices. In Business and Teamwork rooms the reading is anonymous: names are not sent, and the reading never mentions them.
• Anyone with the room link can see the room, including the names and choices in it.
• Room data is deleted automatically 90 days after it was last saved.

Fonts and abuse protection

The Values Game loads its font from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address. To limit abuse, the game also holds your network address briefly in memory to count requests. It isn't written to storage.

Why we use it

• To run the game and show you your result. The legal basis is providing the service you asked for.
• To understand which pages and games work, and to fix what doesn't. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving the site, using data that isn't linked to your name or contact details. You can object at any time by opting out.

We don't sell your data, we don't use it for advertising, and we don't make decisions about you based on it. The reading is for fun and reflection only.

Who else handles it

• Vercel hosts the website and both games. It stores the usage data, and for the Values Game it also stores group rooms, the anonymous card totals, and feedback.
• Upstash stores the desert island game data.
• Anthropic receives your name, character, and item choices in the desert island game, and your card choices in the Values Game (plus players' names in group rooms that aren't anonymous), so its AI model can write your reading.
• Our email provider sends the results emails you ask for and the feedback emails.
• Google Fonts serves the font used in the Values Game.

Some of these providers process data outside the UK, including in the United States. We rely on their data protection terms for these transfers. We are based in Israel, which the UK recognises as giving adequate protection to personal data.

How long we keep it

Usage data is deleted automatically after 60 days. Desert island game data is kept so your private link keeps working. Values Game group rooms are deleted automatically 90 days after they were last saved. Anonymous card totals have no personal data and are kept. Feedback is kept to help us improve the games. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), you have the right to access, correct, or delete your data, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to receive a copy of it. To exercise any of these rights, email us and include your game link or room link if your request is about a game. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Turn off data collection

You can switch off usage data collection in this browser with one click. This deletes the visitor ID and stops all usage data from this browser on rega1.co.il. Your choice is saved on your device. The games are separate apps, so this switch applies to rega1.co.il only.

Children

The games aren't meant for children under 16. If you think a child has given us personal information, email us and we'll delete it.
