Privacy Policy

AWAKEN is run by Ayomide Ogunyemi. This policy explains what we collect when you use AWAKEN, why, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect what the game needs to work, we don't sell it, and we don't use advertising or cross-site tracking.

What we collect

Your account

• Your player name and email address.
• Your password, stored only as a one-way hash. We can't read it, and nobody at AWAKEN will ever ask you for it.
• Your settings: time zone, the hour your day starts, and the focus areas you choose.
• Your age range (13–17 or 18+, not your date of birth), whether a parent or guardian agreed for under-18s, and when you accepted these terms.

What you do in the game

• Quests, habits, goals, milestones and focus sessions you create or complete, including any titles and notes you write.
• Your XP history, level, rank, attributes, skills, streaks, achievements and in-app notifications.

All of this is self-reported: AWAKEN records what you tell it. It doesn't use your location, camera, microphone, contacts or health data.

Security records

• For each signed-in session: your IP address and browser type, so you can be kept signed in safely.
• Short-lived counters keyed by IP address or account that limit how quickly the site can be used, and daily counts of things you create. Email addresses in these counters are stored only in scrambled form.
• A count of recent wrong passwords for an email address, used to pause sign-in after repeated failures.

What other players can see

If you're on the global leaderboard, other signed-in players can see your display name, title, level, rank and XP. They never see your email or your individual quests, habits and goals. Players aged 18 and over are listed by default, and under-18s are hidden unless they choose to join. You can change this at any time in Settings.

Why we use it

• To run your account and the game: generating quests on your own clock and calculating your progress.
• To keep accounts secure: preventing password guessing, spam sign-ups and abuse.
• To send emails you need, such as confirming your address or resetting your password.
• To understand how AWAKEN is used, through site-wide totals such as sign-ups and quests completed. Our admin dashboard shows only these totals, not individual players.

We process your data because it's needed to provide the service you signed up for, and, for the security records, because we have a legitimate interest in protecting your account and the service.

We don't sell your data, share it with advertisers, build advertising profiles or use it to train AI models.

Site analytics

We don't use any site analytics or page-view tracking. Nothing about which pages you visit, how you move around the app, or how fast it loads for you is sent anywhere outside the service itself.

Cookies and local storage

AWAKEN sets one essential cookie that keeps you signed in. It's removed when you sign out and expires after 14 days without use. A second small cookie remembers whether you collapsed the sidebar, and stays for up to a year. Neither is used for tracking. The focus timer remembers a suggested break in your browser's local storage; that never leaves your device. We use no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Who processes it for us

We use a small number of providers to run AWAKEN. They handle your data only on our instructions:

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure hosts the server the app and database run on.
• Cloudflare routes every request to the app (so our server never accepts connections directly from the internet) and provides DNS. It sees your IP address and the pages you request, the same as any provider sitting in front of a website.
• Resend delivers account emails, when email is switched on.
• Cloudflare Turnstile additionally checks for automated traffic on sign-up, password reset and repeated failed sign-ins, when switched on.

These providers may process data outside your country. They protect it under their own data processing terms, including standard contractual clauses where the law requires them.

How long we keep it

• Account and game data: until you delete your account. Deletion is immediate. Encrypted backups, kept only to recover from data loss, are removed within 30 days.
• Sessions: until you sign out, or 14 days after you last used AWAKEN.
• Rate-limit counters: up to a day. Daily usage counts: about a month.
• Wrong-password counts: cleared when you sign in or reset your password, and removed after a month otherwise.
• Notifications you've read: 90 days.

Your rights

You can see and change your name, time zone and focus areas in Settings, and all your game data is shown in the app. You can delete your account at any time from Settings: it immediately and permanently removes your account and everything linked to it. To ask for a copy of your data, or for anything else about it, contact Ayomide Ogunyemi from the email address on your account. We'll reply within 30 days.

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to object to or restrict how we use your data, and to complain to your data protection authority.

Security

Connections are encrypted with HTTPS, passwords are hashed, each player's records are isolated from everyone else's, and sign-in pauses after repeated wrong passwords. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach affecting your data, we'll tell you without undue delay.

Age

AWAKEN is for people aged 13 and over. If you are under 18, please use AWAKEN with the permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact Ayomide Ogunyemi and we'll delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use data you've already given us, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect.
