Privacy.

You sign in with your own ChatGPT account. The sign-in tokens are kept encrypted on your computer and go only to OpenAI; the developer never sees them.

To write each turn, the game sends OpenAI your orders, your messages to other governments and ministers, and the part of the game's state the turn needs. Requests are sent with storage turned off. OpenAI handles them under its own privacy policy: openai.com/policies/privacy-policy.

Your games are saved on your computer. Nobody else can read them.

If you sign in with Google (optional), the game keeps your name, email address, profile picture and saves in a database run for the developer by Supabase, so you can continue on another computer. Signing out stops that; deleting a game deletes its cloud copy. To have your account and all its saves erased, write to the address below.

On its first start the game asks whether you want to help with anonymous statistics. They stay off until you say yes, and you can turn them on or off at any time in Settings → Anonymous statistics. A copy of the game built without the developer's database never asks and never sends.

If you agree, the game sends these events to the same Supabase database that keeps cloud saves: the game started; a game begun or opened, with its date, start, country, mode and role; a turn played, with its number and length, how long it took, how many tokens it used, which model wrote it, and whether it succeeded or the code of its error; an error shown to you, by its code alone; which of the game's main panels and actions you used. Each event also carries the game's version, where it runs (the Windows app, the Microsoft Store copy, the demo website or a browser), the interface language and a random id of this copy of the game. A game is named by an anonymous key that cannot be matched to its save.

Never sent: your orders, letters and speeches, the game master's text, names you type, your email, your Google or ChatGPT account, any tokens, your saves. The random id is made on your computer, is linked to no account, and is replaced by a new one when you turn statistics off and on again. The database has no place for IP addresses; like any server, Supabase sees the address a request comes from and may keep it briefly in its own request logs.

Events are deleted automatically after 12 months. Turning statistics off stops all sending at once and forgets the random id. To have the events of your copy erased sooner, write to the address below with the id that Settings shows while statistics are on.

The Windows app downloaded from GitHub checks the project's GitHub releases for a new version; GitHub sees that request. The Microsoft Store copy is updated by the Store.

Reading aloud uses the voices of your system or browser. The voices that come with Windows work on your computer; the online voices of Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome send the text being read to Microsoft or Google.

Voice input in the Windows app works on your computer: the speech model (Whisper, about 100 MB) is downloaded once, when you agree, from jsDelivr and Hugging Face, and after that your voice never leaves the computer. In a browser that recognises speech itself (Chrome, Edge, Safari) the recording goes to the browser maker's service – Google, Microsoft or Apple – under its own policy. The microphone is on only while its button is lit.

The demo at gulfoftrump.vercel.app runs without an AI and without sign-in. Its host, Vercel, keeps ordinary server logs such as IP addresses.

The game master's text is written by an AI as you play. If it is offensive, harmful or breaks the law, report it from the game (the flag button) or from Settings. Reports are public GitHub issues: copy the offending passage, not your personal details.

The game is not meant for children under 13, and it collects nothing about anyone's age.
