Privacy policy
1 in 8 Billion has no accounts and is built not to ask for names or contact details. This page sets out everything we do handle, why, and where it is kept.
Effective: November 4, 2026
1. What we handle, why, how and for how long
Life records (the life you are living, the list of past lives and the full record of every past life (the latest 10 in the classroom edition), your notes, settings, recent problems on this device (where a script error happened, a save, opening, payment check, memorial, video or move that did not work with a short code for why, the version and the time; 30 days, up to 12), the time crisis words were seen (for 30 days after it, no life on this device ends by or meets a suicide))
- Purpose
- Continuing a life, reopening past lives, reporting a problem
- How it is kept
- On your device (browser storage). If you have a keepsake pass, a copy of that browser's records is also kept on our server while "Keep my past lives on the server too" is on (it is on from the start and can be turned off; see "Keeping past lives on the server" below). Recent problems are never sent by themselves; they go along only when you send feedback or write to us with "Report a problem". Part of a life reaches our server only when you choose: when you share it (shared lives) or make a share link (the country, age and sex in the simulation, or, when you share “The life I wish for” or a life’s grain, its name, are in the link), or move your lives to another browser or phone (see "Moving my lives" below), or put up a memorial or carry a life with your keepsake pass (see the keepsake rows below)
- How long
- Until you clear the site data in your browser (some browsers, such as Safari, clear data of sites not visited for a while on their own)
Anonymous usage statistics: kinds of screens and actions (a life begins or ends, etc.) with details from the simulation (birth country, the country lived in now after a move abroad, age, auto mode, speed, the world chosen: past, today or future, and for a past world the decade of birth; when a life ends, the "today's theme" of the day it began and whether the life met it), how you arrived (link source, in-app browser type), device type and screen width, country of access (a country code derived from the connection; the address itself is not kept), a random number made fresh for each tab, whether a visit is the first time this browser opens the site
- Purpose
- Understanding use, finding errors, managing server costs, the "living now" map on the first screen, other people's lanterns in the night sky of the Village of Past Lives
- How it is kept
- Stored as hourly totals. Whether a visit is a first one is known only from a mark left in this browser (one8b.seen.v1, with nothing else in it), and the server keeps only whether it was, in hourly totals like the other statistics. It is to tell new visitors from returning ones in understanding how the site is used. The random number and the tab's current state are used only for the "online now" view and change on reload. A visible tab sends its signal every 9 minutes, to cut server requests, and a page left untouched for over 20 minutes sends none. No cookies, advertising IDs or IP addresses are stored. When you send up a lantern in the Village of Past Lives, only its time is kept, in the server's memory for up to 30 minutes, and shown as light alone in other people's night skies; the words, whom it was for and the random number are not kept with it
- How long
- Totals that cannot identify anyone; the "online now" view (random number included) forgets a tab within 10 minutes of its last signal
Script error reports: version, screen, where the error happened and a short fingerprint (no error text, no address)
- Purpose
- Fixing errors
- How it is kept
- Hourly totals
- How long
- As above
Shared lives (optional): the simulation's story of that life (its name, country, age, sex and the four numbers of its grain), your words (up to 300 characters), language, time posted, "remember" and report counts, a random key for deleting your post (also kept on your device)
- Purpose
- Sharing lives with others; quoting them, without saying who wrote them, in posts introducing 1 in 8 Billion (social media and the like)
- How it is kept
- Public. Contacts, links, anything that looks like a school or an address, and insults are filtered out automatically, but no filter catches everything, so please leave out real names and anything that could identify you. To prevent abuse, the tab's random number is used briefly in server memory only
- How long
- Deleted at once when you delete it; a post hidden by reports or by us is kept so we can decide whether to restore it, until you delete it or ask us to
Moving my lives (optional): the life records in this browser (the list of past lives, the full record of every past life, the life in progress, your notes and farewells), the numbers and take-down keys of memorials put up from this device, the "country you were really born in" you chose, and whether this browser has a keepsake pass (the pass key is not sent)
- Purpose
- Moving your lives to another app's browser or a new phone (instead of a login)
- How it is kept
- Kept briefly on our server under a random code that works once. Nothing that says whose records they are (an account, an email, an IP address) is stored with them. Anyone holding the code can take them, so do not send it to anyone else
- How long
- Deleted as soon as they are taken, or after 3 days
Keeping past lives on the server (keepsakes, on from the start, can be turned off): the life records of a browser where it is on (what "Moving my lives" carries: the list of past lives, the full record of the lives you can see again, the life in progress, your notes and farewells, the numbers and take-down keys of memorials put up from that device, and the "country you were really born in" you chose)
- Purpose
- Bringing them back by opening the pass again after the browser's data is cleared, or in another browser
- How it is kept
- If you have a keepsake pass and "Keep my past lives on the server too" is on in a browser, that browser's records are compressed and kept on our server (Cloudflare). It is on from the start when you buy a pass, and you can turn it off at any time. Only the latest copy of each browser is kept (up to three browsers a pass), under the pass's hash and a random number each browser makes, and it is replaced when a life ends and about every 10 minutes during one. No email or IP address is stored with it. Nothing is sent while it is off
- How long
- Kept while you have the pass; deleted at once when you turn it off or the pass is refunded (from the copies kept against failures within 30 days, see section 5)
1in8b Engine API (for developers, optional): the number of calls by kind of answer, and how many of them came from the try page. With a key (given from November 1, 2026): the key's hash, its plan, when it was made, the month's use, and the hash of the email address it was sent to (one key an address), and for each key the month's counts of calls by kind and option (to stop misuse); the address hash of a key turned off for misuse; with a paid plan, its Stripe subscription number (kept with the key) and, until its key is shown, the number of the checkout it was paid at; for a plan given free for public-interest use, the address hash and the day it ends; with an AI app connected (MCP), the hashes of that connection's sign-in code and tokens (with the key's hash, the hash of the app's id and the address the app goes back to)
- Purpose
- Giving and checking API keys, preventing abuse and keeping server costs in check, checking a key's monthly limit, starting and ending paid plans, giving plans free for public-interest use, connecting AI apps (MCP)
- How it is kept
- Calls are stored only as hourly totals, without who made them. A key is sent by our server as a reply when you write to api@1in8b.life, and that email is also forwarded to the operator's Gmail, as in the Email row below. Our server (Cloudflare) keeps the key and the email address only as irreversible hashes, never the key itself, the address or a name. How many calls may be made in a minute is counted by Cloudflare for that minute only; the operator stores nothing of it. For each key we also count, for the month, how many calls of each kind and with which options (lines the site keeps on the device, conditions about who a person is, and so on) it made, so the operator can turn off a key that seems to be used against the terms; an address whose key was turned off for that gets no new key. A paid plan is a monthly subscription bought from Link, run by Stripe, as in the Stripe row below; payment details go only to Stripe. Its key is shown once on the page you come back to after paying, and the server keeps only its hash, as above. A free public-interest plan is asked for at contact@1in8b.life and decided by the operator; the server keeps only the address hash and the day it ends. An AI app (for example Claude) connects when you paste your key once on our connection page; the key is checked and not kept. The app gets tokens that act for that key; what you ask the app is handled by its provider under its own terms, and our server gets only the engine calls
- How long
- Totals are kept in a form that identifies no one · a key's record is deleted at once when the key is turned off (by writing again with "stop" in the subject, or on request; from the copies kept against failures within 30 days, see section 5) · the address hash of a key turned off for misuse is kept, so no new key is sent to it · a paid plan's subscription number while the subscription runs; when it ends, the key goes back to the free plan and the number is deleted · a checkout's number 3 days after paying · a free public-interest plan's record when it ends (after a year) or when its key is turned off · an AI app connection's sign-in code within 5 minutes, its access token after an hour, its refresh token when used or after 90 days, and all of a key's connections when the key is turned off or replaced
Village links (optional, from November 6, 2026): when you press 'Share the village' under 'See as a village' in My past lives, that village as it is (for each resident, the name, country, birth year, age and sex in the simulation, its look (skin tone, clothes, pet), its house's style and place; the village's name and what is put out in it), the page's language, when it was made and last opened, and the hash of a random number this browser makes
- Purpose
- Letting others walk into the village through a link; one link a browser, to update and to delete
- How it is kept
- Anyone with the link can see it (it does not show in search; only a village whose ‘Show in Browse villages’ is on appears, in random order, in the Browse villages list, leaves it at once when that is turned off or the link is deleted, and the number of reports it got there is kept). No life's story, moments, faith or cause of death is sent. Contact details, insults and the like are filtered out of the village's name automatically. To prevent abuse, the connection address is turned into that day's hash and used only briefly in server memory
- How long
- Deleted at once when you press 'Delete the link' · deleted when nobody has opened it for 400 days · deleted on request (from the copies kept against failures within 30 days, see section 5)
Feedback (optional): kind of feedback, your text, play details (version and language, the birth country in the simulation, sex, family income group, age, cause of death, country of residence and job, the world chosen (with the birth year for the past), number of decisions, the current screen, device type and screen width, recent problems on this device as short codes), a nickname (optional)
- Purpose
- Fixing errors and improving the service
- How it is kept
- Sent through Google Forms and kept in Google Sheets. The operator reads and sorts feedback with the AI assistant Claude (Anthropic) and reproduces the problems it describes to fix them (see section 3)
- How long
- Deleted within a year after it is handled; quotes and summaries in the development records of what was fixed follow the GitHub row in section 3
Email (optional): your email address and message
- Purpose
- Replying, handling payments, refunds and problems
- How it is kept
- Mail to 1in8b.life addresses is forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to the operator's Gmail (Google) and kept there. If you write through "Report a problem", the version, device type and screen width, the state of your current life, recent problems on this device and (if you have a pass) its check code are filled into the message, and you can read and delete them before sending. From October 18, 2026, the operator reads and sorts these emails with the AI assistant Claude (Anthropic), checks the related payment records and drafts replies; the operator checks every reply before sending it and never leaves a decision such as a refund to the AI (see section 3). As it forwards mail to customerservice@, the server reads the subject and the start of the message and turns the sender's address and up to three addresses written in the message, with the forms they are likely to have been mistyped as at checkout (such as .con for .com), into irreversible hashes to find a keepsake payment. If the email asks about a refund, comes from an address that bought a keepsake pass (unless it was refunded), or seems to come from someone who paid with a mistyped form of their address, it sends the operator's Gmail one more email through Cloudflare's email sending, with the sender's name and address, the subject, the start of the message (up to 1,500 characters), the payment found (date and amount), that pass's purchases, refunds and memorials, what got in the way of its memorials in the last 30 days (see Keepsake pass below) and a draft reply. If an email from the very address that paid clearly asks for a refund within 30 days of payment, the server asks Stripe to refund that payment (sending only the payment number) and replies to the sender. The server never decides against a refund; the operator does. The server does not store the addresses or the message
- How long
- Deleted within a year after it is handled; payment and refund questions may be kept up to 3 years in case of disputes; quotes and summaries in the development records of what was fixed follow the GitHub row in section 3
Past support (closed on October 8, 2026): the supporter's name (or username) and email address Ko-fi shared with us
- Purpose
- Saying thank you (including opening a Keepsake pass as a thank-you)
- How it is kept
- Payment details were handled by Ko-fi and its payment providers; we never received them. Nothing new is collected
- How long
- In our Ko-fi account (under Ko-fi's policy) · deleted on request
Keepsake pass (optional): the payment notice Stripe sends us when a payment is done (email address, payment numbers, amount, and the name and billing country or address entered at checkout; of these we keep only the email hash, the payment numbers and the amount), the email you type to open the pass on another device, when the pass was first used, a pass key (kept on your device), what you put in a memorial (the language of the page it was put up on (for a Chinese page, also which of the two pages, Simplified or Traditional; each page shows its own list of memorials), the name, country, age and sex in the simulation, the scenes and words of the last moments, your notes and farewell, the cover picture you chose, how you dressed it (the mood, frames, flowers and the moments shown), its title and opening and closing words, captions you rewrote, the list of things that life had, up to three of the statistics about the world that life met, the words and scenes of up to three days given to it (unlived wishes), and the grain of that life: how far it leaned within four pairs of words, the nearest name, a turn with age, and whether it was pushed to leave home) and a random key for taking it down (also kept on your device), what got in the way when putting up or changing a memorial (when, why, how many lines were left out, the version), candle and report counts, the fixed words visitors chose and when (never who left them). The device that made a memorial sends its number when the first screen opens, to fetch news of new candles and words (the numbers sent are not stored). So that its maker can change a memorial on any device, a device with the pass, or the device that made a memorial, sends the pass key or the memorial numbers and take-down keys it kept to fetch the memorials its maker put up (nothing new is stored). The House of Past Lives: how each room is decorated, the house name and whether it is open, a random number used in the house's address, and whether it shows in Browse villages with the number of reports it got there (from November 6, 2026). Decoration packs: the packs bought, their payment numbers and amounts, when they were bought and whether refunded (a pack sends the pass's hash to the checkout with it, so it joins that pass whatever email is used)
- Purpose
- Issuing and checking passes, refunds, running memorials, finding out why a memorial could not go up and answering questions about it, the House of Past Lives
- How it is kept
- Our server does not store email addresses: they are turned into a one-way hash and compared (payment records, email included, stay with Link and in the operator's Stripe account under Stripe's policies). Payment numbers are used only to avoid issuing a pass twice and to handle refunds. We never receive card or other payment details. Memorials are public (so are houses and rooms their makers open; from November 6, 2026, an open house appears in the Browse villages list only while its ‘Show in Browse villages’ is on). Films, albums and record books are made on your device and never sent to us. From October 18, 2026, what got in the way when putting up or changing a memorial is kept with the pass's hash, and when the address that bought the pass writes to customer service, it is added to the note the operator gets. Lines of the simulation that our filter left out are kept apart, with the life's and the pet's names hidden and nothing about whose they were, and mailed to the operator by the hourly check
- How long
- Hashes, payment numbers and amounts, and purchase counts for as long as the service runs, so your pass keeps working; a memorial taken down from the device that made it is deleted at once, one we took down is kept so we can decide whether to restore it; what got in the way of memorials after 30 days, lines left out after 7 days; deleted on request
Devices opened by email (keepsakes): a random device number the browser makes for itself when you open the pass by typing the email you paid with
- Purpose
- To check that one pass opens by email on no more than 5 devices in 30 days, so it is not shared among many people
- How it is kept
- Kept on our server with the email hash; it holds nothing that identifies a person or a device
- How long
- Deleted 30 days after that device last opened the pass by email · deleted on request
Carrying a life to another browser (keepsakes, optional): the whole record of that life (life record and your notes)
- Purpose
- Moving a life from an in-app browser such as KakaoTalk or Threads to Safari or Chrome
- How it is kept
- Kept briefly on our server under a random address that opens once; the browser that opens it gets the pass too (a browser holding another pass cannot open it)
- How long
- Deleted as soon as it is taken, or after 3 days
Reading the books: where you were in each book, the chapters read, and the reading settings (text size, font, background, line spacing, reading-aloud speed)
- Purpose
- Picking up where you left off, and a page that is comfortable to read
- How it is kept
- Kept only on your device (browser storage) and never sent to our server. Listen uses only the voices on your device, so the text never leaves it
- How long
- Until you clear the site data in your browser
The Workshop (optional): the payment notice Stripe sends us when a payment is done (email address, payment numbers, amount, and the name and billing country or address entered at checkout; of these we keep only the email hash, the payment numbers and the amount), the email you type to open it on another device, a random device number the browser makes for itself when you open it by email, a reading key (kept on your device)
- Purpose
- Letting the buyer read The Workshop, refunds, and checking that one purchase opens by email on no more than 5 devices in 30 days, so it is not shared among many people
- How it is kept
- Our server does not store email addresses: they are turned into a one-way hash and compared (payment records, email included, stay with Link and in the operator's Stripe account under Stripe's policies). We never receive card or other payment details
- How long
- Hashes, payment numbers and amounts for as long as the service runs, so the book stays readable; a device number is deleted 30 days after that device last opened it · deleted on request
Cloudflare, which serves the site, may process connection data such as IP addresses for delivery and security; we do not store or view it. Fonts are served from our own domain, so opening the page sends nothing to other companies.
Legal bases (where the GDPR applies): our legitimate interest in running, securing and improving the service (anonymous statistics, error reports); your choice to use an optional feature (shared lives, feedback, email, past support, keepsakes).
2. Sharing
We do not give personal information to third parties, except when required by law through due process.
3. Service providers and international transfers
We use the services below, and information moves to their countries in the process. They protect transfers under their own safeguards (such as the Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses).
Cloudflare, Inc.
USA (data centers worldwide) · privacyquestions@cloudflare.com
- Information
- Anonymous statistics, error reports, shared lives, lives being moved, API key and address hashes and use, subscription numbers of paid plans, shared villages, keepsake hashes and memorials, life records kept on the server, email (forwarded; mail to customerservice@ is read to find the payment and write the summary, and not stored), connection data (such as IP addresses, which we do not store or view), hashes of purchases of The Workshop
- Purpose
- Hosting the website and server, forwarding mail, sorting customer email, backups against failures (section 5)
- When and how
- Over the network whenever you use the site
- How long
- As listed above
Google LLC
USA · support.google.com/policies
- Information
- Feedback, email (Gmail)
- Purpose
- Receiving and keeping feedback and email
- When and how
- When you submit the form or send an email
- How long
- As listed above
Anthropic, PBC
USA · privacy@anthropic.com
- Information
- Feedback, email (the sender's name and address, subject, message and attached images), keepsake payment records related to the email (email address, date and amount, whether refunded), payment records of The Workshop related to the email (email address, date and amount, whether refunded)
- Purpose
- The operator uses the AI assistant Claude to read and sort feedback and email, reproduce and fix the problems they describe and draft replies, and to check payments and refunds. The operator checks every reply and sends it by hand
- When and how
- Over the network when the operator handles feedback or email (email from October 18, 2026)
- How long
- Under Anthropic's policy; the operator keeps these conversations set not to be used to train Claude (model improvement)
GitHub, Inc. (Microsoft)
USA · github.com/site/privacy
- Information
- The parts of feedback and email needed to record what was fixed (quotes or summaries, details from the simulation). Nothing that identifies the sender, such as a nickname, an email address or a name, is copied
- Purpose
- Keeping the service's source code and development records (a private repository)
- When and how
- When the operator fixes the service in response to feedback or email
- How long
- As development records, for as long as the service runs; removed on request
Ko-fi Labs Limited
United Kingdom · help.ko-fi.com
- Information
- What you entered on Ko-fi when you gave, until October 8, 2026
- Purpose
- Support payments (closed)
- When and how
- When you gave on Ko-fi
- How long
- Under Ko-fi's policy
Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (including Link)
USA and elsewhere · stripe.com/privacy · payment help: support.link.com
- Information
- What you enter at checkout when you buy a keepsake pass (once paid, our server receives a payment notice, see section 1), and the payment number our server sends when it refunds, when buying a decoration pack, the pass's hash that goes to the checkout with it, and what you enter at checkout when you buy The Workshop
- Purpose
- Selling the pass and the paid plans of the 1in8b Engine (a monthly subscription; once paid, our server receives its subscription and checkout numbers). Link, run by Stripe, is the merchant of record: it handles payment, taxes, receipts and payment questions, and processes this information under its own policy. The operator can see payment records (email included) in the Stripe account. The Workshop (a book) is sold the same way
- When and how
- When you pay
- How long
- Under Stripe's and Link's policies
Alipay (Ant Group)
China · only when paying from mainland China · global.alipay.com
- Information
- What you enter or confirm in Alipay when you pay with Alipay from mainland China (our server receives only the payment notice, through Stripe)
- Purpose
- Payment from mainland China, where Link is not available: the keepsake pass, decoration packs and The Workshop are paid with Alipay through Stripe; for these sales the operator is the seller and handles payment, taxes, receipts, refunds and payment questions. Alipay and Stripe process this information under their own policies
- When and how
- When you pay from mainland China
- How long
- Under Alipay's and Stripe's policies
To avoid these transfers: shared lives, feedback and email and keepsakes are optional. To turn off anonymous statistics too, enable "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control in your browser; the site then sends no statistics signals (the first-screen map may show no other lives). Everything else works the same.
4. Children and teenagers
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14 (16 in some countries). Please do not write names, contact details, schools or where you live in shared lives or feedback; we try to filter such details out automatically, though no filter catches everything, and if we learn that a child's personal information has reached us, we delete it. Under the terms of Link, the seller, the keepsake pass must be paid for by an adult; minors should ask a parent or guardian to pay. If a minor paid without a parent or guardian's permission, write to customerservice@1in8b.life for a refund.
For parents and guardians. 1 in 8 Billion is a life simulation made for ages 15 and up. It lives one person's life by real statistics, so death, illness, war and poverty, drinking, smoking, gambling, prison, violence at home, early marriage and births in the teens happen as they do in reality, and a past world tells of real history such as wars and mass killings. Drug dependence in adult lives, and sexual violence from age 15, also happen as often as the real statistics say, never shown in detail or how, always with where to find help, and never on shared cards or memorials (suicide happens from the teenage years on, as often as the real statistics say, never showing how or why, never named on shared cards or memorials, and always with where to find help). Players cannot talk to or contact each other, there are no ads, and paying never changes a life in the simulation. For players under 15, consider trying it together; questions are welcome at contact@1in8b.life.
Classroom mode. Teachers who want to use it in class can open classroom mode from 'Open in classroom mode' at the bottom of the first screen. A browser opened that way holds back content by our own guideline of ages 12 and up (no suicide, no violence or physical punishment at home, no drug dependence or sexual violence, no assisted dying in the family, no choosing to drink, smoke, gamble or commit a crime, and only today's world), and turns off shared lives, feedback, problem reports, moving records, keepsakes and memorials. So in classroom mode no names, contact details or pupils' words reach our server, and what is written in the pauses and parting words stays on the device. Only anonymous statistics that identify no one are sent, and not even those if the browser has "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control turned on. That classroom mode is on is kept in that browser only.
5. Deletion
Information is deleted without delay once its period ends or its purpose is met, in a way that cannot be recovered.
Copies against failures. So that nothing is lost to a failure or a mistake, the server's records (keepsake payments and passes, memorials, shared lives, anonymous statistics and operating records) have copies. Cloudflare, which runs the server, keeps 30 days of changes so the server can go back to a point within them; once a day we copy the records to storage inside the same Cloudflare account and keep each copy for 14 days; and we may download a copy from the admin page and keep it encrypted (deleted after 30 days). So a post or memorial you delete or take down is gone from the site and the server at once, and from the copies within 30 days. Copies are used only to bring back records lost to a failure or a mistake.
6. Your rights
- You can ask to see, correct or delete your personal information, or to stop or object to its processing: write to privacy@1in8b.life. We reply within 10 days.
- You can delete a shared life yourself from the device you posted it on. A memorial can be taken down from the device that made it. What you delete is gone at once (from the copies kept against failures within 30 days, see section 5).
- Life records on your device disappear when you clear the site data in your browser.
- Anonymous statistics are totals that cannot identify anyone, so one person's part cannot be singled out.
- You may also complain to your data protection authority.
- If you are in Brazil, you have the rights of Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD), exercised the same way: confirmation that we process your data, access, correction, anonymization or deletion, portability, information on whom it is shared with, and withdrawing consent. You may also complain to Brazil's data protection authority (ANPD).
7. Cookies and similar technology
We set no cookies (Cloudflare, which delivers the site, may set a strictly necessary security cookie, and the checkout uses cookies under Stripe's policy). Life records and settings are kept in browser storage (localStorage, and IndexedDB for the full records of past lives with a keepsake pass) and leave your device only when you share or carry a life, as set out in section 1. While "Keep my past lives on the server too" is on in the keepsakes (it is from the start), a copy of that browser's records is also kept on our server (section 1). You can block or clear site data in your browser settings; continuing a life and past lives then will not work.
8. Security
All connections are encrypted (HTTPS), we handle only what is needed, IP addresses are not stored, the admin page needs a secret key, and a content security policy blocks outside scripts. Our server handles email addresses only as hashes.
9. Contact
Privacy officer: Jin’s Earth · privacy@1in8b.life
- General questions: contact@1in8b.life
- Payments, refunds (how refunds work) and problems while playing: customerservice@1in8b.life
- Bugs and ideas: 'Send feedback' on the first screen
10. Changes
If this policy changes, we announce it on this page and in the update notes that day, and changes that work against you, such as handling more information or sharing it with more providers, at least 7 days before.
Coming change (from November 10, 2026): a shared life will also store the year that life was born in the simulation, and show it beside its age, public like the rest of the post (the "Shared lives" row in section 1). Lives shared before then have no year.
Coming change (from November 4, 2026): keepsake passes bought before October 28, 2026, 5 p.m. Korea time also have "Keep my past lives on the server too" turned on by itself, so that browser's records are kept on our server too (the "Keeping past lives on the server" row in section 1). If you turned it off or pressed "Keep it off" before then, it stays off; once it is on you can turn it off at any time, and turning it off deletes what is kept on the server at once.
Recent changes (October 8, 2026): we now describe the end of Ko-fi support and what we keep from past supporters, the House of Past Lives, and how the server reads mail to customerservice@ to find a payment and send the operator a summary.
