Last changed 10 November 2026After Dark (afterdark.town) is a site of short horror games built from invented local legends. This page says what it learns about you and what it does with it.
If you sign in with Google
We receive and keep your first name, your email address, your profile picture's address and your Google account number, with the dates you first and last signed in. We use them to know it is you when you come back. Against your account we also keep which legends you made or rewrote, which games you played, for how long and how far you got, and how many reels you recorded, saved or shared (the count only, never the reel). We do not post anything, read your contacts or see your password. A cookie called ad_s keeps you signed in on this browser for up to 180 days.
Where you are
On opening the site we guess your city from your internet address, through a lookup service (ipwho.is), to show legends near you. If you tap “Use my location”, your browser sends us your position for that search. We do not keep either one against your name.
Camera and microphone
Only when you tap the record button, to put your face and voice into your reel. The reel is made on your phone and stays there. It is never sent to us. It goes where you save or share it.
What you type and how you play
The place names you ask for, the legends you rewrite, scores you post and reports you send are kept. If you are not signed in, plays are counted without names. Your internet address is used for daily limits and is not stored with these; a report keeps a scrambled form of it so that one person cannot report the same legend many times.
Who else is involved
- Google: sign-in, maps and place photographs, and the Gemini models that write the legends, pictures and voices. The place you ask for is sent to them; your name and email are not.
- OpenStreetMap: the street layout of each game.
- Fly.io: hosts the site.
We do not sell your details and there is no advertising.
