Privacy policy

Last updated 7 October 2026.

This policy explains what World Order (“we”, “the game”) collects when you visit this site or play, why, and the choices you have. We collect as little as the game needs to work.

What we collect

Your account

You sign in with your email address. We send a one-time sign-in code to it and keep the address to identify your account. We don't ask for your name, phone number or payment details.

What you do in the game

The game stores your actions in each World you join: orders, deals, alliances, messages to other players and anything you publish in the Gazette. Other players in the same World see what the rules let them see, such as your country's public moves and the messages you send them. What you publish in the Gazette is public to everyone in that World.

Usage events

To balance and improve the game, we record game events such as a deal being proposed, a battle starting or a screen being opened, linked to your account and the World. These records stay in our own database and are not sold or shared with advertisers.

Alerts

If you turn on alerts, your browser gives us a push subscription, an address its push service uses to deliver notifications to your device. We use it only to send game alerts, and turning alerts off switches it off.

On your device

The app keeps your sign-in session and a few display preferences, such as which map layers are on and which tips you've seen, in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device.

Advertising and cookies

World Order may show ads in the Gazette, and only there. Those ads are served by Google AdSense, and Google's ad script loads only when you open the Gazette.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you'll be asked for your consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time.

World Order itself sets no advertising or tracking cookies.

Who processes your data

• Supabase hosts our database and sign-in, and runs the game's rules.
• Vercel hosts the website and app.
• Google serves Gazette ads (AdSense) and the site's fonts (Google Fonts), and so receives your IP address and browser details when those load.
• Your browser's push service (from Google, Apple or Mozilla, for example) delivers alerts you have turned on.

We don't sell your personal information to anyone.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and your game history while your account exists, so finished Worlds, results and records stay accurate for everyone who played in them. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your email address and sign-in. Your past moves stay in finished Worlds under your country's name, without anything that identifies you.

Your choices and rights

• You can turn alerts off at any time in the game or in your browser settings.
• You can block or clear cookies and local storage in your browser. The game still works, but you will need to sign in again.
• You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete your account. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA, including the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Children

World Order isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us their details, contact us and we'll delete them.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be announced in the game.
