JACL is interactive fiction created by Stuart Allen: the JACL app for iPad and this website (jacl.dangarmarine.com.au). The two are independent — this page explains what each one does and does not do with your information. In short: the app collects nothing, and the website keeps only the minimum needed to run.
The JACL app for iPad
The app collects no personal information whatsoever, and it has no accounts or sign-in of any kind. It does not use Sign in with Google, Sign in with Apple, or any other login service — there is simply nothing to sign in to. It shows no advertising, contains no analytics or tracking, and makes no network connections. Everything happens on your iPad:
- The games you play, the games you import, and your saved games are stored only on your device.
- Nothing you type or do in the app is transmitted anywhere or seen by us.
- Files you open in the app stay on your device.
Because the app collects no data, there is nothing for us to share, sell, or lose. You can download and play games entirely offline, without ever visiting the website.
This website
The website is separate from the app and is not required to use it. When you visit jacl.dangarmarine.com.au:
- Browsing (these pages, the Guide, game downloads): like almost every website, the server keeps standard access logs — your IP address, browser type, and the pages or files requested, with a timestamp. These are used only to operate and secure the site. They are not used for advertising and are not sold or shared.
- Playing a game in your browser: the game runs on the server, which may keep a temporary saved-game file for your session so you can pick up where you left off.
- Optional Google Sign-In (website only): some games on the website let you sign in with Google so your browser saved-games are remembered between visits. This is a feature of the website's online player only — it is not part of the iPad app. If, and only if, you choose to sign in, Google provides the site with your basic account identifier so it can recognise you, and the site stores a
jacl_sessioncookie in your browser to keep you signed in. It is used solely to associate your saved games with you. You can sign out at any time to clear it, and you can always play without signing in.
The website uses no third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
Children
Neither the app nor the website is directed at children, and the app collects no information from anyone, children included.
