Who runs Imagine This
Imagine This is a free party game run by the person who runs this website. You can reach us at the contact and report form.
What we collect, and why
| What | Why | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| The name you type | To show who's who in the game. It's checked by our word filter and by OpenAI's moderation service, to keep out offensive names. | Everyone in your game, and the TV screen |
| A selfie, if you choose to add one | So the AI can make you look like yourself when someone names you in a prompt or idea. | Everyone in your game; OpenAI |
| Reference photos, if you choose to add them | To guide the AI when it makes your picture. | OpenAI |
| What you write: picture ideas, captions, fake titles, descriptions and prompts | That's the game. They're sent to OpenAI to make pictures, and to write the announcer's jokes. | Everyone in your game; OpenAI |
| Your votes, reactions and score | To run the game and its scoreboard. | Everyone in your game (votes are shown after voting closes) |
| The AI pictures and announcer audio made in your game | To show them, and for the end-of-game gallery and highlight reel. | Everyone in your game, and anyone with your game's gallery link |
| A report you send us (what to remove, why, and optional contact details) | To remove the content and follow up if needed. | Only us |
| Technical data your browser sends, such as your IP address | Needed to deliver the website. We don't save it in logs. | Our server; Cloudflare, which delivers the online link |
We don't ask for your email, phone number, address, location or real full name, and we don't use cookies (see the Cookie Policy). We don't sell or share your information for advertising, and we don't use your photos for face recognition: no face scans or face templates are made. A selfie is only sent to OpenAI as a reference picture.
Companies that help run the game
- OpenAI makes the AI pictures, the AI-written prompts and announcer lines, the announcer's voice, and checks names for offensive words. It receives the text and photos needed for each of those. OpenAI handles that data under its own privacy policy and API terms. OpenAI says data sent through its API isn't used to train its models by default, and that it may keep it for a limited time to check for abuse.
- Cloudflare delivers the game's online link (it passes the website's traffic along). See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
We'd also share information if the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.
How long we keep it
- Games: names, photos, text, votes and pictures are deleted from our server about 2 hours after a game's last activity, including the gallery.
- If you leave a game, or the host removes you, your selfie is deleted right away. Pictures already in the game's gallery stay until the game is deleted.
- Reports are kept for up to a year, as a record that we handled them.
- OpenAI and Cloudflare keep data according to their own policies.
Children
Imagine This is for people 13 and older, and players under 18 need a parent's or guardian's permission. We ask your age range before you join, and we don't let anyone under 13 play. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you're a parent and think your child under 13 played, contact us at the contact and report form and we'll delete their information.
Your choices
- Adding a selfie or reference photos is optional.
- You can leave a game at any time with Leave game, and the host can remove any player.
- You can ask us to delete anything about you, or to remove a picture, with the report form or at the contact and report form.
- Your browser keeps a few settings for the game (see the Cookie Policy). You can clear them in your browser's settings.
Keeping it safe
We keep only what the game needs, for as short a time as we can, and we use reasonable care to protect it. No system is perfectly secure, though.
Note that when a game is joined through a home Wi-Fi address (one that starts with http://), the connection isn't encrypted; the online link (https://) is.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
