Privacy
Every company we use
This is the complete list of outside companies this site can touch — kept complete by a check that runs on every release, so it cannot quietly fall behind the code. The short version lives on our privacy page; this is the long one, for anyone who wants to check us.
Each company does a single job and gets only what that job needs. We can vouch for what leaves our servers, never for the inside of another company, so we name every provider on this page instead of promising on their behalf.
The network itself
Join, post, message, pay, use your AI — and these are the only companies involved.
Stripe
PaymentsCard details, which never touch our servers, plus a receipt email and any name you type.
Anthropic
Your own AI, and most chatAI conversations, and for your own AI the picture of you it works from, under your handle.
Supabase
Our databaseWhere member data lives.
Vercel
HostingServes the site, and counts visits — counts, not profiles.
Twilio
Sign-in codes, and texts you asked forYour phone number. STOP stops it there and here in the same moment.
Resend
EmailThe address, and what the email says.
Only when you play, search, shop or meet
These come in only when you do the thing that needs them. Mostly that means our servers reach them; where it means a link we hand you instead, the row says so.
Printful
Merch fulfilmentThe shipping name and address you give Stripe. It passes through us without being kept.
Amazon and Bookshop.org
Shop and book linksFollow one and that store sees its own search and pays us a commission. Neither learns you are a member.
A question you asked — when you pick them to answer it, or automatically if our own engine stalls. The question, not you. For contacts you sign in at Google yourself, and the permission goes back when the window shuts.
Jitsi
A room, when a gathering happens on a screenOnly if a host taps “Make me a room” instead of pasting their own Zoom or Meet link. The room sits on Jitsi’s free public service rather than ours: we never call them, it is you and your guests who open it, and whoever arrives first is its moderator. AGP is not in the call.
OpenAI
Web lookups, and mark artA question you asked — when you pick them to answer it, or automatically if our own engine stalls. The question, not you. And the words you type to describe a picture you’re drawing.
Who runs inside your browser
These load onto the page you're already on, so they see you the way any site does: your IP address, and whatever they already had on your device. We can't stand in the middle of that, so we name it instead. It happens when you play or open something, not on a page you're only reading.
YouTube (Google)
How most music playsIts player runs on the page, so YouTube sees your address and the video, with Google’s cookies if you’re signed in anywhere. A mixtape to a non-member uses their no-cookie host.
Apple Music
Music playback, if you pick itApple’s player loads here and you sign in to your own account; that never comes to us. Album covers too.
Spotify
Music playback, only if you connect itNothing runs until you connect it. Then its player talks to Spotify with a key kept in your browser, never reaching us.
JustWatch
Show and film postersPosters load straight from JustWatch. The search words go through us.
The Art Institute of Chicago, and flagcdn
Pictures in two of the gamesPaintings and flags load into your browser. Nothing else is told to them.
