Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 10, 2026

Approved Memories is an interactive work of fiction by Sloane Harrow. This policy describes how the site handles information when you read or play.

What we collect

Game progress on your device. Your choices, name, and unlock status are stored in your browser's localStorage so you can continue later. This data stays on your device unless you clear site data.

Purchase information (future). If you buy Acts II or III through Stripe, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers. We may receive a transaction ID and email (if provided) to validate unlock access.

Analytics. We record anonymous funnel events (e.g. Act I complete, paywall view, share click) via privacy-conscious beacons. No names or story choices are sent. Events may appear in our form dashboard when hosted on Netlify. Optional Plausible analytics can be enabled without cookies. No sale of personal data.

What we do not do

• We do not require an account to play Act I.
• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not use your story choices for advertising profiles.

Cookies & storage

The app uses browser storage (localStorage) for save data and may register a service worker for offline reading. No third-party advertising cookies are used at launch.

Children

This fiction is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Your choices

You can delete saved progress anytime via your browser's site settings (clear storage for this domain). Uninstalling or removing the PWA clears local data on that device.
