What we collect
Your account: a random account id, the @name made from your first character, and the email address and password you add if you choose to sign in. Passwords are stored only as a salted one-way hash; we cannot read them.
Your game: your characters (name, look, traits, dream), where they are, what they own and do, their game money and its history, and the record of the actions you take, which we keep so the game stays fair and we can fix problems.
What you say to people: your direct messages, the people you greet or block, house visits, and any reports you send or that are made about you. When our filter stops a message, we keep the attempt in a moderation log; a report keeps a copy of the text that was reported.
Security information: when you sign in we store a keyed fingerprint of your IP address (never the address itself) and your browser type, to stop abuse such as mass account creation and to keep your account safe.
We do not ask for your real name, phone number, location or payment details, and the game has no advertising or tracking.
Why we use it
To run the game you asked to play: saving your life, letting you sign in on another device, delivering messages and showing other players your character.
To keep players safe and the game fair: screening and moderating messages, handling reports, stopping cheating and abuse.
To send you sign-in codes and security emails when you ask for them. We do not send marketing.
To keep the game working: finding and fixing bugs and keeping the servers secure.
We rely on providing the service you asked for, on our legitimate interest in a safe and fair game, and, where the law requires it, on meeting legal obligations.
Cookies
One cookie keeps you signed in (agege_sid). It is essential, cannot be read by scripts on the page, and expires after a year without a visit. The game also saves a few preferences, such as alert settings, in your browser. There are no advertising or analytics cookies.
Who else sees it
Other players see your @name, your character and its look, the venue you are in, the messages you send them and, when you invite them, your home.
Service providers process data for us under contract: Cloudflare (hosting the game and site, and routing our email), our database provider, and our email provider for sign-in codes. They may not use it for anything else.
We share information with authorities only when the law requires it, or when it is needed to protect someone from serious harm.
We never sell your information.
Where it is kept
Our providers run servers in several countries, so your information may be stored or processed outside Nigeria. When it is, we use providers that protect it to standards that meet Nigerian and European data protection law.
How long we keep it
Your account and game for as long as the account exists. A sign-in session stops working after a year without a visit, and sign-in codes after 10 minutes.
When you delete your account we immediately remove your @name, your email address and password, your characters’ names and looks, your messages, friendships, blocks and house visits, and sign you out everywhere. Records of game money stay without anything that identifies you, so the game’s books still balance; reports, the moderation log and copies of reported messages stay with the moderators so past abuse can still be dealt with.
Your rights
You can ask to see the information we hold about you, have it corrected, have it deleted, object to how we use it, or receive a copy in a portable form. Deleting your account is available straight away in Phone → Settings; for anything else, write to us and we will answer within 30 days.
If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, or to the data protection authority where you live.
Under 18s
Agege Life is only for adults. We do not knowingly keep information about anyone under 18; if we learn an account belongs to a child, we delete it.
Security
Everything travels encrypted. Passwords and sign-in codes are stored only as hashes, IP addresses only as keyed fingerprints, and access to player data is limited to the staff who moderate and support the game.
Changes and contact
If we change this policy we will update the date above, and tell you in the game before a change that matters takes effect. Questions or requests: [email protected].
