What we keep

Reading control schemes needs no account, and we keep nothing about you for it.

If you sign up, we keep your email address, the public name you chose, a hash of your password (the password itself is not something we can read) and the date the account was created. Signing in with Google or Facebook gives us your address and name from them, and we ask for nothing else.

After that we keep what you make: control schemes, starred games, and anything you send through the feedback forms.

What other people see

A published scheme is public, and your public name and a link to your author profile sit next to it. Your email address is shown to nobody but you and the curator.

Drafts are yours alone. So is your list of starred games.

Cookies

A session cookie keeps you signed in while you are here. A "remember me" cookie does the same for thirty days if you asked for it. Both are needed for the site to work at all.

One more cookie holds the starred-games list for visitors without an account. That is the one the banner asks about: decline it and the star simply does not work, and nothing else changes. Your answer to the banner is kept in a cookie too, otherwise we would have to ask every time.

Forms set a short-lived technical cookie that proves the data was sent from our own page.

There is no analytics, no advertising and no tracking on this site.

Third parties

Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a form is being filled in by a person. It does not profile visitors.

Google and Facebook, only if you choose to sign in with them.

Game artwork loads from Wikimedia Commons, so their server sees your request for the image.

Letters (address confirmation, password resets) go out through the mail service we configured; it sees the recipient and the text.

If you upload a screenshot of a control settings screen instead of typing the layout in by hand, that image is sent to OpenAI: their model is what reads it. We keep the file only until the recognition finishes and delete it right after. Do not upload screenshots that show anything beyond the controls.

How long it lives

Account data lives as long as the account. A password reset link lasts an hour and an address confirmation a day; once used, neither works again.

Server logs are kept briefly and exist only to find faults.

Your rights

You can close your account yourself from your profile. When you do, you choose what happens to your schemes: take them with you, or leave them on the site with your name removed. Everything else - address, name, starred games - is deleted.

For a copy of your data, or to correct something, write to us.

Your contributions

Schemes you publish become part of an open database under CC BY-SA, the same licence as the material the rest of the catalogue is built from. Publishing one is agreeing to that.
