DRAFT. This page is a working draft for review. It is not final and has not had legal review.
Draft of September 2026
To make your dossier we ask for a first name, a form of address, confirmation that you are 18 or over, and your answers to ten questions.
Until you summon a witness, none of this is sent to us. It is kept in your browser's local storage on this device, so your dossier is still there if you refresh the page.
When you choose "Summon a witness", we store your dossier so that the people you invite can find it. We keep your first name, your form of address, your ten answers, and the House, title and reputation they produce.
We also keep two one-way codes that cannot be turned back into anything readable. One proves the dossier is yours, using a key kept only in your browser. The other is made from your network address and browser type mixed with a secret value, and is used only to limit how many dossiers one person can create in an hour. We do not store your network address itself.
We note when your dossier was created and when you last viewed it.
A witness gives a first name, confirms they are 18 or over, and answers three multiple choice questions. There is nowhere to write anything else.
We store the first name, the three answers and the time. The person you testify about sees your first name. Your answers are only ever shown to them combined with other witnesses, as the Society's Verdict.
We also keep a one-way code made from your network address and browser type mixed with a secret value. It is never shown to anyone. It is used only to stop one person testifying about the same dossier more than once, and to limit how much one person can testify in an hour.
When you rule on today's case we store the date, which suspect you accused, whether you were right, your House if you have a dossier on this device (never your name), and a link to your stored dossier if you have summoned witnesses.
We also keep a one-way code made from your network address and browser type mixed with a secret value. It is used only to allow one ruling per person per case, and is never shown to anyone. We record whether the Turnstile check passed, and nothing else about it. Archive cases are played on your device and never sent to us.
The Season shows only percentages worked out from everyone's rulings together. Your streak is kept on this device, and for a stored dossier it is also worked out from your rulings.
Stored dossiers and testimonies are held in a database run by our database provider, Supabase. Only the site's own server can read or change them.
Your card image is drawn in your browser. If you save it or share it, where it goes after that is your choice and is governed by the app or site you share it with.
Regency Noir is being built. The front page offers one field, where you may leave an email address to be told when it opens. Nothing else on the site asks for one, and you can play without ever giving one.
If you leave an address we store that address, the time you left it, and which page it came from. Nothing else: no name, no cookie for it, no profile, and it is never sold, shared or used for anything but writing to you once when the Society opens.
We keep it until it has been used for that, or until you ask for it to be removed, whichever comes first. If the game is abandoned we delete the list.
To be removed, write to regencynoir@gmail.com from the address you gave, or naming it, and we will delete it.
The field is checked by Cloudflare Turnstile, which is described under "Checking that you are a person".
Two places on the site ask Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a person and not a machine is at the keyboard: the waitlist field on the front page, and the moment you rule on the Daily Case. The one on the waitlist is visible. The one on the ruling is invisible and never asks you for anything.
To make that check, Cloudflare processes your IP address and details about your browser. It does not use this to follow you around other sites. What Cloudflare does with it is set out in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum, linked below.
The check on the ruling decides nothing. We record only whether it passed, so that we can tell later how much of a Season's turnout was real. A ruling is never refused, delayed or altered by the result, so a check that fails, or never runs at all, costs you nothing.
Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy AddendumWe have no accounts, no passwords and no payments. We do not currently use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. The only email address we hold is one you have typed into the waitlist yourself.
The site is served by a hosting provider, which may keep standard technical logs, such as IP address and browser type, to run and protect the service.
If you have summoned witnesses, choose "Dismiss the Society" on your dossier. It deletes your stored dossier and every testimony given about you straight away, and clears this device. It cannot be undone. "Begin again" does the same once witnesses have been summoned.
If you have not summoned witnesses, "Begin again" or clearing this site's data in your browser settings removes everything, because nothing was stored anywhere else.
If you testified about someone and want your testimony removed, ask them to dismiss the Society, or contact us.
Daily Case rulings carry no name. Dismissing the Society removes the link between your rulings and your dossier. Your streak stays on this device until you clear this site's data.
A waitlist address is the one thing clearing your browser will not remove, because it is held by us rather than by your device. Write to regencynoir@gmail.com and we will delete it.
This page will change before launch and again if the site changes what it collects.
For anything on this page, including having your waitlist address or your dossier removed, write to regencynoir@gmail.com.
