CHOOSD ("A Whole Life") is a free choice-based game, playable in the browser, with no sign-up or user account.
CHOOSD has no account system or player database. Your game progress (challenges earned, situations already discovered, number of lives played) is stored only on your own device, in the browser's local storage (localStorage), and is never sent to our servers as data linked to you as an identified person, except for the temporary copy you may request yourself (see below).
The name you type when creating a character is used only to display it in the game and, if you choose to share your final summary or image, it appears in that text or image — it is not stored on any server or database, unless you include it in a transfer code (see below).
The requests your browser makes to our server to move the game forward (being born, picking an option) are one-off: the server computes the next screen and sends it back, without keeping a history of your games.
Transfer code (optional). If you press “Get code” to move your progress to another device, a copy of that progress (challenges, situations seen, counters, number of lives and your settings, including the character name if you typed one, but not your game in progress) is stored temporarily on our server (Cloudflare Workers KV) only at your request. It is identified solely by a random 8-character code, with no account and no data that identifies you; it is deleted once used (ten minutes after being recovered, in case it fails halfway) and, in any case, after 72 hours. To limit abuse, a short-lived counter keyed to a hash of your IP address is used; it is not stored with your copy and expires within minutes.
The first time you visit, we ask whether you accept analytics cookies. Until you accept them, Google Analytics is not loaded and no analytics cookie is set. If you accept, we enable Google Analytics 4, which helps us understand in an aggregated, anonymous way things like how many people play, how many finish a life, how many share their result, and how many challenges, special lives or artifacts get unlocked (counts only, never your name or anything you type) — never to identify you personally or to show you ads.
We don't sell your data. The only third parties involved are Google Analytics (only if you accept) and Google AdSense (see below).
CHOOSD is free and is funded by ads from Google AdSense, a service of Google Ireland Limited. Ads appear on the start screen, the challenges screen, at the end of a life and, on wide desktop screens, in a side column. They never appear next to the in-game choices.
Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, measure their performance and, if you agree, personalise them based on your visits to this and other websites. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google shows you its own consent notice (an IAB-certified platform) before using advertising cookies: you can accept, reject or choose by purpose, and change your decision at any time from that notice. If you reject personalisation, you may still see non-personalised or limited ads.
You can read how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, manage ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com and see other vendors' options at youronlinechoices.eu.
When family mode is on, CHOOSD shows no ads and sends no analytics events.
You can change your decision about analytics cookies at any time by clearing this site's data from your browser settings (this will also make the cookie banner appear again next time).
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability at any time by writing to [email protected]. In practice, since we don't store identifiable personal data on our servers, most of these rights are already in your hands: you can erase your saved progress simply by clearing this site's data in your browser.
You also have the right to file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es) if you believe your rights haven't been respected.
If you live outside the European Union, you are also protected by the rights your country's data protection law gives you. You can exercise them by writing to the same email address, and you can file a complaint with your country's data protection authority.
If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law (for example California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah or Texas), you may have the following rights:
We do not sell your personal information. CHOOSD has no accounts and no player database, so the personal information we can hold is very limited: analytics data, only if you accept the analytics cookies, and the data Google collects to serve ads.
Under some of these laws, the use of advertising cookies by Google AdSense can count as "sharing" personal information or "targeted advertising". To opt out, use the privacy choice Google shows on this site to visitors in the US, or manage your ad settings at adssettings.google.com. Playing in family mode also turns off ads and analytics.
To exercise any other right, write to [email protected]. We will reply within 45 days. Because we do not keep accounts, we may ask you for details that let us find your data, and we may not be able to identify you if the data is only stored on your own device (in which case you can delete it yourself by clearing this site's data in your browser). You can also use an authorized agent to make a request for you.
CHOOSD includes an optional "family mode" for playing with minors, which turns off early deaths and adult content. Accepting the cookie banner and Google's advertising notice must be done by an adult responsible for the device. When family mode is on, CHOOSD shows no ads and sends no analytics events. CHOOSD is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them; if you believe a child has given us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date above. We recommend checking back from time to time.
