Definition and scope
The initial publication is a read-only website that does not require an account, accept public form submissions, or set application cookies. Optional analytics can be configured by the operator through an environment variable and must be documented here before activation. Hosting providers may process standard request logs.
The published policy should describe the deployed system rather than a hypothetical future data operation.
Why the distinction matters
The policy is designed to make ownership, claims, sources, and revisions inspectable.
For state privacy practices, the decisive question is what information the system can use, what role it performs, how long the context remains relevant, and what the player can inspect or control.
How to apply the idea
Before enabling analytics, contact forms, newsletters, personalization, or saved state, update this policy with purpose, data, retention, processor, and control details.
Start with the smallest useful context. Name the relevant game, run, character, or interaction horizon; distinguish verified facts from player statements and model inference; then link the result to a visible source or restore point when it must remain durable.
- Identify the primary player need.
- Choose the companion type or comparison level.
- Define inputs, authority, retention, and deletion.
- Test the likely failure mode, not only the ideal response.
Boundaries and caveats
External links have their own privacy practices, and this editorial site does not receive Companion Play save-state data through its public pages.
Product labels are not enough evidence. Current features, privacy behavior, platform access, and compatibility should be checked in official documentation. A fluent response can still contain an incorrect fact, stale state, or a plausible merge of two different runs.
A practical evaluation model
Evaluate a companion across five dimensions: context input, system role, action authority, time horizon, and player control. Add source quality and privacy when the system uses external knowledge or stores durable state.
This model keeps interface features in perspective. Voice, screen capture, an avatar, and a dedicated app can improve a particular implementation, but none of them defines the entire AI gaming companion category.
Frequently asked questions
What is the shortest explanation of “Privacy Policy”?
The initial publication is a read-only website that does not require an account, accept public form submissions, or set application cookies. Optional analytics can be configured by the operator through an environment variable and must be documented here before activation. Hosting providers may process standard request logs.
Does this require real-time screen access?
Not necessarily. Screen access is an input used by some coaching systems, not a requirement for the wider category.
What should a player or product team verify?
Verify the system’s actual inputs, action authority, source quality, privacy controls, retention, correction path, deletion behavior, and whether its visible product claims match its implementation.
