Privacy Notice

This notice explains the limited information Wovi collects through this pre-launch website, playable prototypes and parent waitlist. It does not yet describe a child account; a fuller notice and parental-consent flow will be published before accounts, uploads or research involving children are offered.

1. Scope

This notice applies to wovi.world, the Reef Rescue and Agent Maze prototypes, the optional Signal Forest early playtest, the early-access form and messages you choose to exchange with us. Wovi currently offers two free mission prototypes, the Atlas Station world map and a separate voluntary playtest with no saved progress; the broader product remains in development.

2. What we collect

Our first-party, cookieless analytics records page paths, selected actions such as early-access button clicks, referring site domain and path, campaign tags, coarse device category, browser language and event time. A random identifier stored only in the current tab's session storage connects events on the adult-oriented website during that tab session; it is not an account identifier and disappears from the browser when the tab session ends. For the world map, playable missions and family activity, workbook and guide pages, Wovi discards this session identifier before storing events and analyzes only unlinked event totals such as map views, mission starts and completions. Guide-to-game choices are also stored only as unlinked totals. Fixed links from the home page, mission completion screens and Agent Bay to family activities are counted using only the source page, fixed placement and resource labels, broad device category, event time and a recognized internal test marker when applicable. These link-choice records contain no session identifier, referrer, language or ordinary campaign tags; a click does not mean that a worksheet was completed or printed. Cross-world learning milestones—first mission completed, second mission started and both worlds completed—use the same unlinked approach. For Reef Rescue and Agent Maze, we do not record which training examples, reward settings, routes or reflection answer a player selected. The separate Signal Forest playtest collects the limited fixed-choice events described below.

Analytics records do not contain an email address, a child's information, advertising identifiers, the full user agent or an IP address. The waitlist separately requires an adult's email address and confirmation that the person submitting it is 18 or older. You may optionally share a country or region, a broad child age range, interests, main device and campaign source.

Like most web servers, our server processes operational logs containing request time, requested path, IP address and user agent for delivery, reliability and security. These logs are separate from analytics events and are normally rotated after 14 daily archives.

Please do not submit a child's name, email, exact birth date, school or other identifying information.

Voluntary visitor survey

Quick survey is available on the home page, Atlas Station world map, Agent Maze, Reef Rescue, parent guide and proposed pricing page. It opens only when you choose it and can be closed or skipped. The form has two steps and three required fixed-choice questions: an audience category describing how you are exploring Wovi, your purpose and your experience so far. The audience question includes Prefer not to say, and the experience question includes Not tried yet. Only visitors choosing Parent or Educator may optionally select a broad age band for the learners they are exploring for. We do not ask for the visitor’s own age or anyone’s exact age.

Survey records contain the page, broad device category, the three selected answers, an optional learner age band for parents or educators, questionnaire version, submission time and an internal test marker where applicable. Earlier questionnaire records contain purpose and experience answers only; we do not infer or add audience or age answers to them. Records contain no name, email, other contact details, free-form message, session identifier, advertising identifier or IP address, and are stored separately from gameplay events. We do not link them to a player profile or individual gameplay history. The server temporarily uses the request IP address in memory to limit abuse; the feedback endpoint does not write an access log.

Nothing is sent until you submit the final step. Moving between steps, closing or skipping the form sends no answers. After a successful submission, this browser tab remembers that this questionnaire version was sent across all six survey pages. The local flag is not an identifier and is not sent to the server. A new tab or unavailable browser storage may allow another submission, so this is not a count of unique people. Campaign source labels can also remain in the tab to identify internal tests; stored survey records retain only recognized test markers, so test submissions can be excluded from reports. The separate adult email waitlist is optional and is not part of this survey.

Optional Signal Forest early playtest

The Signal Forest test has no account and does not add stars, badges or completion to the saved mission log. When optional measurement is allowed, it sends unlinked counts of the test being viewed or started, stages reached, the first fixed-choice answer to the transfer question, completion and an attempt to count the stage at which the page was left. Leaving a page cannot always be recorded. A separate optional difficulty question sends a fixed-choice answer only when you choose to submit it; closing or leaving it sends no difficulty answer.

These playtest records contain only the event name, playtest page, fixed stage or choice label, broad device category, time and a recognized internal test marker when applicable. They contain no name, contact details, free-form text, session identifier or individual progress record. They are not linked to survey answers or personal gameplay history. Choices used to run the investigation stay in page memory and are cleared on reload; they are not saved as local progress. The first transfer choice and a deliberately submitted difficulty choice are the only playtest answer options sent.

All playtest measurement, including the optional difficulty submission, respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Internal test traffic is excluded from the product report, and raw records are removed after 90 days. Reports separate phone and desktop event totals. These totals can include repeat visits and cannot identify unique people or an exact individual dropout path; a first answer or completion does not establish learning or mastery.

Printable family learning materials

The four free family activities, complete workbook and parent guide are static pages. They do not contain fields for a child’s answers, name or contact details, and they do not upload written work. Families may write on paper and keep their own notes. Printing uses the browser’s print function; Wovi does not receive the printed notes. Page views use the website analytics described above. A family-pack update link opens the existing adult waitlist and identifies that campaign; the current trial edition is free and no paid edition is on sale.

3. Local progress and optional activity bookmark

The world map stores only allowlisted completed mission IDs, each mission's best star count and fixed capability names in this browser's local storage. It does not contain a name, email address, birthday, school, free-form text or cross-site identifier. This record is not sent with analytics, is not synced to Wovi's server and is not a child profile. It remains in that browser until its site data is cleared or you choose Reset local progress on the world map. It does not sync across browsers or devices. Signal Forest playtest choices and completion are not added to this record. If browser storage is blocked or cleared, the record may not be retained.

The family pack offers a separate, optional activity bookmark. Only when you select Save session for later does it save one activity number (1–4) in this browser’s local storage; merely opening a session does not save it. Saving another replaces the number. No answers, names or completion status are stored, and the bookmark is not uploaded or sent with analytics. It is a place to return to, not a record of finished work. Select Remove bookmark on the family pack or a session page, or clear this site’s browser data, to remove it. It does not sync across browsers or devices and may be lost if storage is cleared or unavailable. Saving or removing the activity bookmark does not change game progress.

4. How we use information

We use aggregate website events to understand which pages are useful, whether adults reach the waitlist and whether the site works reliably. We use the separate playtest totals and fixed-choice answers to locate confusing steps and inspect early comprehension signals. We use voluntary survey answers to examine self-described audiences, visit purposes and usability problems. We report questionnaire versions separately and treat answers as self-selected responses, not all visitors’ opinions, confirmed customer identities or evidence of willingness to pay. We use waitlist information to send requested product updates, understand broad market needs, invite eligible adults to optional research and protect the form against abuse. We do not load third-party analytics or advertising trackers, sell this information or use it for behavioral advertising.

5. Storage and retention

Raw analytics events, including the Signal Forest playtest events, and voluntary survey or earlier feedback records are stored separately on infrastructure we control and automatically removed after 90 days. Anonymous aggregate counts may be retained longer. Waitlist submissions are stored separately with limited access and retained while developing Wovi or until you unsubscribe or request deletion, unless a shorter or longer period is required for security or law. Local progress and the optional activity bookmark are controlled by the browser as described above. Internet services cannot promise absolute security.

6. International use

Wovi is intended for a global audience. Information may be processed in a country different from yours. Before a public product launch, we will update regional disclosures and transfer safeguards as applicable.

7. Children's privacy

The world map, Reef Rescue and Agent Maze prototypes, and the optional Signal Forest playtest may be explored by families, including children with adult guidance. They do not request a name, contact details, account, upload or free-form message, and their aggregate product events are stored without a session identifier. Agent Maze build links contain only two numeric reward settings. The waitlist remains for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly use the site to collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child submitted personal information, contact us so we can delete it. Child accounts, parental consent and age-appropriate design will require separate safeguards before launch.

8. Your choices

If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, Wovi does not send optional analytics events, including Signal Forest stage counts, transfer choices and difficulty feedback. You can still choose to submit the separate visitor survey; a deliberate submission sends only the fixed-choice survey answers and optional learner age band described above. Closing the form sends no survey request. You can clear locally stored learning progress from the world map, unsubscribe through any Wovi email or ask to access, correct or delete waitlist information by emailing us. Applicable law may provide additional privacy rights.

9. Changes

We may update this notice as the product and legal requirements develop. We will change the effective date and provide additional notice when a change is material.
