Who runs this
Persephone's Chair is run by Ben Lathbury. If you have a question about your data, email ben@persephoneschair.com.
What your account holds
- Your email address and username, and the date you created your account.
- How you sign in: with a password, or with Google.
- If you sign in with Google, the name, email address and profile picture that Google shares with us.
- If you link your Twitch account: your Twitch user number, your Twitch name (the one in your Twitch address and the one Twitch displays), the web address of your Twitch profile picture, and the date you linked it.
- Your credits name, if you set one: the name shown in the credits on stream.
Passwords are handled by Google's Firebase sign-in service. Persephone's Chair never sees or stores your password. When you link Twitch, you sign in on Twitch's own page: Persephone's Chair never sees your Twitch password and keeps no Twitch sign-in key.
Signing in at login.persephoneschair.com sets one cookie, pc_session, for persephoneschair.com and its subdomains, so one sign-in works on every Persephone's Chair site. It is only used to sign you in and to show who is signed in at the top of each page, and lasts up to 14 days or until you sign out.
What it is used for
- Signing you in.
- Showing your username, which other people can see.
- Deciding which games and tools your account may use, such as hosting games, or Q-Forge for writers.
- Keeping the content you create, such as question packs and Face/Off and Only Connect content, stored against your account.
- If you link Twitch, matching your account to your Twitch account so Pennys and question credits go to the right person.
- Showing your credits name in the credits on stream.
- Keeping logs of changes to your access and of the game sessions you run.
Where it is stored
Your data is stored with Google Firebase. Your access, your Twitch link, your credits name, your content and the logs are kept in Firebase's UK region (europe-west2). Your sign-in details (email address, how you sign in, and what Google shares on a Google sign-in) are held by Google's Firebase sign-in service, which Google runs across its own data centres rather than in one region.
Who it is shared with
Your data is never sold. It is shared only with the services that run the sites: Google Firebase, which also hosts the login page, and Vercel, which runs the sign-in service. If you link Twitch, Twitch tells us who you are when you link, and we ask Twitch for your current Twitch name and picture when you open your account page.
Players
You do not need a Persephone's Chair account to play games. You only need one to write questions for the stream games or to host games yourself. This page covers Persephone's Chair accounts only.
Your choices
You can change your username or delete your account yourself on your account page. You can also ask to see, correct or delete your account and its data by emailing ben@persephoneschair.com.
Changes
If anything here changes, this page is updated and the date at the top changes with it.
