Second Life privacy policy
The short version
Second Life saves your in-game life so it is there when you come back. That saved game is the only data the skill stores. We do not sell or share your data, the skill has no ads, and it currently offers no purchases.
What the skill saves
To run the game, the skill stores your game progress, linked to your Amazon account so Alexa can find your life on your devices. That includes:
- Your character in the game: age, and the game’s stats — happiness, health, smarts, looks, and fame.
- Your in-game money: cash, net worth, salary, debt, home, car, and stocks — all fictional, all inside the game.
- Your in-game family and relationships, and how close you are.
- Your job or study status, the events of each year, and the choices you made.
- Your story so far — the year-by-year record the game keeps — plus your Life Titles and past lives across generations.
Everything listed is part of the fictional life inside the game. It is stored in Amazon’s cloud services as part of how Alexa skills save progress.
What the skill does not collect
- We do not ask for or store your real name, email address, phone number, payment details, or location — and nothing about your real finances, health, or family.
- The skill does not record or store your voice. (See “Your voice and Amazon Alexa” below.)
- We do not use analytics or advertising trackers in the skill.
Your voice and Amazon Alexa
When you play, Alexa hears your commands and turns them into text the skill can act on. Voice recordings and their handling are managed by Amazon under Amazon’s own Alexa privacy settings and policies, which you control in the Alexa app — including reviewing and deleting your voice recordings. Earshot Worlds does not receive or store your voice recordings.
Sharing
We do not sell your data. We do not share your saved game or any personal information with third parties for marketing or any other purpose. Your saved game is used only to run your game.
Ads and purchases
Second Life contains no advertising. It currently offers no in-skill purchases. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated before purchases are offered.
Children
Second Life is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The saved data described above is game progress only.
Deleting your saved game
You can delete your saved life in two ways:
- In the game: say “delete my life” and confirm. The game asks first, and only deletes when you confirm.
- By email: write to privacy@earshotworlds.com and ask us to delete your Second Life data. We will confirm when it is done.
Disabling the skill in the Alexa app stops the skill from accessing your saved game.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date, and material changes will be reflected in the skill’s store listing.
