1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how the First Person Viewpoint website and desktop application handle information. FPV is an independent, open-source project focused on local-first interactive fiction.
2. Data stored on your device
When you use FPV locally, story content, world state, settings, and other project data may be stored on your computer. That information remains under your control unless you choose to export, share, or send it to another service.
FPV does not require a project account for local play.
3. AI models and third-party providers
FPV can be used with local AI models. If you configure FPV to use a third-party model or API, the text you send to that service may be processed under that provider's own privacy policy and terms.
You should review the policies of any external provider before enabling it.
4. Website data
The website is a static project website. It does not currently use advertising trackers or an FPV account system.
The hosting provider may process ordinary technical request data such as IP address, browser information, timestamps, and requested pages for security, reliability, and delivery of the site.
5. Downloads and GitHub
Downloads, source code, issues, and releases may be provided through GitHub. When you use GitHub, GitHub's own terms and privacy policy apply.
6. Cookies and analytics
The current website does not require cookies for its core functionality and does not include first-party behavioral advertising.
If analytics are added in the future, this policy should be updated before or when that change is deployed.
7. Data retention
FPV does not operate a central user-account database for local use. Local project data remains on your device until you modify or delete it.
Third-party services and hosting providers may retain technical data according to their own policies.
8. Security
No software can guarantee absolute security. Keep your operating system, FPV build, local models, API credentials, and any third-party tools you use up to date and protected.
9. Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may change as the project evolves. The updated date at the top of this page indicates the latest published revision.
