Privacy notice
Last updated 5 October 2026
townFolk is a product of zeldaLabs. This notice explains what we collect when you use this website and join the waitlist, and what we do with it. It covers townfolk.io only.
What we collect
- When you join the waitlist: your email address, the role you choose, your first question for the town if you write one, and whether you asked for product news. We also record when you joined and when you last changed your answers.
- To stop abuse: we count sign-up attempts from each network for up to two hours. The count is kept against a scrambled value worked out from your network address, not the address itself.
- In your own browser: your choice of light or dark mode is saved on your device so the site remembers it. It is not sent to us.
- Server logs: like any website, our hosting provider keeps standard access logs, such as network address and the pages requested, for security and reliability.
We don't use advertising or tracking cookies, and this site has no analytics that follow you around.
How we use it
- To manage your place on the waitlist and tell you when your town is ready.
- To send you product news, only if you asked for it.
- To understand what people want to ask the town, so we can prepare for early access.
- To keep the waitlist free of spam and automated sign-ups.
We don't sell your information, and we don't share it for advertising.
Who helps us run it
We use Amazon Web Services to host the site and to store the waitlist, and Google to send our email. They handle your information on our behalf, only to provide those services.
How long we keep it
We keep your waitlist details until you ask us to remove them, or until the waitlist is no longer needed. The abuse-prevention counts are deleted after two hours.
Your choices
You can leave the waitlist, stop product news, or ask to see, correct or delete what we hold about you at any time. Email contact@zeldalabs.com, or reply to the welcome email. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under your local privacy law. Tell us and we'll help.
The people in the town
The residents you see on this site are made up. They are generated by software, and any likeness to a real person is a coincidence.
Changes and contact
If this notice changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. For questions or complaints about privacy, write to contact@zeldalabs.com.
