ALIS Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-25

ALIS is an open-source game project. It publishes its own announcements to a number of public platforms, using platform-supported APIs where configured and operator-controlled publishing mechanisms otherwise. This policy covers every such integration ALIS operates, and the fall.is website.

There is no ALIS account system: nobody signs up or logs in. The only person who authorises an integration is the project’s own operator, using the project’s own accounts. If you contact ALIS, we process the contact details and information you provide solely to answer you.

What we process

ALIS integrations process only what is needed to publish the project’s own content and to prove it went live:

Kind Example
Operator authentication the token or session that authorises ALIS to act as its own account, and the account identity a platform returns when granting it
ALIS account identifiers the identifier of the ALIS page, profile or channel being posted to
ALIS-authored content the text and images of ALIS’s own announcements, written in the project’s own repository
Public post references the identifier and public URL a platform returns for a post ALIS created
Verification evidence timestamps, verdicts and platform diagnostic codes recorded when checking that a post is publicly visible

ALIS does not intentionally collect personal data about visitors or followers, through either its website or its publishing integrations. ALIS code does not request, build or retain their names, contact details, profile information, device identifiers, IP addresses, location, tracking profiles, comments, private messages, or follower lists. If someone contacts ALIS voluntarily, ALIS processes what they send only to answer them, as described above. ALIS runs no advertising and sets no analytics or advertising cookies of its own.

ALIS does not run its own servers for the website. Hosting, network, email, embedded-content and platform providers necessarily receive the technical request data needed to do their job — an IP address and browser user-agent when your browser asks for a page or an embedded file, for example — under their own privacy terms, which ALIS does not control. Some ALIS pages embed third-party content such as files hosted on Google Drive, served by that provider directly to your browser.

Why we process it

ALIS processes information only to:

  • operate and verify its own public publishing integrations;
  • operate fall.is and answer messages people choose to send us.

The verification records exist so a post cannot be published twice, and so a failed delivery can be reconstructed afterwards instead of guessed at.

Storage and retention

Credentials are held in the project’s private credential store, on hardware the operator controls. A credential is only ever presented to the platform that issued it, to prove a post comes from ALIS’s own account. It is never sent to anyone else and never appears in published content.

Delivery and verification records — post identifiers, public URLs, timestamps, verdicts and diagnostic codes — are kept in the project’s own private storage for as long as they are useful for preventing duplicate publication and diagnosing delivery problems.

Sharing

ALIS does not sell or rent data, and discloses nothing for advertising.

Publishing sends ALIS’s own content and its own account identifier to the platform being published to — that is what publishing is — and that content is, by design, public there afterwards. Beyond that, service providers receive only the limited data required to host the site, deliver embedded content, carry email, or operate a platform integration.

Data deletion requests

Apart from information people voluntarily send us, ALIS does not intentionally hold personal data about visitors or followers. If you believe an ALIS integration holds data relating to you, or you want ALIS-published content concerning you removed, see Data deletion — or email [email protected] directly. Requests are answered within 30 days.

Platform integrations

Meta — “ALIS Verifier” (App ID 1484545017027892)

This integration manages the ALIS Facebook Page. It may publish ALIS-authored posts to that Page when the corresponding Meta permission is granted, and reads ALIS Page posts back to verify they are publicly visible.

Permission Used for
pages_show_list locating the ALIS Page the operator controls
pages_read_engagement reading ALIS’s own Page posts back, to confirm public delivery
pages_manage_posts creating and managing ALIS-authored Page posts, when granted

It acts on no Page other than ALIS’s own, and reads no data about people who visit or follow it. The operator can revoke its access at any time.
