PRIVACY.

Updated October 29, 2026

Our sites

This policy covers lostisland.com and the in-world websites for our projects (for example the Loose Bolts, Jibble, National Department of Robotics, S.T.A.R.R. and Fission Girl sites). Those sites are fiction; this policy is not.

Analytics

We use our own analytics service, hosted on DigitalOcean, to understand which worlds and features people enjoy. It records page paths, referring sites, campaign tags, performance and selected interactions without form contents, cookies or person profiles. A random identifier lasts for the browser tab session. Links between participating Idea Engine sites may carry a short-lived journey token, which is removed on arrival. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track switch analytics off. We do not sell this information or share it with advertisers.

Email sign-ups

When you join a list on one of our sites (a notify-me form, the Fission Rangers, the Jibble Hostess Club, a petition or similar), we receive your email address, any optional name you give, the site and form you used, and a short technical record (time, page, browser type and a one-way hash of your IP address used only to prevent abuse). We store this on our own server. When analytics is permitted, our analytics service receives an anonymous record that the sign-up was stored; it does not receive your email address, name or message. We use it to send occasional emails about Lost Island projects. Every email includes a way to unsubscribe, or you can write to us and we will remove you.

Our sites are intended for adults and teenagers. If you are under 13, please ask a parent to sign up for you.

Server logs

Our hosting and content delivery services can process technical information such as your IP address, requested pages, browser details and request times in operational logs. This helps deliver the sites, investigate errors and protect them from abuse.

Getting in touch

The contact link opens your email application. If you email us, we receive the address, message and any attachments you choose to send. We use that information to read and respond to your enquiry.

Links to other places

Links to PBN and other websites take you to separate services. Their own privacy practices apply when you visit them.

Your choices and questions

To see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or for any question about this policy, email [email protected].
