Play counts data that leaves the device as collected, whoever runs the
server it lands on. The generated Data Safety notes answered "not
collected" because we run no server, which is true of /privacy and the
wrong answer to the form (org lead, 2026-10-29, Android PLAN.md M8).
An audit of the app's edge (every body, query and header in data/api/)
found more leaving the phone than section 2 listed. New rows: the
User-Agent, game-account links and creation, the Contact form, staff
posts and moderation, notification read state and preferences, search
text. The sign-in and trusted-device rows now say what is sent (the
credentials, the device's make and model).
- PlayMapping: a list of console types, plus required and purposes,
checked against PLAY_DATA_TYPES / PLAY_PURPOSES (the first version
filed "Other user-generated content" under Messages).
- The generator answers per data type, lists every type not collected,
and answers the form's security questions.
- The premise test now asserts what is still true: nothing is shared.
- legal.lastUpdated moves to 2026-10-29 with /privacy.

PLAN.md §9. Builds /privacy and /terms, links them from the footer on every page,
and generates the Play Data Safety notes from the same inventory the policy renders.
Four decisions taken by the org lead before either page was written, recorded in
§9 under "How phase 6 built the legal pages":
D30 DNS-only records, so the reverse proxy on the host keeps the only access
log. Described qualitatively — the retention belongs to the proxy, and a
policy that quotes a number the deployment does not enforce is worse than
one that does not.
D31 Eighteen or older. Above the children's-consent threshold everywhere in the
EEA, so consent works with no parental-consent machinery this form could not
honestly operate. Four surfaces render it from src/data/legal.mjs, and every
one says plainly that nothing verifies it.
D32 No governing-law clause. Nothing of value is contracted for here.
D33 PLAY_DATA_SAFETY.md is generated from src/data/collection.mjs and checked in
CI, so the published policy and the answers given to Google cannot drift.
/privacy is three separately-scoped sections because "we" means three different
parties: this site (one form, no cookies, no third-party requests), the Android app
(we operate no server it talks to — the rows are what the DEVICE holds), and a
self-hosted deployment (the operator is the controller, not us). Every row names the
file it was read out of, because a policy is the document most likely to be written
from a template and least likely to be re-read against the software.
/terms governs only what we run: this site, the beta list, and the APK we publish.
The software is governed by its licence, and a community's deployment by that
community — a terms page claiming authority over every install of a GPL program is
the thing a generated template gets wrong.
Also here:
- the age clause changed CONSENT_TEXT, so CONSENT_VERSION gained a suffix; rows
written from now on carry the new sentence and older rows keep theirs
- PLANNED_ROUTES is now empty — these were its last two entries, and its reverse
check is what forced the deletion; the list stays for phases 7 and 8
- test/legal.test.mjs asserts the structural promises no build check can see,
including that every mapped Play row still answers "not collected, not shared"
- --check normalises line endings: the repo has no .gitattributes and Windows
checkouts are CRLF, so a byte comparison would fail for every Windows developer
while passing in CI
Verified: npm run verify green end to end (tokens, brand, data safety, astro check,
36 tests, build, 214 links, 19 facts), both pages walked in a browser, and neither
overflows at 390px. One defect the checks could not see and a look could: the
retention line was being pushed to the foot of the tallest card in its row, opening
a void in the middle of the short ones.
