Your visit. Your choices.

You can visit CurioCade without an account. Microphone, saved preferences and analytics are your choice. Video calls are not available. Advertising pixels are not active.

Who handles privacy

CurioCade is operated by its founder in Ontario, Canada. Our public privacy contact is the CurioCade Privacy Officer, reachable at privacy@curiocade.com. Use this address for privacy questions, complaints, access or correction requests, and requests to remove information we hold.

Your choices come first

Before you choose, only necessary storage and services are used. Accept all enables the optional preferences and analytics described here. Reject optional keeps them off. Choose settings lets you decide separately. You can join and use the bar either way. Use Cookie choices at any time to change or withdraw permission. Microphone permission is separate.

What other guests see and hear

Your room shares your chosen name, avatar, seat, virtual drink, microphone status, waves and emotes. Nearby guests can hear you after you turn on your mic. CurioCade is voice-only and does not request camera access for calls. CurioCade does not record or transcribe conversations. The pilot rules prohibit recording without permission, but we cannot guarantee that another guest will not make their own recording.

Audio uses direct connections where possible. Browsers exchange technical connection information, which can include IP addresses. Cloudflare Realtime relays encrypted call traffic when a direct connection is unavailable.

Temporary room information

Room membership, visit-level blocks, and the version and time of your pilot-rules acceptance stay with the active visit. There is no permanent guest account. Leaving releases your seat; inactive connections are also removed. Cloudflare may temporarily retain service state while managing connections.

Optional preferences

If you allow preferences, this browser can remember your avatar, an unsent feedback draft and progress in the older Butterfly Button game. Declining or withdrawing preferences removes these saved copies. They are not sent to an audience-tracking service. See the storage list.

Optional analytics

With your permission, CurioCade counts a visit and the first room join in a browser tab session. Each count includes the selected bar, calendar day, a broad screen category, a broad referral category such as Instagram or direct/unknown, and whether this browser has a returning-visitor marker. These counts help us understand which bars and referral sources bring consenting visitors back.

We do not send guest names, conversation content, precise location or full referring URLs in these counts. A consent-receipt identifier accompanies the request to check permission; it is not retained with the audience totals. Cloudflare's separate security processing can involve IP addresses. The totals are approximate, cover only consenting visits, and do not identify unique people. Clearing storage, using another device, private browsing or blocked referrers can change the results.

A returning-browser cookie lasts up to 90 days, renewed when a permitted count succeeds. A tab-session marker avoids repeat counts within the tab. Our Cloudflare database stores grouped daily totals for up to 90 days, with daily cleanup. Withdrawal stops future counts and removes these browser markers. We cannot isolate or remove an individual's contribution from already-grouped totals.

Records of your privacy choices

Necessary local storage remembers your selection for up to 180 days, together with random receipt identifiers and the notice version. When you make or change a choice, our private database records the selections, notice version, browser-reported selection time and server receipt time. A random identifier links changes from this browser for consent management only; it is not used to build an advertising profile.

These records help us respect and demonstrate choices. They do not include your guest name, email or voice. Consent records are retained for up to one year, with daily cleanup. Analytics stays off until its consent receipt has been saved. If browser storage is cleared or unavailable, you may be asked again. We request a new choice when the optional purposes or notice materially change.

Advertising

No advertising partners, advertising pixels or remarketing audiences are active. Accept all today does not authorize future advertising. Before adding such a service, we will explain the provider, data and purposes and request a new, separate choice.

Private feedback and requests

Feedback submissions save your message, category, selected bar, submission time and receipt identifier. If you choose to answer after leaving, your Yes, Maybe or No response and optional comment are saved as a feedback message. Skipping sends no feedback. General feedback does not automatically attach your guest name. Choosing Report a concern on another guest prefills their displayed name, temporary visit identifier and the current time into an editable draft. These details are sent only if you submit the report. Submitted feedback is private and reviewed manually; it does not generate an automatic email notification. Include a contact address only if you want a reply and avoid sensitive information. Feedback is retained during the pilot until the operator removes it; automatic feedback deletion is not configured.

Contact privacy@curiocade.com for access, correction or removal requests. For feedback, include enough detail to identify the message or its receipt. For consent records, use Copy privacy receipt in Cookie choices and include it in your request. We may need additional information to verify a request. You can also use private feedback without joining a room. If a Canadian privacy concern remains unresolved, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Hosting and protection

Cloudflare hosts the website, coordinates rooms, stores feedback, consent records and audience totals, and provides the call relay. Technical information such as IP addresses and request details is processed to deliver and protect the service. Temporary address-based limits reduce repeated requests. These operational protections are separate from optional analytics. Cloudflare may process information outside Canada; see Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Older experiences and external links

Life in Numbers calculates your entered birthday in your browser without saving or submitting it. Other game results stay on the page unless you choose to save or share them. External links, email providers and your device's sharing features have their own privacy practices.

This notice describes the current pilot. CurioCade's formal business details and full commercial terms remain under review. Changes in the operator or data practices will be reflected here; where a new consent is needed, we will ask for it.
