Privacy

Last updated November 10, 2026

Quiet Isle is built to need as little about you as possible. You can use it without an account. This page explains, in plain words, what happens to your information.

What stays in your browser

These are saved only on your device (in your browser’s local storage) and never sent to us: your focus timer settings and statistics, your to-do list, your sound settings and playlist, your friends list, and your profile (name, look and optional picture) so you don’t have to set it up again. Clearing your browser’s site data removes them.

What passes through our server while you’re on the island

• What others see of you: your display name, your character’s look, your position, whether you’re sitting, your status line, whether a focus or break is running, how many minutes you focused today and how many sessions you finished, whether sound is playing for you (if you allow it), and your picture if you added one.
• Your picture is relayed to other visitors while you’re here and is not kept after you leave.
• A random visitor ID created by your browser lets us count how many different people visited today. It is kept in memory only and never logged.
• Longest stays today: your name and time on the island since midnight can appear in a top-5 list. You can hide yourself from it in your profile.
• Friends: when you become friends, each of you gets a signed token so you can be told when the other arrives. Invite links last 14 days. A friendship made while you were away is remembered in memory until you next arrive (a server restart forgets it).

None of this is sold or shared with anyone. There are no ads and no analytics trackers.

Cookies

We set two small first-party cookies so we can greet you when you come back: your random visitor ID and your display name. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.

Music from other services

Quiet Isle never contacts YouTube or SoundCloud until you press Play on a link you added. YouTube videos play through YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player (youtube-nocookie.com). When they play, those services receive the usual information a browser sends them and their own privacy policies apply.

What we never collect

Your camera, your microphone, your contacts, or your precise location.

Signing in with Google (coming later)

When Google sign-in arrives, it will ask only for your basic identity (an ID and your email address) so your character can be saved. Your Google name, email and photo will never be shown to other people. This page will be updated before that happens.

Hosting

Quiet Isle runs on Railway. Like any web host, it processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver pages; we don’t keep logs of who visited.

Your choices

You can turn off the headphones icon in Music, hide yourself from Longest stays in your profile, hide anyone’s picture from their card, and delete everything on your side by clearing this site’s data in your browser.
