MnemocracyPrivacy
Mnemocracy (this website, and the Mnemocracy app on the web and on phones) is made by Andrei Tchernoivan, Triq Ta’ Grunju, Qala, Gozo, Malta, who is responsible for your data. Write to contact@wattsfor.ai with any question about it.
In short
- No account, no ads, no tracking, no cookies.
- What you save in the app (favourites, settings, quiz results) stays on your device.
- Only the Sunday tournament keeps data about you on a server, and only what it needs: see below.
This website
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which handles your connection (including your IP address) to deliver and protect the site; we keep no log of visits. In your browser, the home page asks Wikipedia for today’s highlights (the Wikimedia Foundation receives your IP address, as for any visit to Wikipedia, under its own privacy policy) and asks the tournament server when the next game is. Nothing about you is sent with these requests.
Reading in the app
The app reads the day’s entries, articles and pictures directly from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, which receive your IP address as for any visit to Wikipedia. Your favourites, notes, settings, quiz results and the days you read are stored only on your device (in your browser, for the web version), and are gone when you delete the app or clear the site’s data.
Ask the AI and For you
These features are optional. When you use them, what you ask about (the entry, and for For you the profile you filled in) is sent to the app’s server, then through OpenRouter (a US service) to OpenAI’s GPT-6 Luna, run by Microsoft Azure in the EU, which keeps nothing (zero data retention). The app’s server keeps nothing. To limit how often the AI can be asked, it uses a random identifier of your installation and your network address for a short time, without storing them.
For you only works after you give your explicit consent, because a profile can say something about your origins or beliefs. The profile stays on your device, and you can delete it at any time in the settings.
The Sunday tournament
If you join the tournament, the organiser keeps your nickname (shown on the leaderboard), a random identifier of your installation, your answers and answering times, and a code derived from your network address (not the address itself) to limit entries per connection. These are deleted 90 days after the tournament. Your IP address and country are checked when you join, to make sure you connect from Malta, and are not stored.
For a winner, the organiser also keeps the full name and email address given to claim the prize, the bank details for the transfer (asked for by email, never in the app) and any proof of eligibility asked for, to pay the prize and keep a record of it. These are deleted one year after payment. The tournament rules say more.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to its use, by writing to contact@wattsfor.ai. If you are not satisfied with the answer, you can complain to Malta’s Information and Data Protection Commissioner (idpc.org.mt).
