Privacy, without the weirdness.

ME OR CLONE? is designed to work without accounts, advertising trackers, contact lists or profile photos.

What the game stores

• The name you enter, your five Quick Clone answers or fifteen Deep Clone answers, and the matching AI-generated decoys.
• The private challenge identifier and basic aggregate play totals.
• For Deep Clone purchases, a Stripe checkout reference, payment status and the total, used, reserved and remaining builds in each unlocked mode. The private Clone Locker link is also saved in your browser so you can return to it.
• One-way connection and browser-session fingerprints used to enforce the free daily allowance and slow automated abuse. Raw IP addresses and the original browser-session value are not stored in the game database.

How AI is used

Your five or fifteen answers are sent to Google’s Gemini API to generate and evaluate the decoys. The Gemini key stays on our server. Friends playing a completed challenge do not trigger additional AI requests.

Who can see a challenge

There is no public profile or discovery feed. Anyone who receives the private link can view and play that challenge, so do not enter secrets or information you would not share with that group.

Retention

Quick Clone challenges expire after 30 days. Deep Clone challenges are currently scheduled for extended retention so their paid sharing links keep working. A purchased allowance record is retained without a scheduled expiry so unused builds and the private Clone Locker can remain available while the service operates. Expired challenge records are removed during normal cleanup, and abusive or unlawful content may be removed sooner.

Payments

Stripe hosts checkout and processes payment details. We do not receive or store your full card number. Stripe may collect payment, billing and contact information under its own privacy terms; we receive the checkout status and reference needed to activate your pass.

Your choices

You can request early removal by sending the challenge link to hello@meorclone.com. The game is not intended for children under 16.

What is not happening

We do not sell challenge data. This MVP does not use behavioural advertising, third-party analytics, contact syncing or precise-location collection.

Anonymous product metrics

We count basic events such as page visits, clone creations, share presses, challenge opens, completions and correct guesses. We also total Gemini token use and estimated cost by day, mode and model. These metrics do not contain submitted answers, raw IP addresses or individual play histories.
