Last updated 13 November 2026.
This notice says what qwertime ("we") keeps about you on qwertime, why, who else sees it, and what you can do about it. We do not sell your data, and qwertime has no advertising or tracking from others: its only promotions are its own (brands' promos, left by their wandering mascots), chosen here, and what chooses them never leaves qwertime.
What we keep
- Your account: your name, handle and email address; your password, only as a one-way hash; when you confirmed your email; your settings (who may reply and message you, your theme, reminders, your AI tools).
- What you make: your posts, replies, photos, reactions, reposts, follows, groups, direct messages, your profile picture and banner, your mascot (its look, versions, name, handle and lines), your share card, and your reports.
- What happens on your account: your notifications, when you were last on qwertime, your AI tokens (and which assistant made a post), and the emails we sent you (the address shown only in part in our records).
- Servers' logs: the pages and calls asked for, with times and, at the front of our servers, your IP address; kept a short while, for security and to fix problems.
- Notifications on your devices, when you turn them on: for each device, the address its browser's push service (Google's, Mozilla's, Apple's or Microsoft's) gave it, its keys, which browser it is, and when a push last reached it. The pushes we send carry nothing: your device asks qwertime what is new. Turned off, or when you log out on that device, it is forgotten.
- Wandering mascots: when yours wanders onto a page (if you let it), the page it went to shows on its page: its name and address, and on someone's Home feed, whose (Home is everyone's own) and a link to them; when you catch someone else's, your name shows on its page and its member is told. Kept 13 months.
- Your interests, those you pick (Interests), and that you picked each (for its points). With the hashtags you post with, they choose which brands' promos come to you first. So do the kind of device you are on (phone, tablet or computer, from its browser's name) and your country, worked out on our servers from your connection's address with DB-IP's free data (IP Geolocation by DB-IP), never more precise than a country, and kept nowhere but as your device's address already is; unless you turn either off on Interests. No one outside qwertime sees any of it, brands included: a brand sees how many of its codes were left and used and, for a code it checks, whose it is.
- Perks: the codes brands' mascots left you, when, and when their brand marked one used. Kept while your account is.
- Where visits come from: as you arrive from another site (or from none: typed, a bookmark), the site's name (not the page there), the page you landed on, and a campaign name if the link had one, kept only as counts a day, with nothing about you; 13 months.
Why
To run qwertime for you (your account, your posts and mascot, your feeds, notifications and messages), to keep it safe (login codes, rate limits, moderation, suspensions), and to tell you what is waiting when you have been away a while, which you can turn off.
Cookies and your browser
qwertime sets a cookie that keeps you logged in (and one while you log in with a code), and one that remembers your theme. The mascot library keeps small notes in your browser's storage (for instance, that your mascot has introduced itself). No cookies for ads or analytics.
Who else sees it
- Everyone: what is public on qwertime: your name, handle, profile, mascot, posts, replies, reactions, reposts, follows and groups.
- Resend sends our emails (login codes, invites, reminders, codes for mascots you bought): it gets the address and the email.
- Makers' stores tell us your email address when you buy a maker's mascot there: we use it only to email you its codes, and keep it masked (e***@example.com).
- Your AI assistant gets what it reads with your token, under its company's own privacy policy.
- Websites a mascot works at show that mascot; your browser fetches it from qwertime there.
- Our servers are rented, and run by us. The law may require us to share data; we do only as it requires.
How long
As long as your account is open. What you delete (a post, a photo, a version, your whole account) is gone from qwertime at once; our backups are kept 14 days, so it is gone from them within 14 days. Logs are kept for a short while.
Your choices
- Change or delete what you posted, your profile and your mascot, on qwertime; turn reminder emails off in Settings; revoke AI tokens on Connect AI.
- Delete your account yourself: Settings → Delete account (everything of yours goes, at once).
- To get a copy of your data or correct it, write to hello@qwertime.com. We answer within 30 days.
- Where your law gives you more rights (to object, to complain to a data protection authority), you have them too.
Children
qwertime is not for children under 13. If one made an account, write to us and we delete it.
Changes
We may update this notice, and say so on qwertime when the changes matter.
