What this site keeps

Nothing to sign up for

There is no account to make and nothing to sign in to. The site has no analytics, no advertising and no tracking pixels, and no form on it sends anything to us.

What stays in your browser

Two parts of the site remember one thing each, in your own browser’s storage, and never send it anywhere. The worlds pages remember the address of the avatar you choose under “Your avatar”, so you do not have to paste it again. The try world remembers that you have seen its controls guide.

You can remove both at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

What the home page loads

The home page loads its pictures, its font, its 3D scene and its avatars from openspatials.com itself. It reads nothing from other sites and sends nothing back.

What the tools and the worlds pages read

The website tools run in your browser. When you give a tool the address of a world or an avatar, your browser reads that world’s or avatar’s public files from the site that serves them, and that site sees an ordinary request from you. A model you open in the looks tool stays in your browser.

The worlds pages check each listed world live: your browser reads the world’s public profile from the world’s own site.

Entering a world

When you enter a world or walk through a portal, you go to that world’s own site. Its own privacy terms apply there.

Registering a world

You register a world on GitHub, with a pull request from your own GitHub account. GitHub’s terms apply there, and the listing you add is public. OpenSpatials never sees your GitHub sign-in.

Who serves the site

Cloudflare Pages serves the site. To deliver the pages and protect them from abuse, Cloudflare handles the standard details of each request, such as your IP address, under its own terms. Our pages do not read those details.
