Legal & Policies
This page briefly explains how NPCRoll works from a legal, privacy, and licensing standpoint.
1. Terms of Service
1.1. Purpose of the Service
NPCRoll is a tool for generating non-player characters ("NPCs") for tabletop roleplaying games compatible with 5e rules. The Service provides names, descriptions, hooks, and other narrative details to help game masters run their campaigns or players be inspired for their next character backstory.
1.2. Use of Generated Content
You may use, copy, adapt, and modify the NPCs generated by NPCRoll for personal or commercial tabletop use, including paid games, livestreaming, actual plays, and published adventures. No attribution is required, but it's always appreciated.
1.3. Acceptable Use
By using NPCRoll, you agree not to:
- use the Service for unlawful purposes or to violate applicable laws;
- attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure;
- perform automated scraping or send excessive automated requests that may degrade performance for other users.
1.4. "As-Is" Disclaimer
NPCRoll is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from security vulnerabilities. Generated content may contain mistakes, inconsistencies, or overlaps with existing fictional works purely by coincidence.
1.5. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, NPCRoll shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or data, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.
1.6. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of the Service after those changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
2. Privacy Policy
2.1. Data We Collect
NPCRoll does not automatically collect personally identifiable information about you. We do not require an account or login, and we do not use advertising or tracking cookies at this time.
The only personal data we may receive is the information you voluntarily submit through our feedback form, such as your message and your email address (if you choose to provide it).
2.2. How We Use Your Data
Information submitted through the feedback form is used solely to:
- read and evaluate your feedback;
- optionally contact you if you requested a reply or expressed interest in future updates or testing.
We do not sell, rent, or share this data with third parties for marketing purposes.
2.3. Third-Party Services
Our feedback form is handled by FormSubmit, which forwards your message to our email inbox. FormSubmit acts as a data processor on our behalf. Their own privacy practices are described in their documentation.
2.4. Data Retention
Feedback messages and any associated email addresses are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to review your message and, if applicable, respond to you. We may periodically clean or delete old feedback entries.
2.5. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or another region with similar data protection laws, you may have the right to:
- request access to the personal data you submitted;
- ask for correction or deletion of that data;
- withdraw your consent to our processing of that data;
- lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been violated.
To exercise these rights, you can contact us at gianosdm@gmail.com.
2.6. Children's Privacy
NPCRoll is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently received such data, please contact us and we will delete it.
2.7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
