Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Player Privacy

At Free Dinosaur Game (freedinosaurgame.com), we believe games should be immediate, entertaining, and completely respectful of your digital privacy. Unlike many ad-heavy gaming portals that harvest sensitive personal information, tracking cookies, and behavioral data, our website is engineered from the ground up on a privacy-first, client-side architecture.

You can enjoy the complete Dinosaur Game experience without creating an account, without entering an email address, without providing phone numbers, and without connecting third-party social media profiles.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We explicitly do not collect, process, or sell any of the following categories of personal data:

• No Real Names or Identifiers: We do not ask for or store your legal name, physical address, or phone number.
• No Payment or Financial Data: The game is 100% free; no credit cards, billing addresses, or payment credentials are ever accepted or processed.
• No Social Graph or Contacts: We do not integrate tracking SDKs that inspect your address book, social networks, or browsing history.
• No Biometric or Precise Location Data: We do not track your precise GPS coordinates.

3. How Local Storage (HTML5 localStorage) Is Used

To provide persistent features like your personal high scores, game difficulty preference, audio settings, and custom runner pseudonym, the game stores small JSON key-value pairs directly in your browser's local memory (localStorage).

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to submit a run. You retain complete control over this local data: you can clear it anytime by clicking the "Reset Data" button in your Player Profile modal or by clearing your browser cache and cookies.

4. Server Logs & Edge Infrastructure

When accessing freedinosaurgame.com, our hosting and content delivery network (CDN) servers automatically record standard, non-identifying technical web requests. These transient logs may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address (used solely for geolocation-based routing and DDoS mitigation).
• Browser type, device classification, and operating system version.
• HTTP request headers, referrer URL, and timestamp of access.

These logs are utilized strictly for network performance monitoring, system diagnostics, and defending our infrastructure against automated malicious traffic. They are never correlated with individual identities.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We do not use persistent advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels (such as Meta Pixel or cross-site tracking beacons), or invasive fingerprinting scripts. If third-party services such as Google Fonts or CDNs are contacted for static assets, they handle requests according to their respective privacy protocols.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Protecting young runners is critically important to us. Free Dinosaur Game is family-friendly, educational, and universally accessible. In strict compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the European Union).

7. Your Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you possess specific legal rights concerning your data:

• Right of Deletion: You can delete all locally stored game scores and preferences at any moment via your profile modal.
• Right of Non-Discrimination: All game mechanics, features, and leaderboard viewing rights remain completely free and fully accessible.
• Right to Opt-Out: Because we do not sell or monetize personal data, no opt-out of data sales is necessary.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may occasionally revise this Privacy Policy to reflect technical updates, security upgrades, or legal requirements. The updated date at the top of this document will always denote the latest version.
