Privacy Policy

What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to https://dashmetry.lol, a website dedicated to the browser game Dashmetry, which runs directly on the homepage, along with a small number of closely related games listed alongside it. The site publishes 1 game category: Rhythm Platformer.

Playing games on this site never requires registering an account, logging in, or storing a password. All games run directly inside your web browser without downloading files or installing plugins. If a title stops working, it is deactivated so visitors are not left with a broken page. This policy explains what happens when you view pages, use search tools, leave comments, submit forms, or play embedded third-party titles on the website.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you browse the website, certain technical details are recorded automatically through first-party logs. Every page view records the path, the page type, the game identifier when one is viewed, a device class, the referring host, never the full referring URL, and a timestamp. These page views are recorded first-party, and no third party receives any of this data. Raw page-view rows are deleted after 3 days; only daily aggregate totals are kept beyond that time.

To count visitors without tracking individuals across days, the site uses a visitor counter that calculates a hash of a secret, the date, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string. Because the date is inside the hash calculation, the same person counts once per day and cannot be linked from one day to the next. No IP address is stored in any form in this counter.

Additionally, when a visitor likes or favourites a game, the IP address is stored so the same action is not counted twice.

Information You Send Us

You may choose to send information to us through on-site forms. The contact form stores the name, email address, subject, and message you submit. Along with the message, we store the sender IP address and browser user-agent string to rate-limit submissions to 3 per hour and to block abusive senders. Messages are readable by site administrators and are kept until manually deleted.

Every game page also carries a report form. Submitting a report stores the reason chosen from a fixed list, including copyright, the description written, an email address only if one is provided, the reporter IP address, and a timestamp. The IP address limits reports to three per item per address per day. Each report is stored with a status and is marked reviewed, resolved, or dismissed in the admin, which records which administrator handled it and when.

Comments You Post

When you leave a comment on a game page, the site stores the commenter name, an optional email address, the comment text, the IP address, and the browser user-agent string.

Nothing deletes comments on a fixed schedule: a comment stays until it is removed. If a game is deleted from the site, all comments on that game are deleted with that game. Please keep in mind that the name and text you post are publicly viewable on the corresponding game page.

Search Queries

When you use the search tool on this site, on-site searches are logged. The recorded information includes the search text, the browser user-agent string, the referring page, and the session identifier.

In those search logs, the IP address is stored only as an irreversible hash and never in readable form. This allows search patterns to be evaluated without preserving readable network addresses in the search database.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies are used on this site for it to function. The site sets its own session cookie so a visit holds together across pages. This session cookie is restricted to HTTP requests, sent over HTTPS where the connection allows, expires after 30 minutes of inactivity, and its identifier is replaced every 30 minutes.

In addition to our first-party session cookie, embedded third-party games may set their own cookies. If analytics or advertising services are enabled, they may also set cookies or similar identifiers of their own under their respective policies.

You can view, manage, and block cookies through your browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed.

Analytics

The site may use Google Analytics to measure traffic. When it does, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers, under Google's own policies.

These measurement tools help report general visitor traffic patterns across pages. We do not control Google's analytics technologies or Google's data processing. To learn more about how Google handles analytics data, you can consult Google's published privacy policies and opt-out tools.

Advertising

The site may show advertisements served by Google AdSense. When it does, Google may use cookies and similar identifiers to deliver them, under its own policies.

Google manages the delivery of these advertisements according to its own systems and rules. We do not control Google's advertising cookies, identifiers, or delivery mechanisms. Third-party advertising technologies are managed by Google under its published privacy terms.

You can review your ad preferences and manage settings related to Google advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page. You can also adjust your browser settings to reject or delete third-party cookies used by advertising services.

Third-Party Games and Embedded Content

Games on this site are embedded in iframes from third-party providers. The site is dedicated to the game Dashmetry, which runs on the homepage, with a small number of related games listed alongside it in 1 category: Rhythm Platformer. This site lists and embeds those games; it did not build, develop, or publish any of them.

When you play an embedded game, your browser connects directly to the third-party provider's servers. Those third-party providers set their own cookies and receive the visitor IP address. We do not control them or their data practices.

Every game runs directly in your browser without requiring a download, plugin, or user account. If a game stops working, it is deactivated. To learn how third-party providers handle your data, you should review the privacy policies of the respective game hosts.

Children’s Privacy

The audience of this site includes school-age children, so personal information is treated with extra care and nothing this site collects is used to build an advertising profile of a child.

There are no user accounts, logins, or stored passwords, and playing a game never requires registering. Submitting personal information through the contact form, report tool, or comments is entirely optional. Parents or guardians with questions regarding data submitted on the site can reach out using our contact address.

How Long We Keep Data

First-party session cookies expire after 30 minutes of inactivity, and their identifier is replaced every 30 minutes.

Raw page-view rows are deleted after 3 days; only daily aggregate totals are kept beyond that.

Contact form messages, along with sender IP addresses and user-agent strings, are kept until manually deleted.

Game reports and their administrative handling records are stored in the admin system.

Game comments remain stored until removed, and comments on a game are deleted with that game.

Your Rights and Choices

You have options regarding how your data is handled when you visit this website. You can configure your browser to reject cookies, remove stored data, or notify you when cookies are set. You can also choose not to submit optional forms, comments, or reports.

Please note that some site features, advertisements, analytics or embedded games may behave differently when browser storage or third-party scripts are restricted.

If you have submitted a comment, contact message, or report and wish to request its removal, you can send a request to our privacy mailbox. For third-party services like Google Analytics or Google AdSense, you can manage your preferences through Google's opt-out mechanisms and ad settings.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in our technical features, data handling practices, or third-party integrations. Any updates will be posted directly to this page. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to stay informed about how information is handled.
