Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Daopedia collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit our website, play the browser games we publish, use our pages, or contact us. Daopedia is a cozy game portal where we create and share browser games, and we aim to keep privacy practices clear, minimal, and respectful.
Scope and Controller
This Privacy Policy applies to the Daopedia website, including our game posts, pages, contact form, and related site features. References to "we", "us", or "our" mean Daopedia as the website responsible for handling information collected through this site.
We follow applicable data protection principles and try to honor privacy rights that may apply based on your location. If local rules grant additional rights, we will respond to reasonable requests as described in this policy.
Key Terms We Use
To make this policy easier to understand, we use a few common terms throughout the page.
- Personal Data: information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you, such as an email address submitted through our contact form.
- Usage Data: technical information collected automatically when you visit, browse, or play games on the site.
- Device: a computer, phone, tablet, or similar tool used to access Daopedia.
- Service: the Daopedia website, including our game pages, posts, contact page, sitemap, and other features.
- Service Provider: a trusted third party that helps operate, secure, analyze, or monetize the website.
Information We Collect
We collect only the information needed to operate and improve Daopedia. When you contact us, you may provide Personal Data such as your name, email address, and message content. We use that information to respond to your inquiry and manage communication.
We may also collect Usage Data automatically. This can include your IP address, general location inferred from IP, browser type, device type, pages visited, game pages opened, timestamps, referring pages, and diagnostic information related to performance, security, and reliability.
Game Play and Local Browser Data
Some games published on Daopedia may use your browser's local storage, session storage, or similar browser-based features to remember game progress, settings, sound preferences, saved scores, pause states, or display preferences. This kind of data is usually stored on your own device and is used to make the game experience work more smoothly.
You can clear this data through your browser settings. If you clear local data, reset your browser, or use a private browsing mode, some game progress or preferences may be lost.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, support basic site functions, understand how visitors use Daopedia, and help provide advertising or analytics services. In regions where consent is required, a banner or settings panel may allow you to manage certain categories, such as analytics or advertising.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. If you block or delete some cookies, certain features may not work as intended, but basic access to the website should remain available.
How We Use Information
We use information to operate Daopedia, publish and maintain our browser games, respond to messages, improve page performance, protect the site from abuse, and understand which games or pages are useful to visitors.
We do not sell your Personal Data. When we work with service providers, we expect them to protect the information they process and use it only for the services they provide to us.
Legal Bases Where Applicable
Where privacy law requires a legal basis for processing Personal Data, we may rely on your consent, our legitimate interests in operating a safe and useful website, compliance with legal obligations, or the need to respond to your requests.
If we rely on consent, you may withdraw it through available controls, such as cookie settings where offered, or by contacting us through our contact page.
Advertising and Analytics Partners
Daopedia may use advertising and analytics partners to help us understand aggregated visitor activity, measure page performance, and support the website through ads. These partners may collect or receive Usage Data, cookies, or similar identifiers according to their own policies and applicable rules.
Ad personalization settings, browser controls, regional consent tools, and privacy preferences may limit certain data uses. Where consent is required for specific cookies or identifiers, we aim to request and respect those choices through available tools.
Data Sharing
We share Personal Data only when necessary. This may include sharing with service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, advertising, contact form delivery, or website maintenance.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, to investigate misuse, to prevent harm, or as part of a business restructuring, merger, or transfer of site assets. We may share aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you.
Data Retention
We keep Personal Data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to requests, maintaining site integrity, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and improving our services.
Usage Data used for analytics, diagnostics, or security may be kept for shorter or longer periods depending on operational needs, legal requirements, and provider settings.
International Transfers
Information may be processed in locations outside your city, province, or country because websites, hosting, analytics, advertising, and security services often operate across borders.
Where cross-border handling occurs, we aim to use reasonable safeguards such as access controls, provider agreements, and privacy-protective practices consistent with applicable requirements.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. No online system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, but we work to reduce risk and respond to issues responsibly.
You can also help protect your information by keeping your device and browser updated, using secure networks when possible, and being careful when sharing personal details through any website form.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or request a copy of certain Personal Data. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing depends on consent.
To make a privacy request, contact us through our contact page. We may need to verify your request before responding, and we will try to respond within a reasonable time according to applicable laws.
Children's Privacy
Daopedia is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 13.
If you believe a child has provided Personal Data through our site, please contact us through our contact page so we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
Do Not Track and Regional Signals
Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signals. Because standards and requirements can vary, our response to these signals may depend on available tools, applicable laws, and the technology used by our service providers.
Where feasible and required, we try to treat recognized privacy signals as requests to limit certain data uses or map them to available preference settings.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new games, new features, website improvements, service provider changes, or legal requirements. When changes are made, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this page from time to time so you understand how information is collected, used, and protected while using Daopedia.
