Effective date: October 7, 2026
When you use chromedino.com (the “Site”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), we may process personal data about you. We care about your privacy and handle that data with appropriate care. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it — please read it carefully.
We process personal data in line with the data-protection laws that apply to you, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). In practice, this means we:
This policy works alongside our Terms of Use.
chromedino.com is run as an independently operated website, and the operator acts as the data controller responsible for the processing described here. If anything in this policy is unclear, or you want to exercise any of your rights, you can reach us at [email protected].
By using the Site and playing our games, we collect and process certain technical and behavioral data for editorial and performance analytics purposes. All identifiers are completely anonymous and contain no personal data (such as real names, email addresses, or phone numbers). Depending on how you interact with the Site, this includes:
We use the data described above for the following purposes:
Beyond the advertising shown on the Site, we may occasionally tell you about new features or games via our social media channels.
The Site is a general-audience game, played by people of all ages. It is not designed for or directed at children under the age of 13 (under 16 in the European Economic Area and the UK), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. We do not ask for ages, accounts, email addresses, or real names.
Our page for teachers at chromedino.com/classroom offers an embeddable version of the game (chromedino.com/embed/) for use in schools and learning platforms. The embedded version shows no advertising, loads no analytics or tracking scripts, does not submit scores to the public leaderboard, and never asks for a nickname. The only thing it remembers is the best score, stored locally in the player's own browser.
The leaderboard on the main Site is optional. We ask every player not to use a real name as a nickname, and we remove nicknames that identify a person when we become aware of them.
If you choose to submit a score to a public leaderboard, the nickname you enter is shown publicly and may be visible to anyone on the internet alongside your score. Please avoid using your real name or any other identifying detail as your nickname. Submitting a score is entirely optional — you can play the Site without ever entering a nickname.
To keep the leaderboard fair, each entry is stored together with the IP address and the anonymous owner key described in Section 3. Scores that are physically impossible for the game are hidden from public tables. You can ask us to remove any entry submitted under your nickname by emailing [email protected].
We use cookies on the Site, and cookies are also placed by third parties we work with. The first time visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK and Switzerland arrive, a consent message provided by Google, a certified consent management platform, asks for permission to use cookies and personal data for advertising. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing the cookies for chromedino.com; the consent message will then appear again on your next visit.
You can also disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may then stop working properly.
We have agreements with the third parties who set cookies through the Site, but we do not fully control what those providers do with the cookies they place. For details, please review their own privacy policies, which may change from time to time. The cookies we use fall into these categories:
The Site shows third-party advertisements, and those advertisers may store personal data to personalize the ads you see. Specifically:
The Site does not embed games from other publishers. We rely on a small number of service providers to run it: Google (advertising and analytics, see Sections 8 and 10) and Cloudflare (content delivery and protection against abuse). Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy: Google, Cloudflare.
We use both our internal first-party analytics system and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the Site and play our games, generating aggregated statistical summaries for editorial and reporting purposes.
First-party analytics: our own system records anonymous gameplay events — scores, run durations, jumps, cause of death, device type, browser, country, and time-zone offset — under a random identifier stored in your browser. It does not record names, email addresses or IP addresses, is never used for advertising, and is never shared with advertisers. We use it only to measure, improve and protect the game (for example, to detect impossible scores) and to publish aggregated statistics about how the game is played. If you prefer not to be included, you can clear or block site data for chromedino.com in your browser.
We have accepted Google's data-processing terms for GA4, do not permit Google to utilize Analytics data for unrelated advertising services, and ensure IP addresses are anonymized. You can also prevent Google Analytics from recording and processing your data by installing the opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
chromedino.com does not sell your personal data. We share data only where it is necessary to provide the Site or where the law requires it. When another company processes data on our behalf, we put a data-processing agreement in place to ensure your information is handled with the same level of security and privacy. chromedino.com remains responsible for that processing.
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy:
We will keep data longer only where a legal obligation requires it.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to reduce the risk of misuse of, or unauthorized access to, personal data.
You can contact us at any time with questions about this policy or to review, correct, or delete your personal data. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
To prevent abuse, we may ask you to verify your identity before we act on a request. For data linked to a cookie, we may ask you to send a copy of the relevant cookie, which you can find in your browser settings.
If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we have not handled your data properly, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection supervisory authority.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to request access to or deletion of that information, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined under California law. We do not sell your personal information. We will never discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To make a request, contact us at [email protected].
This policy does not apply to third-party websites linked from the Site. We cannot guarantee that those third parties handle your personal data securely or carefully, so we recommend reading their privacy policies before using them.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We recommend reviewing it periodically so you stay aware of any changes. Significant updates will be reflected by a revised “Effective date” at the top of this page.
