Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13 May 2025
1 Who We Are
DOStats (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a personal, non‑commercial hobby project run by an individual DarkOrbit player. The Site at dostats.info publishes daily snapshots of DarkOrbit's public leaderboards. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Bigpoint GmbH, the developer of DarkOrbit.
2 What Information We Display and Collect
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Public game data | In‑game nickname, clan tag, server, rank, experience points and other leaderboard metrics | Automatically scraped once per day from DarkOrbit's publicly visible leaderboards |
| Technical logs | IP address, time‑stamp, browser type, error codes | Recorded automatically by our web‑server and security software |
| Voluntary messages | Your e‑mail address, Discord tag and the content of any message you send us | Provided directly by you |
We do not require you to create an account, nor do we intentionally collect any real‑world personal identifiers.
3 How We Use This Information
- Publish and update leaderboard tables.
- Monitor uptime, fix bugs and protect the Site from abuse.
- Respond to feedback or bug reports you send us.
We never sell or rent any data and we do not run personalised advertising.
4 Cookies
| Type | Purpose | Lifespan | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential session cookie | Remember your chosen server/page | Ends when you close your browser | Via browser settings |
| Google Analytics cookie | Count visits and generate aggregated traffic statistics | Up to 1 year | Disabled by default; you can opt in via the banner |
5 Data Sharing
We share data only with:
- Hosting provider: OVH SAS (dedicated server in an EU data centre).
- Analytics provider: Google Analytics (aggregated site‑usage statistics).
- Law‑enforcement authorities if we are legally required to do so.
All providers act under our instructions and must protect the data.
6 Removing Your Nickname
The statistics we display come straight from DarkOrbit's public leaderboards where your nickname is already visible. For that reason we normally do not remove individual names—doing so would break the integrity of historical charts. If you believe there is a compelling reason to hide your nickname here, contact us (see § 9) and we will review the request on a case‑by‑case basis.
7 Security Measures
We secure the Site with HTTPS/TLS encryption, firewalling, regular security updates and server‑log monitoring to help prevent unauthorised access, alteration or deletion of data.
8 Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The latest version is always available at dostats.info/privacy, and the “Last updated” date tells you when it changed. If the changes are material we will place a short notice on the Site.
