Privacy Policy
How FangDash collects, uses, and protects your data — Twitch profile info, game scores, Cloudflare hosting logs, and GDPR account deletion
Effective Date: March 2, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how FangDash ("we", "us", "our"), a project of MrDemonWolf, Inc., collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our game and related services at fangdash.mrdemonwolf.workers.dev (the "Service").
FangDash runs no third-party analytics, ad networks, or tracking pixels — no Google Analytics, no gtag, no cross-site advertising cookies. The only data we hold is what you see described below.
Information We Collect
Account Information
You can play solo without an account. When you sign in with Twitch OAuth to save progress and race others, we receive and store:
- Your Twitch username (display name)
- Your Twitch user ID (unique identifier)
- Your Twitch profile avatar URL
- Your email address (provided by Twitch during authentication)
We do not access your follower list, subscription status, stream data, or any other Twitch data beyond the basic profile fields required for authentication.
Game Data
When you are signed in, we store your gameplay progress:
- Game scores, distances traveled, and run durations
- Achievement progress and unlock timestamps
- Currently equipped wolf skin and unlocked skins
- Multiplayer race history, results, and placements
- Aggregate stats: total games played, total distance, highest score, and level/XP
Scores are validated server-side by anti-cheat checks. Runs that fail validation are stored but grant no XP, stats, or unlocks.
Technical Data
We automatically collect standard hosting data through our infrastructure provider, Cloudflare:
- IP address (processed by Cloudflare for security and routing)
- Browser type and version
- Device type and general request metadata
- General geographic region (country level)
- Request timestamps and response times
This is ordinary web-server and CDN log data used to serve the app securely and defend against abuse. We do not build advertising or behavioral profiles from it.
Cookies and Local Storage
FangDash uses only the storage needed to keep you signed in and remember your preferences:
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication cookie | Keeps you signed in (Better Auth session) | Session |
| Local storage | UI preferences, audio volume, tutorial state | Persistent |
We do not use analytics or advertising cookies. Audio settings are stored locally in your browser under the keys fangdash_volume and fangdash_muted.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide the game — Authenticate your account, save scores, track achievements and skins, and enable multiplayer races
- Display your identity — Show your username and avatar on leaderboards and in races
- Prevent cheating — Validate score submissions server-side with anti-cheat checks and per-run replay protection
- Keep the Service healthy — Review aggregate server metrics from Cloudflare and community feedback to fix bugs and improve performance
- Communicate — Respond to support requests via Discord or GitHub
