Privacy Policy
Doabarrelroll.co is a small, fan-made site that spins your screen. We don't ask you to create an account, and we don't need your name to let you do a barrel roll. This page explains, in plain language, what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
- No accounts, no sign-ups. You can use every spin tool without telling us who you are.
- Basic analytics only. We look at general usage, like which pages are popular, to improve the site.
- Your personal best stays on your device. Spin records are saved in your browser, not on our servers.
- Messages are used to reply. If you contact us, we use your email only to respond.
- We don't sell your personal information.
Information We Collect
We try to collect as little as possible. Here's what may be collected when you use the site.
Information You Give Us
If you send us a message through the contact form or by email, we receive:
- Your email address, so we can reply
- Your name, if you choose to include it
- The topic you select and the content of your message
- Any details you add, like the page you were on or the device you were using
You never have to provide this information to use the spin tool or read our guides.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we automatically receive some basic technical information when you visit, such as:
- The pages you view and how long you stay
- How you reached the site, like a search engine or a shared link
- Your general device type, browser, and screen size
- Your approximate region, based on general location data rather than your exact location
- How you use the spin tool, like the spin count you choose, the speed you pick, and whether you share a link
We use this information in a summarized form to understand how the site is used. We don't use it to figure out who you are.
Information Stored on Your Device
Some features save small bits of information in your own browser, not on our servers:
- Your personal best on the million-spin page
- Your speed preference, if the tool remembers it between visits
This information stays on your device. You can delete it anytime by clearing your browser's site data.
Your Reduced-Motion Setting
Our pages check whether your device prefers reduced motion so we can avoid spinning anything until you choose to. Your browser handles this check. We don't store or collect that setting.
Cookies and Analytics
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that websites save in your browser. Similar tools, like local storage, work in much the same way. They help sites remember things and measure how pages are used.
How We Use Them
- To make the site work. For example, to remember your spin preferences on your device.
- To understand usage. We use Google Analytics 4 (Google Privacy Policy ↗) to see which pages people visit, which spin counts are most popular, and whether the tool works smoothly. This helps us fix problems and decide what to build next.
We look at analytics data in summarized reports, like "how many people finished the 200-spin challenge this week." We don't use it to track you personally.
Shared Links
When you share a spin, the link may include a small tag, such as the spin count or a note that it was shared. This tells us that sharing is working. It doesn't contain your name, email, or any personal details.
Contact Form and Email Messages
When you contact us, we use your message to read it, reply to you, and fix any bugs or mistakes you report. We may also use it to improve the site, like adding a feature you suggested.
- We only use your email to reply. We won't add you to a mailing list or send you marketing messages.
- We keep messages only as long as we need them. Once your question is answered or your bug is fixed, we delete old messages from time to time.
- Please don't send sensitive information. That includes passwords, payment details, or anything you'd want to keep private.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Run the spin tool and keep every page working properly
- Reply to your messages, bug reports, and corrections
- Understand which pages and features people enjoy
- Fix bugs and improve speed, accessibility, and mobile support
- Protect the site from spam, abuse, and security threats
- Show ads, if we add them in the future, as explained below
What we don't do:
- We don't sell your personal information.
- We don't ask for your name, age, or location to use the site.
- We don't use your contact message for anything other than helping you and improving the site.
Third-Party Services
Like most websites, we rely on a few outside services to run the site. These services may process limited information on our behalf.
Services We Use
- Website hosting (Cloudflare Pages / Netlify): Delivers the pages to your browser and may keep basic server logs, like IP addresses and request times, for security and performance.
- Analytics (Google Analytics 4): Helps us understand how the site is used, as explained above.
- Email and contact form (Gmail): Helps us receive and reply to your messages.
Future Advertising & Links to Other Sites
We may add family-friendly ads in the future to help cover the cost of running the site, and we'll update this policy and ask for consent where required before advertising cookies go live. Our guides also link to external websites (such as official game pages, Modrinth, CurseForge, or Wikipedia); once you leave doabarrelroll.co, their privacy policies apply.
Your Choices
- Use the site without sharing personal details. No account or sign-up is ever needed.
- Clear your browser data. Delete cookies and site data in your browser settings to remove your personal best, preferences, and analytics cookies.
- Block or limit cookies. Most browsers let you block cookies or warn you before they're saved. The spin tool still works.
- Use privacy tools. Private browsing windows, tracker blockers, and browser privacy settings can limit analytics.
- Ask about your messages. Email us to ask what we have from your contact messages, or to request that we delete them.
Children's Privacy
Lots of students enjoy a quick barrel roll, and we want the site to be a safe place for everyone. The spin tool and guides work without anyone sharing personal information. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you're under 13, please ask a parent or guardian before sending us a message. If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has sent us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
How We Protect Information
We take reasonable steps to keep information safe. The site runs on a secure HTTPS connection, we collect as little as we can, and we limit access to our inbox and analytics accounts. That said, no website or online service is completely secure, which is one more reason we ask you not to send sensitive details in your messages.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site grows. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we'll also add a short note on the site so you don't miss it.
Questions About Privacy?
If you have a question about this policy, want to ask what information we have, or would like us to delete your messages, get in touch. Please mention "Privacy" in your subject line or choose "Something else" as the topic on our contact form.
Thanks for spinning with us. We keep things simple so you can focus on the fun part.
