Privacy Policy

This page explains what information Douft Web collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. If you do not agree with this policy, do not use the service.

Information we collect

• Account info: username, optional email, and an account password (stored as a salted hash).
• Session info: an essential session cookie used to keep you logged in.
• Content you provide: in-app messages and gameplay data needed for the experience (e.g., companions/items).
• Multiplayer presence: when multiplayer is enabled, we process and store your in-game presence (zone and approximate in-game position) to show nearby players.
• Chat: multiplayer chat messages are user-generated content and are stored on the server to provide recent chat history and operate the service.
• Security and access logs: your IP address (and network peer IP), requested path, method, status code, and user-agent.
• Service analytics: aggregate traffic stats and recent request history used for operations (for example, live connection counts and recent pages). This may include a coarse IP-based geo lookup (city/country/ISP) and does not provide precise location.
• On-device preferences: settings stored in your browser (for example, audio and tutorial progress).

How we use information

• Provide core app functionality (accounts, companions, gameplay state).
• Authenticate you and prevent abuse (sessions, rate-limiting/blocks where applicable).
• Operate and improve reliability (debugging errors, performance, and traffic patterns).
• Enable multiplayer features (show nearby players, deliver chat messages, and provide recent chat history).
• Protect the service (detect and investigate scanning, scraping, and malicious activity).

Multiplayer + chat

Douft Web includes multiplayer features, including a chat. Messages are user-generated content and may include offensive, harmful, or otherwise inappropriate text. Do not share personal information in chat.

Your username and companion name may be visible to other players in the same area. Multiplayer presence uses approximate in-game coordinates to render nearby players and their markers.

Consent

Before you can play, we ask you to accept or deny a multiplayer + chat notice. If you deny, you will not be able to play while multiplayer/chat is enabled. If you accept, multiplayer presence and chat will be available.

Cookies

Douft Web uses an essential session cookie to keep you signed in. This cookie is required for the app to work.

We do not run advertising trackers. We do use basic operational analytics and access logs to keep the service healthy.

Local storage

Douft Web stores some preferences in your browser (using local storage) to remember things like audio settings and tutorial progress. You can clear this at any time via your browser settings.

Sharing

Douft Web does not sell your personal information. Information may be processed by infrastructure providers used to deliver the service (for example, hosting, a reverse proxy/CDN). Access may also be provided to the site operator for moderation, support, and security.

Third-party services

We use infrastructure services to deliver the site (for example, a reverse proxy and CDNs). Those providers may receive basic connection data (like IP address and user-agent) as part of serving the site.

If enabled, we may use a third-party IP-to-geo lookup service to show coarse location (city/country/ISP) for security and operations.

Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for providing the service, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Security logs may be retained to investigate abuse.

Multiplayer presence records are short-lived and are used to show nearby players. Chat messages may be stored to provide chat history and operate the service; retention can vary.

Your choices

• You can avoid providing an email by leaving it blank during sign up.
• Registered accounts can download a copy of account data from Profile → Download my data.
• Guest sessions are temporary and cannot use data export.
• You can request account deletion by contacting the site operator.

Age and safety

If you are under the age required in your area to consent to online services, please use Douft Web with a parent or guardian. We recommend using chat respectfully and avoiding personal information.
