Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Dodo Play ("we", "us", "this site", accessible at thedodoplay.com) handles information when you use the site. We've tried to write it in plain language rather than dense legal boilerplate.

1. How the tools themselves work

Almost every calculator, converter and generator on this site runs entirely in your own browser using JavaScript. The numbers, text or files you enter into a tool (for example, text pasted into the Word Counter, or an amount entered into the GST Calculator) are processed locally on your device and are not transmitted to, or stored on, our servers, unless a specific tool explicitly says otherwise.

2. Information we may collect automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use may automatically collect standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location derived from your IP address. This is standard web server and analytics log data used to understand traffic and improve the site โ€” it is not linked to your name or contact details unless you separately provide them (for example, by emailing us).

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may use:

  • Essential/functional cookies โ€” for example, to remember your dark/light theme preference. These don't track you across other websites.
  • Analytics cookies โ€” to understand aggregate traffic patterns (e.g. via a service like Google Analytics), if enabled.
  • Advertising cookies โ€” if and when this site displays advertising (for example through Google AdSense), Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can control ad personalization through Google's Ad Settings, and by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices to opt out of participating vendors' personalized advertising.

You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site functionality (like theme preferences) but will not prevent the calculators from working.

4. Third-party services

Certain tools (such as the QR Code and Barcode generators) load a small, well-known open-source JavaScript library from a public content delivery network (CDN) to perform the generation in your browser. Loading these scripts may expose your IP address to that CDN provider in the same way loading any web resource does. We do not control third-party CDN or advertising providers' own data practices โ€” please refer to their respective privacy policies.

5. Contact forms and email

If you email us at contact@thedodoplay.com, we will have access to your email address and whatever information you choose to include in your message. We use this only to respond to you and will not sell or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information (for example, via email), please contact us and we will delete it.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you (which, given how little we collect, is generally limited to email correspondence). To exercise these rights, contact contact@thedodoplay.com.

8. Data security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect any information we do handle, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of India. Any disputes relating to this policy shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the site grows (for example, when advertising is introduced). Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.

11. Contact

Questions about this policy can be sent to contact@thedodoplay.com, which also serves as our designated grievance/data contact.
