Privacy policy

How donged handles data: no accounts, no personal information collected, and how Google Analytics and Google AdSense use cookies on this site.

What donged collects

donged has no accounts and no sign-in. It does not ask for your name, email address, or any other personal information, and it does not collect any. The home run data it shows comes from the public MLB Stats API and is about players, not about you.

The first time you open donged it generates a random device ID and stores it in your browser. Your settings — the players you follow, your home team, and your notification preferences — are saved against that ID so they survive a reload and follow you between sessions on the same device. The ID is a random string. It is not tied to your name, your email address, or any Google or social account, and donged has no way to work out who you are from it. Clearing your browser storage discards the ID and orphans the settings saved against it.

Advertising

donged shows ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure those ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, and opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices. More on how Google uses data when you use its partners’ sites is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Analytics

donged uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages get read. It records the page you are on, roughly where in the world you are, and what kind of device and browser you used, against a random identifier stored in a cookie. It is not tied to a name, an email address, or anything else that identifies you, and donged does not send Google any information about you beyond what is described here.

You can opt out on every site that uses it with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, and most browsers can block the cookie outright.

Server logs

donged’s servers keep ordinary web request logs — IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp — for security and debugging. They are not used to build a profile of you and are not sold or shared.

Children

donged is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from them.
