1. What Stays on Your Device (Local Storage)
QwertyDash runs entirely inside your browser. To preserve your game progression, achievements, and interface
settings across sessions, the game stores data locally on your device via localStorage:
qwertydash_records: High scores, longest streaks, total words cleared, checkpoint unlocks, and
last-run statistics across Pure, Resume Best, Survival, and Practice modes.qwertydash_theme: Your chosen theme (Light, Dark, System, or Psychedelic).qwertydash_sound: Sound effects and procedural rave synthesizer toggle (On / Off).qwertydash_fullscreen: Your fullscreen launch preference.
This data never leaves your browser and is never transmitted to our servers or third parties. You can erase all
saved scores and checkpoints at any time by clicking "reset records" at the bottom-left of the
game screen or by clearing your browser's site data.
2. Analytics & Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager (container ID GTM-WRGG7FWL) with Google Analytics to collect aggregate,
privacy-respecting website usage data.
What Google Tag Manager may process:
- Non-identifying technical metadata (browser type, operating system, screen dimensions, preferred language).
- Aggregate engagement metrics (page visits, session length, basic interface interactions).
- Approximate geographic location (country or metropolitan area, determined via masked/anonymized IP
addresses).
We do not use advertising features, remarketing tags, or cross-domain tracking. For more details on how Google
processes analytics data, review Google's Privacy & Terms.
3. Cookies & Tracking Prevention
Google Tag Manager / Analytics may set first-party cookies (such as _ga or _ga_*) to
distinguish unique visitor sessions over time.
You can easily control or block these cookies:
- Clear or block cookies via your browser's privacy settings.
- Use privacy-enhancing browser extensions (such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger) or enable Global Privacy
Control (GPC) / Do Not Track.
- Install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
QwertyDash is 100% playable and functional with all cookies and tracking scripts blocked. Core
gameplay, audio, and visual modes never require tracking.
4. Your Rights Under GDPR, CCPA & Privacy Laws
Under international privacy regulations (such as the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and California CCPA/CPRA):
- Legal Basis: Aggregated site analytics are processed under legitimate interest in
maintaining and improving the game.
- Rights of Access & Erasure: Because we do not store names, user accounts, emails, or
personal databases, we have no identifiable records tied to you.
