Privacy Policy – Dondozo

1. Overview & Commitment to User Privacy

Dondozo Tools (https://dondozo.net/) is committed to safeguarding the privacy of visitors who use our battle calculators, team planners, and reference guides. We operate on a privacy-first principle: our calculators perform computations client-side in your web browser. We do not require registration, we do not monetize personal data, and we do not sell or trade user information.

2. Information We Collect

When accessing Dondozo Tools, minimal technical data is processed:

Server Log Data: Like most standard web servers, our hosting provider records standard access logs, including your anonymized IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, referring URL, and the timestamp of your request. This data is utilized solely for technical maintenance, DDoS prevention, and rate-limiting security.
Contact & Feedback Data: If you voluntarily submit an inquiry through our contact or feedback form, we collect the name, email address, message body, and IP address provided solely to respond to your inquiry. We retain this information only as long as necessary to address your feedback.
Client-Side Storage: Our interactive calculators (such as the Moveset Builder and Damage Calculator) may store your active configuration or theme preferences locally in your web browser using HTML5 localStorage or session storage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Dondozo Tools does not utilize third-party advertising tracking cookies, behavioral profiling cookies, or invasive fingerprinting scripts. We do not load Google Fonts or third-party tracking pixels. Only strictly necessary session tokens or CSRF security nonces are utilized to facilitate secure form submissions.

4. Third-Party Links & External Resources

Our guides and tool documentation may include outbound links to reputable third-party competitive resources, such as Pokémon Showdown, Smogon University, Serebii, or Bulbapedia. We do not govern the privacy practices or content of external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

5. Children's Online Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Dondozo Tools provides mathematical utility calculators for general competitive audiences. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information via a contact submission, please reach out to us so we can immediately purge the record.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to request confirmation of whether we hold any personal data relating to you, request access to or deletion of that data, or object to processing. Because we do not maintain user accounts or tracking profiles, we typically hold zero identifiable data other than transient server access logs.
