Privacy & Terms

About this policy

This policy explains how DA Overlord handles information when you use our public game guides, fan games, tools, accounts and community features at daoverlord.com. You can browse public guides and play the fan games without creating an account.

Accounts and information you provide

If you create an account, we store your username, a password hash used to verify your password, account preferences and security information needed to manage sign-ins. Optional online features store the information you submit, such as saved-game backups and favourite game selections.

Wiki comments are public. Your comment, username and posting time can be read by other visitors. You can delete your own comments using the comment controls. Avoid including private information in comments or in-game save names.

Game saves and browser storage

Fan games and tools use browser storage, including local storage and IndexedDB, for game progress, preferences and saved looks. Local play and local saves do not require an account. Exported save files are downloaded to your device.

Online backups are optional. When you choose to upload a backup, its contents and the name you give it are stored with your account so you can retrieve it later. Online backups are not public. Clearing browser storage removes local information but does not delete backups you have uploaded.

Gameplay measurements

Our fan games send first-party gameplay measurements such as successful loads, active play time, progress, battle or run outcomes, and the in-game name of the save you play. Random browser, session and save identifiers help distinguish these records. They are not verified real-world identities.

These measurements help us understand how the games are used and where players encounter difficulties. The gameplay collector does not store your account username, password, chat or complete saved-game contents. Raw gameplay events expire after 90 days; session summaries and progress records may be kept longer.

Website visitor measurements

Our own lightweight analytics measure public page views, approximate visitors and visits, referrer domains, browser and device categories, and visitors active in the last five minutes. A local IP lookup estimates country and state or province; visitor analytics keep only these broad location fields, never city, coordinates or precise location. Your address is not sent to a geolocation service. The owner can view these reports in site administration.

Visitor analytics set no tracking cookies and use no browser storage. Existing sign-in cookies are checked only to honour administrator tracking preferences; signed-in administrator visits are excluded by default. A stable anonymous identifier derived from your IP address counts it once across browsers, devices and days within the selected report period; people sharing an IP address count together. Browser information is used only for broad categories and automated-traffic filtering. The analytics database does not store your IP address, full browser user-agent, account identity, URL query strings or referrer page paths. Visitor records expire after 90 days. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals disable this collection.

Cookies, technical information and security

We use necessary cookies for sign-in, remembered sign-in and protection against forged requests. Browser storage also remembers preferences and the random identifiers used by the fan games. Blocking cookies or clearing site data may sign you out or remove local saves and settings.

Our hosting systems receive technical information when your browser requests a page or file, including your IP address, request time, requested path and browser user-agent. Access and error logs, account security records and limited abuse-prevention records help us operate the website, investigate problems and prevent misuse.

Google advertising

Google advertising is not currently enabled. We are preparing to use Google AdSense on selected public pages. This policy does not enable ads or change your advertising choices.

Where Google ads are enabled, Google and its advertising partners may place or read cookies, use web beacons or similar technologies, and process information such as your IP address, browser and device information, page URL and ad interactions. This information can be used to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud and, where permitted by your choices and applicable rules, personalise advertising.

Read how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy. You can manage Google ad personalisation through My Ad Center. Turning off personalisation does not necessarily stop all advertising or measurement.

If an advertising consent or privacy-choice message is offered on a page, use its controls to make or change your choices. Where consent is required, advertising must respect that choice. We do not send your password or saved-game backup contents to Google for advertising.

Sharing and external services

Website hosting and service providers process information needed to deliver and protect the site. Information you post publicly is available to other visitors. We may also disclose information when required by law or when necessary to investigate abuse and protect the site or its users.

Links to community resources and other websites take you to services with their own privacy policies. Google and other external providers may process information in countries different from your own.

Retention and your choices

Local information remains on your device until you remove it through the game or tool, clear site data, or your browser removes it. Account information and uploaded backups are kept to provide the features you use, until removed or no longer needed. Security, abuse-prevention and operational records may be retained as needed for those purposes or legal obligations.

You can change your password and favourite selections, manage online backups, delete your own comments, and clear local site data using the available controls. Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights to request access, correction or deletion of personal information, or to object to certain uses. We may need to verify that a request concerns your own account. Do not send your password with a request.

Privacy questions

For questions about this policy or a request concerning your information, email contact@daoverlord.com. Include enough information to identify the account or feature involved, but do not send passwords or other secrets.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when site features or data practices change. The date at the top identifies the latest update.

Using DA Overlord

These terms apply to the public guides, fan games, tools, accounts and community features at daoverlord.com. By using these features, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using them.

DA Overlord is an independent fan website. It is not an official service of the games or publishers featured here, and their inclusion does not imply their endorsement.

Accounts and responsible use

Keep your password private and use only accounts and information you are authorised to access. You are responsible for how you use your account. Contact us if you believe someone else has gained access to it.

Do not use the site for unlawful activity, threats, harassment, spam or impersonation. Do not upload malicious files, interfere with the service, bypass access restrictions or try to access another person's private information. Follow the rules of any third-party game or service you use alongside our tools.

Comments and other submissions

You keep any rights you have in the material you submit. By submitting it, you give DA Overlord permission to store, process and display it as needed to provide the feature you chose. For example, comments are shown publicly, while online save backups are kept for your account.

Submit only material you are allowed to share. Do not post someone else's private information or material that infringes their rights. We may remove public submissions that contain spam, harassment, unlawful material or other misuse.

Game content and external links

Game names, artwork and other third-party materials belong to their respective owners. A game's Credits page identifies sources where available. Using this site does not transfer ownership of those materials or override a separately stated licence.

External websites and services have their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content or availability.

Availability, accuracy and saved progress

Guides can contain mistakes, and fan games and tools may change or become unavailable. We do not promise uninterrupted service, error-free information or permanent preservation of progress. Keep exported copies of saves that matter to you; browser storage and online backups can be lost.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site is provided as is and as available, without warranties. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights, remedies or responsibilities that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

Access restrictions and updates

We may restrict or suspend access when needed to address misuse, protect the service or meet legal obligations. We may update these terms as features change. The date above identifies the current version; changes apply going forward from that date.

Privacy and contact

The Privacy policy explains how we handle information. For questions about these terms, account access or content rights, email contact@daoverlord.com. Do not send passwords or other secrets.
