Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 17, 2026
Quick summary: DinosaurGameOnline.io collects minimal personal data to operate the site and serve ads. We do not sell your personal information. You have full rights to access, correct, or delete your data. This policy applies to all visitors regardless of location, including the EU and US.
1. Who We Are
DinosaurGameOnline.io (“we”, “us”, “our”) is operated as an individual-run website accessible at https://dinosaurgameonline.io. We act as the data controller for personal data collected through this site.
For any privacy-related inquiries, please contact us at the address listed in Section 14.
Note to EEA/UK residents: Because DinosaurGameOnline.io is operated by an individual rather than a registered legal entity, you are contracting directly with the individual operator. We nonetheless commit to full compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR.
2. What Data We Collect
2.1 Data you provide directly
We only collect personal data you voluntarily submit, such as when you use a contact form or send us an email. This may include:
- Name
- Email address
- Any other information you choose to include in your message
We do not require account registration to use DinosaurGameOnline.io.
2.2 Data collected automatically
When you visit DinosaurGameOnline.io, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect the following technical data:
- IP address – used for fraud prevention, location-based ad targeting, and security
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring to URL (the page you came from)
- Cookie and tracking data – see Section 5
- Ad interaction data (whether you viewed or clicked an advertisement)
2.3 Data received from third parties
Our advertising and analytics partners may share aggregated or pseudonymous data about your interactions with their services on our site. If we receive personal information directly from a third party about you, we will notify you individually where required by law.
3. Why We Collect It & Legal Basis
We process your personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes. The table below explains each purpose and its legal basis under GDPR (for EEA/UK visitors).
Purpose | Data used | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
Responding to inquiries or support requests | Name, email, message content | Legitimate interest |
Displaying the website and its content | IP address, browser/device data | Legitimate interest |
Site analytics and performance measurement | Usage data, pages visited, session data | Legitimate interest |
Serving non-personalized advertisements | IP address, general location, device data | Legitimate interest |
Serving personalized advertisements | Cookie data, user IDs, ad interaction data | Consent |
Fraud prevention and security | IP address, device data, behavioral data | Legitimate interest |
Compliance with legal obligations | Data as required by applicable law | Legal obligation |
Sharing data with Google CPS Vendors (DV360 bids) | Cookie data, consent signals | Consent |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have assessed that our interests are not overridden by your rights. You have the right to object at any time – see Section 9.
4. Advertising & Third-Party Partners
DinosaurGameOnline.io is a free, ad-supported website. We work with third-party advertising networks that may collect data through cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant advertisements. These partners operate independently and are subject to their own privacy policies.
We do not sell your personal data to any third party. However, sharing data with advertising partners for the purpose of ad targeting may be classified as a “sale” or “sharing” under California law (CCPA/CPRA). See Section 10 for you opt-out rights.
