Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 March 2026
1 Who We Are
DOStats ("we", "us", "our") is a personal hobby project operated by an individual DarkOrbit player. The site at dostats.info publishes daily snapshots of publicly visible DarkOrbit leaderboard information. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Bigpoint GmbH.
2 What Information We Display and Collect
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Public game data | In-game nickname, clan tag, server, rank, experience points, and other leaderboard metrics | Automatically collected from publicly visible DarkOrbit leaderboard pages |
| Technical logs | IP address, timestamp, browser information, and error diagnostics | Recorded automatically by our hosting and security tooling |
| Voluntary contact details | Email address, Discord tag, and the contents of a message you send us | Provided directly by you |
We do not require a user account to browse the public site.
3 How We Use Information
- Publish and update leaderboard pages and player profile views.
- Monitor uptime, investigate bugs, and protect the site from abuse.
- Respond to questions, bug reports, and privacy requests.
- Fund hosting and operating costs through Google AdSense advertising.
We do not sell personal data. If advertising consent is required in your region, Google will use the choices you make in the consent message to determine whether ads are personalized or non-personalized.
4 Cookies and Advertising
| Type | Purpose | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Support secure sessions, page preferences, and basic site functionality | Browser settings |
| Google AdSense cookies | Deliver ads, measure ad performance, limit repeat impressions, and support fraud prevention | Consent message, browser settings, and Google ad settings |
| Consent records | Store your advertising and privacy preferences where required by law | Consent message and privacy choices link |

5 Data Sharing
We share data only with service providers that help us operate the site, such as:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers.
- Google, for AdSense ad serving, measurement, and consent management.
- Authorities where disclosure is legally required.
6 Removing Your Nickname
The statistics we display are derived from DarkOrbit public leaderboards where a nickname is already visible. We therefore do not normally remove individual names because doing so would compromise the integrity of historic data. If you believe there is a compelling reason to review a listing, contact us and we will assess the request.
7 Security
We use HTTPS, access controls, and server monitoring to help protect the site and its supporting systems.
8 Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available at dostats.info/privacy.
