Privacy policy

Dinosaur Vault is a reference site you can read without signing up. We do not run ads and we do not sell data.

What we collect

Nothing you type in. There are no accounts or forms. Site search runs entirely in your browser, so your searches are not sent to us.

Server logs. The site and its videos are delivered by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic request details (the page asked for, browser type, time) to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It sets cookies and collects details such as the pages you view, your approximate location, device and browser. We do not use it for advertising. See Google's privacy policy.

Videos from YouTube. Some pages show our films from YouTube. Until you press play, the page shows only a picture from our own site and nothing is loaded from YouTube. When you press play, the film loads from YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com): Google then receives your IP address and viewing details and may store data on your device, as on YouTube itself. SeeGoogle's privacy policy.

Your browser's storage. The games save your best scores, puzzle progress and fossil cards in your own browser (local storage). None of it leaves your device, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Email. If you write to us, we keep your message and address to reply, and for no other purpose.

Children

The site is made to be safe for children to read. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, children included. If a child has emailed us and you would like the message deleted, tell us and we will delete it.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Write to[email protected].

Changes

If we change how we use your data, we will update this page first.
