Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 21, 2026
1. The 100% Client-Side Architecture
At PenPaperPixel.org, we respect the absolute privacy of our tabletop roleplaying community. Unlike commercial platforms that require user registrations, credit card tokens, and cloud synchronization, all tools hosted on PenPaperPixel.org run 100% client-side inside your web browser.
We do not operate backend user databases, we do not require account logins, and we do not transmit, log, or store your character ability scores, party compositions, spell bookmarks, or dice roll outcomes on any external server.
2. Browser Local Storage (localStorage)
Our tools may utilize your web browser's standard localStorage feature strictly to preserve your user interface preferences between browser refreshes. This includes:
- Audio Preferences: Remembering whether you have muted or enabled procedural dice sound effects (key:
ppp_audio_muted). - Session Roll Log: Maintaining your recent roll history in the d20 Dice Bag for quick review during combat.
- Encounter State: Retaining your customized party roster and monster counts in the Encounter Calculator during active sessions.
This information is never transmitted to PenPaperPixel.org or any third party. You can instantly erase all stored preferences at any time by clearing your browser cache or site cookies.
3. Third-Party Hosting & Network Security (Cloudflare)
PenPaperPixel.org is hosted globally using Cloudflare Pages. To protect the site from denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, ensure HTTPS encryption, and optimize caching at edge servers in over 300 cities worldwide, Cloudflare may process transient technical metadata (such as IP addresses and HTTP request headers) in accordance with Cloudflare's standard Global Privacy Policy.
4. Advertising Disclosures (Google AdSense & Cookies)
To offset ongoing domain registration and hosting costs, PenPaperPixel.org may display non-intrusive advertisements served by Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
5. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
Our website is intended for general tabletop gaming audiences and Game Masters of all ages. We do not knowingly collect, request, or solicit any personal identification information from children under the age of 13.
