Privacy policy
Last updated: 29 October 2026
In short: we collect as little as we can. Our games don't use accounts, and we never ask for your name, email address or location. We don't sell your data and we don't run analytics or tracking tools of our own. Where our games show ads, Google does that, and asks for your consent where the law requires it.
Who we are
Dosh Games (“we”, “us”) is a small independent studio that makes casual games for phones and computers. We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at doshgames1974@gmail.com.
What this policy covers
This policy covers:
- this website, doshgames.com, and its subdomains;
- the games we publish, and the servers that run their online features;
- our YouTube channel and the tools we use to publish videos on it;
- emails you send us.
Each game also has its own privacy policy with the exact details for that game, such as which data its online features use. If the game's policy and this one differ, the game's policy applies to that game.

This website
You can use this website without telling us who you are. The public pages don't use cookies, analytics, ads or tracking tools, and they don't load content from other websites.
Like every web server, ours receives some technical data with each request: your IP address, the page you asked for, the time, and the browser information your browser sends. We use it only to deliver the pages, to keep the server secure and to fix problems. It's stored in technical logs for a limited time and isn't used to identify you or build a profile.
Our games
Our games are designed to work with as little data as possible.
Stored only on your device
Your progress, scores, settings and in-game items are saved on your device and aren't sent to us. Uninstalling a game removes them.
Online features
Some games have online features, such as top lists. They talk to our own servers (for example fds.doshgames.com), always over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. They use a random player id made by the game (not linked to your name, device or any account), the nickname you choose, your game results, and your IP address (used briefly to protect the server from abuse). Nicknames and results are shown publicly on the top lists. The games let you see this data and delete it at any time; the game's own policy explains how.
Ads
Some of our games show ads from Google AdMob. Google may collect your device's advertising ID, an approximate location based on your IP address, information about the ads you see and tap, and diagnostic data, to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud. Where the law requires it (for example in the EU, the UK and some US states), the game asks for your consent before any ad is requested, and you can change your choice later in the game's settings. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings. Google acts as an independent controller of this data; see how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Purchases
In-game purchases are handled entirely by your platform's store, such as Google Play, the Apple App Store or the Microsoft Store. We never see your payment details. The game only learns which items you own, so it can unlock them.
What our games don't do
- They don't ask you to create an account.
- They don't ask for your contacts, photos, location or other personal information.
- They don't include analytics or tracking tools of our own.
YouTube
We publish trailers and puzzle solution videos on our YouTube channel, Dosh Games.
- Our upload tools. We use YouTube API Services in our own internal tools to upload videos to our own channel and to manage their titles, descriptions, playlists, captions and thumbnails. These tools are used only by us, with our own Google account. They don't access, collect or store data about anyone else's YouTube or Google account.
- Watching our videos. When you watch our videos, comment on them or subscribe, you use YouTube, not our service. YouTube and Google decide what data is collected. We only see the statistics YouTube gives every channel owner, and the comments and public profile names YouTube shows to everyone.
By using YouTube you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google handles your data under the Google Privacy Policy. If you ever connect a Google account to a tool of ours, you can remove its access at any time on your Google account’s third-party connections page.
When you email us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to answer you, and, for data requests, to carry out what you asked. We don't add you to any mailing list.
Who we share data with
We don't sell personal data, and we don't share it for advertising of our own. Data is handled by others only in these cases:
- Google, for ads in our games (AdMob), app distribution and purchases (Google Play) and video hosting (YouTube), as described above.
- Other app stores, such as the Apple App Store and the Microsoft Store, when you download a game or buy something there.
- The authorities, if the law requires us to.
Google and other providers may process data outside your country, including outside the EU/EEA. They do so under their own policies and the legal safeguards they provide, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long we keep data
- Website logs: a limited time, for security and troubleshooting, and then deleted.
- Game online data: as described in each game's policy, and never longer than until you delete it.
- Emails: as long as needed to answer you and handle your request.
Security
Our website and game servers use encrypted (HTTPS) connections, and we keep the data we store to a minimum. No system is perfectly secure, but if something happens that puts your data at risk, we'll act quickly and inform you and the authorities where the law requires it.
Children
Our games and this website aren't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, for example as a nickname in one of our games, contact us and we'll delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or California law), you may have the right to:
- see the personal data we have about you, and get a copy of it;
- have it corrected or deleted;
- object to or limit how we use it;
- withdraw your consent at any time, for example to personalised ads, in the game's settings;
- complain to your data protection authority.
The legal basis for running our website and our games' online features is our legitimate interest in providing the services you choose to use. The legal basis for personalised ads is your consent. Most requests can be handled directly in our games. For anything else, email us; we'll answer within 30 days. We may ask for information, such as a game's player id, to find your data and make sure it's yours.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update it on this page and change the date at the top. If a change matters to how your data is used, we'll also make it clear in our games or on this website.
