Our Privacy Commitment
At Dresthor, we treat privacy as a fundamental user right rather than a regulatory compliance checkbox. We've architected our social casino platform with privacy as a foundational design principle, implementing data minimization practices that go far beyond standard industry practices. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to data handling with the transparency and clarity you deserve.
We believe that exceptional entertainment doesn't require invasive data collection. Our platform demonstrates that it's entirely possible to provide premium gaming experiences while respecting user privacy and maintaining minimal data footprints.
Minimal Data Collection
Dresthor operates on an aggressive data minimization model. We collect virtually no personal information because our platform requires none to function effectively. We don't require user registration, so we don't collect names, email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, physical addresses, payment information, or any other personally identifiable data.
The only data point we store is your age verification confirmation, maintained in your browser's localStorage. This simple flag indicates that someone using your browser has confirmed meeting our 18+ age requirement. This approach provides convenience without compromising privacy or requiring sensitive personal data collection.
LocalStorage Implementation
LocalStorage is a browser-native storage mechanism that maintains small data amounts directly on your device. Unlike traditional cookies transmitted to servers with every request, localStorage data remains entirely on your device under your complete control.
Dresthor uses localStorage exclusively for age verification status. This stored value is a simple boolean flag containing no personal information, user identifiers, or behavioral data. It persists across browsing sessions until you clear your browser data, which you can do anytime through standard browser privacy controls.
The verification status indicates only that someone using your browser confirmed the age requirement - nothing about who you are, where you're located, or how you use the platform. This minimalist approach ensures privacy while providing user convenience.
What We Explicitly Don't Do
Understanding what Dresthor doesn't do is equally important as understanding what we do. These common practices are entirely absent from our platform:
- No tracking cookies following you across the internet
- No analytics services building behavioral profiles or usage patterns
- No advertising pixels, retargeting tags, or marketing trackers
- No collection of gameplay data, preferences, or gaming habits
- No user profiling, segmentation, or behavioral analysis
- No data sales, rentals, or sharing with third-party marketers
- No device fingerprinting or cross-device tracking
- No monitoring of mouse movements, scrolling, or interaction patterns
- No collection of biometric data or unique device identifiers
This extensive list of absent practices reflects our conscious choice to prioritize user privacy over potential monetization opportunities. We believe this approach builds trust and delivers superior user experiences.
Automatic Technical Logging
Like all web services, our infrastructure automatically logs certain technical information when you access Dresthor. This may include IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, referring URLs, and access timestamps. This logging occurs at the server infrastructure level and is standard for all web platforms.
However, we don't actively collect, analyze, aggregate, or utilize this information for user tracking, profiling, or commercial purposes. It's retained only for essential security monitoring, technical troubleshooting, and infrastructure management. We don't associate it with individual users, retain it longer than operationally necessary, or use it for marketing or advertising.
External Resource Links
The Dresthor platform includes links to external responsible gaming organizations including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. We provide these links because these organizations offer valuable support services for individuals concerned about gaming behaviors or seeking assistance.
Clicking these links takes you away from Dresthor to external websites subject to their own privacy policies and practices. While we carefully select these partner organizations, we cannot control or be responsible for their data handling practices. We encourage reviewing privacy policies of any external sites you visit.
Our games operate entirely within our platform infrastructure. They don't make external network requests, don't communicate with third-party servers, and don't transmit gameplay data to external services. All game functionality is self-contained within your browser session.
Data Security Measures
Our minimal data collection philosophy inherently reduces security risks. Since we don't maintain databases of user accounts, personal information, or behavioral data, there are no user databases that could be compromised, breached, or leaked in security incidents.
We implement industry-standard HTTPS encryption for all connections between your browser and our servers, preventing third-party interception or tampering of transmitted data. We follow secure coding practices, conduct regular security reviews, and maintain appropriate technical safeguards commensurate with the data we handle.
The age verification flag stored in localStorage represents no security risk even if accessed, as it contains no sensitive personal information or user-identifying data.
User Control and Rights
You maintain complete control over the minimal data Dresthor stores. You can clear your age verification status anytime by clearing your browser's localStorage or site data through standard browser privacy settings available in all modern browsers.
You have the right to use Dresthor with confidence that we're not tracking your behavior, building psychological profiles, or monetizing your data. You have the right to entertainment that respects your privacy. These aren't merely policy statements - they're core values embedded in how we design, build, and operate our platform.
Protection of Minors
Dresthor is not intended for, directed toward, or designed to attract individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our age verification system exists specifically to prevent underage access to the platform.
If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed our platform despite verification measures, we will take immediate action to prevent continued access. Parents and guardians should actively supervise children's internet usage and employ parental control technologies to restrict access to age-inappropriate content.
Privacy Policy Updates
We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. Significant changes will be indicated by updating the effective date at the top of this document. We may provide additional notice through the platform for material changes.
We encourage periodic review of this policy to stay informed about our privacy practices. Continued use of Dresthor following updates indicates acceptance of revised policies. If we fundamentally change our privacy-first approach, we will provide prominent notice and may offer opt-out mechanisms where appropriate.
Contact and Inquiries
If you have questions, concerns, requests, or feedback regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, we welcome your communication. We're committed to transparency, honest dialogue, and addressing privacy inquiries promptly and thoroughly.
Your trust is valuable to us. We work continuously to earn and maintain it through consistent respect for your privacy, clear communication about our practices, and unwavering commitment to data minimization principles.
