Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

This policy explains what information Donnie's Tariff War (donniestariffwar.com) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Information you give us

• Account: if you register to play online, we store your username and a scrambled (hashed) version of your password. We never see or store your password in plain text.
• Games: the games you create or join, your moves, and your game log are stored so the game can be played across devices.
• Donation list: if you add yourself to the donation list, we store the name and PayPal email or paypal.me name you enter, so visitors can be sent to it. This information is shared with the visitor's PayPal checkout when you are picked.
• Contact form: if you send us a message, we store your name, email and message so we can reply.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our server records basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. We use it to keep the site running, prevent abuse (for example, limiting sign-ups from one connection) and fix problems.

We use a session cookie to keep you logged in while you play. The site does not sell your personal information.

Advertising and cookies

This site may show ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party vendors.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland will be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown.

Payments and donations

Donations are made through PayPal. We never see or store card or bank details. PayPal's own privacy policy applies to anything you enter on PayPal's pages.

Links to other sites

News cards link to the original news articles, and ads and donations may take you to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
