Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Zero Data Harvesting

At DM Initiative Tracker, we believe privacy is essential to tabletop roleplaying. The application runs almost entirely client-side inside your web browser. We do not require account registration, passwords, email logins, or personal identity verification to use the combat manager.

2. Local Browser Storage (Party Vault & Encounters)

Your campaign data—including party member character names, player health, custom monster stats, initiative rolls, and sound preferences—is stored locally on your own computer using standard browser technologies (such as localStorage and IndexedDB). We do not transmit, sync, or harvest your private campaign notes or character sheets on external servers.

Because this information is stored locally on your device, clearing your web browser cache or site data will reset your saved party members and active battle state. You maintain 100% control over your data at all times and can wipe it instantly via your browser privacy settings.

3. Inter-Tab Communication & BroadcastChannel Security

The dual-screen synchronization feature uses the W3C standard HTML5 BroadcastChannel API. This API operates strictly within your local browser instance between tabs sharing the same origin (https://dminitiativetracker.com). No data packets leave your device, traverse the public internet, or pass through third-party relay servers during turn synchronization between your DM laptop console and your television screen.

4. Cookies and Third-Party Services

DM Initiative Tracker is committed to a clean, non-intrusive tabletop experience. If third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) or analytics services are integrated to support server hosting and development costs, those third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve relevant non-intrusive advertisements or measure general page traffic patterns.

You can customize or opt out of personalized Google advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings.

5. Privacy Inquiries

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy practices or data handling, please contact our team at privacy@dminitiativetracker.com.
