Privacy Policy

Welcome to FartDump.com’s privacy policy, because even on a dumb site, your privacy shouldn’t get dumped.
We don’t know who you are, don’t want to know, and don’t track your secrets back to you. This site is designed to let you share anonymously; unless you voluntarily overshare, you’re just another glorious nobody to us.

• No Google Analytics
• No third-party trackers
• No cross-site fingerprinting
• No creepy ad targeting
• No reCAPTCHA data-mining (See section 2)

Here’s exactly what we store:

• Your secret (if you post one)
• An anonymized ID (known as anon_id, for counting unique users)
• Referrer and page visited (so we know what's popular)
• Your IP address (if you submit a secret or a game score) to prevent spamming.
• Basic technical bits like browser type and screen size, used only for debugging and layout stats

No account is required. We don’t ask for your name, email, phone number, or shoe size. This place isn’t about your data, it’s about curing your boredom with anonymous secrets and dumb games.

Game saves, daily puzzle timers, and settings like dark mode live in your browser’s local storage; they never touch our servers. You can see and delete all of it anytime on the Your Data page.

To keep the bots from clogging up the wall of secrets, we use Google reCAPTCHA. Unlike the old days, we are the ones in charge of this data now. When you submit a secret or use any contact form, reCAPTCHA checks your hardware, software, and how you interact with the site to make sure you aren't a bot.

This data is processed strictly to keep the site functional and spam-free. We don't use it to identify you, and we don't let Google use it for their own creepy ad targeting anymore.

We use our own lightweight, privacy-respecting tracking system; just enough to see what pages are getting hits.

We don’t run creepy ad networks. Instead, we sometimes show random Amazon affiliate products. If you click one, Amazon may set a cookie on their site to track referrals (that’s between you and Amazon). We never see or store that data.

IPs are only used for spam prevention. Nothing is sold, rented, or packaged with a bow to advertisers or data brokers.

No one but us, unless you post something publicly on the site (like on The Wall). In that case, the world sees it; that’s kind of the point. We don’t share your data with third parties because we don’t collect anything worth sharing.

As safe as it can be on the internet. We lock things down on our end, but remember: this is a fart site, not a bank. Don’t post anything here you wouldn’t spray-paint on a gas station bathroom wall.

We might change this policy if the law changes, or if we start selling t-shirts and need your shipping address. Otherwise, we’ll keep it short, readable, and honest. If you keep using the site, you agree to the policy. That's just how the web works.

Got questions? Want to report something weird? Just feel like yelling into the void? Head to the contact page. We might reply. Or we might be busy tweaking the Lifetime Fart Counter.
