Support & privacy
Privacy, in plain language.
Two things get called “the game” and “the website”, and they behave very differently. The game collects nothing at all. This website is an ordinary website served by a hosting company and a content delivery network, and those two do process the request data needed to serve you a page. Here is exactly what that means.
The game collects nothing
Dirtstorm MX has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting service and no third-party SDKs that collect data. It requests no runtime permissions — no storage, contacts, location, microphone, camera, notifications, advertising ID or account access — and it plays with the network off.
| Data | Stored | Purpose | Your control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Career progress (credits, bikes, upgrades, records, sponsors) | Local save file on your device | Offline progression | Delete the app data — there is no account to manage |
| Time-trial best ghosts | Local save file, per layout | Best-line replay | Capped retention; delete the app data |
| Audio levels, LOW FLASH, MOTION, bike and event selection | Device preferences | Remember your setup | In-game toggles |
Nothing leaves your device. There is no server component and no outbound network path in the runtime.
What this website does
- No analytics of ours. We run no visitor tracking, no advertising pixels and no third-party marketing scripts on this site.
- No cookies set by us. We do not set cookies for tracking, advertising or profiling.
- Hosting and delivery. The site runs on Hostinger and is delivered through Cloudflare. To serve a page and to block abuse, those two process the standard request data any web server sees — your IP address, the page requested, and your browser’s user agent. Cloudflare may set a short-lived bot-management cookie on its own account when its protection features are active; that is Cloudflare’s, not ours, and you can block it.
- Server logs. Our host keeps standard access logs for security and troubleshooting, and they age out on the host’s normal retention schedule.
- Fonts. Type is loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google to fetch it.
We are telling you about the boring infrastructure on purpose. “This site collects no data whatsoever” would be a claim we cannot actually make while a host and a CDN are doing their jobs, and we would rather describe the real behaviour than make a tidy promise.
If you email us
Playtest requests go to us by email, so we hold what you send: your address, your device details, and anything else you choose to tell us. We use it to send you builds and to understand which hardware we need to support. Ask and we will delete it. We do not sell it, and there is no marketing list attached to it.
Accessibility
Playable your way
Full control remapping, mirrored and assisted control profiles, tilt steering, scalable UI, and colour-safe cues that never rely on hue alone.
Comfort options
LOW FLASH for photosensitivity, MOTION reduction for camera and particle intensity, and caption support for rider callouts and race audio.
Honest assistance
Assists and cheats are labelled in-game and separated from competitive results, so an assisted run never masquerades as an unassisted record.
This website follows the same principle: the hero animation honours your system’s reduced-motion setting and can be paused, links are underlined as well as coloured, focus outlines stay visible, and every control is reachable by keyboard.
Reporting a problem
Playtest builds are covered by a short written protocol: what device you used, what you expected, what happened, and whether it repeats with the same inputs. That last part matters more than anything else, because it is what turns a bug report into a fix.
Send reports to [email protected] with your device model and the build you were running.
