Privacy policy

Last updated: October 13, 2026

The short version: there's no email or password, solo takes stay on your device, and below is everything else we keep, who sees it, and for how long.

Your recordings

• Solo: your takes are stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB) and cleared after 7 days. They aren't uploaded while you play, and exported video cuts are rendered on your device too.
• Multiplayer rooms and Mimic: each take is uploaded as you record it, so everyone in the room can hear it. Takes live with the room and are deleted when you go back to the room after a scene, or when the room ends.
• Daily Mimic: entering uploads your take, and it's shown and played in the day's standings under your stage name. You can withdraw while that day's challenge is open, which deletes it. Entries in a finished challenge stay in its archive.

If you post a dub to the Dub Gallery, its takes are uploaded along with your stage name, optional tagline, voice-match score and language, and become publicly visible to anyone. A dub from a room credits everyone on it by stage name. Whoever posted a dub can delete it from its page.

Posted dubs may also be featured in short promotional videos on Dub-Off's own social media accounts, credited to your stage name. Only what you already made public goes in one. You can opt out at support@dub-off.com; see the terms for the details.

Your stage name

• Claiming a name stores the name and a hashed claim secret. The secret itself lives only in your browser. There's no email or password.
• Your profile is public: display name, bio, avatar emoji, when you joined, your level, supporter tag and award badges, your dubs and who was on them, your counts of dubs, rooms and votes, and the scenes you've submitted.
• XP history: one entry for each thing that earned XP (a room played, a Daily Mimic entry, an award). Only the totals and your level are public.
• Settings you choose on the Social page (show what I'm doing, appear offline, allow invites) are stored with your name.

Chat, friends and messages

• Room chat is seen by everyone in the room, including people who join later. It's kept in the room only, never in our database, and deleted when the room ends. Play again carries it into the next room. To moderate, an admin can join a live room's chat, and everyone in the room sees when they do.
• Reporting a message, in a room or between friends, saves a copy of it with both stage names and the time, for an admin to review. Reports are kept after review.
• Mute is saved in your browser only. Blocking stores who blocked whom, until you unblock.
• Friend requests and friendships are stored until they're declined, cancelled or ended, and are visible only to the two people involved.
• What friends see: one status (offline, online, in a room or in a game). Never your room's code, who else is in it, or when you were last online. The settings above can show you as just online or offline, or stop invites.
• Messages between friends are stored as one copy for each of you, and deleted after 30 days. A conversation keeps at most its last 500 messages. Blocking someone deletes your copy of your conversation with them.
• Played together: the stage names of people you were in a room with, and which game it was, kept for 30 days and visible only to you.

Everything else we store

• Votes: a random anonymous token generated in your browser, used only to count one vote per browser. It isn't tied to your stage name.
• Comments on dubs and updates are public under your stage name.
• Scenes: a scene you submit or publish (its clip, audio, images, characters, line timings and any note for the reviewer) is stored with your stage name. Published scenes are public. A scene report stores the reason given and the reporter's anonymous vote token.
• Supporters: when you tip through Stripe, Stripe handles the payment and your card details; we keep the amount, the name you gave Stripe, and the code that links it to your stage name. Tips through Ko-fi keep the name, amount and message sent with them. These are kept as the payment record. Publicly, a supporter shows only their stage name, the supporter tag, and a fire badge after $10 or more in total.
• Rate limiting: your IP address, and for some actions your stage name or vote token, kept for about an hour to stop spam, then deleted.
• Feedback and reports: what you send from the feedback box, a crash page's "Send report" or a report about a mix goes to Dub-Off's inbox, a small service run by Dub-Off's developer, with the page you were on, your stage name if you have one, your browser, device and country, and your email only if you give one. It's kept until it's dealt with.

Analytics, ads & hosting

We use Google Analytics, on this site and in the game, to see how many people play, which pages they visit and which buttons they press. Page addresses and button labels can include a public stage name or dub. Google sets cookies and receives standard device data; see Google's privacy policy.

We show ads through Google AdSense in the game's gallery: now and then a tile in the wall of dubs, and a screen in the swipe feed. Supporters never see them. The rest of the game carries no ads, and dub-off.com loads the same AdSense script. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technology to serve those ads and to measure them, and may personalise what you see based on your previous visits to this and other sites. You can turn personalised advertising off at My Ad Center, and read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. If you live in a US state whose privacy law lets you opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, the game's account menu shows Your Privacy Choices, which opens Google's "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" opt-out.

Dub-Off is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes requests (including IP addresses) as any host does; see Cloudflare's privacy policy. The game loads its fonts from Google Fonts, tips go through Stripe's own payment page, and the scene builder plays clips through YouTube, each under its own privacy policy.

What we don't do

• No email or password to play, and none needed to claim a name.
• No selling your data. Ads are served by Google AdSense, described above. We never hand your recordings, stage name, messages or gallery posts to an advertiser.
• No listening to your microphone outside of the takes and mic checks you start.

Removal & questions

Dub-Off isn't directed at children under 13; don't post to the gallery, chat or add friends if that's you.

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
