Privacy Policy — Macro Share

Macro Share is a Geometry Dash mod plus a small website and server for sharing level macros. This policy explains, in plain language, what information the mod, this website and our servers handle. The short version: there are no accounts, no ads and no tracking, and the only things we store are the macros you choose to upload and a few details about them.

1. What we collect

When you upload a macro

Uploading is always your choice. When you upload, we store:

the macro file itself (a standard .gdr replay file) and its size;
the Geometry Dash level ID and level name;
the macro name (the mod sets this to the level's name);
the author name, which is your Geometry Dash profile name at the time of upload;
the upload time and a version number (re-uploads are kept as new versions);
a randomly generated owner token, used only to check that a delete request comes from the person who uploaded the macro. It is not derived from your name or any personal detail.

When you browse or download

We keep a simple counter of how many times each macro has been downloaded. The counter is not linked to who downloaded it. We do not keep a list of visitors, and we do not store IP addresses in our database.

Our servers run on Cloudflare, which, like any hosting provider, technically receives your IP address and standard request details in order to deliver the site. See "Third parties" below.

The website

No cookies, no analytics, no advertising trackers.
We use your browser's local storage (not cookies) for two small things: your light/dark choice, and whether you have dismissed the notice at the bottom of the page. Both stay on your device and are never sent to us.
The site loads two typefaces (Inter and Space Grotesk) from Google Fonts. When it does, your browser contacts Google, which receives your IP address.

The mod, on your computer

Macros you record are saved on your computer in Documents\Macros.
Owner tokens for your uploads are saved locally in a file called .macroshare_tokens.json in that folder.
When a level loads, the mod asks our server how many macros exist for it, which sends that level's ID.
Nothing is sent to our servers unless you upload, download, browse the list or delete something.

2. What we do not collect

We do not ask for or store your name, email address, password, payment details, location, contacts or device identifiers. There are no user accounts. We do not sell or rent any information, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.

3. How we use the information

to list, serve and let people download the macros that have been shared;
to reject files that are clearly invalid and to prevent abuse;
to let uploaders delete their own uploads;
to show aggregate figures such as the totals on the Statistics page.

4. What is public

Once uploaded, a macro is public. Anyone can see and download it, along with its level ID and name, the author name, the upload date, its size and its download count. Your Geometry Dash profile name is shown as the author. If you do not want that name shown, do not upload. Please never use a real name that you want to keep private as your in-game name.

5. Third parties

Cloudflare hosts our website, server and file storage and may process request data such as IP addresses in line with its own policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
Google Fonts serves the site's typefaces: policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not share uploaded information with anyone else, except where the law requires it.

6. How long we keep things, and deleting your uploads

Macros are kept until they are deleted. Re-uploading never overwrites an earlier upload, so older versions stay available as an archive until each one is removed.

To delete an upload yourself: use the Delete button next to your macro in the mod, on the same computer you uploaded from. It appears only for uploads made from that computer, because it relies on the owner token stored there. Deleting removes the file and its details from our servers.
If you lost the token (for example, you reinstalled Windows) or want something removed for any other reason, contact us using the details below and tell us the level and the upload date. We will remove content that is yours, or that is unlawful or harmful.

7. Security

All traffic between the mod, this website and our servers uses HTTPS. Owner tokens are never shown in any public listing. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children

Geometry Dash is played by many young people. Macro Share does not ask for personal information, has no accounts and is not designed to collect information from children. The one thing that is made public is the in-game profile name, so children should not use their real name as their profile name, and a parent or guardian can ask us to remove any upload at any time.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to how it is used. Because we hold so little, and none of it is tied to an account, the practical route is the deletion process in section 6. Contact us and we will respond as soon as we reasonably can.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change how information is handled, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use Macro Share after a change means you accept the updated policy.
