Privacy Policy
Dota 2 Mod Manager runs on your computer. This project has no server, no account database and no analytics. What you do in the app stays on your machine.
What the app keeps, and where
Your settings, the list of installed mods and your presets sit in one folder on your
PC: %APPDATA%\Dota 2 Mod Manager. Delete that folder and all of it is gone.
Signing in with Discord
Sign-in is optional and the app works fully without it. It asks Discord for a single
permission, identify, which returns your Discord user ID, your display name
and your avatar. The app reads them once, saves them to the folder above, and throws the
access token away. That token never touches your disk.
You never type your Discord password into the app. You type it into your own browser, on discord.com. Signing out deletes the saved ID, name and avatar.
Your name leaves your computer in one case: a preset you chose to share carries it, because you asked the app to sign your build.
Discord status
While the app is open it tells the Discord client on your own machine what to show: the app name, which tab you have open, how many mods you have enabled and how long the session has run. That travels over a local socket, not the internet. Turn it off in Settings and the app closes the connection.
What the app downloads
- The mod catalog and the mod files, from
raw.githubusercontent.com. - Mod fingerprints, from this project's own repository.
- Updates, from GitHub Releases.
- Your Discord avatar, from
cdn.discordapp.com, once, when you sign in.
GitHub and Discord see your IP address when your computer asks them for a file, the way every download works. Nothing about those requests reaches the author of this app.
Preset links
A shared preset link carries its contents after the # in the address.
Browsers never send that part to a server, so the page that opens your link works without
its host learning which mods you shared.
Children
This app is not directed at children under 13.
