You might be wondering: if you don't track us, how do you have all this data? Great question.
What happens when you play
When you finish a puzzle, your browser sends a small summary to our server: how many guesses it took, whether you got the bonus rounds, and what time of day it was. That's it. Think of it like dropping an anonymous survey into a box — we see the answers, but we have no idea who wrote them.
How country data works
For the world map, we need to know roughly where players are. When your stats are sent, a third-party service looks up your IP address and tells us just the country — like "France" or "Japan." Your actual IP address is never saved anywhere. It's used once in transit and immediately discarded. We couldn't identify you even if we wanted to.
What we never do
We never store IP addresses
We never use cookies to track you
We never collect names, emails, or accounts
We never fingerprint your device or track you across sessions
We can't link any data point back to any person
Your local stats
Your personal win streaks, guess history, and preferences? Those live entirely on your device in your browser's local storage. They never leave your computer. If you clear your browser data, they're gone — we have no backup because we never had them in the first place.
