Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We don't require an account to use this site, and the tools here (the solver, the practice board, the game analyzer) all run in your browser without sending your guesses or tile colors to us. That said, like almost every website, some information is collected automatically:

• Usage data — pages visited, time spent, referring site, device and browser type, and approximate location derived from IP address, typically gathered through analytics services.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small files that help the site remember preferences and, if advertising is present, support ad delivery and measurement. See our cookie policy for the full breakdown.
• Information you provide directly — if you use the contact form or email us, we receive whatever you choose to include (name, email address, and your message).

2. How We Use Information

Usage data helps us understand which pages and tools are actually useful, catch broken features, and make basic decisions about what to build next — it's aggregated and analytical, not used to build a profile of you individually. Information submitted through the contact form is used only to respond to your message and, where relevant, to fix the issue you're reporting. We don't sell personal information, and we don't use anything collected here to build advertising profiles beyond what a standard analytics or ad-serving provider does on its own.

3. Third-Party Services

This site may use third-party services for analytics (such as Google Analytics) and, if enabled, advertising (such as Google AdSense or similar ad networks). These providers may set their own cookies and collect data according to their own privacy policies, which operate independently of this one. We don't control how third-party providers use data beyond what their own published policies describe, so it's worth reviewing those directly if you have specific questions about a particular provider.

4. Data Retention

Analytics data is generally retained according to the analytics provider's own default settings, commonly somewhere between 14 and 26 months, after which it's automatically deleted or anonymized. Messages sent through the contact form are kept only as long as needed to address the issue raised, and are deleted or archived afterward rather than retained indefinitely.

5. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you're located, you may have rights under laws like the GDPR (EU/UK) or the CCPA/CPRA (California) regarding personal data collected about you, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, and the right to opt out of certain data sales or sharing. To exercise any of these rights, reach out through our contact page. You can also:

• Disable cookies through your browser settings — see our cookie policy for specifics.
• Use browser extensions or built-in settings that block analytics and advertising trackers.
• Opt out of Google's use of cookies for personalized advertising via Google's own Ads Settings page.

6. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information (for example, through the contact form), please reach out through our contact page so it can be removed.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information collected through this site, but no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We can't guarantee absolute security, and we'd encourage you not to include sensitive information (like financial details) in a contact form message.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time, whether to reflect a change in practice or for legal or regulatory reasons. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
