Privacy Policy

Plotzle is a free daily game. We keep this policy simple and honest. We do not sell your data. We do not create user accounts. We do not require you to identify yourself to play.

When you use Plotzle, the following information may be collected:

• Usage data — pages visited, time on site, device type, browser, and general location (country/region). Collected via Google Analytics.
• Game data — which puzzles you played and how many guesses you made. Stored locally on your device only, never sent to our servers.
• Feedback submissions — if you use the feedback form, your message is sent to us. No name or email is required.
• Standard server logs — your IP address and request details are logged automatically by our web server for security and performance purposes.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Analytics cookies — Google Analytics uses cookies to measure site traffic and usage patterns. This helps us understand how people play and improve the game.
• Advertising cookies — We display ads served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to show you ads based on your interests and prior browsing activity.
• Local storage — Your game statistics (puzzles played, guess history, streaks) are stored in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.

Plotzle uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:
