Privacy Policy
Languagle is a daily language-guessing game. There are no accounts, no sign-in, and no server storing anything about you. Here is exactly what the game does with data.
The short version
Your progress, your streak and your settings are kept on your own device and are never sent anywhere. Clear your browser storage and all of it is gone for good. Nobody has another copy, including me.
What is stored on your device
The game keeps three things in your browser's localStorage.
That is space on your own phone or computer. It is not sent to a server
and it does not follow you to another device.
- Today's board. The puzzle number you are on, the languages you have guessed, and whether the game is still going. This is what lets you close the tab and come back to the same board.
- Your statistics. Games played, games won, your current and best streak, and how many guesses your wins took. This is what fills the stats panel.
- Your settings. Whether colour-blind mode is on, and whether you have dismissed the tip bar.
That is the whole list. No identifier, no account, no email address, no name, and none of it leaves your device.
Feedback you choose to send
The Submit Feedback form is the one part of the game that sends anything anywhere, and only when you type a message and press Send. It sends the text you wrote and nothing else. Your puzzle number, your board, your stats and your settings are not attached, so there is no way to tie a message back to a particular player. Delivery is handled by Web3Forms, which forwards it to me by email.
How to erase everything
Clear this site's data in your browser settings, or play in a private or incognito window so nothing is stored to begin with. The game works exactly the same either way. It will simply treat you as a new player each time.
Cookies
The game sets no cookies. localStorage is a different
mechanism, and unlike a cookie it is never transmitted along with your
requests.
Advertising
As things stand, Languagle carries no advertising and contains no advertising code. If that changes, this section will be updated before any ad code goes live. It will name the provider, say what cookies or identifiers it sets, and link to that provider's own privacy policy and opt-out controls.
Analytics
As things stand, Languagle uses no analytics and collects no usage statistics of any kind. If analytics are added, this section will be updated first, naming the provider and what it measures.
Links to other sites
The game links out to a few external pages: a portfolio, an email address, a tipping page, and the source behind each day's phrase. Following those takes you to services I do not run, each with its own privacy policy. Nothing about your game goes with you.
Children
Languagle is suitable for a general audience and knowingly collects information from nobody, of any age. There is nothing to collect, because the game asks for nothing and stores nothing off your device.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that affects what is stored or where it goes, the date at the top will change and the change will be described here.
