Privacy Policy

What we collect, why, and your rights.

Last updated · May 6, 2026

GeoRiddle ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information when you play the daily puzzle, browse the Archive, or share your results.

1. Information We Collect

  • Gameplay data: your guesses, scores, streaks, and related game state are stored locally in your browser. GeoRiddle does not provide player accounts or cross-device progress sync.
  • Technical data: our hosting and service providers may process standard request data such as IP address, user agent, and referrer for security, operation, and aggregate service reporting.
  • Analytics and advertising providers: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Adsterra may collect information through their own scripts, cookies, or similar technologies as described in their policies.

2. How We Use Information

  • Operate the game, persist your progress, and render the Archive.
  • Understand aggregate usage and improve puzzle balance through analytics.
  • Fund the free service by displaying clearly labelled third-party advertising.

3. Sharing

We do not sell your gameplay data. Data may be processed by Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Adsterra under their own terms and policies. We may also disclose information when required by law or to operate and secure the service.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use local storage for game progress, statistics, and theme preference. Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Adsterra may use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies. You can manage or clear stored data through your browser settings.

5. Your Rights

You may request access, correction, or deletion of your data at any time by contacting us. You can also clear browser storage to remove all local gameplay data instantly.

6. Children

GeoRiddle is suitable for all ages, but we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

7. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced on the homepage. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
