This page explains what happens to your information when you use Play Cryptogram at playcryptogram.com.
What stays on your device
Your game progress is kept in localStorage in your browser: puzzles in progress and solved, times, hint counts, your streak and your difficulty setting. It stays on your device and is not uploaded.
The Copy result button only places a spoiler-free summary on your clipboard. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you paste it somewhere yourself.
A challenge link you choose to send contains only your score and the puzzle or text id, plus a short check value. Scores in challenge links are as claimed by the sender and are not verified.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to measure visits, such as how many people come and which pages they open. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to do this, and Google processes that information.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard request data when your browser loads a page, such as your IP address, browser details, the address requested and the time.
Advertising
The site does not run ads today. Advertising partners may be added in future, and this page will be updated when that happens.
How to clear your data
Use "Clear data" under Stats to erase your progress on this browser, or clear the site data for playcryptogram.com in your browser's settings. This permanently removes your puzzles, times and streak on that browser.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13.
