Privacy Policy
An accurate description of what this site actually does — not a generic template listing services we don't use.
Summary
PokéGuess has no accounts, no server-side storage, no cookies, no analytics, and no advertising. Everything the game remembers about you is stored in your own browser's localStorage and never leaves your device.
What's Stored Locally
The following browser-local keys are used, all readable and deletable by you at any time through your browser's site-data settings:
- Today's puzzle state — your guesses so far, whether you've won or lost, and how many clues you've revealed.
- Streak data — your current streak, best streak, and total games played.
- Sound preference — whether audio is muted.
- Onboarding status — whether you've dismissed the first-visit introduction banner.
None of this is transmitted to us or to any third party. We have no server that could receive it even if we wanted to.
No Analytics or Advertising (Currently)
As of this version, PokéGuess does not run Google Analytics, Google AdSense, or any other tracking or advertising service. If that changes in the future, this page will be updated to accurately describe what's added, before it's added.
External Resources This Page Contacts
Loading PokéGuess does make a small number of requests to services outside our control:
- Google Fonts (
fonts.googleapis.com,fonts.gstatic.com) — for the Outfit and IBM Plex Mono typefaces used throughout the site. - PokeAPI's public sprite repository (
raw.githubusercontent.com) — for Pokémon artwork shown in the game. This is a third-party-hosted source of copyrighted Pokémon artwork; PokéGuess does not host, modify, or claim ownership of these images, and using this source does not make that artwork copyright-free.
Each of these services may receive standard request information (such as your IP address) as an inherent part of serving that resource, under their own respective privacy practices, which are outside PokéGuess's control.
Changes to This Policy
If PokéGuess later adds analytics, advertising, or any other data collection, this page will be updated first to describe it accurately, rather than describing services that aren't actually present.
