Overview
Quordle ("Quordle," "we," "us," or "our") provides a free browser-based word puzzle game at this website (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the Service collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
Quordle is designed to work without accounts, sign-ups, or personal profiles. Most of what makes the game work — your streak, statistics, and preferences — is stored locally on your own device rather than on our servers.
Information we collect
Because Quordle does not require registration, we collect very little personal information. Depending on how you use the Service, the following categories of information may be involved:
- Gameplay data: guesses, win/loss results, streaks, and hint usage, stored locally in your browser.
- Preferences: settings such as light/dark theme, saved locally in your browser.
- Technical data: standard web server logs (such as browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from IP address) that may be collected automatically for security and performance monitoring.
- Contact information: if you voluntarily email us or fill out a contact form, we receive whatever information you choose to share, such as your name and email address.
Local storage & cookies
Quordle primarily relies on your browser's local storage — not traditional tracking cookies — to remember your progress. This includes your daily puzzle state, statistics, achievements, and theme preference. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
If third-party services such as analytics or advertising partners are used, they may set their own cookies or similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for full details on what is used and how to manage it.
How we use information
Any information collected is used to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
- Remember your gameplay progress and preferences between visits;
- Monitor performance, diagnose technical issues, and protect against abuse;
- Respond to messages you send us through the contact channels listed below.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use gameplay data to build advertising profiles beyond what is disclosed in our Cookie Policy.
Children's privacy
Quordle is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Your choices
You can clear your locally stored gameplay data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for Quordle, or by using the in-game reset option where available. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — see our Cookie Policy for instructions.
Data retention & security
Locally stored data remains on your device until you clear it. Any information sent to us directly, such as contact form messages, is retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for reasonable record-keeping. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Service or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
