Privacy Policy

Peekpedia is a free daily puzzle game. This page explains what limited data we collect, why, and what we don't do. We've tried to write this in plain language instead of legalese.

When you play Peekpedia, your browser stores small amounts of data locally on your device using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is never sent to us. Specifically, we store:

• Which puzzles you've played on which dates
• Your guesses and attempts for each puzzle
• Whether you won or lost a given puzzle

You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for peekpedia.com. Deleting it will reset your game state but has no other effect.

Peekpedia is hosted on Vercel. Vercel automatically logs certain technical information for every visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referrer, and timestamp. This is standard for any website. Vercel's logs are retained temporarily for security and performance purposes. See Vercel's privacy policy at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

We may use privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics (such as Vercel Analytics or Plausible Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns — how many people visit, which pages they view, which countries they come from. These tools do not use cookies, do not track you across other websites, and do not collect personally identifiable information. No consent banner is required because no personal data is processed.

Peekpedia does not set any cookies.

To improve puzzle quality and understand how the game is played, we record anonymous gameplay statistics when a puzzle is completed. Specifically:

• Which puzzle you played (date)
• Whether you solved it
• How many attempts you used
• Wrong guesses you submitted
• An anonymous device identifier (a random UUID stored in your browser)
• Your approximate country (from your IP, no precise location)

This data is not linked to any personal identifier and cannot be used to identify you. We use it to see which puzzles are too hard or too easy, what alternate answers to accept, and how engagement evolves over time.

You can clear your device identifier at any time by clearing site data for peekpedia.com in your browser. This resets your participation as if you were a new visitor.

Puzzle images are served from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org and commons.wikimedia.org). When you load a puzzle, your browser makes a request directly to Wikimedia servers. Wikimedia may log these requests according to their own privacy policy: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy.

Since we don't collect personal data beyond what Vercel logs automatically, there's very little for us to "delete" or "export" on request. If you have any privacy concerns or questions, contact us at peekpedia@protonmail.com.

If we change how Peekpedia handles data, we'll update this page and change the date at the top.
