Privacy

Dartle is run by the Dartle team. We collect as little as we can. There are no accounts. The game itself sets no tracking cookies; Google's analytics may (see below).

What stays on your device

• Your progress and stats are saved in your browser's local storage so a refresh doesn't lose your game. Clearing your browser data deletes them.
• If you buy the archive or ad removal, we set a cookie for each, containing your restore code and a signature, so our server can check your purchase. They aren't used for anything else. “Remove from this device” on the archive page deletes them.

Daily results

When you finish today's puzzle, your result (your answers and score) is sent to us with a random ID created on your device, so each device is counted once. We use these results to show everyone's stats for the day. The ID isn't linked to your name, email, purchase or anything else about you.

Analytics

We use PostHog in cookieless mode to count visitors and understand how the game is played (for example, how many people finish a puzzle or hit a bullseye). It stores nothing on your device. PostHog processes your IP address and browser details to count unique visitors without identifying you; we don't receive your IP address and don't combine this with any other data.

Category suggestions

If you suggest a category, we store the text you typed and when you sent it, and nothing else. Please don't include personal details.

We also use Google Analytics to measure visits (for example, how many people visit and from which countries). It sets cookies to tell visits apart. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, these cookies are only set if you agree in the consent message. See how Google uses this information.

Purchases

Purchases (the archive) are processed by Stripe, under its own privacy policy. We never see your card details. We receive the purchase details Stripe shares with sellers (such as your email address and payment status) so we can unlock what you bought, check refunds and help with support. Your restore code is stored with your payment in Stripe.

Hosting

Our host (Netlify) keeps standard server logs, such as IP addresses and requested pages, for security and reliability.
