Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Overview

PoKéDLE is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what limited data we use to run the daily guessing game and how third-party advertising partners may handle data while you visit the site.

Local Game State

PoKéDLE uses your browser's localStorage to save your daily progress — the date, the puzzle's target ID, your list of guesses, your win/loss status, and your bonus round answers. This information stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. Clearing your browser storage will reset today's puzzle progress.

Cookies & Advertising

The free version of PoKéDLE displays advertisements provided by third-party ad networks. These networks may set cookies in your browser to display non-personalized ads by default, or personalized ads where you have given consent under applicable law (such as GDPR in the EU). You can manage ad personalization preferences through your browser settings or your operating system's ad-settings panel.

Third-Party API

PoKéDLE fetches Pokémon data from the public, community-maintained PokéAPI. When you load the game, your browser makes requests to this service; please review PokéAPI's terms for their handling of data.

Premium Tier

The Premium status in this MVP is stored locally in your browser and does not transmit any personal information.
