Meowdoku Playbook
Privacy Policy
There is no account, no login, and no database of users on this site. Almost everything it remembers about you is stored on your own device and never sent anywhere. This page says exactly what the exceptions are.
Last updated
The short version
- No account, no sign-up, no email address is ever requested to use the site.
- Your puzzle progress, best times, language, and theme live in your browser’s local storage and are never transmitted.
- Screenshots you give the solver are read inside your browser and never uploaded.
- Google Analytics is used to count visits. It is the only tracker, and you can block it.
- Nothing is sold, rented, or shared with data brokers.
What stays on your device
The site stores a handful of values in your browser’s local storage. These never leave your device, are not readable by this site’s operator, and are not tied to any identifier for you:
- meowdoku_levelProgress
- How far you have got in the campaign, and your time on each cleared level.
- meowdoku_bestTimes
- Your best time per board size.
- meowdoku_dailyRecord
- Your daily puzzle result and streak.
- meowdoku_language
- Which of the seven interface languages you chose.
- meowdoku_theme
- Light or dark mode.
- meowdoku_sound
- Whether sound is on.
- meowdoku_autoMark
- Whether automatic ✕ marking is on.
You can erase all of it at any time by clearing site data for this domain in your browser settings. Doing so resets your progress permanently, because no copy exists anywhere else.
The site can also be installed to your home screen. If you do that, its files are cached on your device so it works offline. That cache holds the site’s own pages and images — no information about you.
The screenshot solver
When you give the solver an image, the image is read, the board is detected, and the puzzle is solved entirely by code running in your browser. The file is not uploaded to this site, is not sent to a third party, and is not retained after you leave the page. Nothing about the boards you solve is recorded.
What reaches other companies
Google Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-0XPXCWCDQL) to count visits and see which guides get read. It sets cookies and collects the usual analytics signals — approximate location derived from your IP address, device and browser type, referring site, and the pages you view. It is not used to build advertising profiles, and no advertising features are enabled.
Google processes this data as described in its own privacy policy. If you would rather not be counted, Google publishes a browser opt-out add-on, and any ordinary content blocker or a browser’s tracking protection will also stop it. The site works exactly the same either way.
Walkthrough videos
Level guide pages embed walkthrough videos through youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. In that mode YouTube does not set its usual tracking cookies unless you actually press play. Once you do, YouTube receives a request from your browser and its own policies apply.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Vercel, which like any web host records standard server request logs, including IP addresses, for delivery, security, and abuse prevention. Those logs are Vercel’s, handled under its privacy policy.
Links that leave the site
Links to the App Store, Google Play, the tip jar, and the social sharing buttons all hand you over to companies with their own privacy practices. Nothing about you is passed along with the link, but from the moment you arrive, their policy governs, not this one.
What is never collected
- Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or postal addresses — unless you choose to email us, in which case we have whatever you put in the email.
- Payment details. No payment is ever taken on this site.
- Accounts, passwords, or any login of any kind.
- Advertising or cross-site tracking identifiers. There are no ad networks on this site.
Children
The site is a puzzle game suitable for all ages, and it is not directed at children in the regulatory sense: it collects no personal information from anyone, of any age, and asks for none. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, write to us and it will be deleted.
Your choices
Because no personal data is stored on any server here, there is no account to access, correct, or delete. In practice your controls are: clear this site’s local storage to erase everything it remembers, block analytics to stop being counted, and email us about anything you have sent by email. For data held by Google or Vercel, those companies’ own policies and request processes apply.
Changes to this policy
If the site ever adds an analytics tool, an ad network, a font or script from another host, or anything else that receives a request from your browser, this page is updated first. The revision date at the top marks the last change.
