Privacy

Peak Puzzle is built to stay out of your way. Every game is playable without an account — progress, timers and preferences live in your own browser and go nowhere else. No ads, no tracking cookies, nothing sold or shared.

An account is optional, and exists so that streaks and leaderboard places follow you from one day to the next. It takes an email address and nothing else: we send a code, you type it in, and there’s no password to choose or lose. An account holds that address, a username, an optional country, and the puzzles you’ve finished — that’s the whole of it. The username is what appears on leaderboards; your email doesn’t, and never will. Showing a country beside it is entirely up to you — leave it off and nothing is shown. Both are yours to change from your profile whenever you like.

Staying signed in takes one cookie. It’s the only one we set, and it does nothing but keep you signed in. The session it belongs to carries the ordinary sign-in record — the IP address and browser it began on — kept with the session, and cleared the moment you sign out. Codes and links stop working after fifteen minutes. The only mail we send is a sign-in code, unless you ask for notifications in your profile.

To see what’s working we count visits with our own analytics on our own server: no cookies, no profile, nothing that points back to you. If you ask a word search to build itself around a topic of your own, that topic goes to an outside AI service to gather words for it — the topic by itself, with nothing attached to say who typed it. And whatever you send through our contact form — your message, a reply address, the IP it arrived from — is used to write back and for nothing else.

There’s little to manage, but it’s all yours. Your account and everything in it can be edited, or deleted outright, from your profile at any moment — deleting takes the address, the results and the leaderboard rows with it. Clearing your browser storage wipes whatever’s saved locally. You’re free to ask what we hold, to have it corrected, and to take a complaint to your local data protection authority. Our contact form reaches us for any of that.
