Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Daily Games ("we", "us"), available at daily.zalize.com, handles information when you use our website and games.

Minimal data collection

Our games require no account, no registration, no email address and no login. We do not use tracking cookies, and we never ask for your location or contact details. The limited data we do handle is described below.

Local storage

Your game progress — streaks, statistics, settings such as dark mode, and whether you have played today's puzzle — is stored primarily in your browser's localStorage on your own device. Clearing your browser data will erase it.

Optional leaderboards and nicknames

Some games let you optionally submit a score with a nickname to a public daily leaderboard, or attach your chosen name to an in-game discovery. If you do, that nickname and score are stored on our servers (Cloudflare D1) and shown publicly to other players. Do not use your real name if you prefer not to have it displayed. Score submissions are optional — every game is fully playable without them.

Server-side game features and rate limiting

Daily puzzles, AI-powered features (such as element combining and suspect interrogation) and score submissions are served by our Cloudflare Workers backend. To prevent abuse, we apply per-IP rate limits: your IP address is used transiently in short-lived rate-limit counters (automatically expiring within about 24 hours) and is not stored in our analytics or leaderboard databases.

Some games additionally store a salted, irreversible hash derived from your IP address alongside submissions, used only to require that publicly shown answers come from multiple independent sources; the raw IP address itself is never stored in our game databases.

Free-text answers and your device ID (CrowdCall)

Some games — currently CrowdCall — ask you to type a short free-text answer to a daily question. These answers are stored on our servers (Cloudflare D1), aggregated with other players' answers, and the most common answers may be displayed publicly on future days' answer boards after automated content filtering. Never include names, contact details or other personal information in a free-text answer. To count each player's answers once and compute your daily score, these games also generate a random device identifier that is stored in your browser and persisted on our servers together with your answers and scores. It is random, is not linked to any account, name or email, and identifies only your browser — clearing your browser data disconnects you from it.

Deutsch: Einige Spiele (derzeit CrowdCall) speichern Ihre Freitext-Antworten auf unseren Servern; die häufigsten Antworten können nach automatischer Inhaltsfilterung öffentlich auf künftigen Antworttafeln angezeigt werden. Geben Sie keine persönlichen Daten ein. Außerdem wird eine zufällige Geräte-Kennung erzeugt und zusammen mit Ihren Antworten und Punktzahlen auf unseren Servern gespeichert; sie ist mit keinem Konto, Namen oder keiner E-Mail-Adresse verknüpft.

Português: Alguns jogos (atualmente CrowdCall) armazenam suas respostas de texto livre em nossos servidores; as respostas mais comuns podem ser exibidas publicamente em quadros de respostas de dias futuros após filtragem automática de conteúdo. Não inclua dados pessoais. Também é gerado um identificador aleatório de dispositivo, persistido em nossos servidores junto com suas respostas e pontuações; ele não está vinculado a nenhuma conta, nome ou e-mail.

Optional cross-device sync

You can optionally upload your game progress to our servers (Cloudflare D1) to move it to another device using an anonymous sync code. The uploaded data contains only your game saves and statistics — no name, email or other personal details — and is accessible only to whoever holds the sync code, so keep it private. Sync is entirely optional; every game works without it.

Anonymous usage counters and web analytics

To understand how our games perform, we count anonymous, aggregate events (for example "a puzzle was completed today"). These counters contain no cookies, no user identifiers, no IP addresses and no device fingerprints, and cannot be linked to any individual. We may also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service that does not use cookies, does not fingerprint devices and does not track users across sites; see Cloudflare's privacy policy for details.

Separately from analytics, games that need to count each player once use the random device identifier described above.

Advertising

We may display advertising to keep the games free. Ad placements are clearly labelled and never interrupt gameplay. If a third-party advertising provider (such as Google AdSense) is enabled in the future, its use of cookies or identifiers will be governed by that provider's own privacy policy, and this page will be updated with the relevant details and any required consent mechanism before activation.

Children's privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Leaderboard nicknames are optional and filtered for inappropriate content. Our games are suitable for general audiences.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
