Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026. We keep this simple because CodePop is a simple game.

The short version

CodePop does not require an account or login. Your game progress and statistics live entirely in your own browser and never leave your device.

The one exception: if you choose to opt in to daily reminder emails, we store your email address with our email provider (Resend) solely to send those reminders. This is entirely optional — you can unsubscribe at any time.

Data stored in your browser

CodePop stores the following data in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device:

  • Your current game state (today's guesses in progress)
  • Your statistics: games played, wins, current streak, best streak, guess distribution
  • Your last played date and last won date (for streak calculation)
  • Your analytics consent choice (accepted or declined)
  • Your daily reminder preference and email address (if you opted in)

Clearing your browser's site data will permanently delete this information. We have no way to recover it for you.

Daily reminder emails (optional)

After completing your second daily puzzle, you may be offered a daily reminder email. This is entirely optional. If you sign up:

  • Your email address is stored with Resend, our email delivery provider
  • It is used only to send one email per day when the new puzzle is available
  • It is never shared with third parties or used for any other purpose

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any reminder email, or via Menu → Manage Reminders in the game. Your email will be permanently deleted from our systems within 24 hours of unsubscribing.

Email delivery is handled by Resend under their Privacy Policy.

Analytics (optional)

When you first visit CodePop, we ask for your consent to enable Google Analytics (GA4). If you accept, anonymous usage data is collected to help us understand how the game is used and improve it over time.

If you decline, no analytics scripts are loaded. Your consent choice is stored in localStorage and respected on every subsequent visit.

Analytics data collected (only if consented) includes:

  • Page views and session duration
  • General geographic region (country level)
  • Device type and browser (no fingerprinting)
  • Referral source (how you found the game)

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC under their Privacy Policy.

Cookies

CodePop itself sets no cookies. If you have consented to analytics, Google Analytics may set its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to distinguish sessions and measure usage.

These cookies are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Third-party services

CodePop is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may log standard server-side request metadata (IP addresses, user agents) as part of their infrastructure. This is governed by Vercel's Privacy Policy.

If you opt in to daily reminders, your email address is processed by Resend solely for email delivery. Resend's Privacy Policy governs how they handle that data.

Your rights

Your game data lives in your browser — you can delete it at any time by clearing your site data. We have no way to recover it for you.

If you have subscribed to daily reminders, you can request deletion of your email address at any time by unsubscribing via any reminder email or via Menu → Manage Reminders.

You can change your analytics consent at any time using the button below, or via Menu -> Privacy settings on the game page.
