Privacy Policy ✨

1. Principles of Data Minimization

We strictly enforce data minimization principles. Because Emoji Sudoku (emojisudoku.com) features no user registration, user login profiles, or server-side database accounts, we do not intentionally collect, process, or store identifiable personal data such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers.

2. Local Device Storage Mechanics

To optimize your gameplay session, the Service utilizes standard client-side browser storage mechanisms (such as localStorage or session cookies). This data remains entirely on your local machine and is not transferred to our backend network or shared with external third parties.

If you utilize the "Share Game" feature, the generated URL contains only anonymous values representing the specific layout configuration of that puzzle. These links do not encode, transmission, or leak your device indicators, geographic parameters, or game performance metrics.

3. Server Logs and Technical Data

Our web servers automatically record temporary hosting logs consisting of anonymized IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, and requested page timestamps. This metadata is processed strictly to maintain operational security, audit backend generation engines, and ensure daily puzzle delivery stability.

4. What We Track Locally

• Theme States: Active visual selections and holiday configuration states are retained natively in your browser layer.
• Active Gameplay Timer: Real-time session clocks and active puzzle elapsed times run strictly within your local browser memory to track your current game duration.
• User Control: You can remove all cached application tracking data at any moment by clearing your web browser cookies, local storage, and site cache data.

5. Third-Party Services and Analytics

We may utilize third-party hosting providers, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), or basic traffic analytics tools to optimize website performance. These external services may automatically process standard network identifiers (such as IP addresses) subject to their respective privacy policies. We do not sell or lease any user data.

6. Children's Privacy

Our services are casual in nature and not directed at children under the age of 13. Because we do not offer user accounts or collect personal information, we do not knowingly solicit or maintain data from minors.

7. Policy Updates and Contact

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be reflected immediately upon updating this page. If you have any inquiries regarding our technical data minimization practices, you may contact the platform operators.
