Privacy Policy

Angledle is a small daily puzzle that runs in your browser. We collect as little as we can — no account, no sign-up, no personal profile. The only game data that leaves your device is an anonymous record of each game you play, used for the “how everyone played” statistics. The site is paid for by ads (see Advertising). This page explains exactly what happens to your data.

Your game data

Your puzzle progress, statistics, streaks, and settings are stored locally on your device using your browser’s storage. Clearing your browser storage erases it permanently.

Anonymous game results

When you finish one of the three daily games, your browser sends an anonymous record of that game to our server once, so we can show everyone how the crowd played that day:

• Guess the Angle — each guess, the time between guesses, and how it was entered (the ± buttons or the keyboard, including the sequence of button presses).
• Draw It — the angles you drew.
• Higher or Lower — the card you picked for each question.
• Draw It and Higher or Lower — how long the game took, the time of each move, and whether it was made with a pointer (mouse or touch) or the keyboard.
• Every record — the daily puzzle number, the device type (touch or pointer), your local time and UTC offset, and a random id that only identifies that one record.

No IP address, account, cookie or other identifier is stored with it, and records are only ever shown as aggregated percentages. Your browser keeps a small “already sent” marker in its storage so the same game is never sent twice. The records are used only for these crowd statistics.

Analytics

To get a rough sense of how many people visit and which puzzles they enjoy, we use two analytics tools:

Fathom Analytics — a privacy-first, cookieless analytics service. It counts anonymous, aggregated page views without setting cookies, without storing personal data, and without building a profile of you or following you across other sites. Because it stores nothing on your device, it runs by default.

PostHog — product analytics that helps us improve the game. It does not record your sessions. PostHog runs only if you accept analytics in the consent banner; decline and it stays off. Its data is hosted in the European Union.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

Angledle is free and paid for by ads from Google AdSense, a third-party vendor: at most one per page, none on About, this Privacy page and the “page not found” page.

• With your Advertising consent, ads may be personalized based on your activity on other sites.
• Without it, ads are still shown but not personalized. Google may still use cookies to limit repeats, measure ads and prevent fraud.
• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, ads are not personalized either way.

On your first visit, no ad is requested until you answer the consent banner. You can change your choice at any time in Cookie settings; when you withdraw it, we delete the ad cookies Google set on angledle.com. How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Fathom also counts, anonymously, page views where an ad failed to load.

Angledle is not directed at children under 13 (16 in some EEA countries).

Cookies & consent

Angledle itself uses only the local storage needed to run the game, remember your preferences and mark which results were already sent. The consent banner has two optional choices: analytics (PostHog) and advertising (ad personalization). Fathom stores nothing on your device. You can change your choices at any time via Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.

What we don’t do

We don’t sell your data, and ads are personalized only with your consent.
