Privacy
Last updated November 12, 2026
Splits is a daily puzzle game. There are no accounts, no ads and no cookies, and we never ask for your name or email. Here’s everything the site keeps, and why.
In your browser
Your puzzles in progress, your times, streaks and lifetime stats are saved in your browser’s local storage, so you can pick up where you left off. They stay on your device. Clearing your browser’s site data for Splits deletes them. Progress isn’t shared between devices or browsers.
Sent to our server
Your browser makes up a random ID the first time you play (letters and numbers, nothing about you) and sends it along with:
- each puzzle’s finishing time (including any time penalties),
- how many of the day’s theme words you found,
- that you visited on a given day.
We use these to work out each day’s par (the median time), the number of players, where your time ranks, and how many players come back on later days. What anyone else sees is only these totals: never your ID or anything tied to it. Times are kept so we can look at trends over time.
Hosting and analytics
The site runs on Cloudflare, which handles every request and keeps standard technical logs (such as IP addresses) to deliver and protect the site; see Cloudflare’s privacy policy. We may also use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It doesn’t use cookies or follow you across other sites.
What we don't do
We don’t sell or share your data, show ads, or use advertising trackers. If that ever changes, we’ll update this page first, and ask before anything that needs your consent.
Sharing your results
“Share my day” only creates text (your time and a row of squares) for you to send where you like. Nothing is posted anywhere for you.
