Peekery Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 3, 2026
Peekery ("we," "us") is a daily hidden-object puzzle at playpeekery.com, run by [OPERATOR LEGAL NAME / BUSINESS NAME]. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. Questions: [CONTACT EMAIL], or write to [MAILING ADDRESS].
What we collect
If you just play. You don't need an account. Your streak, finished days, and settings are saved in your own browser's local storage. While you play, the site uses a short-lived session ID so our server can check your taps and remember which items you've found. We record taps, hints used, and finish times for that session, and we use them to run the game and calculate overall stats like solve rates and median times.
Technical data. Like most websites, our servers receive your IP address and basic device and browser details. We use IP addresses for a short time to block abuse and limit automated traffic, and our host may use them for security.
If you sign up for email. We collect your email address, your birth year, whether you opted in to occasional news, and when you agreed. We also store an unsubscribe token and your streak so we can restore it on another device. We ask for your birth year only to confirm you're old enough to sign up. We don't ask for your name or a password.
Sign-in links. If you ask to open your streak on another device, we email you a one-time link that expires after 30 minutes.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how many people play, how they find us, and which features they use. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technology. We don't send your email address or other information that directly identifies you to Google. To learn how Google uses this data, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. If you're in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, analytics only runs if you agree to it in our cookie banner.
How we use it
We use this information to run the puzzle and check answers, save and restore your streak, send the daily puzzle email and sign-in links, see how Peekery is used so we can improve it, keep the site secure and stop cheating or abuse, and meet our legal obligations.
Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers that help us run Peekery and are allowed to use it only for that purpose:
- Cloudflare, which hosts the site and our database
- Resend, which delivers our emails
- Google, for analytics
We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or someone's safety, or if Peekery is sold or merged. We don't sell your email address or birth year.
Our puzzle images are made with AI image tools. We don't send them any personal information about players.
Emails
The daily puzzle email is the reason you signed up. Every email includes a one-tap unsubscribe link, and once you unsubscribe we stop sending you puzzle and news emails. We may still send a sign-in link if you ask for one.
Children
Peekery is made for adults, and email sign-up is only for people 13 and older. If the birth year entered shows someone is under 13, we don't save their email address, and we turn off analytics and personalized ads on that device. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Your choices and rights
- Unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
- Delete your data. Email [CONTACT EMAIL] and we'll delete your email address, birth year, and streak. You can also clear the data saved in your browser by clearing site data in your browser settings.
- Access or correction. Ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it.
- Cookies. Change your cookie choices with the "Your privacy choices" link in the footer.
Depending on where you live, including California, other US states, the EU, EEA, and the UK, you may have more rights. For example, you may be able to object to or restrict some uses, move your data to another service, or complain to your local data protection authority. We'll answer requests within the time the law requires and won't treat you differently for using your rights.
For EU, EEA, and UK visitors: We use your information to provide the service you asked for, such as the daily email and your saved streak. We also rely on your consent for marketing emails, analytics, and ad cookies, and on our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and running well. Our providers may handle your information in the United States, under appropriate safeguards such as the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
How long we keep it
Puzzle session records and IP-based abuse records are deleted after [X DAYS]. Your subscriber details and streak are kept until you ask us to delete them, or for [X MONTHS] after you unsubscribe. After that, we keep only overall stats that can't identify you.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted connections and limited access to our data. No system is perfectly secure.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll tell subscribers by email before it takes effect.
