Welcome to NutriGuess. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our daily nutrition guessing game.

Local Storage Data

NutriGuess stores the following information locally in your browser:

• Your game progress (guesses, hints used, current puzzle state)

We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to understand how users interact with our game. This includes anonymous data such as page views, device type, and performance metrics. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

Cloudflare may collect anonymous technical data such as IP addresses (not stored permanently), browser types, and request patterns for security and optimization purposes. Learn more at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data:
