What the game stores locally.

Guessfolk uses browser localStorage with keys beginning guessfolk:v1:. It stores question/rule snapshots, your current answer draft, accepted answers, scores, hints, skipped questions, mode, the practice deck and Daily dates/results. A minimal reference ledger stores question semantic IDs, which kinds of reference were displayed and when tracking began. A separate incomplete-coverage flag is retained when possible if history cannot be read or written. Tracked results retain the reference state known before that answer; old results remain untracked. This allows you to reload or return to an unfinished game.

These saves are not sent to a Guessfolk database. They are specific to this browser and device. Private browsing, clearing website data or browser storage limits may prevent them from persisting. A visible message appears when saving fails. Reference-history failures allow play in memory but mark missing coverage unknown, including after reload when the incomplete-coverage flag could be saved. Clearing storage or changing browsers removes that history; it is not a verified record of everything you have seen.

Network requests and tracking.

This version loads only the site’s own HTML, CSS, JavaScript and illustrations. It has no advertising scripts, analytics tracking, remotely loaded fonts, live AI judging or account system. The game code does not set cookies. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process request information such as IP address, requested URL, time and browser headers to serve and protect the site. Hosting and security services may use their own cookies or technical records. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its processing practices; this does not send your locally saved answers to a Guessfolk database.

Sharing and answer feedback.

“Copy result” writes a spoiler-free result to your clipboard when you choose it. It does not post to social media. If clipboard access is unavailable, you can copy the displayed text manually.

“Suggest this answer” and the contact link use mailto: to open your email app. You review and send the email yourself. Sending it shares the email content and your email address with the contact inbox. Do not include private or sensitive details in an answer report.

External reference links open other websites, which have their own policies.

Removing local data.

Use your browser’s site settings to clear stored data for this website. This removes Guessfolk progress/results on this device and cannot be undone by us, because we do not hold a server copy. You can also keep playing in another browser without transferring any records.
