Privacy Policy

Overview

Gun Guesser ("we", "us", "the site") is a free browser-based game available at gunguesser.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information We Collect

Player name: When you play, you enter a display name. This is stored in your browser's local storage and on our servers for leaderboard purposes. No email, phone number, or real identity is required.

Optional PIN: You may set a 4-digit PIN to save your progress. PINs are hashed before storage and cannot be recovered.

Game data: Scores, round results, and leaderboard entries are stored on our servers to power leaderboards and shared score cards.

Analytics: We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous usage data (page views, performance metrics). No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

Cookies and Local Storage

Gun Guesser uses browser local storage to remember your player name, PIN, daily challenge completion status, and streak. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to third parties.

Third-party services (Google AdSense, Vercel Analytics) may set cookies on your device. These cookies are used for ad personalization, frequency capping, and analytics purposes.
