🔒 Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 March 2026

Hi there! Welcome to Puzzling Fun (puzzling-fun.com). We know privacy stuff can sound boring, but it's really important — especially for a site that kids use. So here's the deal: we take your privacy seriously, and we've written this page to explain exactly what happens when you visit our site.

      🌟 The short version: We don't collect your personal information. We don't ask for your name, age, email, or anything like that to play our games. Your puzzle fun stays private!
    

👋 Who We Are

Puzzling Fun is a free website that offers puzzle games for kids and families. We're based online at puzzling-fun.com. If you ever need to contact us about privacy, you can email us at admin@puzzling-fun.com.

📦 What Information We Collect

We want to be completely upfront: we collect as little as possible.

No accounts or sign-ups. You don't need to create an account to play any of our games. We don't ask for your name, email address, age, or any other personal details.
No personal data from kids. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in certain regions). Our games are designed to be played without sharing any personal data.
Game data stays on your device. Any game progress (like puzzle settings or preferences) is stored locally in your web browser using standard browser storage. This data never leaves your device and is never sent to us.

🍪 Cookies & Similar Technologies

Our games themselves do not set any tracking cookies. However, here's what you should know:

Essential browser storage: We may use your browser's local storage to remember things like your last-chosen grid size or difficulty level. This is stored on your device only and is not shared with anyone.
Third-party services: If we use any third-party services (such as analytics or advertising in the future), those services may set their own cookies. We will update this policy if and when that happens, and we will never allow services that target children with personalised advertising.

📊 Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics tools to understand how many people visit our site and which games are most popular. This data is aggregated and anonymous — it tells us things like "50 people played Sudoku today" but never identifies any individual visitor. We do not use analytics tools that track users across websites or build personal profiles.

📢 Advertising

If we display advertisements on our site in the future, we will:

Never show personalised or targeted ads to children.
Only work with advertising partners that comply with children's privacy laws.
Update this policy to explain exactly what ads are shown and by whom.

Currently, we do not display any advertisements.

🔗 Links to Other Websites

Our site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you (and your parents or guardians) to read the privacy policies of any website you visit.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Information for Parents & Guardians

Puzzling Fun is designed to be enjoyed by children. Here's what parents should know:

We do not collect personal information from your child.
We do not require registration, sign-ups, or email addresses to play.
We comply with applicable children's privacy laws, including the UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code), the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If you believe we have inadvertently collected any personal data from a child, please contact us immediately at admin@puzzling-fun.com and we will delete it promptly.

🔐 Data Security

Since we don't collect personal data, there's very little to protect — and that's by design! Any data stored in your browser (like game preferences) stays on your device. We use HTTPS encryption across our entire site to keep your connection secure.

🌍 Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your data under laws like the GDPR or CCPA. Since we don't collect personal data, there's typically nothing to request access to, correct, or delete. However, if you have any concerns, please get in touch and we'll do our best to help.

📝 Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally.
