Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 2026. Last updated: September 2026.

Information We Collect

Daily Heardle does not require registration, login, or any form of personal information to play. We do not collect names, email addresses, or phone numbers through normal gameplay. Game progress (which songs you have played and your guess history) is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage and never transmitted to our servers.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with the site. GA4 collects anonymized usage data including page views, session duration, approximate geographic location, device type, and browser information. This data helps us improve the game experience. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique users. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising and Cookies

Daily Heardle displays advertisements through Google AdSense. Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to Daily Heardle and other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

Cookies We Use

• Essential cookies: Local storage entries that save your game progress. These are not transmitted to any server.
• Analytics cookies: Set by Google Analytics to measure site usage (e.g., _ga, _gid).
• Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense and its demand partners to deliver and measure ad performance.

Third-Party Services

Audio previews are loaded from SoundCloud via embedded players. SoundCloud may set its own cookies when the player loads. Please refer to SoundCloud's Privacy Policy for details.

Data Retention

We do not store any personal data on our servers. Google Analytics retains anonymized data for 14 months by default. Local storage data persists in your browser until you clear it manually.

Children's Privacy

Daily Heardle is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
