Privacy policy

Unvil needs no account and no email address. Here is exactly what data is used, and why. Last updated: 13 November 2026.

What stays on your device

Your progress (games in progress, streak, stats, trophies), your settings and a random identifier are kept in your browser’s local storage. They do not leave your device, except as described below. You can delete them at any time from your browser settings, or clear your stats from the game settings.

The daily players counter

To show how many players solved today’s photo, the game sends the server an encrypted fingerprint of your random identifier, the puzzle date and whether you solved it. It cannot be traced back to you: no name, email address or IP address is attached.

Scoring unknown words

When this feature is enabled, a word the game does not know may be sent, with the photo’s number, to an AI service (Anthropic) that scores how close it is to the answer. No information about the player is sent.

Analytics

If analytics (Google Analytics) is enabled, a message asks for your consent before anything is measured. Without consent, nothing is measured. Measured events are about game usage (game started, puzzle solved, result shared); neither the answer nor your guesses are sent.

Advertising

Unvil is free thanks to advertising (Google AdSense): ads may appear at the end of a game and on help pages, never during play. Unvil may also offer to watch an ad to unlock a hint early; it is always the player’s choice. Google’s consent message lets you accept or refuse advertising cookies; if you refuse, ads are not personalised. No ads appear on private Unvil Life photos.

Team mode

When you create or join a team, the server stores the team code, the date of the picture and the useful words shared by its members. No name, nickname or identifier is attached. This data is deleted after two days.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes the technical data needed to serve pages (IP address, browser) and keep the service secure.

Your rights

Game data lives on your device: clearing it in your browser deletes it. Counter data is anonymous. For Google Analytics and ads, you can change your choice from the consent message or your Google account settings.
