Privacy

Thwop never asks for your email or other personal details.

What we store

• A random ID in a cookie and your browser’s storage, so Thwop remembers your puzzles. It is created the first time you play or make a puzzle.
• Your puzzles and play: puzzles you make, your guesses and solves, who you follow, and which social networks you’ve posted your puzzles to.
• Which shared link brought you to Thwop, and who shared it, so we can see how the game spreads.
• Optional name. Your name is shown to people whose puzzles you play and people who play yours.
• Optional password. We generate the password and keep only a scrambled version of it.
• Basic logs of visits and actions, kept for 90 days. We don’t store IP addresses or browser details.

We don’t send email, show ads, use third-party trackers, or share your data. Puzzles you post to Facebook, Threads, X or Bluesky go through those networks, under their own privacy policies.

Children

Thwop isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information (like a name) from them.

Deleting your data

Go to Puzzles and choose “Delete my data”. That deletes your name, the puzzles you made, who you follow and any password. Database backups are kept for up to 30 days, so deleted data is gone from them within a month.
