Bluffed is a small daily word game. It has no tracking cookies and no third-party scripts. This page outlines exactly what it does keep.
Kept on your device
Your answers (for today and for any past bluffs you play), your stats and streak, and your choices (such as having seen the instructions) are saved in your browser's local storage so the game can remember you. They never leave your device. Clearing your browser's site data for Bluffed erases them.
Sent to us, and only if you leave it switched on
When you finish a day, the game sends three things so it can show how you compare with other players:
- the date of the puzzle,
- which rounds you got right and wrong (for example right, wrong, right),
- a random ID made on your device. It is not your name, not an account and not linked to anything about you. It is used only so you are counted once a day.
The words and definitions you saw are never sent. We do not store your IP address, location, browser or device details with your result.
How long it is kept
The random ID is scrambled (hashed) before it is stored, and it is deleted from our records about two days after the puzzle, once it is no longer needed to count you once. What stays is an anonymous tally for that day: how many players got each score. The comparison is only shown once at least 20 players have taken part, so small numbers cannot be traced to anyone.
Your choice
You can switch this off at any time: open Stats in the game and untick Include my results in the daily player comparison. Doing so stops any sending and deletes the random ID from your device. You can still see the comparison. Because the ID is deleted from our records after two days and was never linked to you, results sent earlier cannot be traced back to you afterwards.
When you share your result
The link you share ends in a short code made only of your right and wrong rounds (for example 101). It opens a page that shows your score as a picture and takes the visitor on to the game. Nothing else is in it: no words, no definitions, no ID and nothing about you, and Bluffed does not record who opens it.
Our host
The site is delivered by Cloudflare, which, like any web host, handles the technical details of each request (such as your IP address) to deliver the page and protect it from abuse, under its own privacy policy. Bluffed does not receive or keep that information.
To spot problems, Bluffed keeps a simple technical log of the comparison service: when something went wrong or a request was refused, and which part of the service it was. Those lines contain nothing from your request, such as your random ID or results, and nothing about you.
Who runs Bluffed
Bluffed is made and run by an independent developer. For any question about this page, or a request about your data, write to contact@bluffed.io.
