Privacy policy

Effective September 29, 2026

Jumpscaredle doesn't collect, store, or share any personal data. There are no accounts, no cookies, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking of any kind.

What the game saves, and where

To remember your progress, Jumpscaredle saves a few small pieces of data in your own browser using a feature called local storage. This data stays on your device. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, and we have no way to see it.

Saved as	What it holds
`jumpscaredle:game`	Today's puzzle number, the guesses you've made, whether you won, whether hard mode was on, and how many times you were jumpscared on that puzzle.
`jumpscaredle:stats`	Your totals: games played, wins, streaks, how many guesses your wins took, and total jumpscares.
`jumpscaredle:settings`	Your scare volume, hard mode, and high contrast settings, and whether you've turned off the welcome popup or closed the sound check.

None of this identifies you. You can delete all of it at any time with Settings → Clear my data in the game, or by clearing this site's data in your browser.

What we don't do

No accounts, sign-ins, or email addresses.
No cookies, tracking pixels, or fingerprinting.
No analytics or usage tracking.
No advertising.
No requests to third-party services. Fonts, images, and sounds are all served from jumpscaredle.com itself.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare's servers necessarily receive standard technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, in order to deliver the page to you and protect the site from attacks. Jumpscaredle doesn't have access to that information and doesn't store it. Cloudflare's handling of it is covered by the Cloudflare privacy policy.

Children

Jumpscaredle doesn't knowingly collect information from anyone, including children. The game contains sudden loud sounds and startling images, and isn't intended for young children.

Changes to this policy

If Jumpscaredle ever adds something that affects your privacy, such as advertising, this page will be updated before that change goes live, and the effective date above will change.
