Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 30, 2026
Overview
Distance.wtf is a daily distance guessing game. We aim to keep the game simple and collect as little information as reasonably necessary.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be stored or processed when you use Distance.wtf.
Information We Collect
Distance.wtf does not require you to create an account and does not ask you to provide personal information such as your name, phone number, password, or payment information in order to play.
The game itself primarily stores game-related information locally in your browser.
Limited technical and usage information may also be processed through our website hosting provider and analytics service as described below.
Local Storage
Distance.wtf uses your browser's local storage to save information required for the game.
This may include:
- Game statistics
- Current and best streaks
- Daily puzzle completion status
- Guess distribution
- Share-result information
This game information is stored locally in your browser and is not sent to Distance.wtf servers as part of the game's local statistics system.
Your saved game information is specific to the browser and device you are using.
Clearing your browser's website data, local storage, or using another browser or device may remove or reset your saved game statistics and progress.
Analytics
Distance.wtf uses Umami Analytics to understand how the website is used and to help improve the game.
Analytics may include information such as page views, referring websites, browser and device information, operating system, general geographic information, and interactions with certain features of the game.
We may record game-related events such as whether a game was started or completed, whether the completed game resulted in a win or loss, the number of attempts used, and whether the Share Result feature was selected.
We do not send your individual guesses, the correct puzzle answer, your locally stored statistics, streak information, or your share-result text to Umami.
Umami is used as a privacy-focused analytics service and is not used by Distance.wtf for cross-site advertising or user profiling.
Cookies
Distance.wtf currently does not use cookies for advertising, user profiling, or cross-site tracking.
The game uses browser local storage for features such as statistics, streaks, and daily completion status.
If our use of cookies or similar technologies changes in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain those changes.
Hosting and Technical Information
Although Distance.wtf does not currently operate a backend that stores your game progress, the service used to host the website may automatically process limited technical information when you access the site.
This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, request timestamps, and server logs.
This information may be processed for purposes such as delivering the website, maintaining security, diagnosing technical problems, preventing abuse, and ensuring reliable operation of the service.
The handling and retention of this information may also be subject to the privacy practices of the hosting provider.
Security
We take reasonable steps to keep Distance.wtf secure.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Distance.wtf does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
The game does not require users to create an account or provide personal information in order to play.
If you believe personal information has been provided to us by a child, please contact us so that we can review the situation.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose information where required to do so by applicable law, regulation, legal process, court order, or a valid request from a public authority.
External Links
Distance.wtf may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
If you follow an external link, you will be subject to the privacy practices and policies of that third-party service.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites or services.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time if Distance.wtf changes how the game operates, introduces new features, or begins using additional services.
When this Privacy Policy is updated, the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page will also be changed.
We encourage you to review this page periodically for any updates.
