This privacy policy covers both our website (puzzlegenio.com) and our browser extension (PuzzleGenio - Daily Puzzles & Puzzle Maker). At PuzzleGenio, your privacy is of utmost importance to us, and this privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our services.

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Browser Extension
Our browser extension (PuzzleGenio - Daily Puzzles & Puzzle Maker) is designed with privacy in mind. Here is how it handles your data:
Local Storage Only
All game progress (sudoku state, word search state, and daily streak) is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage using the Chrome Storage API. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server.
No Data Collection
The extension does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information, browsing history, or user activity data. We have no analytics, tracking, or telemetry in the extension.
Permissions Explained
The extension requests only two permissions: 'contextMenus' (to add right-click menu options for creating puzzles from selected text or images) and 'storage' (to save your game progress locally in your browser). No other permissions are requested or required.
Context Menu Links
When you use the right-click menu to create a puzzle, the extension opens a new tab to puzzlegenio.com with the selected text or image URL as a URL parameter. This is the only interaction between the extension and our website. Standard UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium) are included for analytics purposes on the website side only.
No Remote Code
The extension does not load or execute any remote code. All puzzle generation logic runs entirely within the extension on your device.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "effective date" at the top of this policy. You are advised to review this privacy policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this privacy policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
