Plungle

Privacy Policy

Effective 20 October 2026

Who we are

Plungle is a daily word game, available as an app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro, and at plungle.vercel.app and krillion.ai. It is run by Plungle (operated by Alexander Canton, Queensland, Australia). "We" and "us" in this policy mean that operator.

The app

• Your answers stay with you. The app never sends your answers, or anything that identifies you, to us or to anyone else. We have no server that stores them.
• Stored on your device. Your answers, today's progress, streak, best scores and settings are saved in the app's own storage on your device. They are used only to run the game for you.
• How rare your answer is. The "said this" percentages come from answer counts built into the app plus the games played on your device. Your answers are not uploaded or compared with other people's.
• Reminders are optional. If you turn on daily reminders, the app schedules a local notification on your device. Your device asks for your permission first, and you can turn reminders off in the app or in your device’s notification settings at any time. These are not push notifications: nothing is sent from a server and no device token is collected.
• Sharing is your choice. When you tap Share, your device opens its share sheet with your result. Only what you choose to send is shared, with the app or person you pick. We don't see it.
• Analytics, from version 1.0.1. The app counts app opens, time played and four game events with Vercel Web Analytics and Google Analytics for Firebase, as described under Analytics below. Version 1.0 sends nothing at all.
• No ads or tracking. The app contains no advertising or crash-reporting code, does not use Apple's advertising identifier, and doesn't track you across other companies' apps or websites.
• No accounts. You never sign in, and we never ask for your name, email, location, contacts or photos.

The website

The game at plungle.vercel.app and krillion.ai works the same way: your progress is kept in your browser's local storage on your device, and your answers are never sent to us.

Analytics

To see how many people play and how often they come back, the website and the app (from version 1.0.1) use two analytics services. Neither ever receives your answers.

• Vercel Web Analytics is cookieless and only reports aggregated totals. It counts page views (in the app, one each time you open it, sent by loading a small page from plungle.vercel.app out of sight) and the game events below.
• Google Analytics (Google LLC) counts visits, sessions, time spent and the game events below, and shows how many people return. On the website it uses first-party cookies (_ga) to tell visits apart; in the app, Google Analytics for Firebase uses a random app-instance ID instead. It doesn't use Apple's advertising identifier, and we have switched off Google signals and ad personalisation, so nothing is used for advertising. Google works out an approximate location (country and city) from your IP address and doesn't store the address. If you visit the website from the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, Google Analytics runs without cookies. Data is kept for up to 14 months. Read how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services; on the website you can also block it with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

The game events are:

• dive_complete: someone finished the daily game, with the final depth and score;
• share_tap: someone tapped Copy or Share on their result;
• endless_start: someone started Endless mode;
• day2_return: someone finished the daily game on a second day in a row or more, with the streak length;
• app_store_tap (website only): someone tapped the App Store badge.

These events never include your answers. Neither service identifies you across other companies' apps or websites. Like any web host, Vercel and Google process your IP address to deliver the service and keep it secure, and use it to work out your country for the totals. Google may process analytics data in the United States and other countries.

This page and the support page load no analytics, fonts or scripts from anyone.

Children

Plungle is suitable for all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children, and our analytics never include names, contact details or answers.

Selling and sharing data

We don't sell your data or share it for advertising. Vercel and Google process analytics data only to produce the counts described above.

Deleting your data

• App: remove Plungle and its stored data from your device.
• Website: clear the site data for plungle.vercel.app or krillion.ai in your browser settings.

We hold no copy of your game, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side. Analytics records aren't linked to your name or contact details, so we can't look up one person's records; Google deletes them after 14 months. Clearing site data (website) or removing the app also resets the analytics ID.

Your privacy rights

We aim to handle privacy in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Since we don't hold personal information about you, there is normally nothing to access or correct, but you're welcome to ask us about it.

Changes to this policy

If we add a feature that changes what is collected (for example online answer counts or advertising), we will update this policy and its effective date before that feature goes live, and update the App Store privacy details to match.
