Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

1. Overview

Guess The Arab (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates guessthearab.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

Automatically collected: When you visit the Site, we may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, and pages visited. This is handled by Vercel Analytics (see Section 5).

Locally stored data: We store the following data in your browser's localStorage — it never leaves your device:

A randomly generated anonymous identifier to track your game scores
Your game progress and daily challenge history
Your language preference (English or Arabic)

No registration required: We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information through the Site itself.

3. How We Use Information

To operate and improve the Site and its game features
To understand general usage patterns (via anonymous analytics)
To display advertisements (via Google AdSense)
To maintain the security and performance of the Site

4. Advertising — Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time:

For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses cookies in advertising.

5. Analytics — Vercel Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors use the Site (e.g. page views, country of origin). This data is not linked to any individual and does not include personally identifiable information. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

6. Cookies

We do not set first-party cookies. Third-party services integrated into this Site — including Google AdSense and Vercel Analytics — may set their own cookies as described in their respective privacy policies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings or the opt-out links listed in Section 4.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share anonymous, aggregated data with:

Vercel — our hosting provider (infrastructure and analytics)
Google — advertising (AdSense) and associated services
Supabase — our database provider (stores public game content only; no user data is stored server-side)

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Since we store virtually no personal data server-side, most data you wish to remove can simply be cleared from your browser's localStorage and cookies.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect the Site. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
