Privacy Policy

Information ordinary play does not require

Starting a game does not require a name, email address, phone number, or password. The site has no user registration or login and does not require identity documents or payment information to play.

Information stored in the current browser

Local storage may hold your current and best scores, a short list of recent games, daily-challenge progress, hint and undo state, and interface choices such as sound, sidebar state, and theme. This information stays on your device and does not automatically sync to another browser or phone.

Clearing site data for 2048.plyyard.com will usually remove those records. Whether uninstalling the PWA also removes site data depends on the operating system and browser.

Network requests and infrastructure data

• Pages and game assets: Hosted by this site and loaded through your browser.
• Hints: Calculated in a browser Worker; the full board is not uploaded to a cloud game engine.
• Hosting and security: To deliver pages, prevent abuse, and diagnose failures, hosting services may process standard technical data such as IP address, request time, browser headers, requested path, and error information.
• External resources: Core gameplay does not depend on a third-party font or image CDN; primary fonts and images are served by this site.

Cookies, advertising, and analytics

Ordinary play uses no login cookie. The site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-8EWY47HNXY) to understand aggregate traffic such as page views, approximate region, device type, browser, and referral source. The same measurement ID is used on the Ply Yard studio site and other Ply Yard game hosts, so Google may treat visits from the same browser across those hostnames as related. Analytics is not used to replay your games and is not tied to a player account; advertising storage is denied by default. Cloudflare also injects a Web Analytics script to measure page-load performance at the edge; those beacons go to a same-origin endpoint on this site. Google's privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Blocking analytics does not prevent you from playing.

Installing the site as a PWA

After the site is added to a home screen, the browser or operating system stores icons, cached files, and site data on the device for quicker opening. A cache may briefly retain an older interface. Clearing site data removes local content; uninstall behavior varies by platform.

When you email us

If you write to contact@plyyard.com, we receive the sending address, mail headers, and any text, screenshots, or device details you choose to provide. We use them to classify the report, reproduce the issue, and reply—not to build a marketing list.

Do not send passwords, payment information, identity documents, or unredacted screenshots containing another person's private information. None of that is needed to investigate a board issue.

Minors

The site does not ask players to provide their age. Guardians should help minors avoid including names, schools, contact details, or other identifying information in email or screenshots.

Retention and deletion

Local game data remains under the browser's control until you clear site data or the browser removes it. Technical logs and email are retained only as needed for operations, security, troubleshooting, and applicable legal requirements.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page if storage, analytics, or third-party integrations change materially. A new version applies after publication; review it again after a relevant feature changes.
