Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 September 2026
This policy explains what play-2048.io does with your information. The short version: you can play the game without giving us anything at all. No account, no email address, no name.
Site owner: this page is a starting template, not legal advice. Before you publish it, replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder, and delete any section describing a service you do not actually use. A privacy policy that describes the wrong services is worse than no policy at all. If you serve visitors in the EU, the UK or California, have a qualified lawyer review it.
Who We Are
This site is operated by [YOUR NAME OR COMPANY NAME], referred to below as we or us. You can contact us at [YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS].
What We Store on Your Device
The game saves a small amount of data in your browser's local storage. This stays on your device. It is never sent to us and we cannot read it.
| What is stored | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your best score | So the game can show your personal record | Until you clear your browser data |
| Your current game board | So you can close the tab and continue later | Until you clear your browser data |
| Your chosen game mode | So the site opens in the mode you prefer | Until you clear your browser data |
To delete all of it, clear your browsing data for this site in your browser settings. Your scores will reset to zero.
Information You Choose to Give Us
If you post a comment, we store the comment text, the name you type and the time you posted it. Do not include personal details you would not want published, because comments are visible to every visitor.
To have a comment removed, email us at [YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS] with enough detail to identify it.
Analytics
We use [ANALYTICS PROVIDER, e.g. Google Analytics 4 or Plausible] to understand how many people visit and which pages they read. This tells us which guides are useful and which need work.
The data we see is aggregated. We look at page views, approximate country, device type and referring site. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors.
Site owner: if you use no analytics at all, delete this whole section. If you use a different provider, name it.
Advertising
[DELETE THIS SECTION IF YOU SHOW NO ADS.]
We display advertising supplied by [AD NETWORK, e.g. Google AdSense]. Ad networks may use cookies to measure performance and to limit how often you see the same advert.
You can manage Google's personalised advertising at myadcenter.google.com, and opt out of many other networks at optout.aboutads.info.
Cookies
The game itself does not require cookies to work. Any cookies present come from the analytics or advertising services named above.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking them will not stop the game from working.
What We Never Do
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not ask you to create an account to play.
- We do not ask for your email address, phone number or payment details.
- We do not send marketing emails.
- We do not track you across other websites.
Children
2048 is suitable for all ages and this site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has posted personal details in a comment, email us at [YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS] and we will remove it.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what data we hold about you, to request a copy, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to certain processing. Visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR. Residents of California have comparable rights under the CCPA and CPRA.
Because we do not run accounts, the only data linked to you personally is anything you typed into a comment. Email [YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS] to exercise any of these rights, and we will respond within one month.
Links to Other Sites
Some pages link to sites we do not control, such as Wikipedia. This policy does not cover them. Please read their own privacy policies before sharing information with them.
Data Security
The site is served over HTTPS, which encrypts traffic between your browser and our server. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top always shows the most recent version. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
