Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2026

No Personal Information Collected

GeoProwl does not collect personal information from any user. There are no accounts, no email collection, no login, and no registration. We do not ask for or store names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other identifying information.

What We Do Store

On your device (localStorage): Game scores, streaks, progress, and a randomly generated session identifier. This data stays on your device and is not linked to your identity.

On our servers: Anonymous game results (scores and completion data) associated with a one-way hashed session identifier. This data cannot be traced back to any individual.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how the site is used — which pages are visited and how long users spend on them. GA4 anonymizes IP addresses by default. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using a browser plugin.

Advertising

GeoProwl displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to serve ads, including ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. This may involve Google and its partners collecting and sharing information about your device and browsing activity for ad personalization and measurement.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, you will be shown a consent choice that lets you control whether Google and its ad-technology partners may use cookies and personal data to personalize ads, and you can withdraw that consent at any time through the same consent tool.

You can opt out of personalized advertising generally at Google Ads Settings or via the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Third-Party Services

  • Google AdSense — displays advertising; see "Advertising" above
  • Google Analytics — anonymous usage analytics
  • Vercel — hosting and content delivery
  • Unsplash — blog post images
  • Supabase — anonymous game data storage
  • Mapbox — interactive maps

Each service has its own privacy policy governing the data they process.

Children

GeoProwl is designed for educational use by students, teachers, and families, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from any user regardless of age. Ads on GeoProwl are served without relying on personal information collected from the site itself; visitors who want to limit ad personalization further can use the controls described in "Advertising" above.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Since we don't collect contact information, we cannot notify users directly — please check back periodically.
