Privacy Policy

Overview

MIDDIO is a daily word puzzle designed for quick, casual play. This Privacy Policy explains what information is used to operate the website, keep puzzle progress reliable, provide streaks and leaderboards, measure site performance, and improve the overall experience.

MIDDIO does not require account registration, passwords, payment details, or real-name identity verification. The game is built to work with minimal information while still allowing users to keep local progress, save a username, and appear on daily leaderboard features if they choose to participate.

Information We Use

When you use MIDDIO, the website may use a randomly generated device identifier stored in a browser cookie or similar local browser storage. This identifier helps connect your device to your puzzle progress, completed results, timer state, clue use, streak information, and leaderboard participation.

If you save a username, that username is stored so it can appear with your streak and leaderboard activity. Please choose a username that you are comfortable displaying publicly. Do not include sensitive personal information in your username.

We may also process technical information such as browser type, approximate device category, pages visited, event interactions, and performance data. This information is used to understand how the website is used, detect errors, improve mobile usability, and keep the game stable.

Game Progress and Leaderboard Data

MIDDIO stores puzzle-related information such as attempts used, whether the puzzle was solved, whether a clue was used, completion time, streak information, and daily leaderboard rank. These records are necessary to show your result screen, calculate fair ranking, prevent duplicate submissions, and maintain the integrity of daily play.

Leaderboard entries are based on gameplay data and the username saved by the user. The leaderboard does not require a user to provide an email address or full legal name.

Analytics and Event Measurement

MIDDIO may use Google Analytics or similar analytics tools to understand site traffic, real-time usage, puzzle interactions, device categories, and general performance trends. Analytics may help us measure events such as page views, puzzle starts, clue use, completed puzzles, result sharing, username saves, and leaderboard views.

Analytics tools may set their own cookies or use similar technologies according to their policies. The information is used in aggregated and diagnostic ways to improve the product experience, identify broken flows, and understand how visitors interact with the website.

Cookies and Local Storage

Cookies and local browser storage may be used to remember your anonymous device identifier, restore game state after refresh, avoid showing introductory help repeatedly, maintain timing accuracy, and support streak and leaderboard functionality. Some cookies or local storage entries are essential for the game to function properly.

You can clear cookies or site data through your browser settings. Clearing site data may reset your local progress, saved username connection, streak display on that browser, and other device-based preferences.

What We Do Not Collect

MIDDIO does not ask for payment card details, government identification, postal address, date of birth, or sensitive profile information. The website does not offer cash prizes, gambling, betting, wagering, deposits, withdrawals, or financial rewards.

How Information Is Used

Information is used to operate the puzzle, preserve fair results, display streaks and rankings, prevent duplicate or invalid submissions, diagnose technical issues, improve the user interface, understand traffic trends, and protect the website from misuse or abusive automated activity.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Limited technical data may be processed by service providers that help operate hosting, analytics, security, diagnostics, or performance measurement. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services.

Children’s Privacy

MIDDIO is a general-audience word puzzle. The website is not designed to collect personal information from children. Users should avoid entering personal details in usernames or messages. If a parent or guardian believes that inappropriate information has been provided, they may contact us for review.

Your Choices

You can choose not to save a username, although some leaderboard and streak features may require one to display your progress clearly. You can clear cookies or local browser storage at any time through your browser. You may also contact us to request review of information associated with a username or device-based gameplay record where technically possible.
