Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 August 2026
Stagedoordle is a daily Broadway guessing game. This page explains what happens to data when you play. The short version: your game is stored on your own device, and the only thing that ever leaves it is a single anonymous tick recording that somebody played today.
Stagedoordle has no accounts, no logins, no sign-up, no cookies and no third-party trackers. We never ask you for your name, email address, or any other personal detail, and nothing recorded can be traced back to you.
What stays on your device
Your guesses, your win/loss record, your streaks, your chosen difficulty and whether you have seen the help screen are saved in your browser's local storage. This is a storage area belonging to your own browser. None of it is ever transmitted — there is no server collecting it and no account it could be attached to.
Because it lives in your browser, it is specific to that browser on that device, and clearing your browsing data will erase it permanently. We cannot recover it for you, and we cannot see it in the first place.
The one thing that is counted
The first time you make a guess on any given day, the game requests a URL ending in /played. That request carries no name, no identifier, no cookie and no information about your game — not which show, not whether you won. It exists so we can tell how many people play, as opposed to how many merely open the page.
It happens once per browser per day, on your first guess. Guess five more times and nothing further is sent; come back tomorrow and it happens once more.
What we see is a count. Because it is the same web request that serves any page, our host (Cloudflare) processes it the way it processes every other request to the site. Nothing is stored that could distinguish you from anyone else who played that day, and there is no way to link today's tick to yesterday's.
If you would rather not be counted, blocking requests to /played — or simply playing with JavaScript storage disabled — has no effect on the game whatsoever.
Cookies
The game sets no cookies of its own and includes no third-party trackers.
Children
Stagedoordle is a general-audience puzzle game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children.
