The short version
Your recipient name, puzzle title, note, clues, and answers stay in your browser while you build a puzzle. Clueful does not upload that puzzle content to its servers.
Information stored in your browser
Clueful uses browser storage to save one draft and, after a verified purchase, a signed receipt that keeps the PDF download available in the same browser. The Start over button removes the current draft. Clearing Clueful site data in your browser removes both the draft and any saved purchase receipt.
Payments
Payments are handled by Whop. Clueful sends you to Whop’s hosted checkout and does not receive or store your full card number. After checkout, the Clueful verification service receives a payment reference, checks the payment status and product details with Whop, and returns a signed receipt to your browser when the payment is valid. Whop’s own privacy terms apply to information you provide during checkout.
Hosting and security records
Clueful is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, request time, and security signals to deliver and protect the site. Clueful does not use those records to reconstruct your puzzle text.
Optional analytics
If Clueful offers an analytics consent choice, analytics loads only after you allow it. Analytics events are designed to measure actions such as starting the builder, generating a puzzle, opening checkout, and downloading a PDF. They must not include recipient names, clues, answers, notes, or other puzzle text.
Data retention
Browser-local drafts remain until you replace them, use Start over, or clear site data. Payment providers and hosting providers retain their own records under their policies and legal obligations.
Your choices
- Use Start over to remove the current browser draft.
- Clear site data to remove Clueful browser storage.
- Decline optional analytics when the choice is shown.
- Avoid entering sensitive information that is not needed for a clue.
