Privacy

Hidden Trail is run by Idistic, the product studio of TWINDLE NEDERLAND B.V. (the Netherlands). We collect as little as possible, and nothing that identifies you.

Your progress

Saved pairs, streaks, your calendar and settings are stored in your browser’s local storage, on your device, under keys starting with ht1:. They are never sent to us. Clearing this site’s data in your browser, or “Clear my progress” on My trail, removes them. If your browser blocks storage you can still play, but progress is forgotten when you leave.

Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that we host ourselves at stats.idistic.com. It sets no cookies and builds no profile of you. It counts page views and a few game events (for example “a pair was finished, with one hint”) so we can see what people enjoy. It never receives where you tapped or the answers. No data is shared with third parties.

Offline play

To load quickly and work offline, your browser keeps a copy of the pages, scripts and pictures you open. That copy stays on your device.

“Share result” only shares the date, that you found all five and whether you used hints, never the answers. It uses your device’s share sheet or clipboard; nothing is sent to us.

Hosting

The site is hosted on a server in Germany (Hetzner). Like every web server, it briefly processes your IP address to deliver the pages.
