The plain-English version of what Find Four knows about you. Last updated 1 September 2026.

The short version

  • Our own cookie only remembers which player you are.
  • No ads and no selling data, ever. We count visits with Oculis Analytics.
  • We only ever hold your email if you choose to sign in with it.
  • Ask and we delete everything. hello@findfour.io.

What we store

When you first visit, we create a guest player for you: a random ID and a generated name like "Player ABCD". That player record holds your game results, rating, achievements, puzzle solves and play counters — the things that make your profile work.

If you later sign in (with an email link or Google), we also store the email address and chosen username you give us, so your record survives a change of device or cleared cookies. That is the complete list — we never ask for anything else, and we never buy or sell data about you.

Cookies and analytics

Find Four sets one cookie of its own: a session token that tells us which player you are, so your games and stats stay yours. It lasts a year and is strictly necessary for the site to work.

We also use Oculis Analytics to understand our traffic — how many people visit, which pages they view, and roughly where visitors come from (referrer, country, browser). Its script stores identifiers in your browser so it can tell returning visitors apart. We use these numbers only to make the game better, and we never see or sell anything that identifies you personally.

There are no advertising cookies and no ad networks here, and there never will be.

What other players can see

Your display name, rating and win/loss record are visible to opponents you play and, if you rank, on the leaderboard. In a game, opponents also see your moves and any emoji reactions you send — reactions come from a fixed set, so there is no way to send personal information through them.

Your email address is never shown to anyone.

Where your data lives

Your game data is stored on our own server, hosted with OVH in Europe. The only services we share anything with are the one that delivers our sign-in emails (it sees your email address when we send you one) and Oculis Analytics (it receives visit data as described above).

Your choices

You can play forever as a guest without telling us anything about yourself.

If you want your account and its history deleted, or a copy of what we hold about you, email us at hello@findfour.io and we will sort it out. Deleting your account removes your profile, stats and achievements permanently.

Children

Find Four is made to be safe for everyone. Guests are never asked for personal information, there is no free-text chat between players, and display names are checked against a blocklist. If you are under 13, please ask a parent or guardian before creating an account with an email address.

If we ever change how any of this works, we'll update this page and the date at the top before we do it. Questions? Email hello@findfour.io.
