📋 Overview

The Daily Lexicon ("we", "our", or "the game") is a free vocabulary game available at thedailylexicon.com. We are committed to being transparent about how the site works and what data is involved.

The short version: we do not collect, store, or share any personal information about you on our servers. Your game progress never leaves your own device.

💾 Data We Store — On Your Device Only

Information stored locally includes:

Your current streak and total days played
Your accuracy percentage and best score
Which days you have completed a quiz
Your answers and results for the current session

      You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for thedailylexicon.com. On most browsers: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Cookies and site data.
