Privacy policy

Last updated 16 October 2026

Paperclip is built to collect as little as possible. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.

What stays on your device

Your progress (prizes, stars, streaks and badges), whether you’ve seen the intro, your sound setting, and, if you bought the unlock, a signed unlock pass are saved in your web browser’s local storage. They never leave your device unless you send them to us. Clearing your browser data deletes them.

What our server sees

Paperclip runs on Cloudflare. When you load the game or a puzzle, Cloudflare processes standard request information such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the page and protect it from abuse. We don’t store this or link it to you. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

The game’s fonts load from Google Fonts, which means Google receives your IP address when the page loads. See Google’s privacy policy.

When you buy the unlock

Payments are handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. Paddle collects the details needed to take payment, such as your email address, country and payment method, under Paddle’s privacy policy. We never see your card details. Our server receives only the Paddle transaction ID, which it checks with Paddle to confirm the purchase before unlocking. We may see your email address and country in Paddle’s records in order to answer support requests.

Your choices

You can clear Paperclip’s saved data at any time through your browser settings. To ask what we hold about you, or to have it deleted, email us.
