PRIVACY POLICY*

What we collect

ALLEGEDLY* has no accounts and no sign-up. Your streak, stats, and daily progress are stored only in your browser's local storage — they never leave your device. When you finish a daily puzzle, we record a single anonymous result (puzzle number, solved or not, number of guesses) so we can show community stats like "34% solved today's case." This contains no identifying information of any kind.

The Tipline

If you subscribe to The Tipline, we store your email address so we can send you our daily dispatch and occasional updates, sent via our email provider (Resend). Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately. We never sell or share your email address with anyone. ALLEGEDLY* is published by Smart Chain LLC, 1180 N Town Center Dr, Suite 100, Las Vegas, NV 89144.

Third-party cookies

A third-party advertising provider runs on the site and may use cookies to serve or measure ads. Our cookie policy lists every way to switch that off. Nothing here is needed to play.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand how many people play. We do not build profiles of individual visitors.

To work out whether people come back, your browser keeps its own count of how many separate days you have opened the site and how long ago your first visit was. Those two numbers are sent with each event. No identifier is attached to them, nothing is stored that could link one of your visits to another, and clearing your browser storage resets the count. We can see that some readers returned; we cannot see that you did.

About the puzzles

Every puzzle is drawn from widely reported, public-record events — court records, official rulings, and events that unfolded on live television. Nothing here is a new allegation; it's a trivia game about stories the whole world already covered. Allegedly.
