Privacy

AirportDoku has no accounts and asks for no personal information. You do not sign in to play, there is no newsletter or advertising, and we do not sell or share data for marketing.

Your game data stays on your device. Puzzle progress, flight time, guess counts, completions, streaks and your selected cabin are held in your browser's local storage, separately for each cabin and puzzle. That data is never uploaded.

Privacy-minimised product analytics. We record a small number of first-party events so we can see which cabins are played and where the game is confusing: page views, puzzle loaded, cabin selected, first guess, completion, give up, share, Golden Airport found, clue help opened and feedback opened. Each event carries only the event name, the public puzzle identifier, the cabin, and a short structural context such as a route path.

To count returning players without identifying anyone, your browser generates one random identifier the first time you play and stores it locally. It is not derived from you or your device, and the server stores only a SHA-256 hash of it. Clearing site data discards it and a new random value is generated.

Analytics never receive the airports you search for or select, your search text, free-form answers, clue text, or any contact details. Analytics requests are fire-and-forget: if they fail, the game carries on unaffected.

Issue reports. “Report an issue” opens an email to feedback@airportdoku.com in your own email app, pre-filled with a short prompt and, where known, the puzzle, cabin and square. Nothing is sent to us or stored by the site unless you choose to send that email. If you do, your email provider and ours process the sender address, the message and standard email metadata in order to deliver it. Please do not include sensitive information you do not need to share. The anonymous identifier described above is used for analytics only and is never attached to an email.

Loading a puzzle, searching the directory and checking an answer send only the puzzle, square, search text or chosen airport to our hosted database service, which answers a small set of read-only requests. As with any website, that service and the hosting platform necessarily receive technical request metadata such as IP address and user-agent in order to deliver a response and keep the service secure. Our app code does not collect or store that metadata itself.

You can remove everything stored locally at any time by clearing site data for AirportDoku in your browser settings, or by using a private browsing window. Doing so resets your progress, streaks and the anonymous identifier.
