When you use the Nerdle solver, the equations and tile feedback you enter are sent to the same NerdleBuddy application so it can validate the rows and rank suggestions. When you play a practice puzzle, guesses are sent to the application for scoring and hints.

NerdleBuddy does not deliberately add those equations, answers, feedback patterns, or encoded challenge values to analytics events. They may still pass through ordinary application infrastructure needed to answer the request, including transient network processing and operational logs.

This deployment is configured for Google Tag Manager, which loads after the site becomes interactive. Depending on the published container, it can count solver starts, suggestions, practice games, hints, answer reveals, filters, shares, and guide-to-solver visits.

Page measurement uses normalized URL shapes. For example, an encoded challenge becomes /play-with-nerdlebuddy/:token and a dated archive game becomes /play-with-nerdlebuddy/date/:date. Query strings and the original values are not sent in the custom analytics payload.

Vercel Speed Insights measures loading and interaction performance. Before a measurement is sent, NerdleBuddy applies the same route normalization and removes query strings and identifiers. This helps find slow routes without creating a record for each puzzle URL.

NerdleBuddy does not currently provide an in-app analytics consent prompt or consent management platform. Analytics and consent obligations vary by location. The Tag Manager container ID should remain unset wherever prior consent is required until an appropriate consent solution, vendor disclosures, and retention settings are in place.

The site uses local browser storage for the on-screen keyboard preference, commutative-answer grouping, probe suggestions, and optional feedback prefill. These values describe settings, not your identity. Hint visibility is kept only in page memory and resets on a fresh load.

Clearing site data in your browser resets those preferences. If optional Google measurement is configured, Google may use additional cookies or browser identifiers according to the published Tag Manager container. NerdleBuddy does not currently offer an in-app control for those tags.

NerdleBuddy is hosted on Vercel. Like most hosting providers, Vercel can process request information such as IP address, user agent, route, timestamps, and error details for delivery, security, and operational logging.

Optional Google measurement is provided through Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. The official-answer page makes a cached server-side request to Nerdle's public dated answer page; it does not cause each visitor's browser to request that source.

You can clear nerdlebuddy.com site data in your browser, block cookies or scripts, use browser tracking protection, and leave optional fields unused. Blocking measurement does not prevent the core solver, guides, or practice games from working, although strict script blocking can affect interactive features.

For a non-personal correction, you can open an issue in the NerdleBuddy project repository. Do not post personal or confidential information in a public issue. A private contact method must be published before optional Google measurement is enabled. The About page explains who maintains the site.
