Privacy Policy
PlaySnake.co is designed to be playable without an account, without a download, and with as little personal information as practical.
Effective date: June 7, 2026. Last updated: June 28, 2026.
Short version
You can play the Google Snake Game-inspired experience on PlaySnake.co without creating an account. Your best score, selected speed, and sound preference are stored in your own browser so the game can remember them locally. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site traffic and improve the site, but we do not run advertising cookies, user accounts, payment features, public profiles, or a public leaderboard.
Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how PlaySnake.co handles information when you visit the site, play the browser Snake game, read our Google Snake Game guides, use localized landing pages, or contact us for support. It applies only to PlaySnake.co pages and files served from the playsnake.co domain.
This policy does not cover websites we link to, browser extensions you may use, your internet provider, your device manufacturer, or third-party services that are outside our control. If you leave PlaySnake.co through a link, the other site is responsible for its own privacy practices.
Information We Collect
PlaySnake.co is intentionally simple. We do not ask you to register, sign in, create a profile, upload personal content, or provide payment information. The site may handle a small number of information types depending on how you use it:
| Information type | Where it comes from | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Game preferences | Your browser saves your selected speed and sound preference. | Used to make the next play session feel familiar. |
| Best score | Your browser saves your local best score. | Used to show your personal progress without creating an account. |
| Support email | You choose to email us. | Used to respond to questions, bug reports, corrections, or feedback. |
| Basic hosting logs | Generated by the hosting provider when pages and assets are requested. | Used for security, reliability, abuse prevention, and aggregate troubleshooting. |
| Analytics data | Google Analytics may receive page-view, device, browser, approximate location, referrer, and interaction information. | Used in aggregate to understand traffic, popular pages, technical issues, and content performance. |
| Voluntary feedback | You choose to include it in an email or support note. | Used to understand issues, improve content, and prioritize site fixes. |
Game Data and Local Storage
The game uses browser local storage for a small set of preferences. This may include your selected game speed, sound setting, and best score. Local storage is a browser feature that lets a website remember simple values on your device. These values are not a public leaderboard, are not tied to an account, and are not uploaded to PlaySnake.co by the game.
Because this information stays in your browser, it can be different across devices, browsers, or profiles. For example, your best score in Safari may not match your best score in Chrome, and your phone may have a different saved score than your laptop. If you clear site data, use private browsing, reset your browser, or change devices, your locally saved score and preferences may disappear.
Best score
Your best score is kept in your browser so you can track progress without an account.
Speed setting
Your preferred slow, normal, or fast speed can be remembered for smoother repeat play.
Sound setting
Your sound preference can be saved so you do not need to reset it every time.
Email, Support, and Feedback
If you contact us at playsnake.co@gmail.com, we receive the email address you use, the message you send, and any details you choose to include. We use that information to respond, investigate a bug, review a correction, consider a feature idea, or improve the site.
Please avoid sending sensitive information that is not needed for support. Do not send passwords, payment data, identity documents, private account credentials, health information, or other confidential material. If you report a gameplay issue, useful details usually include your browser, device type, the page URL, what you expected, and what happened instead.
Hosting, Security, and Server Logs
Like most websites, PlaySnake.co may be delivered through a hosting provider or content delivery infrastructure. Those systems may process limited technical logs when your browser requests a page, font, image, script, stylesheet, sitemap, robots file, or other asset. Logs may include technical information such as IP address, requested URL, user-agent string, referring page, time of request, response status, and similar diagnostic details.
These logs are used for practical site operations: keeping the site reachable, diagnosing downtime, blocking abuse, measuring aggregate traffic health, and protecting the game and pages from misuse. We do not use hosting logs to create user profiles inside PlaySnake.co, and the current site does not offer account-based personalization.
Cookies, Advertising, and Analytics
PlaySnake.co uses Google Analytics through the Google tag to understand aggregate traffic, page usage, device and browser patterns, referral sources, and site performance. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits and interactions. We use this information to improve pages, diagnose issues, and understand which guides are useful.
PlaySnake.co does not currently run behavioral advertising, user accounts, payment features, public profiles, comments, or a public leaderboard. The game itself can run with standard HTML, CSS, canvas, and JavaScript; your best score, speed, and sound preferences are still stored locally in your browser. If we later add advertising, embedded media, accounts, comments, leaderboards, or other services that change how data is handled, this policy should be updated before or when those features are enabled.
How We Use Information
Information handled by PlaySnake.co is used for limited, practical purposes. We use local browser data to make the game work better for repeat play. We use support messages to reply and fix issues. We use technical logs to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the site. We use voluntary feedback to improve guides, page clarity, game behavior, accessibility, and international pages.
- Keep the game playable without an account.
- Remember local game preferences in your own browser.
- Respond to support messages and corrections.
- Investigate bugs, broken links, and browser issues.
- Protect the site from abuse or technical failures.
- Improve content quality, accessibility, and usability.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. We do not run a marketplace for user data. Limited information may be processed by service providers that help operate the site, such as hosting, email, domain, security, or infrastructure providers. Those providers process information according to their own systems and agreements.
We may also disclose information if required to comply with law, protect the site, respond to abuse, investigate security issues, or defend legal rights. Because PlaySnake.co does not currently operate accounts, payments, comments, or user profiles, the amount of personal information available through the site itself is intentionally limited.
Your Choices and Controls
You have several practical controls. You can play without emailing us. You can clear local storage or site data in your browser if you want to remove saved score and preference data. You can use private browsing, although private sessions may not preserve your best score. You can choose not to include personal details when sending a support note.
If you previously emailed us and want to request deletion of that email conversation from our support mailbox, contact playsnake.co@gmail.com from the same email address where possible and describe the request. We may need to keep limited records where required for security, abuse prevention, dispute handling, or legal reasons.
How to reset local game data
Use your browser's site data settings for PlaySnake.co to clear local storage. This can remove saved best score, speed, and sound preference for that browser. The exact steps vary by browser, but they are usually under privacy, site settings, cookies, or browsing data.
Children and General Audience Use
PlaySnake.co is a general-audience browser game and guide site. It does not knowingly request personal information from children, does not ask children to create accounts, and does not require personal details to play. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent personal information by email, they can contact us so we can review and respond appropriately.
Parents, guardians, and educators may want to supervise browser use, especially when children use email or browse beyond PlaySnake.co through external links. The game itself is designed to work without collecting a child's name, profile, school, payment details, or location.
International Visitors
PlaySnake.co can be visited from different countries and includes localized pages for several languages. If you access the site from outside the place where our hosting, email, or infrastructure providers operate, technical information may be processed in another country. By using the site, you understand that normal web delivery can involve cross-border infrastructure.
We try to keep the data footprint small so international use remains straightforward: no account database, no required profile, no payment form, and no required user submission to play.
Security and Data Retention
No website can promise perfect security, but PlaySnake.co is built to reduce privacy risk by limiting what the site asks from you. Local game data remains in your browser unless you clear it. Support emails may be retained for a reasonable period so we can respond, track recurring issues, prevent abuse, or maintain context for corrections and bug reports.
Technical logs are generally retained according to hosting provider settings and operational needs. Retention periods can vary depending on security, reliability, abuse prevention, and infrastructure requirements.
External Links and Independent Status
PlaySnake.co may link to other websites, references, search engines, browsers, or tools. External sites have their own privacy policies and terms. We are not responsible for how those sites collect or use information after you leave PlaySnake.co.
PlaySnake.co is independent and is not affiliated with Google. References to Google Snake Game are used to describe the familiar style of Snake gameplay that many players search for. They do not mean that PlaySnake.co is operated, endorsed, or controlled by Google.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the site changes, when new features are added, when privacy practices change, or when clearer explanations are needed. The effective date and last updated date near the top of this page show when the policy was most recently revised.
If a future change materially affects how personal information is handled, the policy should be updated in a way that makes the new practice understandable. For example, adding accounts, analytics, ads, a leaderboard, comments, or embedded third-party services would require a clearer explanation than a minor wording edit.
Contact
Questions, privacy requests, corrections, and support notes can be sent to playsnake.co@gmail.com. To help us respond, include the relevant page URL and a clear description of the request. Please do not include sensitive personal information unless it is truly necessary.
Does PlaySnake.co upload my best score?
No, the current game stores your best score locally in your browser rather than uploading it to PlaySnake.co. There is no public leaderboard, account profile, or server-side score history in this version.
Does PlaySnake.co require cookies to play?
The game does not require account, login, or advertising cookies to play. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies for aggregate site measurement, and browser local storage may remember your best score, sound preference, and speed setting on that device.
Can I play without giving personal information?
Yes, you can play directly in the browser without registering, logging in, sending your name, or emailing us. Personal information is only involved if you choose to contact PlaySnake.co for support.
What happens if I clear site data?
Clearing site data can remove your locally saved best score, sound preference, and speed setting for that browser. The game will still work, but it may behave like a fresh first visit.
