This policy applies to freecell.plyyard.com, operated by Ply Yard. Opening the table does not require an account, real name, email address, phone number, or payment information. No sign-up does not mean no data processing.

Unfinished deals on the main table and Daily Deal, plus scores and the sound switch.
On-device solving
Hints are calculated on this device. Layouts are not uploaded to Ply Yard to solve.

Analytics, hosting requests, and email you choose to send.
Browser Storage and App Caches
The main table stores an unfinished position, move count, timer, and undo history in the current browser. The Daily Deal uses a separate record, so the two games do not share in-progress state. Wins, best time, fewest moves, and cleared deal numbers share one local list. The sound switch also stays in this browser and defaults to off. None of this is a Ply Yard account, and it does not sync across devices.
Clear local record on the table wipes scores only. It does not redeal the current game or erase an unfinished position. Dealing a new number overwrites the main-table save. On the Daily Deal, an unfinished hand continues on the same UTC day; a new UTC day maps to a new number.
Hint loads Freecell Solver in the browser, then a local heuristic if needed. Solving stays on the device; the layout need not be sent to a cloud engine. The page can still make network requests for scripts, styles, card images, and analytics.
Adding the site to a home screen or Dock may retain icons, app information, and static caches. Caches reduce repeated loading. They are not permanent saves and do not guarantee every page works offline. Whether uninstalling clears site data depends on the browser and system.
Page Requests and On-Device Solving
This is a single-player browser table. There are no live rooms, seat credentials, or a public lobby. The browser does not open a WebSocket room to sync a deal.
Hints and shortest-move reference data are calculated on this device. Layouts are not uploaded to Ply Yard to compute a hint or a shortest line. Solver scripts and WebAssembly still load from this site as page assets; that is not an upload of your deal to a solving server.
Opening a page still requests HTML, CSS, scripts, card images, and, if installed, files cached by the service worker. Those requests pass through hosting to deliver the page. They are not a player profile.
A deal number can be copied so someone else opens the same deal in their own browser. The number is not a login token and does not carry your local progress. They see the same opening, not your move count or scores.
Analytics, Hosting, and Advertising
The production site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID: G-YDVV03XSLL) to understand page visits and usage. Data may include page URLs, referrals, device and browser details, approximate region, and analytics identifiers, and may use analytics cookies. Local preview addresses do not load this analytics setup.
The same measurement ID is used on plyyard.com. Visits from the same browser across those hostnames may be associated. Analytics storage is enabled by default; ad storage, ad user data, and ad personalization are set to denied. Denying advertising does not also disable analytics cookies. Analytics is not used to replay deals and is not tied to a player account.
Clearing local progress or scores does not withdraw analytics already sent. Page URLs may be processed by automatic page analytics. Playable pages here do not carry room or seat parameters.
Cloudflare provides hosting and security. It may process IP addresses, request times, page URLs, browser headers, and operational logs to deliver content, prevent abuse, and investigate faults. Providers' processing and retention also depend on their configurations and privacy policies.
Ad scripts are currently disabled and the site has no in-page analytics switch. Browser privacy settings or content blockers can limit analytics requests. Blocking only analytics does not stop play; disabling site storage or all scripts can affect saves, hints, or return visits after install.
Support Email and Children
If you email contact@plyyard.com , we receive your sender address, email headers, text, screenshots, attachments, and device details you include. We use them to check reports, reproduce issues, reply, and handle privacy requests, not to build a marketing list.
Send only relevant information and redact private details in screenshots. Do not send passwords, payment details, identity documents, home addresses, or someone else's sensitive information. There is no player account, so there is no account recovery.
The site does not request ages or provide age verification. Guardians should help children avoid including names, schools, contact details, or other identifying information in reports and screenshots.
Retention and Clearing Data
Browser settings, storage, and the relevant scripts determine how long local progress, scores, the sound switch, and analytics cookies remain. Dealing a new game overwrites that unfinished save; it does not wipe all scores or analytics data.
The table below is the default fate of a few local records, not a server-wide deletion deadline. Private browsing, browser cleanup, or a full storage quota can remove them earlier.
| Local data | Default when it goes |
|---|---|
| Main-table in-progress deal | Overwritten by a new deal, or removed if you clear site data, switch browsers, or switch devices |
| Daily Deal in-progress deal | Stored separately from the main table; removed if you clear site data, switch browsers, or switch devices |
| Scores | Cleared with site data, or by Clear local record on the table |
| Sound switch | Cleared with site data, or when you change the switch on the table |
Clear local record wipes scores only. It does not redeal or delete an unfinished position. To remove progress, scores, sound, and caches together, find this site's domain in your browser's site-data or storage settings and clear the relevant storage, cookies, and caches.
Options vary by browser. Deleting browsing history or uninstalling the app may not remove saves. Whether uninstalling also clears site data depends on the browser and system.
Technical logs, analytics, and email do not follow the table above. There is no single promised automatic-deletion period for them. Contact us about retention or to request access, correction, or deletion.
Clearing site data does not delete hosting logs, analytics already sent, email, browsing history, bookmarks, or deal numbers you have already shared. This site has no server-side deal archive to restore.
Policy Updates and Privacy Contact
Material changes to storage, analytics, or advertising will be reflected here with an updated date. This policy covers this site only; check the policies of external sites you visit.
For a privacy question or data request, include the domain, data category, relevant time range, and action requested. We assess requests against identifiable records and applicable requirements; we cannot guarantee matching every third-party analytics record to you.
Privacy contact: contact@plyyard.com
Before You Clear Local Data
- Decide whether you still need the current progress and scores.
- Close this site's tabs, then clear site data.
- Reopen a normal address. Deleted local records will not come back on their own.
Clearing records in this browser does not automatically delete analytics, hosting logs, or email already sent.
