Privacy policy

This policy explains what information Wow Geography (wowgeography.com) collects, how it is used and the choices you have. In short: you can play every game without an account, and we do not ask for your name, email or any other personal details to play.

Information stored on your device

To remember your progress, the site saves a small amount of information in your own browser using a feature called local storage. This includes your best scores, the levels you have unlocked in GeoQuest and GeoGuess, and your Daily Challenge results. If you fill in the explorer passport in GeoQuest, the name, home country and other details you type are also stored only in your browser.

This information is not sent to us and never leaves your device. You can delete it at any time by clearing your browser’s site data for wowgeography.com.

Your location (optional)

Near the end of the homepage's scroll tour, your browser may ask whether the site can use your location, so the plane can land where you are. This is optional. If you allow it, your position is used once, inside your browser, to work out which country you are in; it is not stored and never sent to us. If you say no, the plane simply lands in India.

Cookies and advertising
