Privacy at Konsa.
Konsa is a word game you can play as a guest or with an account, in a browser or in the app. This page says what the game keeps about you, why, who handles it on our behalf, and how to have it removed. Last updated 28 September 2026.
Playing as a guest
You need no account to play. A random player ID, kept in a cookie in the browser or in the app’s storage on your device, lets a table and the Daily Duel recognise you between rounds. With it we keep the name you type at a table, the words you play and their scores, the tables you sat at and your Daily Duel attempts. We ask for nothing else: no email, no name beyond the one you choose to show.
Signing in
Sign-in is by a code sent to your email address, through Clerk, which keeps your email address and your sessions on our behalf. There is no password to keep. With an account we store your Daily Duel history, personal bests and streaks, your friends, and the name your friends see, tied to your account so they follow you between the web and the app. The Daily Duels you played as a guest on a device are folded into your account the first time you sign in there.
What other players see
- At a table: the name you chose, and your words and scores as each round resolves. Anyone with the table’s code can take a seat.
- Friends, meaning people who opened your friend link or whose link you opened: your name, your Daily Duel totals and streak, and the table invites you send. Your words stay hidden until you have both finished a day.
- A Daily Duel share link shows your score and your scoring grid to whoever has it; your words stay hidden until they have played the same boards.
Analytics and diagnostics
We use PostHog to see how the game is used and where it breaks, reached through our own address (g.playwordsy.com). On the web this records the pages you view, what you click, errors, performance timings and session recordings in which text is masked and your words, names and avatars are hidden; what you type into the game’s fields, other than passwords, can appear in a recording. In the app it records the screens you open, the actions you take and errors. Your approximate location is derived from your IP address. After you sign in, your account ID and email address are attached, so that a support conversation can find what went wrong for you. Our server’s request logs, which include IP addresses, go to PostHog as well, trimmed to what diagnosing a problem needs.
You can turn it off. In a browser, use the button below; the choice is kept in a cookie for this browser, and our server honours it too. In the app, switch off Share analytics under You › Preferences. Blocking g.playwordsy.com also stops it.
Support
Contact support, at the foot of every page, sends your message and, if you are signed in, your email address to PostHog’s support tools so that we can answer you.
Cookies and storage
- wordsy_session, wordsy_daily_session: Your guest identity for tables and the Daily Duel, set by playwordsy.com only.
- __session, __client_uat: Clerk’s sign-in session, present once you have signed in.
- ph_… cookies: PostHog’s analytics identity, and your choice if you turned analytics off.
- konsa.… in browser storage: The name you play under, the table you are at and your preferences, on this device.
The app keeps your sign-in session in your device’s secure storage and your preferences (sounds, haptics, appearance) on the device.
Who handles your data
Three companies process data for us, on our instructions: Cloudflare hosts the game and holds every table, duel and account record; Clerk runs sign-in and holds email addresses and sessions; PostHog holds the analytics, recordings, logs and support conversations above. We do not sell your data and we show no advertising.
Keeping and deleting
Game records stay for as long as the game runs; a guest’s records are reachable only through the cookie or device that made them. You can delete your account yourself: Delete account at the foot of your history page on the web, or under You in the app. That removes your saved duels (including the guest days you brought into the account), your friends and friend link, and your sign-in with Clerk, and your share links stop working. Analytics already recorded stays with PostHog for its retention period; to have it deleted too, ask through Contact support.
Children
Konsa is not directed at children under 13, and it asks students for no account: a teacher’s table needs nothing from a student beyond the name they choose to play under.
Changes and contact
When this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. Questions go through Contact support, at the foot of every page. Konsa is made by Matthew Brandman.
