The short version
The app itself does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on any server. There is no account, no sign-up, and no server to sign up to. Your game progress never leaves your device.
The one exception is advertising. The app shows ads supplied by Google AdMob, and the AdMob software collects information in order to do that. That is the only information about you that leaves your device, and the rest of this policy is mostly about it.
What stays on your device
The app saves the following locally, using your device’s own app storage, and never sends it anywhere:
- game progress, results, scores and statistics
- your win streak and day streak
- experience points and level
- achievements you have unlocked
- your weekly hint allowance
- settings: theme, difficulty, category, sound, haptics, movie language
- the word you type in pass-and-play mode
This data is readable only by the app. Uninstalling the app deletes all of it. The app provides no way to send it to us, because there is nowhere to send it.
The word list, the daily word, and every puzzle are bundled into the app and generated on your device. The app makes no network request in order to play.
What advertising collects
The app uses Google AdMob to show banner, interstitial and rewarded ads. AdMob is provided by Google and operates under Google’s own privacy policy:
To select and measure ads, the AdMob software may collect and transmit to Google information such as:
- your device’s advertising identifier
- device information: model, operating system version, language, and the general region derived from your IP address
- your interactions with ads, such as whether an ad was shown, viewed or tapped
- diagnostic information about ad delivery
The app does not give Google your name, your email address, or any of the game data listed in the previous section. We have no access to your advertising identifier, and we receive only aggregate, non-identifying reporting about how many ads were shown.
The app requests ads with a maximum content rating of PG, and does not declare its traffic as directed to children.
Your choices about advertising
European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland
The app shows Google’s consent form before any ad is requested and before the advertising software is started. You choose there whether to allow personalised ads. You can reopen that form from the app’s settings and change your answer at any time.
On iOS
The app asks for App Tracking Transparency permission before requesting ads. If you decline, the app requests non-personalised ads only. You can change this later in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
On Android
You can reset or delete your advertising identifier, and opt out of ad personalisation, in Settings › Google › Ads.
Declining any of these does not restrict the game. You will still see ads; they will simply be less relevant.
Analytics
The app contains no third-party analytics service. Gameplay events are written to the local development console only, and are not transmitted anywhere.
If you connect Firebase Analytics or any other provider, rewrite this section before that build ships.
Purchases
The app contains no in-app purchases. The premium screen describes a feature that is not yet available and cannot be bought.
Update this section, and your Play Data Safety declaration, when in-app purchases are enabled.
Permissions
The app’s Android package declares the permissions below. Most are technical, and none of them give the app access to your personal content.
| Permission | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Internet | Required to fetch ads. The game itself makes no network request. |
| Advertising ID | Used by Google AdMob to select and measure ads. |
| Vibrate | Haptic feedback when you tap a key. |
| Modify audio settings | Sets the audio mode for sound effects. |
| Foreground service | Keeps sound effects playing correctly. |
| Read and write storage | Legacy entries that Android applies only to version 12L and older. The app does not read or write your files. |
The app does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, call logs, messages, health data, or precise location, and it cannot read any file you have not given it.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us at the address below.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, or to object to it. Since we do not collect or hold any personal information, those requests are best directed to Google, who operate the advertising described above. You may also contact us and we will help where we can.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address and the effective date at the top updated. Significant changes affecting how information is handled will be noted in the app’s release notes.
