Privacy Policy
Effective date: 9 September 2026
This policy explains how The Word Games handles information when you use this website and its browser games.
Information Stored on Your Device
The games use browser localStorage to remember progress, settings, scores, streaks, archive status, and completed puzzles. This information stays in your browser unless your browser syncs it or you choose to share it. You can remove it by clearing site data in your browser.
Information We May Receive Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and security systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, timestamps, referral pages, and error logs. This helps operate, secure, and improve the site.
Analytics and Advertising
The site may use Google Analytics and Google advertising services. These services can use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits, understand usage, prevent abuse, and show or measure adverts. You can control cookies through your browser settings and Google privacy controls.
Sharing Features
If you use a share button, your browser or operating system may open a third-party sharing service. The shared text is only sent to the service you choose.
How We Use Information
- To provide and maintain the games.
- To save local game progress and preferences.
- To understand site performance and improve gameplay.
- To protect the site from misuse, spam, and technical problems.
- To display and measure advertising where ads are shown.
Children
The games are intended to be family friendly, but the site is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact the site operator so it can be removed where possible.
Data Retention
Local game data remains in your browser until you clear it. Server logs and analytics data are kept for as long as needed for security, operations, reporting, and legal compliance.
Your Choices
You can block or delete cookies, clear localStorage, use private browsing, or configure browser privacy settings. Some features, such as saved progress or advertising preferences, may not work as expected if storage is disabled.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
