Wordsmith is a free daily word-finding game. This page explains what we collect if you choose to sign in, and what happens if you don't.
Your progress and stats are kept only in your browser's local storage on your own device, and are lost if that browser's site data is cleared.
To know how many people play each day, the game tells our server when a device opens, starts or finishes that day's puzzle, at most once a day each, whether it was signed in, whether it was the installed app, whether it also opened the game the day before (the device only remembers the date it last opened it), and, if it arrived by a link we shared with a tag on the end (like ?from=reddit), which tag. All we keep is a running total for each day - no names, email addresses, device identifiers, IP addresses or cookies are stored with it, and it can't be linked back to you.
We store:
Solely so your stats and progress carry over across devices and browsers, and survive your local browser data being cleared. That's the entire purpose - we don't use it for anything else, and don't collect anything beyond what's needed for that.
We never sell your data, and never use it for marketing or advertising, ours or anyone else's.
We use these solely to confirm who you are. From Apple we only request your email address. From Google we request your email address and basic profile information, and never request or receive access to your Gmail, Google Drive, or any other Google service. If you sign in both ways with the same email address, both lead to the same account and history.
Apple's and Google's own handling of your sign-in is covered by their separate privacy policies.
Wordsmith runs on Cloudflare, Inc. - hosting, our database, and session storage all happen on their infrastructure. Your data may be processed or pass through Cloudflare's global network, including outside the UK and EU, under Cloudflare's standard contractual safeguards for international transfers.
You can sign out at any time from Settings. To request a copy of your data, or to have your account and all associated data permanently deleted, contact us at contact@wordsmithgame.app.
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
