Introduction
Wordocious ("we," "our," or "us") is a word puzzle game. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
Information We Collect
When you create an account or use Wordocious, we may collect the following information:
- • Email address — provided during sign-up or via Google OAuth
- • Username / display name — chosen by you when creating your profile
- • Game statistics — scores, win/loss records, completion times, and performance data across all game modes
- • Streak data — daily streak counts and history
- • Device and usage information — browser or device type, operating system and app version, general usage patterns, and anonymous analytics to help us improve the app
- • Advertising identifier (mobile apps, free tier only) — the Google Advertising ID on Android and the Apple Identifier for Advertisers on iOS, used by our ad provider to serve and measure ads. Pro subscribers see no ads.
- • Crash and diagnostic data — when the app crashes or hits an error we record the fault, device model, OS version and app version so we can fix it.
- • Push notification token (mobile apps) — a device token, stored only if you enable notifications, so we can send you daily-puzzle and match reminders.
How We Use Your Information
- • To create and manage your Wordocious account
- • To track your game progress, streaks, and statistics
- • To display leaderboards and records
- • To improve and maintain the app experience
- • To communicate important updates about the service
Third-Party Services
Wordocious relies on the following trusted third-party services to operate:
- • Supabase — used for user authentication and secure data storage. Your account data and game statistics are stored in Supabase's infrastructure.
- • Vercel — used for web hosting and serving the Wordocious application.
- • Google OAuth — available as a sign-in option. When you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and display name from Google. We do not access any other Google account data.
- • Google AdSense (website) and Google AdMob (iOS and Android apps) — used to display advertisements to free-tier users. AdMob receives your device's advertising identifier. Ad-related data collection is governed by Google's privacy policies. Pro subscribers are not shown ads.
- • Sentry — crash and error reporting. Receives diagnostic data about faults, including your account identifier, so we can trace and fix them.
- • Firebase Cloud Messaging (Android) and Apple Push Notification service (iOS) — deliver push notifications if you enable them.
- • Stripe — processes Pro subscription payments made on the website. Card details go directly to Stripe; we never see or store them.
- • Apple App Store and Google Play — process Pro purchases made inside the mobile apps, and tell our servers when a subscription starts, renews or ends.
Advertising & Data Sharing
Wordocious displays interstitial advertisements to free-tier users before game sessions. These ads are served by Google AdSense on the website and Google AdMob in the mobile apps, and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy. Pro subscribers enjoy a completely ad-free experience. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes beyond what is necessary for ad delivery.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information. Authentication is handled securely through Supabase, and all data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time. You can delete your account through your profile settings or by contacting us directly. Upon account deletion, your personal data will be removed from our systems.
Children's Privacy
Wordocious is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of Wordocious after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
