Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information GuessTheWord.io processes when you use the site and games.
Information we collect
If you create or use an account, we may process your name, email address, and authentication details handled through the configured auth provider.
If you play as a guest, we may generate and store a device identifier so guest sessions, progress, and game history can work across requests.
We also process gameplay data such as scores, guesses, session status, language preference, timestamps, and leaderboard-related statistics.
How we use the information
We use this information to run the games, keep sessions active, show progress and profile history, calculate leaderboards, prevent duplicate or broken session states, and improve reliability.
If reminder emails are enabled and you have consented to receive them, your email address may also be used to send gameplay reminders or account-related notices.
Cookies, local storage, and device identifiers
The app uses browser cookies and local storage for session handling, language selection, and game-related state. Guest play may also rely on a device identifier sent with requests.
These technologies help the app remember who you are, preserve your progress, and distinguish guest sessions from one another.
Sharing and processors
We may rely on third-party infrastructure providers for authentication, hosting, analytics, database storage, and email delivery. Those providers process data only as needed to supply their services.
We do not describe advertising, resale, or data-broker style sharing as part of the core gameplay service in this project.
Retention and your choices
We retain information for as long as needed to operate the service, maintain leaderboards and account history, comply with legal obligations, and resolve security or abuse issues.
You can request access, correction, or deletion of account-linked information by contacting the project through an account-associated email address.
