Privacy Policy

At WordHunt, we care about your privacy. This policy outlines how we use technology to deliver our game and how we handle your data.

Proudly based in Waterloo, Canada

1. What We Collect

WordHunt does not collect or store any personal user data. You can play the game completely anonymously.

2. Firebase Usage

We use Firebase to host and manage game data. Firebase helps us:

• Store daily puzzle boards
• Retrieve previously played games
• Save anonymous game progress (locally, on your device)

We do not use Firebase to collect personal information. We do not use Firebase Authentication or store user profiles.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

We use local storage on your device to:

• Remember which words you've found
• Track your score for saved games
• Store your timer preferences

This data is stored only in your browser and is never shared or transmitted to our servers.

4. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how players use WordHunt. This helps us improve gameplay and site performance.

GA4 collects anonymous usage data, such as:

• Pages visited
• Session duration
• Clicks and interactions
• Device/browser type and country-level location

This data is aggregated and does not include personal identifiers like name, email, or IP address (IP is anonymized by Google).

5. Your Rights

Since we do not store any personal data, there is no account or profile information to manage or delete. You may disable cookies or use an ad/tracking blocker to prevent analytics collection if desired.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
