This Privacy Policy explains how Wording Bee (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located in Brooklyn, New York, collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you visit Wording Bee (the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

• Session Cookies & Local Storage. We store a temporary session cookie or local-storage key to keep track of the puzzle you are playing and the words you have found. No personal data (such as name, email, or IP address) is stored in this cookie.
• Automatically Collected Data. Our hosting provider may log standard technical information (e.g., IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, and timestamp) for security and diagnostics.
• Voluntarily Provided Information. If you contact us directly (e.g., by email) we will receive whatever information you provide in that message.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate and maintain the Service.
• To improve gameplay, performance, and user experience.
• To monitor and prevent security issues or misuse.
• To respond to support requests or inquiries.
• To compile anonymous, aggregated statistics about puzzle usage.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share information:

• With service providers who assist us in operating the Service, subject to confidentiality agreements.
• When required by law or to respond to legal process.
• To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
• With your consent or at your direction.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use a single, first-party session cookie or local-storage item purely for game functionality. You can disable cookies in your browser; however, doing so will reset your progress in the puzzle and may prevent the Service from working properly.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
