Privacy Policy

Introduction

Wordwell ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data to our servers. Wordwell has no backend, no login system, and no data collection infrastructure.

All your data (favorites, custom words, settings) is stored locally on your device only. However, we use third-party services (Google AdMob for ads and RevenueCat for payment processing) that may collect certain information as described below.

This Privacy Policy explains what data is stored locally on your device and what information third-party services may collect.

Permissions We Request

How Data is Used

Wordwell does not use or access any of your data. Here's how data is handled:

• Local Data: Stored on your device only to provide app functionality (favorites, settings, etc.)
• RevenueCat: Processes in-app purchases and manages subscriptions
• Google AdMob: Displays advertisements in the free version
• Notifications: Scheduled locally on your device to send daily word reminders

We have no servers, no backend, and no ability to access any of your information.

Data Storage and Security

Your data never leaves your device. All personal data (favorites, custom words, settings) is stored locally on your device using secure device storage. This data remains on your device and is automatically deleted if you uninstall the app.

Since we have no servers or backend, we have no access to your data and cannot share, sell, or misuse it in any way. Third-party services (RevenueCat and Google AdMob) have their own security measures as outlined in their respective privacy policies.

Children's Privacy

Wordwell does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is designed for general audiences, stores all data locally on the device, and does not require users to provide any personal information.

Third-party services (Google AdMob and RevenueCat) may collect data as outlined in their privacy policies. Parents should review those policies if concerned about children's usage.

You have the following rights regarding your information:

• Access: All your local data can be viewed within the app

Third-Party Links and Services
