Effective Date: September 1, 2026
Thank you for playing Crossword! This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and protected when you play our mobile game (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how data is handled.
By downloading and playing the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy.
We do not collect, store, or require any direct personal information from you (such as your real name, email address, phone number, or physical address) to play the game. You do not need to create a traditional account to use the App.
The App saves your game progress, settings (like sound preferences), and in-game currency (coins) locally on your device's internal storage. If you delete the App, this local data will be permanently erased.
To participate in the Global Leaderboard, the App automatically generates an anonymous, random username and a unique device identifier. When you view the leaderboard, your current game score and anonymous username are securely transmitted to our cloud database (hosted by Google Firebase). We do not link this generated ID to any real-world identity.
The App may offer in-game currency (coins) for purchase using real money. All payments and transactions are processed securely by the respective app stores (Google Play Store or Apple App Store). We do not collect, process, store, or have access to your financial information, credit card details, or billing address.
The App integrates third-party services that may collect information automatically. Specifically, we use third-party advertising services, including Unity Ads provided by Unity Technologies, to provide in-game advertisements and Google Firebase for our leaderboard database.
These third-party services may automatically collect information such as:
The data collected by third-party services is used for the following purposes:
We use third-party advertising services, including Unity Ads provided by Unity Technologies, to display ads. These advertising services may use cookies and/or device identifiers to serve, measure, and personalize ads based on your use of this App and other apps or websites.
For more detailed information on how advertising services collect and use data, please review the applicable provider policy:
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time through your device settings:
Our App is designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions like the EU).
If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided personal information to any third-party service accessed through our App, please contact the respective third-party provider (such as Google). If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will delete it immediately.
We value your trust in playing our game. Your leaderboard scores are transmitted securely to Google Firebase using industry-standard encryption. While we strive to protect your anonymous data, please be aware that no method of electronic transmission over the internet or method of mobile storage is 100% secure.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
