Privacy Policy for Crossword

Effective Date: July 6, 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.

Information We Collect

A. Personal Information

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.

B. Local Device Data (Game State)

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.

C. Cloud Data & Leaderboards (Google Firebase)

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.

D. Automatically Collected Information (Third-Party Services)

The App integrates third-party services that may collect information automatically. Specifically, we use Google AdMob to provide in-game advertisements and Google Firebase for our leaderboard database.

These third-party services may automatically collect information such as:

How Your Information is Used

For more detailed information on how Google collects and uses your data, please review Google’s policy:

Opting Out of Personalized Ads

Children’s Privacy

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.

Security

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.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

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.
