Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 24, 2026
This policy explains what data Word Journey: Puzzle Game collects, why, and what your rights are. We kept it short: the app asks for no personal identifiers, and the data it does collect is limited to running the game and serving ads.
In short
We never ask for your name, email address or phone number. You do not need an account.
Ads are served by Google AdMob, and the app requests non-personalized ads on every request.
We do not use the advertising identifier for tracking, which is why the app shows no tracking permission prompt.
Data we collect
We collect the minimum the game needs to work:
- Anonymous user ID — a random number generated to store your progress and gem balance in the cloud. It contains nothing that identifies you.
- Game progress — completed levels, words found, gem transactions.
- Device identifier — used by Google AdMob to serve ads.
- Coarse location — AdMob derives country/city level location from your IP address. The app never accesses device location services and never requests location permission.
- Advertising and usage data — the ads you have seen, in-app interactions.
- Diagnostics — crash logs and performance measurements.
Why we collect it
Game progress and the anonymous ID are used solely to run the game: so you can resume where you left off and so your gem balance stays correct.
Advertising-related data is used to serve the ads that keep the game free.
Diagnostic data helps us find and fix problems.
We do not sell your data and do not share it with third parties for marketing.
Service providers
The app relies on two external services:
- Google AdMob — ad serving. See policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites for Google’s data practices.
- Supabase — the database where game progress is stored.
Ads and tracking
The app shows banner, interstitial and rewarded ads through Google AdMob. Rewarded ads are entirely optional: watch one to earn a hint, or skip it and keep playing.
Every ad request is sent as non-personalized, meaning no targeting based on your past behaviour.
We do not present Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt, because we do not use your device identifier to track you across companies.
Retention and deletion
Your game data is kept until you delete it.
In the app, Settings › Delete Account permanently removes your anonymous record and all progress attached to it. This cannot be undone.
You can also request deletion by writing to destek@tomx.co.
Children’s privacy
The app is not directed at children and is not listed in the App Store Kids category. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 13.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (KVKK in Türkiye, GDPR in the European Union), you have the right to access, correct or delete your data.
To exercise these rights, write to destek@tomx.co.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. When something material changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
