WORDAL Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 21, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how the WORDAL app ("the App") handles your data. Our commitment to your privacy is paramount — the App is designed to be local-first, meaning your game data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.

WORDAL is developed and published by WordsBee. By installing and using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

The App does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, or postal address).

The App has no backend servers and does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, device information, or usage analytics.

Local Storage & Game Data

All game content — including puzzles and word lists — is bundled inside the App and downloaded with the app itself. No network connection is required to play.

Your game progress is stored locally on your device in secure on-device storage. This includes:

  • Game progress and state (in-progress puzzles, found words, solved categories)
  • Statistics (games played, games won, streaks, scores)
  • Game settings (hard mode, hints, confetti, theme preference)

No Data Transmission

Because the App is local-first, we do not receive or store any of your data. Your progress, statistics, and settings never leave your device.

We do not use analytics, advertising trackers, or third-party SDKs that collect personal information.

Third-Party Services

The App is distributed through third-party app stores (such as the Apple App Store and Google Play), which may collect their own data in accordance with their own policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their practices.

When you share your results using the App's share feature, your device's system share sheet is used; we do not see or store anything you share.

Data Security

Game data is protected using your device's secure storage mechanisms (encrypted on-device storage). Since no data is transmitted to or stored by us, there is no server-side data to be compromised.

User's Commitment

Users agree to use the App responsibly. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Not using the App for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
  • Not attempting to reverse-engineer, tamper with, or disrupt the App.
  • Not using automated systems or bots to interact with the App.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
