🔒 The short version: Wordy does not collect, store or transmit any personal data. Everything stays on your device.
Who we are
Wordy is a crossword puzzle app designed for children aged 6–12. It is developed and maintained as an independent app available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at hello@wordyapp.net.
What data we collect
We collect no personal data. Wordy does not require an account, does not ask for your name, email address, age, location or any other personal information.
The app functions entirely offline on your device. No information is ever sent to our servers because we do not operate any servers that receive user data.
What is stored on your device
Wordy stores the following data locally on your device only, using your device's built-in local storage:
- Your puzzle progress and completed puzzles
- Your hint balance
- Whether you have unlocked premium access
This data exists only on your device. It is never transmitted to us or any third party. You can clear it at any time by deleting the app.
In-app purchases
Wordy offers a one-time optional purchase to unlock all puzzles (£3.99). This transaction is processed entirely by Apple (via the App Store) or Google (via Google Play). We do not handle, process or store any payment information. All billing is managed by Apple or Google under their respective terms and privacy policies.
Children's privacy
Wordy is designed for children. We take children's privacy extremely seriously.
We do not knowingly collect any personal data from anyone, including children. The app contains no advertising, no social features, no account creation, no chat functionality and no data collection of any kind.
Wordy complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code).
Advertising
Wordy contains no advertising of any kind. We do not work with any advertising networks and no advertising SDKs are included in the app.
Third-party services
