Dictionary Validation

Word Blast retrieves dictionary resources from wordly.org to verify words entered during gameplay. These requests do not include personal information, scores, or gameplay history.

Sharing Results

If you choose to share your results, Word Blast uses your device's native sharing functionality. Only the score summary you choose to share is included. No personal information is attached automatically.

4. Data Security

Because your data remains on your device, you maintain direct control over it. We do not operate servers that store gameplay information, reducing the risk of unauthorized access through external systems.

      Important:
      Clearing your browser data, using private browsing mode, reinstalling your browser,
      or switching devices may remove saved progress and statistics.

Local game data remains available until it is removed from your browser.

Preferences: Stored until browser data is cleared.
Statistics: Retained to track long-term progress.
Challenge History: Kept to maintain records and streaks.

Create Backups: Use browser tools to export local storage data if desired.
Play Privately: Use private or incognito browsing to avoid saving progress.

7. Children's Privacy

Word Blast is intended for players of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, teenagers, or adults. Since gameplay data is stored locally, no personal information is gathered through the game.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the game, legal requirements, or best practices. When updates are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
