Privacy Policy — Wordly: Word Game with Friends

App: Wordly: Word Game with Friends (com.denmar.wordly) · Developer: DM Games Lab (Denys Marchuk) · Effective date: July 12, 2026

Summary

Wordly is a word-guessing game. It has no user accounts, no advertising, no analytics trackers, and it does not sell data. The only data that leaves your device is the minimum needed for online multiplayer: an anonymous identifier, the nickname you choose, and your game progress during a match. Multiplayer data is automatically deleted within 7 days.

1. Data we collect

• Anonymous identifier. When you use multiplayer, the app creates an anonymous account via Google Firebase Authentication. It is a random ID not linked to your name, email, phone number or any other real-world identity.
• Nickname. A name you type yourself (up to 16 characters). It is shown to the other players in your game room. Please do not use your real full name if you prefer not to share it.
• Gameplay data in multiplayer. While you play an online match we transmit your progress (guessed words within the match, current position, results and timing) so that other players in the same room can see the race.
• Technical data. Google Firebase, our hosting provider, processes standard technical information (such as IP address) transiently to deliver the service, as described in Firebase Privacy and Security.

2. Data stored only on your device

Your statistics, streaks, settings (language, theme, sound), unfinished games and daily-word history are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded anywhere. Uninstalling the app deletes them.

3. What we do NOT collect

• No name, email address, phone number or contacts;
• No location data;
• No advertising identifiers — the app contains no ads;
• No analytics or behavioural tracking;
• No payment data — the app is free with no in-app purchases.

4. How we use the data

Multiplayer data is used solely to run the game: creating rooms, showing who joined, displaying opponents' live progress and the final leaderboard. Nothing is used for advertising or profiling, and nothing is ever sold or shared with third parties beyond Google Firebase acting as our data processor.

5. Retention and deletion

• Match data (rooms, players, results) is deleted automatically no later than 7 days after the match is created.
• The shared daily word record contains no personal data and also expires after 7 days.
• Your nickname is stored on your device; in match records it is deleted together with the match data above.
• The anonymous ID exists only while the app is installed. Uninstalling the app orphans it permanently.
• You may request deletion of any data related to your anonymous ID by contacting us (see below).

6. Children

Wordly is a general-audience word game with no ads, no chat beyond predefined game data, and no collection of personal information. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

7. Security

Data in transit is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Multiplayer data is stored in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) data centres and protected by access rules.

8. Your rights

Depending on your location (including the EEA and UK under GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Because our identifiers are anonymous, exercising these rights may require you to contact us from within the app context so we can locate your anonymous ID. The legal basis for processing multiplayer data is the performance of the game service you request (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).

9. International transfers

Multiplayer data is processed on Google Firebase infrastructure, which may store data on servers outside your country. Google LLC participates in recognised transfer frameworks and applies standard contractual clauses; see Firebase Privacy and Security.

10. Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with a new effective date.
