Privacy Policy

Your words, your privacy — we never peek.

Last updated: August 31, 2026
NO DATA COLLECTED

Wordlum is a completely offline word game. We do not collect, store, or share any personal information, game stats, or device data. Your privacy is built into the game — not an afterthought.

Introduction

Wordlum (the "App") is a word‑finding puzzle game developed by Wordlum (referred to as "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our App.

We believe that privacy is a fundamental right. That's why Wordlum is designed to work entirely without collecting any data from you or your device.

By using Wordlum, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

What We Do NOT Collect

Wordlum operates with a strict zero‑data policy. We never collect:

  • Personal information — no names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable data.
  • Game progress — your scores, levels, or completed words stay only on your device and are never sent to us.
  • Usage analytics — we don't track how you play, which features you use, or how long you play.
  • Device identifiers — no IP addresses, advertising IDs, MAC addresses, or other device‑specific tokens.
  • Location data — we never request or access your geographic location.
  • Payment information — Wordlum does not process payments and has no in‑app purchases.
  • User‑generated content — any words you form or custom lists you create are stored locally and never transmitted.
How the game works: Wordlum uses a built‑in dictionary that is packaged with the app. All word checks and puzzle generation happen entirely on your device — no internet connection is required, and no data ever leaves your phone.

Local Storage (Your Device Only)

Wordlum may store small amounts of data locally on your device to improve your experience. This data never leaves your phone:

  • Game preferences — such as sound settings or theme choices.
  • Progress state — the current level or puzzle you are on, so you can resume later.
  • Custom word lists — if you create your own word lists, they are saved only on your device.

You can clear all locally stored data at any time by uninstalling the App or clearing the App's storage from your device settings.

Permissions

Wordlum requires no special permissions to function. It does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, storage, or any other sensitive device features.

The App works entirely offline and does not connect to the internet, so it never transmits any data.

Compliance with Laws & Policies

Our Privacy Policy is designed to comply with major privacy frameworks and platform requirements:

  • GDPR (EU) — we respect the principles of transparency, data minimization, and user rights. Since we collect no data, there is nothing to process or delete.
  • CCPA/CPRA (California) — California residents have specific privacy rights; we honor them by not collecting any personal information.
  • COPPA (Children's privacy) — Wordlum is safe for users of all ages because we do not collect any data from anyone.
  • Google Play & App Store policies — we fully comply with all user data disclosure requirements by clearly stating our no‑data‑collection practices.

Third‑Party Services

Wordlum does not integrate with any third‑party SDKs, analytics tools, advertising networks, or crash‑reporting services.

The App does not connect to external servers or APIs. It is entirely self‑contained and offline‑first.

If we ever decide to introduce third‑party services in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and obtain your consent where required by applicable law.

Your Privacy Rights

Even though we don't collect your data, we want you to know your rights:

  • Right to be informed — this policy clearly explains our practices.
  • Right to access — you can request confirmation that we are not collecting your data.
  • Right to deletion — since we store no data, there is nothing to delete.
  • Right to opt‑out — you can stop using the App at any time; no data will be retained.
  • Right to data portability — not applicable, as we hold no data.
