Privacy Policy

Introduction

Don't Wordle UK ("we", "our", or "us") operates the dontwordle.uk website. This page explains our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our service, and the choices you have under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

Information We Collect

We do not collect personal information directly. The game uses your browser's local storage to save game progress, statistics, and settings. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. We do not require an account to play, and we do not ask for your name, email, or any other contact detail.

Local Storage

The game stores the following data in your browser's local storage:

• Game progress (guesses, feedback, game status, undo count)
• Game statistics (wins, losses, current streak, best streak)
• Settings (Hard Mode preference, theme)

This data never leaves your device. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser data for dontwordle.uk, which resets the game and removes your stored statistics.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Plausible) that collect information sent by your browser. These services have their own privacy policies. We may also serve advertising through partners such as Google AdSense; those partners may set their own cookies subject to their own policies.

Cookies

We do not set our own cookies. Third-party analytics or advertising services that we add in the future may use cookies according to their own policies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Children's Privacy

Our service does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The game is a word puzzle suitable for general audiences. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information through a third-party service we use, please contact us.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data that may be held about you. Because we do not collect personal data on our servers, the most effective step is usually to clear your browser data and disable any third-party cookies. You may also contact us with any questions about this policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date above.

Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the details listed in our Terms of Service. We aim to respond to privacy requests within 30 days.
