1 Introduction & Overview
Welcome to Wordom: Word Puzzle Game (hereinafter referred to as "the App", "we", "us", or "our"), developed and published by Hasan Mehmood.
This Privacy Policy governs your use of Wordom on Android devices via the Google Play Store. It details how the App operates, what information may be processed when you play, and the choices available to you regarding your data.
Our Core Privacy Commitment: We designed Wordom so you can launch the app and enjoy word puzzles without surrendering any personal identity. We do not operate custom backend user databases, nor do we sell your personal information.
2 Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike many modern apps, Wordom does not demand your personal identity. We do NOT collect, request, or store any of the following:
Personal Identifiers: Your real name, home address, phone number, or email address.
Accounts & Credentials: No account creation, social media login (Google, Facebook, etc.), or passwords.
Financial Information: Credit card numbers, banking info, or billing addresses.
Location Data: Precise GPS coordinates or real-time location.
Media & Device Files: Access to your photos, camera, microphone, or storage files.
Contacts & Social Graphs: Your address book or contacts list.
3 Information Collected Automatically (Third-Party Services)
To support ongoing game development and display non-intrusive advertisements, the App incorporates third-party SDKs provided by reputable industry leaders. These services may automatically collect standardized technical device information when you interact with the App.
Wordom uses Google AdMob to display advertising. Google AdMob may automatically collect and process certain data to deliver relevant ads and detect fraud:
Advertising Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (AAID) associated with your Android device.
Device Information: Device model, manufacturer, operating system version, carrier, and screen resolution.
IP Address & Network: IP address (primarily used to infer general country/city level geolocation for region-appropriate ads).
Ad Interaction Metrics: Information about ad impressions, clicks, and diagnostic telemetry.
How to Opt Out or Reset Your Advertising ID
You have complete control over personalized advertising on your Android device at any time:
On your Android device:
Navigate to Settings → Google → Ads (or Privacy → Ads).
Here you can tap "Reset advertising ID" or select "Delete advertising ID" to opt out of interest-based ads entirely.
The App requests only the minimal permissions required to provide its core functionality:
POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Push Notifications):
Used exclusively for scheduling optional daily puzzle reminders (e.g. 11:00 AM daily streak alerts). Notifications are generated locally on your device. You can turn reminders on or off at any moment in the App settings or in your device's notification manager.
INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE:
Required to fetch banner ads from Google AdMob and verify network reachability.
VIBRATE:
Used exclusively to provide tactile haptic feedback when typing letters, submitting valid guesses, or handling tile flip animations.
6 Local Data Storage & Persistence
All gameplay states, player titles, win streaks, guess distribution histograms, and settings are stored locally on your physical device using Android's native application sandbox (via AsyncStorage).
This data never leaves your device unless you choose to share your Wordle grid summary using the native Android share sheet. If you clear the App's storage or uninstall the App, all locally stored game data is immediately and permanently deleted.
7 Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Wordom is a general-audience word puzzle game and does not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area), in compliance with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international standards.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hmehmood121@gmail.com, and we will promptly take steps to delete any such data.
8 User Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)
Depending on your geographical location, you have rights regarding your personal data:
European Economic Area (GDPR)
The right to access, rectify, or erase your data.
The right to restrict or object to the processing of your data by third-party ad networks.
The right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (DPA).
California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)
The right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used.
The right to delete your personal information.
The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.
We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA.
Since Wordom does not collect personal identifiers or store your data on external servers, you can exercise your right to deletion instantly by clearing the app data in Android Settings.
9 Data Retention & Deletion
Because we do not maintain a central database containing your personal information, there is no retention of personal data on our servers.
To remove all local game records, stats, and settings:
We value your trust in providing us with your confidence. While no electronic transmission or storage method is 100% invulnerable, we design our software with privacy by default: we eliminate exposure by simply refusing to collect, store, or transmit unnecessary user data. Network communications for advertisements are encrypted via industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS).
11 Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our App, legal requirements, or Google Play policies. Any changes will be posted directly to this URL with an updated "Effective Date" at the top of this document.
You are advised to review this page periodically for any updates. Continued use of Wordom after updates are published signifies acceptance of the revised policy.
