This policy describes how Word Menagerie handles information in its current version, which includes solo games, Game Center multiplayer, and an optional permanent full-game unlock. The current version does not include advertising.
Information on your device
Word Menagerie stores solo game progress, saved games, statistics, earned stickers, and daily play and hint allowances on your device. The app uses bundled word lists and puzzle collections to run solo games. It does not require a separate Word Menagerie account.
Your device and Apple backup settings may affect whether local app data is included in backups. If you opt in to gameplay analytics in a build that offers it, the app shares the activity described below.
Game Center and multiplayer
Multiplayer features use Apple Game Center. When you use these features, the app processes Game Center player identifiers, display names, participants, game moves, scores, and match results to operate games and display your history with other players. Opponents can see information associated with your shared games. Some match history and favorite-opponent information is cached on your device.
Apple operates Game Center and processes information under its own terms and privacy practices. You can manage Game Center through your Apple device settings.
Purchases and offer codes
The full-game unlock is processed by Apple through the App Store. The app uses Apple StoreKit to check verified purchase information and provide, restore, or revoke access as appropriate, including when an offer code is redeemed or a purchase is refunded.
Steven Noble does not receive your payment card details. Apple handles payment information and purchase records under its own privacy practices. Restoring purchases uses your Apple Account; it does not require a separate account with Steven Noble.
Support messages
If you contact support, Steven Noble receives the email address, message, attachments, and other information you choose to send. This information is used to respond to your request and address app issues. Support email is processed through Google Gmail. Please avoid including passwords, payment card details, or other unnecessary sensitive information.
Support correspondence is retained as needed to handle your request, maintain relevant support records, and meet applicable obligations. You can request deletion of support correspondence using the contact address above.
Advertising and analytics
Word Menagerie is ad-free. Apple may process App Store, Game Center, and diagnostic information according to your account and device settings and Apple’s privacy practices.
In builds that offer gameplay analytics, sharing is off by default. After your first completed game, the app may ask if you want to share analytics with Google Analytics for Firebase to help improve Word Menagerie. Your choice does not affect access to games or the price of the unlock.
If you choose Share analytics in the prompt, the app sends one summary of the game you just finished. The summary reports which game you played, its mode, and the outcome. Choosing Don’t share discards the summary. Turning sharing on later in Settings enables sharing for future activity.
With sharing on, the app reports activity such as starting or finishing games, using hints, earning stickers, and viewing or completing the Full Game Unlock purchase. Google Analytics for Firebase uses an app installation identifier and may receive app and device information and automatic usage events. The app’s analytics events do not include your name, email address, words you enter, Game Center identifiers, purchase receipts, or payment details. Word Menagerie uses gameplay analytics to improve the app and does not use it for advertising or cross-app tracking.
To stop sharing, open Settings → Share gameplay analytics in Word Menagerie and turn it off. This stops further collection and clears Firebase analytics data stored on your device. Data already sent is subject to the analytics service’s retention settings. Use the contact address above to ask about analytics data or request deletion.
Your choices and deletion
The Reset all game data action clears local gameplay progress, saved games, statistics, and stickers. It does not replenish daily allowances, erase App Store purchases, or delete Game Center matches. Deleting the app removes its local storage from that installation; backups and information held by Apple are subject to Apple’s settings and retention practices.
You can manage purchases, refund requests, Game Center information, and device backups using Apple’s services. To ask about information supplied directly to Steven Noble, including support messages, use the contact address above. Applicable privacy rights depend on where you live and the information involved.
