Privacy Policy for Word Chain Game

Last Updated: August 2, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Word Chain! This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you play our game.

2. Information We Collect

Our game collects minimal information to provide gameplay functionality:

• Game Progress: Your high score is stored locally on your device using browser localStorage.
• Dictionary API: When you submit a word, it is sent to dictionaryapi.dev to verify if it's a valid English word.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for:

• Maintaining your high score between game sessions
• Validating word submissions during gameplay
• Improving game performance and user experience

4. Data Storage and Security

Your high score is stored only in your browser's localStorage and is not transmitted to any external servers. This data remains on your device unless you clear your browser's cache.

5. Third-Party Services

We use dictionaryapi.dev to validate words. When you submit a word, it is sent to their API to check if it exists in the English dictionary. We do not control how they handle this data.

Word validation is provided by a third-party API (dictionaryapi.dev). We do not control or store the words you submit beyond the current game session.

6. Children's Privacy

Our game is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
