Your Privacy Matters

Website

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to play. When you visit WordSearchPuzzle.net, standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This information is used only for security and performance monitoring — never sold or shared.

Chrome Extension

The Word Search Puzzle extension stores only the following data locally on your device using Chrome's storage API: your selected difficulty level, light/dark theme preference, total puzzles solved, current streak, streak date, and best completion times per category. This data never leaves your browser. We have no access to it.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how users interact with our site (pages visited, session length, device type). This data is aggregated and anonymous — no individual user is tracked or identified.

Advertising

We display ads via Google AdSense to keep the site free. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Any data collected is used solely to: (1) operate and improve the website and extension, (2) diagnose technical issues, and (3) understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

We use industry-standard security practices to protect data. Extension data is stored exclusively on your local device. The website is served over HTTPS. We regularly review our practices to ensure your information remains protected.

What the extension does NOT do

It does not collect personal information. It does not track browsing history. It does not send any data to our servers. It does not contain any remote code or third-party scripts. All game logic runs entirely in your browser.

WordSearchPuzzle.net is designed to be family-friendly and is enjoyed by players of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our site or extension after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this privacy policy, please use our contact page. We aim to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours.
