Wordhoard is a word game (a word roguelike). It has no accounts, no login and no server of mine that receives anything about you. This policy describes what the shipped app actually does.
The app does not ask for, receive or transmit your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, files, microphone or camera. It has no free-text fields.
Your runs, gold, charms, unlocks, settings and statistics are stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes them. Android's own backup service may copy app data to your Google account according to your device settings; I have no access to it.
The app shows ads through Google AdMob: a banner on screen, and an optional rewarded video you can choose to watch for a second chance when a run ends. There are no full-screen ads between levels. For this, Google receives your device's resettable advertising ID, an approximate location derived from your IP address, and information about your interaction with ads. I receive only aggregate, anonymous earnings and impression counts. Google's handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland you are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, and can change your choice any time under Settings → Privacy choices in the app. Buying Remove Ads removes the banner.
The app uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the game is played: events such as a run started or ended, a page won, tiles scrubbed, an ad watched, or the language chosen, with details like the chapter reached and the words left. Google also records the app version, device model, Android version, an approximate country and an app-instance identifier it generates. Nothing you type or identify yourself with is sent. The analytics property is linked to AdMob so that ad revenue can be measured. If you decline the ad consent choice, analytics consent is set to denied as well. I see only aggregate reports.
The optional in-app purchase (Remove Ads) is processed by Google Play. I never see your payment details. Purchase records are managed through RevenueCat, which receives an anonymous app-user identifier and the purchase receipt so that purchases can be restored; see the RevenueCat privacy policy.
If you allow it, the app schedules a reminder on your own device. Nothing about this is sent anywhere. You can turn it off in the app's settings or in Android settings.
The app is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13.
Everything the app stores is on your device: uninstalling the app or clearing its storage (Android Settings → Apps → Wordhoard → Storage → Clear storage) deletes it. To reset your advertising ID, see Advertising above. Analytics data held by Google is aggregated and retained per Google's standard retention (14 months). For any request, email developer@uyllii.com.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date.
