WordHint is a small site, and this policy is written to match it: we collect almost nothing, we sell nothing, and we do not track you around the web. If you only read the hints and play the solver, we learn nothing about you as a person.
What we collect
When you visit, the hosting service keeps ordinary server logs for security and reliability, such as the page requested, the time, and a technical address. Those logs are used to keep the site up and to spot abuse, and they are not used to build a profile of you. We also use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. Google Analytics sets cookies and sends Google your page visits, your browser, and your approximate location. We do not ask you to create an account, so we hold no usernames, passwords, or profiles.
What we never do
We never sell personal data, because we have none worth selling. We never show you ads based on your browsing, and we never share your information with advertisers. The solver runs entirely in your browser, and the boards and dominoes you reveal are not sent to us or stored anywhere.
Emails you send us
If you email us, we keep your message and your email address so we can reply and fix the problem you reported. We use it only for that purpose. We do not add you to a mailing list, we do not send you marketing emails, and we do not share your email address with anyone else.
How long data is kept
Server logs are kept only as long as the hosting service needs them for security and reliability, and then they are deleted on a rolling basis. Emails are kept as long as needed to handle the question or correction, and then deleted when they are no longer needed.
Your rights
You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete an email you sent us. Write to [email protected] with the details, and we will answer. Where you live may give you additional rights under local privacy law, and we will respect them.
Cookies
This site uses only the cookies it needs to work, if any. It does not use advertising cookies. You can read the full detail on our Cookie Policy page.
Third-party content
This site loads one third-party analytics script: Google Analytics (Google tag, measurement ID G-XY4FHDVTYT). It is used only to measure visits, and it is described in the Google Analytics paragraph above. We run no third-party advertising.
Children
This site is a puzzle hints site, and it is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are a parent and you believe a child has emailed us, write to us and we will delete the message.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new last updated date. The version in force is always the one on this page.
