Data We Collect

Account Data

When you create an account, we store your Email Address and Display Name via Google Firebase Authentication. This allows you to log in across different devices and keep your progress.

Gameplay Stats

We save your High Scores and match history in the Firestore database to generate the "Top 20" leaderboard.

Multiplayer Data Lifecycle

Our real-time multiplayer uses a temporary "Room" system. Here is the lifecycle of your data during a match:

1. Created

When you generate a Room Code, a temporary document is created in the database.

2. Active

Moves (words typed) are synced live between two players.

3. Deleted

As soon as the game ends or a player disconnects, the room data is permanently deleted.

Third-Party Services

Google Firebase

Used for secure authentication, real-time database, and hosting. Privacy Policy

Google Gemini API

Used solely in "Find Word" mode to generate word definitions. We do not send your personal account data to Gemini; only generic system prompts are sent.

Your Right to Delete

You have complete control. You can delete your account and all associated data instantly without contacting support.

Step-by-Step Deletion
