Last updated: January 15, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to One Word, a word puzzle game developed by Clever Little Games. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information We DO NOT Collect

One Word is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information including:

  • Names, email addresses, or contact information
  • Location data or GPS coordinates
  • Photos, camera, or microphone access
  • Social media profiles or contacts
  • Device identifiers for advertising purposes

2.2 Information We Do Collect

We collect minimal, non-personal information to provide and improve our service:

  • Game Progress Data: Your game statistics, scores, and progress are stored locally on your device
  • High Scores: Anonymous high scores stored via Supabase to enable leaderboards and competitive features
  • Crash Reports: Anonymous crash data via Sentry to help us fix bugs and improve app stability
  • Purchase Information: Transaction records for in-app purchases, processed securely through Apple's App Store

3. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used solely to:

  • Provide game functionality and save your progress
  • Process in-app purchases securely
  • Identify and fix technical issues
  • Improve app performance and user experience

4. Data Storage and Security

  • Local Storage: Game data is stored locally on your device using secure iOS storage mechanisms
  • Cloud Services: We use Supabase for storing anonymous high scores and Sentry for crash reporting
  • No Data Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes
  • Data Retention: Crash reports are automatically deleted after 90 days; high scores are retained to maintain leaderboard functionality

5. In-App Purchases

One Word offers in-app purchases for game coins. All transactions are processed securely through Apple's App Store:

  • We do not store credit card or payment information
  • Purchase records are handled by Apple according to their privacy policy
  • Purchases are tied to your Apple ID, not personal information we collect

6. Children's Privacy

One Word is suitable for all ages (4+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, this policy applies to all age groups.

7. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Sentry: For anonymous crash reporting and app stability monitoring. No personal information is included in crash reports.
  • Supabase: For storing anonymous high scores and leaderboard data. High scores are not linked to personal identities.
  • Apple App Store: For in-app purchase processing and transaction management.

These services have their own privacy policies and may collect data according to their terms. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies:

8. Your Rights and Choices

  • Data Access: Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal data to access
  • Data Deletion: You can delete all game data by uninstalling the app
  • Opt-Out: Crash reporting cannot be disabled but contains no personal information

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. International Users

One Word is available worldwide. Since we don't collect personal information, international data transfer regulations don't apply to personal data. Anonymous crash reports and high scores may be processed in the United States where our service providers' servers are located.
