Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 12 March 2026

Introduction

I Love Word Search ("we", "our", or "the App") is a word search puzzle game developed by ThinkApps AI Ltd. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data

We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage data to help improve the App. This may include:

  • App opens, screen views, and feature usage
  • Game events (puzzles completed, hints used, streaks)
  • Device type and operating system version
  • General geographic region (country-level)

This data is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Advertising Data

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect:

  • Device advertising identifier
  • IP address (for approximate location)
  • App usage data for ad personalisation

You can opt out of personalised advertising through your device settings. We request non-personalised ads by default.

In-App Purchases

If you purchase the "Remove Ads" option, the transaction is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store any payment information. We only store a local flag indicating your ad-free status.

Local Storage

All game data (settings, progress, streaks, achievements, custom categories, and saved games) is stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. This data is not transmitted to any external server.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and improve the game experience
  • Analyse usage patterns to fix bugs and optimise features
  • Display relevant advertisements (unless you have purchased ad removal)
  • Track daily challenges, streaks, and achievements

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

  • Firebase Analytics (Google) — anonymous usage analytics
  • Google AdMob — advertising
  • Apple App Store — in-app purchases

Each service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

Children's Privacy

I Love Word Search is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The App does not require account creation or any personal data input.

Data Retention

All game data is stored locally on your device. Uninstalling the App will delete all locally stored data. Anonymous analytics data is retained by Firebase according to Google's data retention policies.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Delete all local app data by uninstalling the App
  • Opt out of personalised advertising via your device settings
  • Request information about data we hold (contact us below)
