Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 23, 2026

The short version

WordRace is developed by Francois Boiteux as an independent project. It does not collect personal information. No account, no email, no tracking. We store the bare minimum needed to run a multiplayer word game.

What we store

When you play WordRace, the following data is stored on our servers for the duration of a game session:

Display name — the nickname you choose before playing. This is not linked to any real identity.
Avatar seed — a random string used to generate your in-game avatar. It contains no personal information.
Game data — your guesses, board state, round results, and scores for the current series.
Anonymous player ID — a randomly generated identifier stored on your device. It is not linked to any account or personal information.

What we do NOT collect

Email addresses
Real names
Location data
Device identifiers (IDFA, IDFV)
Analytics or usage tracking
Advertising data
Cookies

Data retention

Game sessions are temporary. We do not maintain long-term records of your gameplay. Game data on the server is used only for the duration of active play and is not retained beyond what is needed for the service to function.

On your device, the app stores daily completion records (which puzzles you finished and your scores) using local storage. This data never leaves your device and is removed when you uninstall the app.

Data deletion

To delete your data, simply uninstall the app. Your anonymous player ID exists only on your device. Game sessions on our servers are automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Your data rights

Privacy regulations such as the GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California) grant individuals rights over their personal data, including the right to access, the right to deletion, and the right to data portability.

Since we do not collect personal information, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. Your anonymous player ID is stored only on your device — deleting the app removes it.

Third-party services

WordRace uses Supabase for real-time game infrastructure. Supabase processes game data on our behalf. Supabase hosts our infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS). For details, see Supabase's sub-processor list. No data is shared with advertisers or other third parties.

Children

WordRace is designed for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). Since the app requires no account, email, or personal details, there is no mechanism to collect children's data.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
