At Wend Game, accessible from wendplay.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains detailed information about the types of information that is collected and recorded by Wend Game, how we use it, and how we protect your digital footprint.
If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at info@wendplay.com.
This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regards to the information that they shared and/or collect in Wend Game. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.
Information We Collect
Wend Game is explicitly designed to be a privacy-friendly, lightweight web application. We believe that playing a logic puzzle should not require you to surrender your personal data. Therefore, we do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) to access and play our puzzles.
1. Local Storage Data (Client-Side)
To provide a seamless gaming experience—such as allowing you to leave the page and resume your puzzle later—Wend Game extensively utilizes your browser's Local Storage and Session Storage APIs. We store data directly on your device to remember:
- Your daily challenge completion status and historical streak.
- Your in-progress puzzle states, including selected grid sizes and found words.
- Your game statistics, such as completion times and hints used.
- Your user interface preferences, such as dark/light mode toggles.
Crucially, this data remains on your personal device. It is nevertransmitted to, processed by, or stored on Wend Game's servers. Because you control your browser's local storage, you can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's cache and site data.
2. Log Files & Automated Analytics
Like almost all websites, Wend Game follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamps, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The sole purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering broad demographic information to ensure our servers can handle traffic loads.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Like any other website, Wend Game may use "cookies". These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. To know more detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers, it can be found at the browsers' respective websites.
Third-Party Privacy Policies & Services
Wend Game's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or third-party websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of any third-party ad servers or analytics providers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.
Note that Wend Game may contain links to external sites (such as the official LinkedIn game). Once you click on these links, you will be directed to a third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
GDPR Data Protection Rights
We would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:
- The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
- The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
- The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
Note: Because Wend Game does not collect or store personal data on our servers, these requests are generally not applicable, as we possess no data to access, rectify, or erase. Your gameplay data is controlled entirely by you via your browser's local storage.
Children's Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
Wend Game does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its Terms and Conditions. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
