Overview

CloseWord is a free, browser-based word game. We are committed to keeping your experience private and transparent.

Data We Collect

None, on purpose. We do not collect personal information, create user accounts, or track you across websites.

Local Storage

Your game progress (guesses, hints, dark mode preference) is saved in your browser's local storage so you can resume where you left off. This data never leaves your device.

Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics (e.g. page views) to understand aggregate traffic. No personally identifiable information is collected.

Cookies

We do not use cookies for tracking. Only essential browser storage (localStorage) is used for game functionality.

Third Parties

We load Google Fonts for typography. Google may log standard web requests (IP, browser info) per their privacy policy. No other third-party services are used.

Children

This game is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes

We may update this policy occasionally. The "last updated" date will reflect any changes.
