WordRing

Privacy Policy · Politique de confidentialité

WordRing collects no personal data. There is no WordRing account, no advertising, and no tracking of you across other apps or websites. The game plays entirely offline. The only thing it can ever send anywhere is a set of anonymous usage statistics — and only if you say yes when asked (see Anonymous Usage Statistics below). It is off until you do.

What stays on your device

Your best scores, unlocked achievements, Journey stars, daily streak, chosen language, ring skin and sound preferences are stored only on your device, in the app's own storage. Deleting the app deletes them.

Game Center

If you are signed in to Game Center, your scores and achievements are sent to Apple's Game Center so leaderboards and achievements work. That exchange is handled by iOS and governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. WordRing never receives your Apple Account details. The game is fully playable without Game Center.

iCloud

If you are signed in to iCloud, your progress — best scores, achievements, Journey stars and daily streak — is mirrored to your own iCloud storage so a second device picks it up. It travels between your devices through Apple, never through us, and we cannot read it. If you are not signed in to iCloud, nothing is mirrored and the game works exactly the same.

Purchases

WordRing offers one optional, one-time purchase that unlocks additional ring skins. The payment is handled entirely by the App Store. WordRing never sees your card, your billing address or your Apple Account — it only learns whether the purchase is active. Everything else in the game, including both modes, all languages, the Journey, achievements and leaderboards, is available without paying.

Notifications

If you allow it, WordRing can post one daily reminder about the day's challenge. It is scheduled on your device by iOS; no notification server is involved and nothing about you is sent anywhere. You can turn it off at any time in iOS Settings, and the game never asks before you have finished a first daily challenge.

Dictionaries

All 27 dictionaries are bundled inside the app. Nothing you type, tap or spell is ever sent anywhere.

Third-party data & acknowledgements

20 of WordRing's dictionaries are built from open dictionary data, credited here as required by their licenses:

• Word lists for Catalan, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Polish, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Slovenian, Turkish, Afrikaans and Indonesian are derived from the LibreOffice dictionaries project (Hunspell), © their respective authors, used under LGPL/MPL/CC BY terms (license per language).
• Place names used to keep city and country names out of the playable word lists come from GeoNames, licensed under CC BY 4.0.
• Given and family names used for the same purpose come from Wikidata, dedicated to the public domain under CC0.

None of this data is transmitted anywhere by the app — it ships inside the bundle, offline, like every other dictionary.

Anonymous Usage Statistics (Optional)

The first time you open WordRing (after the introduction), the app asks whether you agree to share anonymous usage statistics. This helps us understand how the game is used — which modes and languages people play, how the ring challenge is used, where the shop is opened — so we can improve it.

• Off by default. Nothing is sent until you tap Accept. You can change your mind at any time in Settings → Anonymous statistics; switching it off stops all sending immediately.
• What is sent, if you accept: technical events such as a round or Journey level starting or ending, a purchase completing, or the shop being opened — together with device model, iOS version, app language and country derived from your IP address by the provider. Purchases are reported with their price and currency for revenue statistics.
• What is never sent: your words, your scores, your name, or anything that identifies you. No advertising identifier (IDFA) is used and the app never asks for tracking permission, because it does not track you across other apps or websites.
• Provider: these statistics are processed by Google Firebase Analytics (and Firebase Crashlytics, for anonymous crash reports), on Google's servers, under Google's privacy terms. Data is used only for aggregated statistics about WordRing and is not shared with advertisers.

Sharing

If you tap Share, iOS shows you the standard share sheet and you choose the destination. WordRing sends nothing on its own.

Children

WordRing has no social features, no user-generated content, no chat and no advertising. Anonymous usage statistics are optional and contain nothing that identifies a person.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever starts handling data differently, this page is updated before that version ships, and the date below changes with it.
