Privacy Policy for Word Chest

Effective Date: 13th December 2024

Welcome to Word Chest! This privacy policy outlines how Word Chest ("we", "our", or "us") protects your privacy. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to ensuring a safe and secure experience for all users of our app.

1. About Word Chest

Word Chest (the "App") is a mobile application designed to help users search, save, and organize word definitions. This privacy policy applies solely to the Word Chest iOS application and its related website located at wordchest.co.uk.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at:

  • Support Email: wordchesthelp@gmail.com

2. No Collection of Personal Data

Word Chest does not collect, store, or process any personal information from its users. We have designed the app to operate entirely offline, and it does not:

  • Collect personal data (e.g., names, emails, phone numbers).

  • Track location data.

  • Access contacts, photos, or any device storage without explicit user consent.

  • Use any third-party tracking or analytics tools.

Your privacy is important to us, and we intentionally do not gather or share personal information.

3. Data Retention and Storage

Since Word Chest does not collect or store personal data, no information is retained on our servers. All data, such as saved words and definitions, is stored locally on your device and remains under your control.

4. Third-Party Services

Word Chest does not use third-party services or software (e.g., analytics, advertising networks, or social media plugins) that would access your data.

However, should you visit our website (wordchest.co.uk), third-party services like hosting providers may process anonymous and aggregated data such as:

  • IP addresses

  • Browser types

  • Device types

This data is purely for website functionality and is not linked to any personal data.

5. Cookies

Word Chest does not use cookies within the app. Our website, wordchest.co.uk, may use cookies for basic functionality and performance analytics. Any cookies used are non-identifiable and do not store personal data.

6. Children’s Privacy

Word Chest is suitable for all age groups. As we do not collect personal information, the app complies with regulations like the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar data protection laws.

7. Security

The security of your information is paramount to us. Since Word Chest does not transmit or store any personal data on external servers, risks associated with data breaches are minimized.

Data stored locally on your device, such as saved words and definitions, remains private and secure. We recommend that users enable device-level security (e.g., passcodes, biometrics) to further safeguard their information.

8. Your Rights

As Word Chest does not collect personal data, there are no stored records that could be shared, deleted, or corrected upon request.

However, if you have any questions or concerns about your data privacy, feel free to reach out to us at wordchesthelp@gmail.com.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app’s features or legal obligations. Any changes will be communicated by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically for updates.
