Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Calming Crosswords (the "Application") handles your information. The Application is built as a web-based Progressive Web App (PWA) and can be accessed online or through wrapped native mobile applications.

1. Data Collection and Usage

We believe in absolute user privacy. The Application does not require registration, usernames, or passwords to play.

• Local Data Storage: All of your game progression, level completed history, streaks, settings, coins, and hints are saved locally on your device using your browser's local storage (localStorage). This data remains on your device and is not shared.
• Cloud Synchronization (Optional): If you choose to enable cloud sync features, the Application utilizes anonymous authentication and database services (via Google Firebase) to securely back up and synchronize your coins, hints, and level progress. This data is handled securely and is used solely to keep your game state synchronized across devices.

2. Third-Party Services & Advertising

The Application includes integration with advertising networks to support ongoing development. Specifically:

• Google H5 Games Ads / AdSense: The Application displays advertisements served by Google. Google may use cookies, device identifiers, and usage data to serve personalized and non-personalized ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can manage your ad preferences through your Google account settings.

3. Device Permissions

To provide a premium gaming experience, the Application may request the following standard device permissions:

• Vibration / Haptic Feedback: Used to provide subtle sensory confirmation when letters are selected or words are solved. You can disable this at any time in the in-game Settings.

4. Children's Privacy

Our game content is 100% educational, safe, and family-friendly. We do not knowingly collect or store any personal data from children under 13.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
