Privacy Policy

What we store, what third parties may collect, and the choices you have.

Last updated October 6, 2026

Summary

  • You can play every game without an account and without giving us any personal information.
  • Your game progress and statistics are stored in your browser, not on our servers.
  • Third-party services described below — advertising, analytics, fonts and affiliate links — may collect information when they are in use.

Who we are

MyWordIQ (“we”, “us”) operates the website at https://mywordiq.com. You can reach us at contact@mywordiq.com.

Information stored on your device

The games use your browser’s local storage to remember:

  • your progress in a puzzle you have started;
  • your results for puzzles you have finished (for example, number of guesses, hints used and completion time);
  • your streaks and statistics, which are calculated from those results;
  • your cookie choice, if you have been asked for one.

This information stays in your browser. It is not transmitted to us, and it contains no name, email address or account identifier. You can delete it at any time by clearing site data for mywordiq.com in your browser settings. If local storage is blocked, the games still work but progress is lost when you close the tab.

Information you send us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply and to fix the issue you raised, and we do not add you to a mailing list.

Server logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard request information such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. These logs are used for security and troubleshooting.

Analytics

We may use an analytics service, such as Google Analytics, to understand in aggregate how the site is used. When enabled, it may set cookies and collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, and device and browser type. We also record anonymous game events — for example that a puzzle was started, completed or that a hint was used. We do not send the answers you type, and we do not send your name or email address to analytics.

Advertising

We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and its partners. When advertising is active:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
  • More information is available in Google’s explanation of how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Affiliate links

Some pages contain links to Amazon.com that include our Amazon Associates tracking ID. If you follow one, Amazon may set cookies and will know that you arrived from our site; if you make a qualifying purchase we may earn a commission. Amazon’s handling of your information is governed by Amazon’s own privacy notice. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Other third-party services

Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google’s servers when a page loads. Links to other websites are governed by those websites’ policies.

Cookies and your choices

  • Consent. Where advertising or analytics cookies are in use, we ask for your choice before they are set, and you can play whether you accept or decline. In regions where the law requires it, additional consent tools provided by our advertising partner may be shown.
  • Browser controls. You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings.
  • Changing your mind. Clearing site data for mywordiq.com resets your cookie choice so you are asked again.

Your rights

Depending on where you live — for example in California, or in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom — you may have rights to know what personal information is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to opt out of certain uses. Because we do not operate accounts and game data stays on your device, we hold very little; to make a request, email contact@mywordiq.com. We do not sell personal information for money. To limit advertising-related sharing, use the opt-out links above.

Children

MyWordIQ is a general-audience website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Data retention and security

Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your request. Game data remains in your browser until you delete it. The site is served over HTTPS.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices change — for example when a new service is added — and revise the date at the top.
