Word Solitaire1. Who we are and what this notice covers
Vasoo Apps (“Vasoo Apps”, “we”, “us”) runs the website wordsolitaire.net. Contact us at hello@vasooapps.com.
This notice covers this website only. The iOS app, Word Solitaire: Spell Cards, has its own policy: the games privacy policy.
2. The short version
- You do not need an account, and the site does not offer one.
- There are no ads on the site.
- Your game progress stays in your browser, on your device.
- The words you type are not sent to us.
- Our own analytics records how the site is used, linked to a random visitor ID. See section 4.
- Google Analytics and Google’s ad measurement run only as your cookie choice allows. See section 5.
3. What stays on your device
Your game progress, streak and settings are saved in your browser’s localStorage. They never leave your device, and we cannot see them.
You can erase them in either of two ways:
- Use the Reset progress control in the game’s settings. This clears your levels, stars and streak. Your settings stay.
- Clear this site’s data in your browser. This removes everything, settings included.
Once erased, they cannot be recovered. Because they live in one browser on one device, they do not follow you to another device.
4. Our own analytics
To understand how the site and the game are used, our own analytics service records the actions taken on the site. It runs on this site’s own address and is operated by Vasoo Apps. It records:
- the pages opened, how far a page is scrolled and how long it is viewed;
- the buttons and links tapped, identified by fixed names we give them, never by their text;
- game events: a deal started, a word played (its length, never the word), a deal won with its stars, the daily streak, hints, undo, settings changed and progress reset;
- page speed (Core Web Vitals) and page errors, as a coarse type only.
It stores a random visitor ID in your browser’s local storage. The events are linked to that ID, so this data is not anonymous. Cloudflare adds the approximate location of the connection (country, region, city and time zone). Your IP address is used to limit abuse and is not stored with the events. It does not record your name, your email address or the words you type, and it is not shared with advertising networks.
This analytics runs for every visitor and is not controlled by the cookie settings. You can remove the visitor ID by clearing this site’s data in your browser, and you can ask us to delete the data we hold by emailing us.
5. Cookies and Google services
The site uses Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics and Google’s ad measurement. These set cookies such as _ga. A cookie banner lets you accept or reject analytics and advertising cookies, and the Cookie settings link in the footer lets you change your choice at any time. The banner stores your choice in a cookie named cc_cookie.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google’s analytics and advertising storage stays off until you accept it. Elsewhere it is on unless you reject it. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
6. Hosting
The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard connection data such as IP addresses to serve and protect the site. Cloudflare Web Analytics also counts page views and page speed without cookies. See the Cloudflare privacy policy.
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on legitimate interests for proportionate security and service improvement when these are not outweighed by your rights.
7. App Store links
Links from this site to the App Store carry a campaign label. It shows Vasoo Apps, in aggregate, which page a visitor came from. Once you reach the App Store, Apple’s own terms and privacy policy apply.
8. If you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send. We use it to answer you and keep it only as long as reasonably necessary for that purpose and for any legal obligations. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details or identity documents.
9. Your choices and rights
The controls in section 3 let you remove what is stored on your device at any time. The Cookie settings link in the footer changes your cookie choice.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, to object to or restrict processing, and to complain to your local data-protection authority. To make a request, email hello@vasooapps.com. The site has no accounts, so the analytics in section 4 is linked only to the random visitor ID in your browser. We cannot find your data from your name or email address alone.
10. International processing
Our providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Where required, transfers rely on a lawful transfer mechanism. You may contact us for details.
11. Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us such information, contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
12. Changes and contact
We may update this notice as the site, its services or legal requirements change. This page shows the date of the latest revision.
