Introduction
Word Drop is a mobile word game developed by an independent studio. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and disclosed when you use Word Drop (the "app"). By using Word Drop, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
Word Drop does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to play. Limited information may be collected automatically through the app or through third-party services we use. This may include:
- Device identifiers, such as advertising IDs
- Basic app usage information
- Diagnostic and crash reports
- Purchase transaction information
- Advertising-related identifiers used to serve and measure ads
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information.
How We Use Information
The information collected is used to:
- Operate and improve the app
- Display advertisements
- Process and restore in-app purchases
- Support gameplay features such as multiplayer, co-op, and leaderboards
- Send push notifications if you have enabled them
- Monitor app stability, performance, and crashes
Advertising
Word Drop uses Google AdMob to display advertisements within the app. AdMob and its advertising partners may use device identifiers or similar technologies to deliver, personalize, and measure advertisements. You can limit ad tracking through your device's advertising settings.
In-App Purchases
Word Drop offers in-app purchases. Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store — we do not receive or store your payment information. Purchase validation and restoration is handled through RevenueCat, which helps us verify purchases and restore them if you reinstall the app or switch devices.
Push Notifications
If you grant notification permissions, Word Drop may send gameplay-related or app-related notifications, such as reminders to play or updates about new features. You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings.
Third-Party Services
Word Drop relies on the following third-party services to provide certain features:
- Apple — app distribution, payments, and platform services
- Google AdMob — in-app advertising
- RevenueCat — purchase validation and restoration
These services operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them if you would like more information about their practices.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Limited data may be shared with our service providers and platform partners as needed to run app features, process purchases, display ads, and maintain app functionality.
Children's Privacy
Word Drop is a general-audience word game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Your Choices
You have several options to control your information:
- Disable notifications through your device settings
- Limit ad tracking through your device's advertising settings
- Manage, restore, or cancel purchases through your Apple ID settings
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will take effect as soon as the updated policy is posted.
