Privacy Policy

Conspellation (conspellation.com) is a word game run by an independent developer. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. You can play without an account, and most of what follows only applies if you sign in.

What we collect

• Account details. If you sign in, we store your email address and a name, if you set one or your sign-in provider shares it.
• Your play. For signed-in players we store your game activity, such as the puzzles you play, your guesses and the help you use, so your progress follows you between devices.
• Technical information. When you use the site, we and our service providers automatically receive information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit and when. We use it to keep the site and accounts secure and to understand how the site is used.

Cookies and browser storage

We use cookies and similar browser storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and save your progress if you play without an account. That progress stays in your browser unless you sign in, when it can be added to your account.

We also use Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies to measure how the site is used. You can block cookies in your browser settings or with Google's opt-out add-on; the game works the same without analytics cookies.

How we use it

• To run the game and save your progress.
• To provide accounts and sign-in.
• To keep the site secure and prevent abuse.
• To understand how the site is used and improve it.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not send marketing email.

Who we share it with

With service providers that help us operate the site, such as providers of hosting, storage, email delivery, sign-in and analytics. They handle information on our behalf and only for that purpose. This includes Google, for Google sign-in and Google Analytics; see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

We also share some of it with the players you play with. Playing a game as a team shows your teammates each other's name and avatar, and the words, nudges and revealed answers on that game, and the words you try there that aren't in the word list. Your name and avatar stay on the words you found together, even after you leave the team. A join code or link shows its sharer's name and avatar to whoever uses it, on the screen that asks them to confirm, before they join. If you haven't set a name, your teammates see the part of your email address before the @ instead. You can change your name on the Account page.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the site and its players. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or in other countries where our providers operate.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and play history for as long as your account exists, and other information only as long as we need it for the purposes above. When you delete your account, we delete its information, except anything we must keep to meet a legal obligation.

Your choices

• Delete your account. You can delete your account at any time from the Account page. If you cannot sign in, email contact@conspellation.com from the address on your account and we will delete it for you.
• See or correct your data. Email the same address and we will send you a copy of what we hold, or fix it.
• Play without an account. Progress kept in your browser can be erased by clearing your browser's site data.

Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under local law, such as objecting to certain processing or complaining to a data protection authority. Email us and we will honor any right that applies to you.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Our Terms and Conditions also apply to your use of the site.
