7 Coder Words — Privacy Policy

Introduction

This privacy policy describes how 7 Coder Words handles data generated by visitors and players of the game.

Core Principles

• Your data is used exactly as you expect.
• Your data is not shared with anyone, at any time.
• Your data does not leave your device without your explicit consent.

Data Collection

In your browser

The game stores the following data locally in your browser's localStorage:

• Current puzzle progress (active puzzle index, selected tiles, solved clues)
• Sound on/off preference
• Hints remaining
• Number of puzzles solved

No personal information is requested or stored. The game does not use cookies, analytics, or any form of user tracking.

On the server

The web server logs standard HTTP request data (timestamp, request path, response status, response size, referer, user agent). Client IP addresses are anonymized before being written, in line with GDPR data-minimization principles, so log entries cannot identify individual visitors.

Third-Party Services

The game makes no requests to third-party services. All assets (game logic, audio, icons) are served from the same origin and cached locally by the service worker for offline play.

The game's About screen contains links to the game's Mastodon profile, its RSS feed, and the Creative Commons license. These links open in a new tab only when you tap them. Those destinations maintain their own privacy policies.

Data Storage

All game state is stored in your browser's localStorage on your device. The service worker caches game assets locally to enable offline play. Nothing is uploaded to any server controlled by the developer.

Data Management

You can remove all locally stored game data at any time through your browser's site-data settings (typically under Settings → Privacy → Clear site data for the game's domain). If you have installed the game as a PWA, uninstalling it or clearing browser storage removes everything.

Data Sharing

We do not share any information with anyone, at any time.
