Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Word War: Duel ("the app") is a word puzzle game developed by capVentures. This policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information We Collect

When you sign in with Apple, we receive and store:

Apple user identifier — a stable, opaque ID provided by Apple that lets us recognize you across sessions. We do not receive your Apple ID email address or password.
Email address — only if you choose to share it during Apple Sign-In. You may hide your real email and Apple will provide a private relay address instead.
Name — only if you choose to share it during Apple Sign-In, and only on first sign-in. You can edit or clear this later in your profile.
Username — optional, chosen by you for leaderboards and multiplayer.

We also store gameplay data tied to your account or an anonymous device ID:

Game statistics — games played, games won, current streak, best streak.
Daily guesses and outcomes — used to prevent replay of the daily puzzle and to track win/loss records.
War, battle, and team history — if you participate in multiplayer wars or teams, we store the results and participants of each battle.
Profile images — if you upload an image for your profile, war, or team, we store that image on our behalf with a cloud storage provider.
First-party usage events — basic in-app events (such as screens opened and features used) recorded on our own servers to help us understand how the game is used and improve it. These are not shared with any third party.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Word War: Duel does not collect or access:

Location data
Contacts
Camera or microphone
Your photo library, beyond an image you explicitly choose to upload
Health, fitness, or biometric data
Browsing history outside the app
Any data from third-party analytics SDKs
Any data for advertising networks

Word War: Duel does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services, and does not track you across apps or websites.

How We Use Your Information

Authenticate you and keep you signed in
Show your stats and progress across sessions
Match you against other players in wars
Display leaderboards and rankings
Prevent abuse (e.g., multi-account cheating on the daily puzzle)
Diagnose problems and improve the game

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers operated on our behalf. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. Authentication sessions are signed and stored in the device's secure keychain (iOS Keychain).

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Aggregated, non-identifying gameplay statistics may be used to improve the game.

Note that information you choose to make visible to other players — your username, profile image, and your scores within a war or team you join — is visible to the other participants in that war or team.

Your Choices

Delete your account — in the app, open Profile → Delete Account and confirm. Deletion is immediate and irreversible: we permanently remove your profile, username, photo, email, subscription link, and referral credits. Game results you shared with other players are kept in anonymized form (shown as “Deleted Player”) so their match history stays intact. If you cannot access the app, email support@wordwarduel.com for help.
Stop using Apple Sign-In — you can revoke the app's access from Settings → Apple ID → Password & Security → Apps Using Apple ID on your iOS device.
Clear local data — deleting the app removes all locally stored stats and tokens from the device.

Children's Privacy

Word War: Duel is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us at support@wordwarduel.com and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, when appropriate, notify users inside the app.
