1. Introduction
Welcome to High 5 Words ("we", "our", or "us"). We are dedicated to respecting and protecting the privacy of our players. This Privacy Policy outlines how your information is handled when you play High 5 Words on mobile devices.
High 5 Words is designed as a fun, family-friendly word guessing and crossword puzzle game. We do not collect, store, or share any personal identity information on our servers.
2. Data We Collect & Local Storage
High 5 Words does not require account creation, registration, or login. We do not collect personal data such as your name, phone number, physical address, or contact list.
Local Progress Storage: All game data—including completed levels, unlocked categories, gem count, hints used, and audio preferences—is stored locally on your device using encrypted native storage (AsyncStorage). This data stays entirely on your device.
3. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)
High 5 Words uses Google AdMob (provided by Google LLC) to display advertisements (banner ads, interstitial ads, and voluntary rewarded video ads for extra gems or hint reveals).
AdMob may use pseudonymous device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID or IDFA) and non-personal technical data to serve non-personalized and contextual advertisements.
- Non-Personalized Ads: Our ad requests are configured to request non-personalized advertisements to protect user privacy.
- Rewarded Ads: Watching rewarded video ads is entirely optional. Rewards (such as 7 gems or letter reveals) are granted upon ad completion.
- Google Privacy Policy: For more details on how Google handles ad data, please visit Google Advertising & Privacy Policy.
4. Children's Privacy (Kids & Adults Modes)
High 5 Words features both Kids Mode and Adults Mode to ensure age-appropriate trivia content and gameplay.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate steps.
5. Data Control & Reset Options
Since all gameplay progress is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your data:
- Resetting Progress: You can clear your local progress and gems at any time within the in-app Settings menu.
- App Data Removal: Uninstalling the application will automatically remove all locally saved progress and game data from your device.
6. Security
We prioritize the security of your local data. Since we do not transmit or store personal information on external servers, the risk of online data breaches is minimized.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date".
