Foodle Words may use cookies and similar browser technologies to support essential website operations, remember preferences, maintain website functionality, and measure performance where such features are enabled.

Essential cookies may be used when needed for security or core website functions. Preference-related cookies or similar storage technologies may remember choices that improve your experience. Third-party cookies may be present where an external service is integrated into the website, but only as applicable to the services actually configured.

We do not claim that advertising, analytics, or behavioral tracking services are active unless they are configured and disclosed. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Foodle Words may handle basic game-related information needed to provide puzzle functionality. Depending on the features implemented, this may include puzzle progress, game preferences, winning streak information, game settings, and other locally stored gameplay information.

Some game information may be stored locally in your browser using technologies such as localStorage. Locally stored information can remain on your device until it is removed through your browser settings, cleared by website functionality where available, or otherwise deleted from the device.

Local browser storage is associated with the browser and device you use. Foodle Words does not claim to maintain a centralized player account database unless account functionality is introduced and separately disclosed.

Foodle Words does not sell visitors’ personal information. Information may be shared only in limited circumstances when reasonably necessary to operate the website, provide requested support, maintain security, or comply with law.

Where applicable, limited information may be available to website hosting providers, website maintenance and security services, contact form service providers, or other technical service providers. These providers should access only the information necessary to perform their services and should handle it in accordance with appropriate contractual or legal obligations.

Information may also be disclosed to courts, regulators, law enforcement agencies, or other legal authorities when required by applicable law, a valid legal process, or a lawful request.

Foodle Words may contain links to external websites or services that are operated independently. External websites have their own privacy policies, terms, and data-handling practices.

Foodle Words does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. Visitors should review the relevant third party’s privacy policy before submitting personal information or using its services.

Personal information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. This may include the time needed to respond to contact enquiries, maintain support communications, review technical records, address security concerns, and satisfy applicable legal or recordkeeping requirements.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, operational requirements, and applicable law. Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with appropriate retention practices.

Foodle Words uses reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to help protect information against unauthorized access, accidental loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. The measures used may vary depending on the nature of the information and the systems involved.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While reasonable steps are taken to protect information, absolute security cannot be promised.

Foodle Words is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable age of digital consent. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise children’s internet use and to help them avoid submitting personal information without appropriate permission.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information to Foodle Words, they may contact us at support@foodlewords.com. We may take appropriate steps to review and remove the information where legally required.

Website hosting or technical service providers may process information in locations that are different from the country in which a visitor lives. As a result, information may be subject to the laws of another jurisdiction.
