1. Information We Collect

A. Account & Game Progress Data

When you play online modes, we use Supabase to store an anonymous authentication ID or account token that lets us save your game state, level progress, achievements, and any leaderboard or multiplayer statistics associated with that ID.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Data

We and our service providers automatically collect certain technical data when you use the app, including device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, IP address, and general app usage metrics.

C. Advertising Identifiers

We use advertising identifiers such as the Google Advertising ID (GAID) or Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) to serve ads and to limit how many times you see the same ad.

D. Notifications

Word Paths uses local, on-device notifications for gameplay reminders, daily puzzles, and streak alerts. These notifications are generated entirely on your device. We do not use push notification servers and we do not access your contacts or personal messaging accounts for this purpose.
