Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 5, 2026. This policy explains what information Solitaire Associations: Words collects, how it is used, and what options users have regarding that data.

Information We Collect

We collect limited technical and gameplay-related information to keep the site functioning and to understand usage trends. We do not require account creation to play.

Information may include browser type, device type, pages visited, approximate location from IP, referral source, and basic interaction events such as page views or session duration.

Gameplay progress information may also be stored in your browser (for example, completed levels and best step counts) so your progress can persist on your device.

Cookies, Local Storage, and Analytics

We use browser storage technologies, including local storage, to save gameplay-related preferences and progress.

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and improve site quality. Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish users and sessions. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings and clear local storage at any time. Clearing storage may reset saved progress on your device.

How We Use Information

  • Operate and maintain the game and website infrastructure.
  • Measure performance, reliability, and engagement trends.
  • Detect abuse, errors, and security issues.
  • Improve game balance, usability, and content quality.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share limited data with the following categories of service providers:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics (Google LLC) to measure site traffic and usage patterns.
  • Hosting: Cloudflare to deliver site content reliably and securely.

These providers process data under their own privacy terms and applicable law. We may also disclose information when required to comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, or protect users and site integrity.
