Privacy Policy — Word Savant
Last updated: July 14, 2026
The short version
- Your game progress (level, coins, streak, completed puzzles) is stored on your device only. We never receive it.
- The App shows ads served by Google AdMob. Google may use your device's advertising identifier to personalise ads. You can opt out at any time in your device settings.
- You can permanently remove all ads with a one-time in-app purchase. After that, no ads are ever shown to you.
- We do not collect your name, email, location, contacts, microphone, camera, or photos.
- The only third parties that process data are Google AdMob (ads), RevenueCat (purchase verification), and Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports) — and only when those features are active.
- We collect a small amount of anonymous usage data to improve the app. It is never linked to you personally.
1. Who we are
Word Savant is a word search puzzle game developed and operated by KosmoGames Studios ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how the Word Savant mobile application (the "App") handles information.
If you have any questions, you can reach us at support@kosmogames.com.
2. Information the App processes
2.1 Information stored only on your device
The App stores the following information locally on your device using standard local storage. KosmoGames Studios does not receive, store, or have access to this information. Your device's operating system (iOS or Android) may include this data in its standard backup to your personal iCloud or Google Drive account, where only you can access it; KosmoGames Studios is not a party to those backups.
- Your puzzle progress, completed grids, and current level
- Your coin balance
- Your daily streak and last-played date
- Mid-puzzle state (so you can resume where you left off)
- App preferences such as language and sound settings
- Records of in-app purchases you have made (so the App knows you have removed ads)
This information is removed if you uninstall the App or clear the App's data through your device's settings.
2.2 Information we do not collect
The App does not collect, request, or transmit any of the following:
- Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other contact information
- User accounts, logins, or passwords (the App has no account system)
- Photos, contacts, calendar entries, or files from your device
- Location data of any kind (precise or approximate)
- Microphone audio or camera images
- Behavioral profiling data collected by us (note: Google AdMob may collect advertising data — see section 2.3)
2.3 Advertising — Google AdMob
The App is free to play and is supported by advertising served by Google AdMob, a service provided by Google LLC. Ads are shown at natural breaks (between completed puzzles) and as optional rewarded ads (you choose to watch one to earn coins or reveal a hint). Ads are never shown mid-puzzle or in a way that interrupts active gameplay.
To serve relevant ads, Google AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android) and other signals according to Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time:
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track", or limit ad tracking in Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising.
- Android: Settings → Google → Ads → "Delete advertising ID" (Android 12+) or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" (earlier versions).
Remove ads permanently: you can purchase "Remove Ads" once inside the App. After purchasing, no ads of any kind will ever be shown to you, and the advertising identifier will no longer be accessed for this App.
2.4 In-app purchases — RevenueCat
When you make an in-app purchase (remove-ads or coin pack), the transaction is processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) according to their own billing systems. We never see your payment details.
To verify that purchases were completed successfully and to restore them, the App uses RevenueCat as a purchase-receipt validation service. When you make a purchase, RevenueCat receives an anonymous user identifier generated on your device along with the transaction receipt from Apple or Google. This is used solely to deliver your purchase. RevenueCat does not receive your name, email, or payment details from the App.
2.5 Network usage
The App may connect to the internet to:
- Download additional puzzle packs as you progress (the first puzzles are bundled with the App so it works offline)
- Load and display ads (if you have not removed ads)
- Verify in-app purchases
Puzzle-pack download requests do not include personal information.
2.6 Anonymous usage statistics
To help us improve puzzle quality and the overall experience, the App sends a small set of anonymous product events to a server operated by KosmoGames Studios. This data is not shared with any third party and is used only for our own internal product decisions.
What we record:
- When a puzzle is started or completed, and the theme category
- When the store, hint panel, or settings screen is opened
- The app version, platform (iOS or Android), and a randomly-generated identifier that lives only in this app's storage on this device
What we never record in these events:
- Your name, email, or any personal contact information
- The device's advertising identifier (IDFA / Advertising ID)
- Location of any kind
- Words you type or search for
The random identifier is not linked to your Apple ID, Google account, or any identifier that could identify you outside the App. It is reset if you uninstall the App or clear its storage.
2.7 Crash reporting — Firebase Crashlytics
To find and fix crashes and stability problems, the App uses Firebase Crashlytics, a crash-reporting service provided by Google. When the App crashes or hits an unexpected error, Crashlytics sends Google a diagnostic report so we can fix the problem.
A crash report includes technical information such as:
- The error and its stack trace (which part of the code failed)
- Device model, operating-system version, and app version
- A randomly-generated, app-specific installation identifier (a Crashlytics install UUID)
Crash reports do not include your name, email, location, or the words you type or search for. Crashlytics is only active in the released App, and no crash data is collected from development builds.
3. How we use information
The information processed in connection with the App is used only to:
- Save your puzzle progress and resume where you left off
- Track your daily streak and coin balance
- Remember that you have purchased remove-ads so you are never shown ads again
- Show ads to support the free version of the App (unless you have removed ads)
- Understand, in aggregate and anonymously, how puzzles are played, so we can improve content and fix problems (section 2.6)
We do not use any information for profiling, scoring, or training machine learning models on personal data.
4. Third-party services
The App relies on the following third parties for the limited purposes described above. Each operates under its own privacy policy.
- Google AdMob — for displaying ads. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Apple App Store / Google Play Store — for in-app purchase processing. See Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.
- RevenueCat — for verifying and restoring in-app purchases. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
- Firebase Crashlytics (Google) — for crash and stability reporting (section 2.7). See Firebase's Privacy and Security information.
The App does not include social network SDKs or any third-party trackers beyond those listed above.
5. Data retention
Information stored on your device by the App remains there until you uninstall the App or clear its data. If you have enabled iCloud Backup or Google Auto-Backup, your operating system may keep a copy in your own cloud account. Purchase receipts are retained by Apple, Google, and RevenueCat according to their own policies. Data held by Google AdMob is subject to Google's retention policies.
Anonymous usage events (section 2.6) are stored by KosmoGames Studios for up to 24 months and then deleted or aggregated. Because these events contain no personal information, we cannot retrieve or delete events tied to a particular person.
6. Data security
Your game progress is stored on your device, protected by your device's own security (passcode, encrypted storage, app sandboxing). Communication with Apple, Google, and RevenueCat for purchase verification is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Ad requests to Google AdMob are also transmitted over HTTPS.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under privacy laws such as the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Quebec Law 25, the Brazilian LGPD, or other regional regimes. These typically include the right to:
- Know what information is being processed about you
- Request a copy of that information
- Request correction or deletion of that information
- Withdraw consent where applicable
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
Because Word Savant stores your game data only on your device, in most cases there is nothing for us to retrieve, correct, or delete on your behalf. To exercise rights over data on your device, simply uninstall the App or clear its storage in your device settings. For advertising data collected by Google, please refer to Google's data controls. For any other request, email us at support@kosmogames.com and we will respond within 30 days.
8. International users
Word Savant is available in multiple regions. The privacy practices described here apply regardless of where you use the App.
9. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to describe new features or reflect legal changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes took effect. If we make material changes, we will revise the App listing and provide reasonable notice. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
