Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

The operator and developer is Stanislav Belomestnyi, known on Google Play as vodenbik, based in Turkey. For privacy and support requests, contact dromomanic@gmail.com.

Information used

• On your device: language, audio preferences, selected background, word placement, unfinished matches and local progress, including game rewards. Playing against the computer does not require a Google account.
• Online profile: an internal player ID, chosen nickname and built-in avatar, match results and states, rating, experience, achievements, inventory, coins and transaction ledger. Installation and authentication identifiers are retained. Cloud saves also contain progress and preferences.
• Google Sign-In: Google supplies a token to verify sign-in. Its claims may include a name and email; these are not written to the game profile. The account is linked using a one-way identifier derived from your Google identifier. The sign-in token itself is not retained in the game profile. The app does not request access to Gmail messages, contacts or Google files.
• Purchases, when offered: product and transaction identifiers, the linked player ID, store, purchase and refund status. The game and its game server do not receive payment card details.
• Security and support: technical request and rate-limit information and event times; when you contact us, your email, message and any materials you choose to attach. Do not send secrets.

Why information is used

To run and recover matches, find opponents, maintain ratings, save progress and preferences, account for purchases and refunds, prevent duplicate rewards and abuse, and respond to requests.

Offline coins and the server balance are separate. Local records alone do not establish entitlement to server coins.

Processing supports the game and assistance you request, service protection and applicable legal obligations. Where particular processing requires consent, applicable consent requirements apply. Declining optional Google sign-in does not prevent offline play.

What other players see

Online matches and leaderboards show the chosen nickname, built-in avatar, rating and relevant match events. Hidden letters and protection are not shown in advance. Passwords, access keys and email addresses are not public profile information. Avoid personal information in your nickname.

Providers and transfers

• Google: sign-in and account verification; Google Play processes purchases and refunds when offered.
• Neon: hosts server game data. The database is currently located in Frankfurt, Germany. This does not mean all processing by all providers is confined to Germany.
• RevenueCat: purchase verification and accounting, purchase and refund notifications, purchase analytics and reporting. It uses the internal player ID and transaction history.
• Cloudflare: hosts this website and processes network requests to deliver and protect it.
• Email provider: delivers and stores messages sent to the support address.

Providers receive information needed for these functions and may process it in other countries under their terms and applicable data protection requirements. Information is not sold. The game has no added advertising SDK, advertising ID or behavioural advertising analytics.

Provider privacy policies: Google, Neon, RevenueCat, Cloudflare.

Protection and device data

Connections to game services are encrypted in transit. Android game session keys are protected using Android Keystore. Authorisation checks and purchase deduplication are applied. No storage method guarantees absolute security.

Local progress remains on your device. Uninstalling the app or clearing app data may erase it. Cloud saves are available for a linked online profile; they do not turn a local balance into verified purchases.

Retention and deletion

An active profile and cloud save are kept to operate the account. There is currently no automatic expiry for inactive accounts.

Deleting an online profile revokes access, removes the nickname, avatar, visible profile history and cloud save, and resets profile statistics. An unfinished online match may be forfeited or cancelled.

This does not erase all linked records. The current implementation retains the internal ID, one-way Google/installation identifiers, balance and ledger entries, purchases and refunds, some inventory, linked match states and history, and technical security records. These records have no automatic purge deadline. A one-way identifier does not mean all linked records are irreversibly anonymous.

Payment and anti-abuse records are retained only while needed for outstanding refunds, disputes, prevention of duplicate credits and applicable accounting obligations. On request, the operator manually assesses whether linked records remain necessary, can be deleted or de-identified, and explains retained categories and reasons. Unnecessary match history must not be treated as an accounting requirement. No single multi-year retention period is imposed on all data.

In-game deletion does not automatically erase Google Play or RevenueCat records or offline data on your device. For device data, use Android settings → Apps → Battle Word → Storage → Clear data. You may include a request concerning provider records in your message to the operator.

Requests and your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, object to processing or withdraw consent where these rights apply. Contact dromomanic@gmail.com. Depending on applicable law, you may also complain to a data protection authority.

We respond to and review requests within 30 days. If ownership verification needs more information or additional time is necessary, we explain why and provide the next timeframe in line with applicable law. An order reference does not guarantee that a guest profile can be identified. We do not request Google passwords, one-time codes, recovery keys, session keys or card details.
