Privacy policy

Last updated 2026-10-25

WordBlade is a word game made by Bold Games Studio Limited. This policy explains what the game and its server store, why, and how to delete it. The game has no ads, no analytics or tracking tools, and doesn't sell or share your data.

Playing without going online

Your campaign progress, coins, settings and reminders are saved on your phone. Reminders are scheduled on the phone itself. Nothing about this is sent anywhere unless you use the online features below.

Friend and guild alerts (Android, on unless you switch them off in Settings): while the game is closed, about every 30 minutes your phone asks our server whether anything new happened (friend requests, challenges, guild requests, invites and help). The request carries your account ID and sign-in key and the time of the last look; the server answers with short texts that your phone shows as one notification. Nothing else is sent, and no other company is involved (no Firebase or push service).

What the server stores when you play online

The game connects to our server for duels, friends, guilds, the inbox, word definitions, cloud saves, the Season Pass and the coin wallet. When it does, the server stores:

• An anonymous account: a random ID and sign-in key made by the game (no email, phone number or real name is asked for), the player name you choose, your fighter, title and nameplate.
• Play results: ranking points, seasons, duel results (the letters, the words found, who won), daily duel counts, Word Guess results, and gifts claimed from the inbox.
• Friends: your friend code, the friend requests you send and receive (kept for 14 days, or until answered) and your friends.
• Guilds: the guild you're in and your role, its name, crest and description (written by its leader), the guild points you earn each week, the preset messages and emoji reactions you post on its board, requests to join and invites (kept for 3 days), and requests for help with who helped.
• Season Pass and Piggy Bank: the pass points you earn each season, which rewards you've collected, and how many coins are in your piggy bank.
• Word Guess puzzles you make: the word, your clue, and who played them with their results (shown to you). Word reports: words you report or suggest, with where they came up.
• Blocks and reports: players you block, and reports you send about another player (the reason, and the duel if you report from one). We read reports to deal with offensive names, cheating and abuse.
• Cloud save: a copy of your game progress, so you can restore it or move it to a new phone with a transfer code.
• Google or Facebook sign-in (only if you link one in Settings): the ID that Google or Facebook gives our app for your login, so you can restore your account on a new phone. We don't ask for or store your name, email address, picture or friends from them. Unlinking or deleting your account removes it.
• Coin wallet: your in-game coin and item balances and a log of rewards and purchases, so they can't be edited on the device.
• Purchases: when you buy something through Google Play (for example the Supporter Pack, a coin pack, the Season Pass, the Starter Bundle or the Piggy Bank), the product, Google's order number and purchase token, the time, and what it gave your account. We check each purchase with Google before granting it, and use the record to restore your items and to handle refunds. Google Play handles the payment itself: we never see your card or payment details. If you delete your account, the purchase records are kept without any link to you, so a refund can still be matched.
• Crash reports: when the game hits an error, it sends the error message, the app version, the screen you were on and your device's web browser version, so we can fix bugs. These are kept for 90 days.

Your IP address is used while you're connected to limit abuse (too many connections or messages) and isn't stored with your account. Our hosting provider may keep it in short-lived server logs. When you send an account deletion request from our website, the address it came from is stored with the request.

Who can see it

Other players see your player name, title, nameplate, fighter, ranking and league (on the leaderboard, in duels, races, guilds and friends lists), and your friend code where they can send you a friend request. Your friends also see whether you're online and your Word Guess result for the day. Members of your guild see your guild points, your board messages and reactions, and your help requests; anyone can see a guild's name, crest, description and size. Nothing else is shown to other players.

When you look up a word's meaning, the server asks Wiktionary for it; only the word is sent, not who asked. Our server runs with a hosting provider that stores the data for us and doesn't use it for anything else.

How long it's kept

Your online account is kept until you delete it. Reports are kept while we look into them, and are deleted with either account. Daily server backups are kept for 7 days, so deleted data leaves them within a week.

Deleting your data

In the game: Settings → Delete online account. Without the app: request deletion here. Progress on your phone is removed when you uninstall the game or use Settings → Reset progress.

Children

WordBlade isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date. Questions or requests: boldgamesstudio@gmail.com.
