Privacy Policy

Your privacy is paramount. This policy outlines how WordSearchZ handles your information.

LAST UPDATED: JANUARY 2026

1. Data Collection

WordSearchZ is designed as a privacy-first desktop application. We do not collect, store, or transmit your word lists, puzzle configurations, or exported creative content to our servers. Personal information is only collected when you voluntarily provide it during the purchase process.

2. Local Storage and Files

All application data is stored locally on your device to ensure maximum privacy and performance. This includes:

  • Word list presets stored in word_list.json.
  • Application preferences and color settings in word_search_settings.json.
  • High-resolution exports (PNG, SVG, PDF) which remain exclusively on your local storage.

3. Payment Security

Financial transactions are handled through Stripe. WordSearchZ does not store or have direct access to your credit card numbers or sensitive financial credentials. Your payment information is encrypted and managed according to Stripe’s industry-leading security standards.

4. Third-Party Services

Our website utilizes standard third-party services to enhance your experience:

  • Stripe: For secure payment processing.
  • Google Fonts: For delivering high-quality typography.
  • FontAwesome: For interface iconography.

5. Your Rights

Since your puzzle data is stored locally, you have total control over it. You may view, modify, or delete your word lists and settings at any time by managing the JSON files within your application directory.
