PRIVACY POLICY
Your letters stay yours.
This policy explains what Get Unscrambler processes, what stays on your device, and how advertising and measurement services are handled.
AT A GLANCE
The short version
Solving stays local
Entered racks are matched against downloaded word-list files in your browser rather than submitted to Get Unscrambler for solving.
Progress stays on the device
Favorites, solve count, daily progress, streaks, and preference records may remain in that browser's local storage until cleared.
Google services are disclosed
Analytics and advertising technologies may process technical and engagement information under the choices and legal controls described below.
This summary is provided for readability. The numbered sections below contain the complete policy and control if the summary and detailed wording differ.
1. Information we process
Letter searches. The word solver runs in your browser. The letters you enter are checked against word-list files on your device and are not submitted to Get Unscrambler for solving.
Device-local data. Favorites, solve count, daily-puzzle progress, streak information, and cookie choices may be stored in your browser’s local storage. This information stays on that browser unless you clear it.
Basic technical records. Like most websites, our hosting and security providers may process limited request information such as IP address, browser type, requested page, timestamps, and error or security events. This helps deliver, protect, and troubleshoot the site.
Messages you send. If you contact us, we receive the information in your email and use it to respond, investigate issues, and maintain appropriate records.
2. How information is used
- Provide and maintain the word solver and editorial guides.
- Remember settings and progress on your device.
- Protect the site from abuse, fraud, and technical attacks.
- Respond to support, correction, and privacy requests.
- Understand site performance when optional measurement is enabled with an appropriate legal basis.
3. Cookies, analytics, and advertising
Get Unscrambler uses device-local storage for requested features and preference records. The site also loads Google Analytics for visit and engagement measurement and Google AdSense for advertising.
Google Analytics may process information such as visited pages, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser information, referral source, scroll activity, outbound clicks, and other interaction events. The letters entered into the solver are processed in the browser and are not intentionally sent to Google Analytics.
When the AdSense script loads, a visitor’s browser may automatically share information such as the page URL and IP address with Google. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver, limit, secure, and measure ads. Learn more about how Google uses information from partner sites and how Google uses advertising cookies.
Where consent is required, visitors may also be shown controls from a Google-certified consent management platform. Choices saved on the Cookie preferences page send corresponding Google Consent Mode signals on that browser, but do not replace Google’s legally required certified consent controls. Learn more about how Google uses information from partner sites. Google advertising choices can also be managed through My Ad Center.
4. Sharing and service providers
We do not sell the letters you enter or the favorites stored in your browser. Limited technical data may be processed by providers that host, secure, or operate the site, and by Google in connection with Analytics and AdSense as described above. If other advertising or analytics providers are added, this policy will be updated to identify the relevant processing.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect users or the service, investigate abuse, or respond to a valid legal process.
5. Retention and your choices
Device-local information remains until you clear site data or remove it through your browser. Contact messages and limited operational records are retained only as reasonably needed for support, security, legal compliance, and dispute resolution.
You can disable or clear browser storage in your browser settings. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection regarding personal information we control. Email contact@getunscrambler.online with “Privacy request” in the subject.
6. Children, security, and changes
Get Unscrambler is a general-audience word tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the solver.
We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet service can promise absolute security. We may update this policy as the site changes. A revised effective date will appear at the top of this page, and material changes will be highlighted when appropriate.
7. Questions about a specific data path
Where are my entered letters processed?
In the browser running the site. The lists load as assets, then letter counting, matching, and filtering happen on that device.
What happens when I clear site data?
Local favorites, daily progress, solve count, streak information, and the preference record on that browser may be removed. Get Unscrambler cannot restore locally deleted data.
Does disabling optional consent remove all technical records?
No. Hosting and security services may still process limited request information needed to deliver and protect the site. Optional analytics and advertising choices concern the storage and processing described in section 3.
