Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Scrabble Solva ("we", "us", "our") operates the website scrabblesolva.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our free Scrabble word finder and board solver tool.

We believe in minimal data collection. Our tool is designed to work entirely in your browser — we don't require accounts, logins, or any personal information to use.

2. Information We Collect

We collect very little data. Specifically:

• No personal data. We do not ask for your name, email, or any identifying information. We don't have accounts or profiles.
• Browser data. When you visit our site, your browser automatically sends standard technical information (IP address, browser type, screen size, referring page). This is inherent to how the internet works and is not unique to us.
• No board or rack data stored. Your Scrabble board state and tile rack are processed entirely in your browser. They are not sent to or stored on our servers.

3. Cookies

Our site may set or use the following cookies:

• Essential cookies: Any cookies needed for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your board state or preferences between visits).
• Third-party advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense and DoubleClick to display advertisements. These services may set cookies to serve relevant ads. You can manage ad personalisation settings at Google Ads Settings.
• Analytics cookies: If we implement Google Analytics, it uses cookies to collect anonymous, aggregate data about site usage. See the Analytics section below.

Most browsers let you control or disable cookies in their settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site features.

4. Analytics

If we use analytics (such as Google Analytics), it is configured to collect only anonymous, aggregate data — things like page views, time on site, and general geographic regions. We do not track individual users or link analytics data to any person.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Third-Party Services

Our site uses the following third-party services:

• Google AdSense / DoubleClick: Displays advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare CDN: We use Cloudflare for content delivery and security. Cloudflare may process your IP address for bot detection and performance. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to read their policies.

6. Data Sharing & Selling

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties. Since we don't collect personal information in the first place, there's nothing to sell or share.

7. Data Retention

We don't maintain databases of user information. Any anonymous analytics data retained by Google Analytics is subject to Google's own retention policies.

8. Your Rights

Even though we collect minimal data, you still have rights:

• Access: You can request a copy of any data we hold about you (which, in practice, is likely nothing beyond standard server logs).
• Deletion: You can request that we delete any data we hold. Contact us at the email below.
• Opt-out: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking and ad personalisation using the tools linked above.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
