1. Scope

This policy explains how information is handled when you use Guess the Word on Android, contact support, or visit the app's official pages on rafaelrglima.com.

2. Information processed

The information processed depends on the app version and the features you use:

Gameplay information: questions, guesses, puzzle progress, settings, and similar events needed to provide the game experience.
Technical information: app version, device and operating-system details, language, approximate timestamps, and diagnostic or error information needed for reliability and security.
Store information: Google Play may process installation, purchase, subscription, and device information under Google's own terms and privacy policy. Guess the Word does not receive full payment-card details.
Support communications: your email address and any information you choose to include when contacting support.

Do not include private, confidential, or sensitive personal information in gameplay questions or support screenshots.

3. How information is used

Information is used only as reasonably necessary to:

Provide the game and generate responses to gameplay questions
Save or restore progress and preferences where the app supports it
Diagnose crashes, prevent abuse, and protect the service
Understand and improve product reliability and usability
Respond to support, privacy, and legal requests
Meet applicable legal and app-store obligations

4. Service providers

Guess the Word may rely on carefully selected providers for hosting, AI or language processing, app distribution, diagnostics, and email. These providers process information only to perform their services and are subject to their own security and privacy obligations.

Personal information is not sold. It is not shared for unrelated third-party advertising by Rafael Lima.

5. Retention

Gameplay and technical information is retained only for as long as needed to provide the app, maintain security and reliability, meet legal requirements, or resolve a request. Support emails may be kept while the issue is active and for a reasonable period afterward. Information that is stored only on your device remains there until you remove it, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app.

6. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, so users should avoid submitting information that is not needed for gameplay or support.

7. International processing

Service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where applicable, reasonable safeguards are used for international transfers.

8. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

To make a request, email contact@rafaelrglima.com with the subject Guess the Word privacy request. Information may be requested to verify that the request relates to you.

You can also remove locally stored app information by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it, subject to your device settings.

Guess the Word is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children below the minimum age required to consent to data processing in their country.
