Welcome to UnscrambleCraft ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate unscramblecraft.com to provide fast word-solving tools, dictionaries, and game references for Scrabble, Words With Friends, and Wordle enthusiasts.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, in compliance with international privacy regulations including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European visitors and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for US visitors.

2. Information We Collect

We believe in data minimization. When you use our site, we may collect two types of data:

• Log Data & Analytics: Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard technical data sent by your browser. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and access timestamps.
• Cookies & Local Storage: We utilize standard browser cookies and local storage to remember your lexicon preferences (such as NWL vs. CSW dictionaries) and to optimize tool response speeds.

3. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics

To keep UnscrambleCraft completely free to use, we partner with third-party service providers:

• Google Analytics: We use analytics cookies to understand user interaction trends, allowing us to improve user layouts and speed.
• Advertising Partners: Third-party vendors, including Google AdSense, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
