Privacy Policy
Last updated: 19 April 2026
Unscramble Words Pro ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website unscramblewordspro.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. By using the site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our website, our servers and third-party analytics may automatically collect certain information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits.
Locally Stored Data: Our tool stores your preferences (such as theme settings), recent searches, and favourite words in your browser's local storage. This data remains entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
Geolocation (Approximate): We may use a third-party IP geolocation service (ipapi.co) to determine your approximate country for personalising dictionary settings (e.g., US TWL vs UK SOWPODS). No precise location data is collected or stored on our servers.
2. Cookies and Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
We do not use our own tracking cookies. All cookies on this site are set by third-party advertising and analytics services.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To operate and maintain the website
- To personalise your experience (e.g., regional dictionary selection)
- To display relevant advertisements via Google AdSense
- To analyse usage trends and improve our service
- To comply with legal obligations
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share anonymised, aggregate data with advertising partners (Google AdSense). Third-party services used on our site have their own privacy policies:
- Google Privacy Policy (AdSense, Analytics)
- ipapi.co Privacy Policy (Geolocation)
5. Data Retention
We do not store any personal data on our servers. Browser local storage data (preferences, recent searches, favourites) persists until you clear your browser data. Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights under data protection laws including the GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA (California, US), PIPEDA (Canada), and the Australian Privacy Act. These rights may include:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via our Contact page.
7. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
8. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including Content Security Policy headers, HTTPS encryption, and input sanitisation. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International Users
Our website is designed for users in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. By using this site from other regions, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information as described in this policy.
