How to Play
Guess letters in the puzzle. Complete the puzzle before using up
your 10 guesses. When the puzzle is complete you get one star
for each unused guess.
The spinning circle
indicates the next unrevealed letter in the puzzle. If you
guess this letter, you save a guess (no guess is deducted),
and the guessed letter shows in
blue, instead of
green.
Privacy Policy
WordHuddle.com ("our website") wants to protect your personal
information and your right to privacy. Please read this
privacy policy and, if there are any terms you do
not agree with, please discontinue use of this website.
This privacy policy applies to all information collected through
our website, and/or related services, sales, or marketing.
1. INFORMATION AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED
As with any website, when you visit our website, we
automatically receive your IP address and your browser
and/or device characteristics. This also potentially
includes information about your operating system,
language preferences, referring URLs, country,
location, and information about how and when you use
our website. This information does not
identify you personally. It is used only for internal
analytics purposses. If we share the results of these
analyses with any third parties, it is in a
way that treats the data as aggregate statistics,
and not in a way that could be used to identify you
or any other user of our website.
If you provide personally identifying information to
us, such as by giving us your email address or
creating an account with your name, we will use such
information only in communicating with you and/or
managing your account. Such information will never
be shared with third parties, except as required
by law, such as when the information is subpoenaed.
2. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?
We use the data in aggregate to identify usage trends,
determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns,
and to evaluate and improve our website.
3. WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?
We only share information with your consent, to comply with
laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or
to fulfil business obligations.
We may process or share data for the following reasons:
Consent: We may analyze your data if you have given us specific
consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose.
Legitimate Interests: We may process your data, when it is
reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business
interests.
Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are
legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable
law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order,
or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a
subpoena.
Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where
we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take
action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected
fraud or other illegal activities, situations involving
potential threats to the safety of any person, or as evidence in
litigation in which we are involved.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when
you visit our website. These companies may use information
about your visits to our website and other websites that are
contained in web cookies and other tracking technologies like
hashed email addresses in order to provide advertisements about
goods and services of interest to you. You can also use the
Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page, the Digital
Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page, or the European Interactive
Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page to opt-out of the
use of cookies for interest-based advertising.
4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect
and store your information, such as your game history or
your game preferences.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web
beacons and pixels) to access or store information.
6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the
purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise
required by law.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your
information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or,
if this is not possible (for example, because your personal
information has been stored in backup archives), then we will
securely store your personal information and isolate it from any
further processing until deletion is possible.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
We take reasonable precautions to secure our servers, including
the servers on which we store your data. However, we cannot
guarantee that our servers are protected against all current or
future attacks or exploits. Although we will do our best to
protect your personal information, transmission of personal
information to and from our servers is at your own risk. To
increase security from your end, you should only access our
servers within a secure environment.
8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children
under 13 years of age except in an environment with adult
(including teacher) supervision. By using our website, you
represent that you are at least 13 or that you are the parent or
guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s
use of our website.
9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.
If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you
believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information,
you also have the right to complain to your local data
protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact
details here:

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile
applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting
you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have
data about your online browsing activities monitored and
collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and
implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not
currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism
that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked
online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we
must follow in the future, we will inform you about that
practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
11. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents

disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the

request, please submit your request in writing to us using the
