Privacy Policy — City Names: Word Chain Game
Last updated: September 1, 2026
WOOPSS (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use City Names: Word Chain Game and its related editions (collectively, the “App”).
This Privacy Policy applies to the App on both Android and iOS, including full, paid, free, and Lite versions where available.
1. Information We Collect
The App does not require you to create an account or provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address in order to play.
The App may store gameplay-related information locally on your device, including:
- game settings and preferences;
- scores and gameplay progress;
- cities added to your personal dictionary;
- other information required to provide and maintain App functionality.
This information is primarily stored locally on your device and is not used by us to personally identify you.
2. Full and Lite Versions
The App may be distributed in different editions, including full and Lite versions. Features and monetization may differ between these editions and between Android and iOS.
Some versions, particularly free or Lite editions, may contain advertising. Other versions may be provided without advertising.
Sections of this Privacy Policy related to advertising apply only when advertising services are included in the version of the App that you are using.
3. Advertising
Some versions of the App may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising services, such as Google Mobile Ads (Google AdMob) or other advertising providers.
Depending on the advertising provider, device, operating system, region, privacy settings, and your consent choices, these services may process information such as:
- device and advertising identifiers;
- IP address;
- approximate location derived from technical information such as an IP address;
- device model and operating system information;
- App interactions and advertising interactions;
- diagnostic and performance information.
Advertising providers may use this information to deliver, measure, limit, and improve advertisements, prevent fraud, and provide related advertising services in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Where required by applicable law or platform rules, you may be provided with options regarding personalized advertising, tracking, or consent.

4. Platform Privacy Controls
Android and iOS provide their own privacy controls that may affect how applications and third-party services access or process certain information.
Depending on your platform and App version, you may be able to manage advertising preferences, tracking permissions, application permissions, and other privacy settings through your device settings.
On platforms where permission is required for certain types of tracking or advertising access, you may choose whether to grant that permission. Refusing optional advertising or tracking permissions does not prevent you from using the core gameplay features of the App.
5. Analytics, Diagnostics and Technical Information
The App, the operating system, application stores, or third-party services integrated into certain versions of the App may process limited technical and diagnostic information.
This may include information such as:
- device type and model;
- operating system version;
- App version;
- crash and error information;
- performance and diagnostic data.
This information may be used to maintain App functionality, investigate technical problems, improve performance and stability, and prevent abuse or fraud.
6. Personal Dictionary and Game Data
The App allows you to create or modify a personal city dictionary and may store other gameplay information and preferences.
This information is intended to remain locally on your device unless a particular operating system feature or service that you use independently performs a backup or transfer.
Uninstalling the App, clearing its data, resetting your device, or disabling certain backup features may permanently remove locally stored information.
7. External Websites and Services
The App may allow you to open information about cities or other content through external websites and services, such as Wikipedia, using a web browser or another application installed on your device.
Once you leave the App, your interaction with that website, application, or service is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party websites and services.
8. Sharing
The App may provide functionality that allows you to share content or information using the standard sharing features provided by Android, iOS, or other applications installed on your device.
Sharing is initiated by you. When you choose a third-party application or service through the system sharing interface, information sent to that service is handled according to its own privacy practices.
9. Children’s Privacy
City Names: Word Chain Game is a general-audience word and geography game that may also be enjoyed by younger users.
The App does not require users to create an account or directly provide us with personal information in order to play.
Where advertising or other third-party services are available in a particular version of the App, their processing of information is subject to their own policies, applicable laws, platform requirements, regional restrictions, and consent settings.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to review the privacy, advertising, tracking, and parental control settings available on the device used by their child.
10. Data Retention
Information stored locally by the App generally remains on your device until it is removed by you, removed by the operating system, deleted when application data is cleared, or deleted when the App is uninstalled.
Information processed independently by third-party providers may be retained according to their own privacy policies, legal obligations, and retention practices.
11. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to minimize unnecessary collection of information and to use established platform and third-party services where they are required for App functionality.
However, no electronic storage, application, network, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12. Your Choices
Depending on your device, operating system, region, and App version, you may be able to manage privacy-related options through Android, iOS, Google, Apple, or application-specific settings.
These options may include:
- advertising personalization preferences;
- tracking permissions;
- application permissions;
- device privacy settings;
- removal of locally stored App data.
You may remove locally stored information by clearing the App’s data where supported or by uninstalling the App.
13. App Stores and Platform Providers
The App may be downloaded through third-party distribution platforms such as Google Play and the Apple App Store.
Google and Apple may independently process information related to downloads, purchases, subscriptions, device accounts, diagnostics, and use of their platforms. Such processing is governed by their respective privacy policies and is outside our direct control.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, supported platforms, App versions, third-party services, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.
When this Privacy Policy is updated, the “Last updated” date shown at the top of this page will be changed accordingly.
