Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
Effective date: 10 November 2025
This document explains how data, browser storage (localStorage), and cookies are used on Wyrazownik (wyrazownik.pl), as well as the terms governing the use of our online word games.
1. Data Controller and Contact
The administrator and data controller of Wyrazownik is Borys Skrobisz. For any questions regarding privacy, data protection, technical issues, or dictionary feedback, please contact: borysskrobisz14@gmail.com.
2. Scope of the Service
Wyrazownik is a free-to-play browser word puzzle platform offering Polish and English five-letter word games across seven distinct modes. Using the website does not require registration, user accounts, or submitting personal details. All gameplay progress and personal statistics are stored locally in your browser.
3. Essential Browser Storage (localStorage)
To preserve your settings, statistics, and active game boards across page reloads, Wyrazownik stores the following keys in your browser's localStorage:
| localStorage Key | Purpose and Stored Data | Retention Period |
|---|---|---|
wyrazownik_lang |
Stores your active language preference (pl or en). |
Until site data is cleared by the user. |
wyrazownik_theme |
Stores your visual theme preference (dark or light). |
Until site data is cleared by the user. |
wyrazownik_stats_db |
Saves local game statistics (games played, win percentage, current/max streak, and guess distribution 1–6) separately for Polish and English modes. | Until site data is cleared by the user. |
wyrazownik_save |
Saves the board state of an unfinished game in unlimited modes so you can resume after refreshing. | Removed automatically when the round finishes. |
wyrazownik_daily_pl / wyrazownik_daily_en |
Stores the state of today's Daily Challenge once at least one valid word has been submitted or the round ends. | Replaced when a new daily challenge is played on a subsequent date. |
wyrazownik_daily_played_YYYY-MM-DD |
Records whether the Daily Challenge has been started or completed on a given calendar date. | Expires automatically on the next calendar day. |
wyrazownik_cookie_consent |
Records your privacy preference for optional analytics and advertising scripts along with the policy version and timestamp. | Until updated in Cookie Settings or cleared in the browser. |
You can clear all stored items at any time via your browser's site-data settings; doing so resets your local statistics and preferences.
