Privacy and browser storage

Updated: 10 November 2026

Wordplot does not require an account, real name or date of birth. This notice describes the current service, not a future advertising setup.

Rooms store nicknames, player identifiers, access tokens, submitted words, roles, votes, settings, scores and connection times. Optional room passwords are stored as salted hashes. Players in a room can see the shared text and nicknames; role visibility follows the game rules. Do not enter sensitive information. HTTPS protects transport; messages are processed by the server and are not end-to-end encrypted.

The browser stores your room code and player token in sessionStorage (wordplot-session) and audio choices in localStorage (wordplot-audio-v1). Session restoration may retain tab data. Audio choices remain until site data is cleared. Language is carried in the URL. We currently set no advertising or analytics cookies and load no advertising or analytics scripts.

Active room records expire after two hours without activity; requests extend this period. Persistence files and backups may retain copies longer. Server backups are kept for approximately seven days. Technical logs are limited by size. IP addresses are processed for network delivery; rate limits use a hashed IP key with a 60-second lifetime. Hosting, DNS and certificate services may process technical connection information.

You can clear site storage through your browser, which may remove access to your player session. Use a nickname and avoid sharing personal information, especially when playing with younger people. Contact is currently pending activation as explained on the contact page. Before advertising is enabled, this notice will be updated and any required consent system will be configured.
