Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how BingWord (the "Service") handles information. The Service has no sign-up and does not ask you to enter any personal information such as your name, email or phone number.
1. Why we process information
- To run the game and keep the settings you choose (language, level, sound, theme)
- To count visitors and page views
- To keep the Service stable and secure (finding errors, blocking abusive traffic)
2. What we process
- Server access logs created automatically: IP address, time of access, requested page, browser information
- Visitor-count cookie (bw_vid): a random ID that cannot identify you. It is used to count the same browser only once a day. The Service does not store this ID together with your IP address.
- Settings cookies (lang, gameMode, sound, bgmTrack, keySound, chakra-ui-color-mode): your language, level, sound and theme choices
- Game history: results of the games you play in this visit. It is kept only in your browser (sessionStorage), is never sent to our server, and is cleared when you close the tab.
3. How long we keep it
- Visitor statistics are kept only as daily numbers (visitors and page views). The list of visitor IDs seen in a day is deleted when the date changes.
- Server access logs are kept only as long as needed for operation and security, and never longer than one year.
- Cookies stay in your browser for up to one year, and you can delete them at any time.
- Information past its retention period is deleted without delay in a way that cannot be recovered.
4. Sharing
- We do not share personal information with third parties or outsource its processing.
5. Third-party services
- Google Fonts: your browser connects directly to Google to load fonts, which may send your IP address to Google.
- Google Translate: the 'Meaning' button opens Google Translate in a new window, where Google's privacy policy applies.
6. Refusing cookies
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The game still works, but your settings will not be saved.
7. Your rights
- You may ask to access, correct, delete or stop the processing of your information at any time by contacting us below.
- Because the Service does not collect names or contact details, we may not be able to find information about a specific person. If so, we will let you know.
8. Security
- Visitor statistics are viewable only on a password-protected admin page.
- The Service does not store IP addresses together with visitor IDs and handles only the minimum information needed.
9. Contact
- Privacy officer: Jeong Moonsoo (정문수)
- Email: nullbyte@naver.com
10. Effective date
- This policy is effective from 2026-11-05. Changes will be posted on this page.
