Effective date
October 4, 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Salih F. Simsek handles information when you use Wend.
Information stored by Wend
Wend stores detailed puzzle progress, found words, hints used, elapsed times, completion statistics, app preferences, and advertising-scheduling state locally on your device. Wend does not require an account. Limited game usage and diagnostic information may be processed as described below.
Analytics and diagnostics
Wend uses PostHog to measure app launches and game usage through app-generated identifiers and event information. Session replay is disabled. Advertising services also process diagnostic and performance information to help identify technical issues and improve their services.
Advertising services
Wend uses Google Mobile Ads and Unity Ads through AdMob mediation to provide banner, rewarded, and interstitial ads. These services may process IP addresses, approximate location, device or advertising identifiers, app and device information, ad views and interactions, and diagnostic or performance information. Google, Unity, and their advertising partners use this information to deliver and measure ads, provide analytics, prevent fraud, and maintain security.
How ads are selected
Ad selection depends on your region, privacy choices, device settings, and ad availability. Google and Unity may provide personalized or contextual ads where permitted. Declining tracking or personalized advertising does not prevent you from playing or necessarily stop ads. Advertising services may still process information needed for contextual delivery, measurement, security, or fraud prevention, subject to applicable choices and requirements.
Consent and privacy choices
Where required, Google's consent message asks for your advertising choices before Wend requests ads. On iOS, Wend separately requests Apple's tracking permission; tracking requires that permission. Relevant advertising choices are communicated to the integrated advertising services, including Unity. When required, Settings displays Privacy choices so you can review your choices, including available options to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or targeted advertising. You may also change tracking permission in iOS Settings. Unity ads may provide additional choices through their Data Privacy icon.
Purchases
Wend uses RevenueCat to manage the Remove Ads purchase status. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. RevenueCat may process purchase identifiers, transaction status, app user identifiers generated by the purchase SDK, device and app information, diagnostics, and related entitlement data so Wend can unlock purchased access and restore purchases.
Rewarded hints and ad availability
The first hint in each puzzle is free. Unless Remove Ads is active, later hints are granted only after the ad SDK reports that a rewarded ad was completed. If an ad is unavailable, cannot legally be requested, fails, or is closed early, no hint is granted and ordinary gameplay remains available.
Retention and deletion
Wend keeps its local information until it is reset, removed through your device’s app-data controls, or deleted when you uninstall the app, subject to any device backup settings. Information processed by analytics, diagnostics, advertising, or purchase service providers is retained under their own policies. Wend does not control those retention periods.
Children
Wend is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. If you believe a child provided personal information through the app, contact us so the concern can be reviewed.
Security and changes
Wend relies on platform storage protections for local information and on its service providers for information they process. No storage or transmission method is completely secure. This policy may be updated when the app, its providers, or legal requirements change; the effective date will be revised when that happens.
