Privacy policy

Last updated: 28 October 2026

This policy covers the Pebblewit website (pebblewit.com), the games you play on it, and the Pebblewit apps, including Wordfellows for iPhone and Android. It explains what data is used and why.

What stays on your device

Your game progress (levels solved, stars, daily results and streaks), your hint balance and your settings are stored on your device: in your browser's local storage on the website, or in the app's storage on your phone. We do not run accounts and we do not collect your name, email address or contacts. If you clear your browser's site data or delete the app, this progress is removed.

Advertising on the website

The website and its games show ads provided by Google AdSense.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
• In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, you are asked for consent through Google's consent message before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time.

To show and measure ads, Google and its partners may process your IP address, approximate location, device and browser information, and how you interact with ads. Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Advertising in the apps

The free versions of our apps show ads between levels, provided by Google AdMob and its mediation partners. These providers may collect your device's advertising identifier, IP address, approximate location, device information and how you interact with ads.

• iPhone and iPad: the app asks for permission before your advertising identifier can be used for tracking. You can change this at any time in Settings, Privacy & Security, Tracking.
• Europe, the UK and some US states: you are asked for consent through Google's consent form when the law requires it. You can reset your choice by reinstalling the app.

Purchases in the apps

If you buy "Remove ads forever", the purchase is processed by Apple or Google. We use RevenueCat to confirm the purchase and restore it on your devices. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and the purchase receipt, not your payment details.

Reminders and ratings in the apps

If you turn on the daily reminder, your phone schedules a local notification and nothing is sent to us. The app may ask the App Store or Google Play to show its standard rating prompt; any rating you leave goes to the store.

Our games on other websites

Some of our games are also published on game portals. When you play there, the portal shows its own ads and its own privacy policy applies.

Hosting

The website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.

Children

Our games are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Questions or requests: hello@pebblewit.com.
