Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 21, 2026
Welcome to Mino Word Search ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit minowordsearch.com (the "Site"). Please read it carefully.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
Mino Word Search does not require you to create an account or submit personal information to use our core features. When you use the Custom Word Search Generator, the words you enter are processed solely to generate your puzzle and are not stored on our servers.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect:
- Log data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL, and timestamps.
- Device information: device type, operating system, and screen resolution.
- Usage data: which puzzles you view, how long you stay on a page, and which features you use.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Remember your preferences (e.g., grid size, difficulty settings).
- Analyze traffic and improve the Site via analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Serve relevant advertisements through third-party ad networks.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality but will not prevent you from accessing puzzles.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and improve the Site and its features.
- Understand how visitors interact with our content.
- Detect and prevent technical issues, fraud, or abuse.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services that collect information independently, including:
- Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (Privacy Policy).
- Google AdSense — advertising (Privacy Policy).
- Cloudflare — CDN and security (Privacy Policy).
These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control their data practices.
5. Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for general audiences, including children using our educational puzzles under parental or teacher supervision. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at the address below and we will promptly delete it.
6. Data Retention
We retain automatically collected log data for up to 26 months for analytics purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Custom puzzle inputs are not stored and are discarded after your puzzle is generated.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you.
- Opt out of analytics tracking (use your browser's "Do Not Track" setting or a browser extension).
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for EEA/UK residents).
To exercise these rights, please contact us at the address below.
8. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
