Word Search Fun: Large Print (more.funner.software.wordsearchfun)
Effective November 1, 2026

This policy explains what information Papa Bear Games LLC ("we", "us") collects when you play Word Search Fun: Large Print (the "Game"), how it is used, and the choices you have. If you have a question, email support@papabeargamesllc.com.

Information we collect

Papa Bear account (optional). You can play without an account. If you sign in, we collect your email address and a password. Your password is stored only as a one-way hash, so it is never visible to us. Your account is given a random user ID. If you choose Sign in with Google, Google tells us your Google account's email address and an ID for your Google account, and confirms the email is yours; we don't receive your Google password, name, photo or contacts. Your Word Search Fun account is its own: it is separate from any account you have in our other games.

Game statistics and rewards. If you have an account, we store the number of puzzles you have played and finished in each difficulty and game mode, your achievements, your gold and the themes you have, along with when your account was created and last updated, so they follow you to a new device. If you play without an account, these stay on your phone.

Leaderboard name. If you have an account, your number of puzzles solved appears on the Game's leaderboard next to a name. Until you choose a name, you are shown as "Player" and four numbers. If you choose a name, we store it and other players can see it on the leaderboard. Your email address is never shown to other players. You can change it at any time with "Change my name" on the leaderboard screen.

Friend challenges. If you have an account and tap "Challenge a friend", we store which puzzle or deal it was, your score and your leaderboard name under a short code, so a friend who opens your link can play the same one and see how you both did. When a friend answers, we store their score and leaderboard name with it. A challenge is erased 30 days after it was made. Sharing uses your phone's own share sheet: we never see who you send the link to.

Diagnostic logs. If you have an account, the Game may record technical events, such as errors during sign-in or saving, linked to your user ID. We use these only to find and fix problems.

Usage and crash information. The Game sends anonymous information about how it is used: when it is opened and closed and for how long, puzzles started, finished or left unfinished (with the game mode, difficulty and time taken), ads shown, crash and error reports, and the Game version. These are tied to a random ID the Game creates when it is first installed, not to your account, email or advertising ID, and are sent whether or not you are signed in. We use them to fix crashes and to see which parts of the Game players enjoy.

Advertising information. The Game shows ads served by Google AdMob. Through AdMob mediation, the ad networks AppLovin, Unity Ads, Liftoff Monetize, Mintegral and Pangle may also bid to show an ad. AdMob and these networks may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address (from which they may infer your approximate location, such as your city), information about ad interactions, and app performance and diagnostic information, to show, measure and limit ads, and to prevent fraud. Depending on your choices and location, ads may be personalized.

Remove ads purchase. You can buy "Remove ads" once, through Google Play or, on the Amazon Appstore copy, through Amazon. The store takes the payment: we never receive your card or payment details. The Game only keeps a note on your phone that you own Remove ads, and asks the store again when you tap Restore purchase or start the Game on a new phone. Gold is earned only by playing and can't be bought.

We do not collect your real name (unless you type it as your leaderboard name), contacts, photos, precise location, or payment information.

How we use information

We do not sell your personal information.

Service providers

We rely on the following providers, which process information on our behalf under their own privacy terms:

Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where these providers operate. Data is encrypted in transit.

Your choices

Retention

We keep your account information and game statistics for as long as your account exists. Diagnostic logs are deleted after 90 days. Friend challenges are erased 30 days after they are made. Usage and crash information is kept for up to 90 days; because it isn't linked to your account, deleting your account doesn't affect it. When you delete your account, it is disabled and you are signed out right away, and 30 days later your account, statistics, rewards, leaderboard name, the challenges you made and your answers to friends' challenges, and diagnostic logs are erased from our database for good. Signing in again during those 30 days cancels the deletion. Advertising data held by Google is kept according to Google's retention settings, which are limited in time and not linked to your email address.

Children

The Game is a general audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, email support@papabeargamesllc.com from the email address on your account.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the effective date above, and for significant changes we will notify you in the Game.
