WordBlaze
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 November 2026
WordBlaze collects only what it needs to run the game and keep your chat’s leaderboard. It does not sell data, show ads, or track you outside the game.
1. What we collect
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
Your Discord user ID, display name and avatar (via Discord’s identify permission) | To sign you in and show your name and picture to other players | Kept with your stats (see below) |
| The ID of the chat or channel you play in | So each group chat or server has its own leaderboard | Kept with your stats |
| Game data: words you guess, results, points, streaks, races played and won, guess distribution | To run the game, the leaderboards and the live feed | Stats are kept until deleted. Weekly points are kept for about 12 weeks. A list of recently used answers is kept so you don’t get repeats. |
| Your guesses and their timing in recent races (the last five races in each chat) | So the operator can make a short replay video of a race, for example to share on social media. Names and pictures are hidden in these videos unless the operator chooses to show them. | Replaced as new races are played |
The servers you are in (names only), via Discord’s guilds permission | Only the server where you’re playing is used, to label games in the operator’s usage overview | The current server’s name is kept with that chat’s stats; the rest is never stored |
| Which WordBlaze Store items you own (Discord “entitlements”) | To unlock what you bought and show your Supporter star | Kept with your profile (owned / not owned only) |
| Basic usage counts (how many people and games per day) | So the operator can see how the game is used | About 90 days |
| Discord access tokens and command tokens | To confirm who you are, and to post results in your chat | Held in memory only, never written to disk. Expire within about 15 minutes. |
We do not collect your email address, messages, friends list, voice or video, payment or card details (Discord handles payments), or anything from other chats.
2. Who can see it
- Other players in the same chat or server can see your name, avatar, scores, streaks, live race progress (colours only, never your letters) and leaderboard position.
- Chat messages: WordBlaze may post results that include your name in the chat where you played.
- Service providers: Discord, which runs the platform and provides your sign-in, and our hosting and network providers, such as Cloudflare. They handle data only to deliver the service.
We never sell or rent your data, and never share it with advertisers.
3. Where it’s stored
Game data is stored on the WordBlaze server operated by the developer. We take reasonable steps to protect it, but no online service can be guaranteed 100% secure.
4. Cookies
WordBlaze doesn’t use tracking cookies. Your device may store one small preference: whether you turned on high-contrast colours.
5. Your choices and rights
- Stop playing at any time. You can also remove WordBlaze from your account under Discord under User Settings, then Authorized Apps.
- Get a copy of your data or have it deleted: contact the WordBlaze operator, via the contact details on the app’s Discord profile with your Discord username, and we’ll respond within 30 days.
- Depending on where you live (for example under the UK or EU GDPR), you may have further rights, such as correcting your data or objecting to how it’s used, and you can complain to your local data protection authority. In the UK, that is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
We process this data because it’s needed to provide the game you chose to play (performance of a contract) and for our legitimate interest in running fair leaderboards.
6. Children
WordBlaze is intended for people who meet Discord’s minimum age. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone younger.
7. Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page.
