Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how CrossLingo (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website and daily crossword puzzles (the “Service”).
Information You Provide
CrossLingo does not require you to create an account. If you contact us by email, we will receive the information you choose to share (for example: your email address, message content, and any attachments).
Information Stored on Your Device
CrossLingo stores your puzzle progress locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers by the site itself.
You can remove this data at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and security providers may process basic technical data when you access the Service (for example: IP address, browser type, device information, and request timestamps). This information is typically used for performance, reliability, and abuse prevention.
Advertising
We may display ads through Google AdSense and other third-party advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites.
You can opt out of personalized ads by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
You can also learn more about interest-based advertising and opt out of some uses by visiting AboutAds (availability varies by region).
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for:
- Site functionality and preferences
- Security and fraud prevention
- Ad delivery, measurement, and personalization
You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, parts of the Service may not function as expected.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers and partners who help run the Service (for example: hosting, security, and advertising), subject to their own privacy practices and contractual restrictions.
Data Retention
Your puzzle progress is stored only in your browser's localStorage until you clear it.
If you email us, we may retain your message for as long as necessary to respond and maintain records for legitimate business purposes.
Your Choices & Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of your personal information. You can also control cookies and ad personalization using the options described above.
Children’s Privacy
CrossLingo is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
