Anagramus Privacy Policy
Effective date: 28 October 2026
Developer: Freebytes
In short
- Anagramus itself does not collect, store on a server, or share any of your personal data.
- Your searches, favourites, history, settings and game scores stay on your device.
- The app shows a banner ad from Unity Ads. Unity collects some device data to show and measure ads, as described below.
- You choose whether ads are personalised, and can change your choice at any time in the app.
1. Who we are
Anagramus is an Android app made by Freebytes, based in Wales, United Kingdom. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Freebytes. If you have any questions about this policy or your privacy, contact us at david@freebytesoftware.net.
2. Information that stays on your device
Anagramus works offline. Its word list and definitions are built into the app, so your searches are processed entirely on your phone. The app stores the following on your device only:
- Your settings (for example spelling preference, theme and ad choice)
- Favourite words and recent searches
- Game statistics, such as best scores and streaks
We never receive this information. If you use "Share to Anagramus" or select text and choose Anagramus, that text is also handled only on your device. You can clear your recent searches in the app, and uninstalling the app deletes all of this data.
If Android backup is turned on for your device, Android may include this app data in your device backup to your Google account. That backup is controlled by your device settings and Google's privacy policy, not by us.
3. Advertising (Unity Ads)
Anagramus is free and shows one banner advertisement provided by Unity Ads, a service of Unity Technologies. To show, measure and protect advertising, Unity may collect information from your device, including:
- Advertising ID and other device identifiers: used for showing and measuring ads, limiting how often you see the same ad, and (only if you allow it) personalising ads.
- Device information, such as model, operating system and language: used for showing ads that work on your device.
- IP address, which can indicate your approximate location: used for choosing relevant ads for your region and preventing fraud.
- Ad interactions, such as ads shown and tapped: used for measuring ad performance and preventing fraud.
Unity handles this information under its own privacy policy, the Unity Game Player and App User Privacy Policy: https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy
We do not receive personal information about you from Unity; we only see overall advertising statistics.
4. Your advertising choices
- Personalised or non-personalised ads. When you first open Anagramus we ask whether you allow personalised ads. Ads do not start until you choose. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Ads and privacy. If you choose non-personalised ads, ads are not based on your interests, although Unity still uses limited data to show ads and prevent fraud.
- Unity's privacy controls. Ads from Unity include a privacy icon where you can see and manage your choices with Unity, and request deletion of data Unity holds.
- Your device settings. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Settings (usually Privacy > Ads, or Google > Ads).
Where UK or EU data protection law applies, personalised advertising relies on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time as described above.
5. Permissions
Anagramus uses internet and network-state access only so that ads can load. It does not request access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos or files.
6. Children
Anagramus is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the ads in this app, please contact us and we will help you contact Unity to have it removed.
7. Your rights
Under UK and EU data protection law you have rights to access, correct, delete and object to the use of your personal data. Because Anagramus does not collect personal data on our own systems, we hold no data about you to provide or delete. For data collected by Unity Ads, use the privacy icon in the ad or the options in Unity's privacy policy. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (https://ico.org.uk) or your local data protection authority.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy, for example if the app gains new features. We will change the effective date above, and for significant changes we will let you know in the app.
