This information is used only to provide and improve the functionality of the App.

We do not use your searched words to personally identify you.

3. LOCAL STORAGE

WordHippo may store app preferences and saved words locally on your device.

This information remains on your device and is not intended to identify you personally.

You can remove locally stored information by removing saved Favorites, clearing the App's data, or uninstalling the App.

WordHippo may use third-party services to provide certain functionality, such as word information, analytics, crash reporting, or advertising.

These third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

WordHippo is a general vocabulary and educational application.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.

9. DATA RETENTION

Information stored locally by WordHippo, such as Favorites, recent searches, and appearance preferences, may remain on your device until you remove it, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App.
