About the game

Word Garden (词语花园 / 詞語花園) is a Chinese word grouping and association puzzle game for iOS and iPadOS. This policy applies to application com.xuzengfei.wordgarden, provided by 余芳 伍. It has no account, chat, in-app purchases, or developer-operated analytics or cloud-save service.

Information stored on your device

Puzzle progress, unfinished board state, flower garden arrangement, language and sound preferences are stored locally on your device. We do not receive these records on a developer server. You can remove local data through your device's app-data controls or by uninstalling the game, subject to any device backup or restore features.

Advertising and third-party data

The game offers a rewarded ad only when you choose to request a hint. The hint shows one answer group after the reward is earned; the game remains playable if an ad is unavailable or you decline to watch. Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) may process technical identifiers, IP-derived approximate location, app and ad interactions, advertising information, crash and performance diagnostics, and consent choices. These may be used to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, and operate the service. Google and its advertising partners may receive this data. Even an ad that is not personalized can involve such processing. We do not add a separate developer analytics SDK.

Advertising identifiers and choices

Where applicable, UMP asks for consent before ads are requested. The game may then ask for Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission. If you decline tracking, the game does not use IDFA for personalized advertising; ads that are otherwise permitted use a non-personalized configuration. Google may still process other app-scoped technical identifiers. You can change Apple's tracking permission in iOS Settings. When Google's privacy choices are required for your region, open Settings → Advertising privacy in the game to review or change them. The privacy policy link stays available in game settings.

Permissions and other services

The game needs internet access to request an ad and check whether an ad is available. It does not ask for camera, microphone, contacts, photos or precise location. The game has no developer-run account or online multiplayer service.

Retention, rights and children

Google determines how long it keeps data it processes under its own privacy policy. Depending on your location, you may be able to request access, correction or deletion, object to processing, or withdraw consent. Contact us about data controlled by the game developer; requests about Google-controlled information may also require contacting Google. The game is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not designed for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us. We will update this page and its date if practices change.
