The word-maze.com website is fully operated and hosted in Switzerland by Infomaniak.com.
We comply with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and – where applicable – the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to ensure the protection of your personal data.

2. Data collected
Website usage
No registration is required to use word-maze.com. We do not collect any personal data such as email addresses, names, or payment information.

This input is optional. The entered name and time are stored on our server to make the leaderboard permanently accessible. These entries are visible to all visitors of the corresponding puzzle.
We recommend not using real names or personally identifiable information.

When you visit our site, technical data necessary for the functioning of the website (such as IP address, browser type, time of access) is automatically recorded on our web server.
These server logs are deleted after a maximum of 30 days.
