Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to The Unscrambled ("we", "our", or "us"), accessible at https://theunscrambled.com. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy document describes the types of information that is collected and recorded by The Unscrambled and how we use it.

The Unscrambled is a free online lexical resource, word finder, and anagram solver designed to help puzzle and word game enthusiasts. We do not require account registration, login credentials, or personally identifiable information (such as your name, home address, or phone number) to search words and play games.

2. Log Files & Standard Web Requests

Like almost all standard websites, The Unscrambled follows a standard procedure of utilizing server log files. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and optionally the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of this information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement around the website, and gathering broad demographic information to optimize server performance and reliability.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

The Unscrambled uses "cookies" to enhance user experience. Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store information including visitors' preferences and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective official websites.

6. Third-Party Privacy Policies

The Unscrambled's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers and analytics providers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.

8. Children's Information (COPPA)

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

The Unscrambled does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
