Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Nerd Werds is a game for iPhone and iPad made by Bruce Van Horn, an independent developer ("we" and "us" below). This policy explains what information the game and this website use, and why.

Information we don't collect

The game doesn't ask for your name, email address, location, contacts, photos or any other personal information. It shows no ads, has no in-game advertising partners, and doesn't track you across other apps or websites.

Your progress stays on your device

Your levels, stars, scores and settings are saved on your iPhone or iPad. They aren't sent to us. Deleting the app deletes them.

Apple Game Center

Leaderboards and achievements in Nerd Werds use Apple Game Center. They're coming in an update; until then, the game doesn't connect to Game Center at all. Once they arrive, if you're signed in to Game Center, Apple shares your Game Center player identifier and nickname with the game, and the game sends your scores and achievements to Game Center so they can appear on leaderboards and be compared with other players. This information is handled by Apple under the Apple Privacy Policy; we don't store it anywhere else. You can stop using Game Center, or change what it shares, in your device's Settings under Game Center.

Technical information from the game engine

Nerd Werds is built with the Unity game engine. Unity may collect limited, anonymous technical information about your device, such as its model, operating system and screen size, to support and improve the engine. This information doesn't identify you. See the Unity Game Player and App User Privacy Policy for details.

If you contact us

If you email us for support, we use your email address and what you tell us only to answer you and to fix problems in the game. We don't share it or add you to any mailing list.

This website

This website doesn't use cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. Like most websites, the service that hosts it (Amazon Web Services) may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and browser types, for security and reliability.

Children

We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Apart from what Game Center shares, which Apple handles, the game collects no personal information.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the game or this website handles information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
