This page explains what information Voweluable collects, why, and what choices you have about it. Voweluable is a small, independently-run daily word game — this policy is written in plain language on purpose.
Voweluable is 100% free to play. There are no in-app purchases, subscriptions, or any real-money transactions anywhere in the game. "Vowel bucks" are a made-up, play-money budget used only to keep score — they have no cash value and can never be bought, sold, or redeemed for anything real.
What we collect
Email address — used only to sign you in (we use passwordless "magic link" sign-in) and to make sure each player gets one official attempt per day.
Display name — the name you choose, shown publicly on the daily leaderboard.
Gameplay data — your scores, words found, leftover balance, current and longest daily streaks, and the date of your last play. This is what powers the leaderboard, the champion banner, and your streak.
Basic technical data — standard web server logs from our hosting provider (e.g. IP address, browser type), used only for security and keeping the site running, not for tracking you individually.
We don't collect your real name, phone number, physical address, or any payment information — Voweluable is free and doesn't process payments.
What's public vs. private
Your display name and scores are shown publicly on the daily leaderboard — that's the point of the leaderboard. Your email address is never shown publicly anywhere on the site, including to other players.
How we use it
To sign you in and keep your session going
To show the daily leaderboard and yesterday's champion
To track and display your streak
To enforce one official attempt per player per day
We don't use your data for advertising, and we don't sell or rent it to anyone.
Where it's stored
Voweluable is built on Supabase (database and authentication) and hosted on Netlify. These are our only third-party service providers with access to your data, and they act strictly as infrastructure — they don't use your data for their own purposes. No other company or advertiser has access to your information.
Cookies and local storage
Voweluable uses your browser's local storage to keep you signed in between visits and to remember small pieces of session state (like a pending sign-in). It does not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.
Your choices
Sign out at any time using the sign-out link at the top of the page.
Request a copy or deletion of your data by emailing us (below) — since Voweluable is small, these requests are handled personally rather than through an automated system, so please allow a few days.
Children's privacy
Voweluable is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, please contact us and we'll remove it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Voweluable after a change means you accept the updated policy.
