Privacy Policy

Introduction

JumbleSolver.com (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the website at jumblesolver.com. This privacy policy explains what information we collect about you, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what choices you have. By using the site you agree to the terms below.

We are not a healthcare provider, financial institution, or any other regulated entity — we're an independent reference site for the Daily Jumble word puzzle. We collect the minimum we need to keep the site running and improving.

Information we collect

We collect two categories of data:

Information you give us directly

If you email us (at [email protected] or any other published address), we receive whatever you put in that message — your email address, your name if you include it, and the contents. We use that information only to respond to you.

Information collected automatically

When you visit any page on JumbleSolver.com, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools automatically receive:

• Standard request data — your IP address, browser user-agent, the page you visited, the referring URL, and the date and time of the request.
• Approximate location — derived from your IP address (country and region, not a precise location).
• Device and browser characteristics — screen size, operating system, browser type, language.
• Behavioral data — which pages you viewed, how long you stayed, what you clicked.

We do not ask for, store, or attempt to derive: your name (unless you give it to us), your phone number, your home address, your financial information, or any government identifier.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, local storage, and similar browser technologies for three purposes:

1. Essential operation — to remember your session, language preference, and any UI state (e.g. which length the Jumble Solver is set to).
2. Analytics — to count visitors, identify popular pages, and detect performance problems.
3. Advertising — our ad partner uses cookies to measure ad performance and, where you've consented, to show ads relevant to your interests.

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site; blocking analytics or advertising cookies will not.

Advertising (Ezoic)

JumbleSolver.com displays advertising served by Ezoic. Ezoic is an industry-standard ad partner that operates the ad placements you see on each page. As part of serving ads, Ezoic and its sub-partners may set cookies and process information about your visit, including the data listed above plus an Ezoic-assigned identifier.

For full details — including the list of ad partners involved, the specific data each receives, and the legal bases used — see Ezoic's own privacy policy at ezoic.com/privacy-policy and their list of partners at ezoic.com/privacy/advertising-partners.

If you are located in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Ezoic will present a consent banner on your first visit, allowing you to accept or reject personalized advertising. Your consent choice is recorded by Ezoic and can be changed at any time from any page on the site.

How we use information

We use the information described above to:

• Serve our pages and run the Jumble Solver and archive.
• Understand which puzzles and features are most useful so we can improve them.
• Diagnose technical issues and prevent abuse.
• Display advertising that helps keep the site free.
• Respond to your support emails and corrections.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights with respect to your personal data.

If you are in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland (GDPR)

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port any personal data we hold about you, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time and to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].

If you are in California (CCPA / CPRA)

You have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (note: we do not sell personal information, but use of cross-context behavioral advertising is treated as “sharing” under California law), and be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise your CCPA rights, email [email protected]. You can opt out of personalized advertising via the consent banner shown on the site.

Children's privacy

JumbleSolver.com is a general-audience word puzzle site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please email [email protected] and we will delete it.

Data retention

Analytics and advertising data is retained by the providers listed above for the periods specified in their respective privacy policies (typically 14 months to 26 months). Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the conversation and any follow-ups, then deleted.

Third-party links

This site links to external sites — newspaper archives, Wikipedia, Tribune Content Agency, the official Daily Jumble apps, and others. Those sites have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for their practices.

Security

We host with reputable providers and serve all traffic over HTTPS. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps — encryption in transit, restricted admin access, no storage of payment or sensitive personal information — to protect data we hold.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time — for example, when we add a new analytics tool, change ad partners, or respond to new legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via a banner on the site for at least 14 days.
