Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

The short version: Lexitaire doesn't collect, store, or share any personal data about you. There's no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. Everything you play stays on your own device.

This policy covers Lexitaire on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV (developed by Marc Abramowitz). Lexitaire uses tiles reminiscent of SCRABBLE® but is otherwise unaffiliated with that game or its trademark holders — that's unrelated to how it handles your data, covered below.

Data we collect

None. Lexitaire has no user accounts, no sign-up, and no third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting software of any kind built in. We don't know who's playing, and we have no way to find out.

Data stored on your device

Your board, current game, top-10 scores, and settings (language, tile style, background, timer preference, and so on) are saved locally on your device using standard iOS/tvOS storage — never sent to us or anyone else, and never synced via iCloud. If you choose a custom photo for the board background, that photo is copied locally to the app's own storage, not uploaded anywhere. Deleting the app deletes all of this.

Looking up a word

Tapping a played word to see its definition opens the relevant language's Wiktionary page inside the app. That request goes directly to Wiktionary (run by the Wikimedia Foundation), which has its own privacy practices separate from ours — we don't add any tracking of our own to that request.

Challenging a friend / sharing a result

Lexitaire lets you share a board, score, or result with someone else using the system share sheet (Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or whatever else you have installed). That share only includes what you chose to send — your board, your score, and, if you've set one, the display name you entered in Settings. We don't see who you send it to, and sending it doesn't tell us anything.

Opening a shared challenge or result link fetches a small preview page from lexitaire.marc-abramowitz.com. That page has no database and sets no cookies — it only ever reads back the information already present in the link you were sent, purely to render the preview image and open the app.

Suggesting a translation

Settings includes a "Suggest a Translation" option. This opens your own Mail app with a pre-filled message addressed to the developer — you choose whether to review, edit, and send it. We only receive whatever information is in an email you actually choose to send us; we don't collect your email address any other way.

Children's privacy

Since Lexitaire doesn't collect data from anyone, it doesn't knowingly collect data from children either.

Changes to this policy

If Lexitaire's data practices ever change (for example, if a future update adds analytics or advertising), we'll update this page first and note the change here.
