Delete your Daily Word Search data

Daily Word Search: Word Puzzle  ·  Friendly IT Solutions Limited

This page explains how to delete your data from the Daily Word Search: Word Puzzle Android app by Friendly IT Solutions Limited. The game has no account, so most of your data lives only on your phone.

Option 1: Delete it in the app (instant)

  1. Open Daily Word Search and tap the settings (gear) button.
  2. Scroll to Delete my data and tap it.
  3. Confirm. Your data is deleted straight away.

Option 2: Ask us by email

  1. Email admin@friendlyit.co.nz with the subject "Daily Word Search data deletion".
  2. Tell us what you'd like deleted. You don't need to send personal details: we hold no account for you.
  3. We reply within 20 working days, explain what we've done, and help with data held by Google where we can.

Option 3: Uninstall

Uninstalling the app removes all game data stored on your phone.

What is deleted

  • On your phone: your progress, XP, level, stars, streaks, missions, unlocked looks, statistics and puzzles in progress.
  • Google Analytics for Firebase: the analytics data for your installation is cleared and its identifier is reset when you use Delete my data.
  • Any scores still waiting to be posted to Play Games leaderboards are discarded.

What is kept, and for how long

  • Your settings (sound, reminders, display options) and a Remove ads purchase stay on your phone, so you don't lose what you paid for. Uninstalling removes them; the purchase is restored from Google Play if you reinstall.
  • Google Play Games leaderboard scores already posted stay on Play Games. You can delete them, or your whole Play Games profile, in the Play Games app or at myaccount.google.com.
  • Analytics data already sent and not linked to the reset identifier is kept for up to 2 months, then deleted automatically.
  • Crash reports are kept by Firebase Crashlytics for up to 90 days, then deleted automatically.
  • Ad data is handled by Google under its own policies. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings.
  • Purchase records are kept by Google Play as required for tax and accounting.
