Backwords is a daily word game. There’s no account or sign-up, and it collects nothing that identifies you.
What the app uses and why
Your guesses. Each guess is sent to our server to be scored. It’s held only in the server’s memory for the current game, then discarded. Guesses aren’t saved or connected to you.
The spoken word. We use ElevenLabs to turn each day’s word into speech. Only the word itself is sent, never anything about you.
Sharing your result. If you share your result, the app uses your iPhone’s share sheet. We don’t see what you share or who you share it with.
Our server. Like any app that connects to the internet, Backwords shows our hosting provider your IP address and basic device information when it loads a game. The hosting provider keeps short-term logs to keep the service running.
Who handles it for us
- Render runs the game’s server.
- ElevenLabs creates the spoken audio for each day’s word.
- Airtable stores the schedule of daily words.
What we don’t do
- We don’t collect your name, email address or contacts.
- We don’t sell or share your information.
- We don’t show ads or use advertising or analytics tools.
- We don’t track you across other apps or websites.
Children
Backwords is suitable for all ages. It doesn’t ask for or collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes
If a future version adds an account, scores or anything else that collects information, we’ll update this policy and the date above before that version is released.
