Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Our Privacy Commitment

Quiz Rebel (quizrebel.com) operates under a “Zero Friction” philosophy — free tools, no sign-ups, no barriers, and no data collection beyond what is technically necessary. We provide free word game tools including a Word Unscrambler, Wordle Helper, Anagram Solver, and Scrabble Dictionary.

This Privacy Policy explains what limited data we do collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data under applicable law including GDPR (European Union) and CCPA/CPRA (California, USA).

2. The Data We Do NOT Collect

To be unambiguous, Quiz Rebel does not collect the following:

• Letters, words, or search queries you enter into our tools.
• Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information — we have no registration or account system.
• Game results, word scores, or Scrabble / Wordle session data.
• Payment information of any kind (all tools are free).
• Location data beyond country-level approximation from IP address.
