Privacy policy
Last updated
[PLACEHOLDER]needs legal review
This is a working draft. It describes what we actually plan to do, but it hasn't been checked by a lawyer yet
and isn't final.
This policy covers hyperbit.dev and the games made by Hyperbit Studios ("Hyperbit", "we"), a Solagon company. It explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
Who we are
Hyperbit Studios, part of Solagon. [PLACEHOLDER: registered company name, address and company number.] You can reach us about anything in this policy at hello@hyperbit.dev.
This website
- Email sign-ups. If you ask to be told when a game launches, we store your email address, the game you signed up for and the time. We use it only to send that announcement. Each email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time.
- Spam protection. Sign-up forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check you're not a bot. Cloudflare processes some technical data (such as your IP address and browser details) to do this.
- Server logs. Our host, Cloudflare, keeps short-lived logs of requests (IP address, page, time) for security and to keep the site running.
- No tracking cookies. The site doesn't use advertising or analytics cookies. It stores one setting in your browser so the intro animation only plays once per visit.
Our games
[PLACEHOLDER: finalise when each game's SDKs are chosen.] What we expect to collect:
- A player ID created by the game, so your progress and purchases can be restored.
- Things you make and type. Words you summon, levels you publish and objects you create. Published levels and "first summoned by" credits show your player name to other players.
- Purchases. Handled by the App Store or Google Play. We receive a receipt, never your card details.
- Gameplay and crash data so we can fix bugs and balance levels.
- Ads. Some games offer optional rewarded ads. The ad provider may use a device advertising ID; you can limit this in your device settings. [PLACEHOLDER: name the ad network.]
Why we use it (legal basis)
We use your data to provide the game or service you asked for, because we have a legitimate interest in keeping things secure and working, or because you've agreed (for example, to marketing emails or personalised ads).
Who we share it with
Only the providers that run the service for us: Cloudflare (hosting, storage, spam protection), Apple and Google (app stores and purchases), and [PLACEHOLDER: email, analytics, crash-reporting and ad providers]. We don't sell your data.
How long we keep it
Launch sign-ups: until the announcement is sent, or until you unsubscribe. Game accounts: while the account is active, and deleted within 30 days of a deletion request. Logs: a few days.
Children
[PLACEHOLDER: set the age rating and the matching rules (COPPA, UK Age Appropriate Design Code) before launch.] We don't knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without a parent's consent.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Email hello@hyperbit.dev. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes
If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top, and tell players in the game for anything significant.
