Privacy Policy
HyperPolished ApS ("we") publishes games and apps for iOS, Android, and the web. This document describes what data those products handle. We aim to keep this short — because there isn't much to describe.
What we collect
Some of our games — currently our iOS game Hex — include GameAnalytics, a third-party analytics tool we use to understand how the game is played and how to improve it. Where it is enabled, it collects:
- A device-generated identifier (Apple's "identifier for vendor", which is specific to our own apps and resets when you delete the app) — not your name, email, or the cross-app advertising identifier (IDFA).
- Device and app information — device model, operating-system version, app version, language.
- Gameplay and session events — for example when a session starts and ends, and when a run ends, with the score.
- Approximate location — country only, derived from your IP address. We do not collect precise or GPS location.
We use this strictly as first-party product analytics — to see how the game performs and where to improve it. We do not use it for advertising, we serve no ads, we do no cross-app or cross-site tracking, and we never sell your data or share it with data brokers. We also do not collect your name, email, contacts, photos, microphone audio, or precise location, and there is no account system.
Our other apps that do not include an analytics tool continue to collect nothing.
What our games store on your device
To make the games work, the following stays on your device only:
- Game state (current board, score, settings) — stored locally so you can resume where you left off.
- Cached audio — music files we deliver from cdn.hyperpolished.com are cached on your device after first download so subsequent sessions don't need network access.
- Cached featured-video thumbnails — small preview images we deliver from api.hyperpolished.com, cached locally for the same reason.
None of this leaves the device.
Network requests we make
Our games connect to these hosts over HTTPS:
- cdn.hyperpolished.com — game assets (music, images).
- api.hyperpolished.com — a small JSON file listing curated featured videos, plus their preview thumbnails. Refreshed at app launch and at the start of a new game.
- GameAnalytics (api.gameanalytics.com) — where analytics is enabled, the device and gameplay data described above is sent here for analysis. This is the only traffic that carries a device identifier and usage data.
The HyperPolished asset requests (cdn / api) carry only the URL of the asset being fetched — no user identifier, no session token, no usage data. Standard access logs (IP address + user agent + URL + timestamp) are retained briefly by Cloudflare, who fronts those hostnames, for operational purposes; we do not extract, analyse, or correlate them.
Featured videos and outbound links
Our games may show a row of curated short-form videos hosted on TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat. Tapping a video tile leaves our app and opens the corresponding link in either the platform's native app (if installed) or your default browser. From that point forward you are interacting with the third-party platform's own service under their privacy policy, not ours. We pass no information about you with that link beyond the public URL itself.
The list of featured videos is editorial — we choose them — and is delivered as static JSON from api.hyperpolished.com. It is the same list for every player; it is not personalised, and your device is not identified to us when fetching it.
Third parties
The third parties involved are:
- GameAnalytics — our analytics provider, where analytics is enabled (currently iOS Hex). They process the device and gameplay data above on our behalf as a data processor.
- Cloudflare — our CDN/edge provider for both cdn.hyperpolished.com and api.hyperpolished.com. They handle asset delivery and apply standard logging.
- TikTok / YouTube / Snapchat — only when you choose to tap a featured-video tile, which navigates you to their platform. Each platform applies its own privacy policy from that moment onward.
We have no advertising partners and no marketing partners, and we run no ad networks in our apps.
Your choices and deleting your data
Because there is no account and the data we hold is not tied to your identity, you are mostly in direct control:
- Stop all collection: delete the app. Collection ends immediately, and the on-device game state is removed with it.
- Reset the analytics identifier: deleting and reinstalling the app issues a new identifier-for-vendor, unlinking you from prior analytics events.
To request deletion of the analytics data already associated with your device, email hi@hyperpolished.com from any address. We will submit a deletion request to our analytics processor and confirm back to you, normally within 30 days. Because there is no account and the identifier is device-generated and resets on reinstall, deleting and reinstalling the app is the fastest way to disassociate yourself; for any data already collected we will action the request with our processor on your behalf.
Children
Our games are rated 4+ and are general-audience — they are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Where analytics is enabled, the data collected is limited to the device, gameplay, and approximate-country information described above; we build no advertising profiles and serve no ads. The featured-video links described above lead to third-party platforms (TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat) whose minimum-age requirements differ from ours; following those links is the user's choice and falls under each platform's own terms.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change how data is handled — for example to add an opt-in feature that requires a server account — we will update this page and bump the effective date above. The current text always reflects the present state of our products.
