Privacy

Last updated October 2026

Hooperly is a small game for your desktop and your browser. This page says what it does with your data, in plain words.

What stays on your computer

Your settings, score, achievements, chosen theme and license keys are stored on your own device: in the app's storage, or, in the browser version, in your browser's local storage. If you sign in (optional), your sign-in session is stored in your operating system keychain in the app, and in your browser's local storage in the browser version.

What goes over the internet

• License check. When you activate a license key, and now and then when the app starts, the key is sent through our server to Polar to confirm that it is valid. Your purchase email is checked during activation so the key stays with the buyer.
• Account and leaderboard, optional. If you sign in with Google, Hooperly stores a hashed version of your Google account id (so we can recognise you, but cannot read it back), a nickname that you choose, a lowercase copy of that nickname to keep names unique, your best score, best streak, shot count, goal count and weekly best score. We do not store your real name, email address or profile picture. Your nickname and score can be seen by other players on the leaderboard.
• Saved progress, optional. When you are signed in, your achievements and statistics, best score, look and sound settings and license keys are also saved on your account, so that they follow you between the browser version and the app, and between computers. Settings that belong to one computer, such as ball size and autostart, are not saved.
• Where it is kept. Account data is kept in a database on Cloudflare, who run our server. The sign-in itself is handled by Google.
• Links. Buttons such as Buy open your web browser on the Polar checkout or another site.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time: open Leaderboard in the menu and choose "Delete my data". That removes your nickname, scores and saved progress from our server. Your game on your own device is kept. You can also email hooperly.game@gmail.com and we will remove it for you.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by Polar, who acts as the seller (merchant of record). They collect your name, email and payment details and handle taxes. We receive your email address and order details so that we can give support. See Polar's privacy policy for how they handle your data.

This website

This website, and the browser version of the game, are hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may keep technical logs such as your IP address. We do not run analytics or advertising on it.
