Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 12, 2026
Welcome to SpawnHop. Your privacy is a critical component of our operational protocol. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by SpawnHop and how we use it.
1. Information We Collect
At SpawnHop, we prioritize your privacy and data security. We track anonymous gameplay statistics exclusively. This methodology involves monitoring play counts to identify popular titles and optimize our library performance for all users.
- Interaction Logs: No personal identity markers (names, addresses, or phone numbers) are attached to these logs.
- Anonymization: All data points are stripped of individual identifiers before being processed by our analytics engine.
2. Cookies and Tracking Protocol
Our platform utilizes cookies to preserve your individual preferences and interface settings. These small data fragments ensure a consistent and personalized arcade experience every time you "dock" with our portal.
- Local Storage: By storing your preferred visual themes, volume levels, and interface layouts locally, we minimize server load and provide a more responsive user experience across multiple sessions.
- Consent: We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure all third-party interactions honor your selected privacy preferences.
2.5. Analytics & Performance Monitoring
To maintain the stability of the SpawnHop matrix and ensure optimal load balancing across our gaming nodes, we utilize Google Analytics (GA4). This allows us to monitor data streams and user engagement without collecting personally identifying information.
- Data Collection: We track non-identifiable metrics including browser type, device architecture, session duration, and geographic region (limited to city-level resolution).
- Purpose: These metrics are analyzed to identify popular "sectors" of our library and to improve the technical performance of our Next.js architecture.
- Opt-Out: You may elect to "de-rez" your data from our tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This will prevent the GA4 JavaScript from sharing your visit information with the analytics engine.
3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on SpawnHop. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.
- Personalized Ads: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.
- Ad Network Transparency: For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
4. Your Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, delete, or limit the use of your data.
- GDPR: Users in the European Economic Area have specific rights regarding data portability and the "Right to be Forgotten."
- CCPA: California residents have the right to know what data is collected and request its deletion.
Since SpawnHop does not maintain user accounts or store Personal Identifying Information (PII), most data interaction is limited to local device cookies. You may clear this data at any time via your browser settings.
5. Third-Party Privacy Policies
SpawnHop's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers (such as those of our game developers via the Playgama SDK) for more detailed information.
6. Children's Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. SpawnHop does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately.
7. Consent
By interacting with SpawnHop, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. Continuous use of our services constitutes acknowledgment of our tracking and data methodologies.
8. Contact & Data Inquiries
For questions regarding this policy or to request a review of your anonymous data logs, please contact our privacy officer via our Contact Page.
