Effective date: February 9, 2026. This policy explains how Flappyhip.com collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information. We apply a minimal-data approach and keep processing focused on site operation, support, and service improvement.

The platform is intended for adults aged 18 years and older. We use an age confirmation gate to restrict access. If you are under 18, you must not use the site.

3. Information We Collect

We collect only information necessary for operation and support:

Gameplay state stored locally in your browser, such as virtual coin balance, rounds played, and achievement status.
Technical usage data (for example browser type, device class, and interaction timing) used to improve performance and usability.
Support form details you provide voluntarily, such as name, email address, topic, and message text.

4. Information We Do Not Collect

No deposit or withdrawal instructions.

The site has no payment processing flow. All games are free and use virtual coins only.

To keep core site features functional, including session continuity and settings.
To maintain and improve gameplay quality, interface clarity, and technical reliability.
To answer user support requests and investigate reported issues.
To uphold platform safety, legal compliance, and abuse prevention.

6. Legal Basis for Processing

We process data based on legitimate interests in operating and improving the platform, user consent where applicable (for optional cookies), and compliance obligations under applicable law.

7. Storage and Retention

Local gameplay data remains in your browser until cleared by you. Support communications are retained only as long as needed to handle requests, enforce policies, and maintain service quality.

8. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell personal information. Data may be shared with service providers assisting with hosting, security, or analytics, under confidentiality and processing safeguards. We may disclose data where required by law or to protect platform security.

9. International Transfers

Some service providers may process information outside New Zealand. Where this occurs, we apply reasonable safeguards to protect personal data.

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your personal data.

To submit a request, use the contact page and include enough detail for verification. We may ask for additional information to confirm your identity.

11. Security Measures

We use reasonable technical and organizational controls designed to reduce unauthorized access, misuse, and loss of information. No system can guarantee absolute security, so users should also maintain device-level security practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. The effective date above will be revised when updates occur.
