Transparency & Data Protection

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 7, 2026 | Last Updated: September 7, 2026

At HK Play (accessible from https://www.hkplay.in), operated by HaptiX (“we”, “us”, or “our”), visitor privacy is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by HK Play and how we transparently handle, protect, and use that information.

By accessing or using HK Play, you acknowledge and agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy and our accompanying Terms & Conditions.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information to provide a smooth, fast, and family-friendly gaming experience. The information collected falls into the following categories:

A. Local Device Storage (Non-Personally Identifiable)

HK Play utilizes modern browser storage technologies (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) directly on your device. This allows our browser games to save your local high scores, game completion streaks, sound preferences (mute/unmute), and chosen difficulty levels without requiring account creation or sending this data to external servers.

B. Server Log Files & Technical Diagnostics

Like most modern web platforms, our servers automatically record standard log files when you visit our website. These logs include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser user-agent, operating system, referring and exit pages, date/time timestamps, and requested URLs. This technical data is not linked to any personally identifiable information and is used strictly for server monitoring, fraud prevention, and performance optimization.

C. Direct Communications & Contact Inquiries

If you contact our support team via email or our contact form, we collect the contact details you provide (such as your name, email address, and message contents) solely to answer your questions and provide assistance.

D. Optional User Accounts

If you voluntarily register an account to sync progress across devices, we collect your chosen display name and email address. All account passwords are encrypted and securely hashed.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information strictly for legitimate operational purposes, including:

  • Providing, maintaining, and improving our 47 browser-based educational and brain games.
  • Preserving gameplay preferences, sound toggles, and high scores on your local device.
  • Monitoring platform uptime, diagnosing technical errors, and preventing fraudulent activity.
  • Responding promptly to user questions, bug reports, and educational inquiries.
  • Ensuring platform compliance with advertising policies and international privacy regulations.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

To keep our games 100% free and accessible for all users, HK Play displays advertisements provided by Google AdSense and authorized third-party ad networks.

How Google Uses Cookies:

Google, as a third-party advertising vendor, uses cookies and advertising identifiers to serve ads on HK Play. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to HK Play and other sites across the internet.

User Consent in EEA, UK & Switzerland:

For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, HK Play complies with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2) and Google's EU User Consent Policy. Where required by law, we request your affirmative consent before setting personalized advertising cookies.

Opting Out of Personalized Advertising:

You have the right to control how advertising cookies are used on your devices:

4. Analytics & Performance Measurement

We use aggregated analytics tools (such as Google Analytics 4) to monitor general site traffic, page load performance, and popular game categories. These analytics services process anonymized data (such as aggregated page views, session durations, and browser types) to help us optimize game performance across devices.

You may opt out of having your anonymized activity tracked by Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international child protection frameworks, HK Play does not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

All games across HK Play are freely playable without registration. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has submitted personal details through our contact channels, please contact us immediately at hello@hkplay.in, and we will promptly delete the data from our records.
