Guardian Hook Privacy Policy
Publisher: Kong Studios Inc. · Updated October 10, 2026

Guardian Hook does not require a game account. This policy covers the web game and Android Google Play release published by Kong Studios Inc. Contact: admin@kongstudios.net.

Progress on your device

Stage progress, settings, best times and local records are stored on your device. Clearing app or browser data can remove these records. Offline Android test builds and the offline iOS TestFlight build do not send gameplay data to our collection service.

Optional gameplay measurement

The public web game and enabled Google Play release send stage starts, completions, deaths and exits; play duration, hook count, failure reason, game version and distribution cohort. Random installation, session and attempt identifiers distinguish visits without a login. Our Cloudflare service stores hashed identifiers rather than names, email addresses, raw IP addresses or browser user-agent strings. Requests still pass through Cloudflare's infrastructure.

Google Play analytics and diagnostics

The Google Play release also uses Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics. When sharing is enabled, these services process app-instance or installation identifiers, app interactions, app/device/operating-system information, crash reports and diagnostic data. Analytics can derive approximate geographic information from network information. We do not request precise location, contacts, microphone, photos or an advertising identifier.

Purpose and service providers

We use measurement to find crashes, understand which stages players reach, and improve level difficulty and app performance. Google Firebase and Cloudflare process information to provide analytics, diagnostics and infrastructure. The current release has no real-money purchases or live advertisements. Ad personalization is disabled.

Your sharing choice

Sharing is enabled by default in the measurement-enabled releases. In Settings, choose Pause sharing to stop future gameplay measurement. The Google Play app also disables Firebase collection, resets local Analytics state and deletes unsent crash reports. This does not erase data already uploaded. You can continue playing and saving local progress with sharing paused.

Retention and requests

Local progress remains until you clear it. Uploaded reports and events can remain after you stop sharing or uninstall. The current Cloudflare pilot has no automatic retention expiry; an event quota limits new collection and does not delete existing records. Firebase data follows the configured service retention settings. For privacy questions or requests concerning your information, contact admin@kongstudios.net. Because the game has no account or email-based player record, we may need information about your app installation to locate relevant records.

Security and international processing

Network transfers use HTTPS. Access to the collection database is restricted to our operational tools. Google and Cloudflare may process information in countries other than your own. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Changes

We will update this policy when the game's collection or features change. The date above identifies this version.
