Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2026

1. Controller and scope

This policy applies to the Hex Town game and this website. The data controller is Addison Yarborough, doing business as Nighttime Games, a sole proprietor based in the United States. Contact: hello@hextown.com. A postal address is available on request.

We do not operate player accounts. This policy does not cover Steam or Discord, which are controlled by their respective operators.

2. Information we collect

We collect information only when you submit it through the feedback form on this website or in the game. That submission consists of the feedback type, game mode and the message you write.

Feedback is anonymous. We do not collect your name, email address or other contact details through the form, and submissions are not linked to your platform identity. Please do not include personal information in a feedback message.

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.

3. How we use it

Feedback and correspondence are used to diagnose defects, evaluate suggestions and improve the game. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use it for advertising or marketing.

4. Processors and third parties

5. Data stored on your device

Saved games, settings and, if you link a Discord account, an encrypted authorization token are stored locally on your device. Where Steam Cloud is enabled, saved games are also mirrored to your Steam account by Valve. None of this data is transmitted to us.

6. Multiplayer

Multiplayer sessions are hosted by players and connected through Steam's networking services. Information associated with your platform account, including your display name, is visible to other participants in a session. We do not receive, monitor or store this information.

7. Optional Discord linking

Linking a Discord account is optional and is initiated by you through Discord's authorization process. The game requests permission to read your Discord friends list and their availability, and to publish your game activity to your Discord profile. This information is used within the game only and is not transmitted to or stored by us.

You may unlink at any time in the game's settings, which deletes the stored token, or revoke access through the Authorized Apps section of your Discord account settings.

8. Legal bases

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following bases:

We do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

9. Retention

Feedback is retained only as long as it remains useful for improving the game. Correspondence is retained for the duration of the matter and a reasonable period thereafter. Data stored on your device is retained until you delete it or uninstall the game.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.

Because most data relating to your use of the game is held by third parties rather than by us, requests should be directed as follows:

We will respond within the period required by applicable law and in any event within one month. If you are in the EEA or the UK, you may also lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority.

11. Children

Hex Town is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact hello@hextown.com and we will delete it.

12. International transfers

We are established in the United States and may process data from within the United States or the European Economic Area. Our processors operate global infrastructure and apply their own transfer safeguards.

13. Security

We maintain no central repository of player data. Authorization tokens stored on your device are encrypted at rest. No method of storage or transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of systems outside our control.

14. Changes

We may amend this policy. The date above indicates the current version, and material changes will be identified on this page or in the game's release notes. Where a change requires your consent, we will obtain it before the change takes effect.

15. Contact

Questions or requests relating to this policy: hello@hextown.com.
