Privacy Policy
PolarHawk is a free browser game in which you pilot a hawk through ice storm column formations in a freezing blizzard. This policy explains what data freezes through when you play.
1. Information We Collect
Like the polar sky, our data footprint is clear and vast — and mostly empty. We may receive:
- Standard browser request headers transmitted automatically — your IP address, browser name and version, operating system, and referring URL.
- Your personal best column count, stored only in your browser's local storage and never sent to any external server.
- Completely anonymous aggregate session statistics that cannot identify any individual player.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use data only to keep the storm navigable (maintain the game), de-ice the code (fix bugs), and understand general dive statistics. No advertising, no profiling, no data sales.
3. Local Storage and Cookies
Your best dive is held in local browser storage only. Clear browser data and it melts away — we retain no server copy.
4. Third-Party Services
Fonts load from Google Fonts via a standard browser HTTP request. No other external services receive your data.
5. Children's Privacy
PolarHawk contains no violent content, no gambling, and no in-app purchases. The hawk simply glides to a halt when it contacts a column. Suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 13.
6. Data Retention
Server log files are deleted after a limited operational period. Local gameplay data is subject entirely to your own browser settings.
7. Your Rights
Under applicable law you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold. Reach us through the contact form on our website.
8. Security
We apply reasonable technical protections to data we handle. No internet transmission is completely secure.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy at any time. Continued play after an update constitutes acceptance.
