Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 4, 2026
Hot Puzzles, Inc. (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This Policy describes what information we process in connection with the Hot Puzzles website (the “Site”) and how we use cookies and similar technologies.
1. Who we are
Controller: Hot Puzzles, Inc. Contact: [email protected]. Postal address listed on the Site’s contact section.
2. Information we collect
- Information you send us. If you use the contact form, your device typically opens your email application with a pre-filled message to us. We receive only what you choose to send in that email. We do not operate an in-browser database that stores your form answers on our servers for this static version of the Site.
- Technical data. Like most websites, hosting providers or infrastructure you use may automatically process server logs (for example IP address, user agent, timestamp). We do not describe third-party hosting here in detail; refer to your host’s documentation if you self-host.
3. Cookies and local storage
We use:
- Local storage key
hp_cookie_prefs— stores your cookie choices (necessary / analytics flags and timestamp). - Cookie
hp_cookie_consent— short label of your decision (for example “accept”, “reject”, “custom”) with a 180-day lifetime, path “/”,SameSite=Lax.
Until you accept optional analytics, we do not enable analytics tags based on the data-cookie-analytics flag on the document element (reserved for future use).
4. Purposes and legal bases (EEA/UK reference)
Where GDPR applies, we rely on consent for non-essential cookies/storage, and legitimate interests in operating a secure site and responding to inquiries you initiate. You may withdraw consent by clearing site data or using browser controls.
5. Retention
Emails you send are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and meet legal obligations. Consent records follow the cookie lifetime above unless you clear them sooner.
6. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers strictly needed to run the Site (for example email or hosting), subject to appropriate agreements.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact us at the email above to exercise these rights.
8. Children
The Site is aimed at a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the age required in your country) without parental consent. If you believe we have, please contact us.
9. Changes
We may update this Policy; the “Last updated” date will change. Significant changes may be highlighted on the Site.
