Privacy & GDPR
Last updated: May 2026
Hex Cascade respects your privacy. This policy describes what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under applicable data protection laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where it applies.
Data we collect
Game progress (levels, scores, shards), device settings (audio, haptics), and optional account identifiers if you sign in with Apple, Google, or Game Center. Purchase history is handled by Apple App Store or Google Play.
When you use our website and see ads, we and our advertising partners may collect online identifiers (such as cookie IDs), IP address, device and browser information, and data about how you interact with pages and ads.
How we use data
To save your progress, sync across devices when signed in, improve gameplay, provide customer support, and—on the web—serve and measure advertising. We do not sell your personal information.
Advertising (web)
Hex Cascade uses Google AdSense and related Google advertising services on hexcascade.com and in the browser game at /play/. Google and other ad technology providers may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Deliver and measure ads
- Limit how often you see an ad
- Help prevent fraud and abuse
- Show personalized ads based on your activity on this and other sites—only if you consent
Non-personalized ads are based on the content you are viewing rather than your past browsing. They may still use cookies for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and security where consent is required under applicable law.
Learn how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services: Google partner sites policy. Manage Google ad personalization: Google Ads Settings. See also How Google uses cookies in advertising.
Consent, cookies & CMP (EEA, UK, Switzerland)
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we comply with Google’s EU User Consent Policy and applicable ePrivacy and GDPR rules.
We use a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) that integrates with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF), as required for publishers using AdSense when serving personalized ads in those regions (Google CMP requirements).
Before we use non-essential cookies or local storage for advertising—or process personal data for personalized ads—we ask for your consent through that CMP. You can:
- Accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your choices
- See which purposes and ad technology providers (including Google and partners listed in the CMP) you allow
- Withdraw or change your consent at any time using the cookie/consent settings on this site (typically available in the consent banner or footer) or by clearing site data and returning
If you do not consent to personalized advertising, we and Google may still show non-personalized ads where permitted. Partner vendors participating in personalized ads are disclosed in the CMP when you make your choices.
Legal basis (GDPR)
Where GDPR applies, we process data based on:
- Contract — providing the game and related features you use
- Consent — optional sign-in where required, advertising cookies, and personalized ads in the EEA/UK/CH (via our CMP)
- Legitimate interests — security, fraud prevention, and product improvement, balanced against your rights
Your rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of personal data we hold about you, and object to certain processing. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Delete your data: If you are signed in, open Your profile, scroll to Delete account & data, and follow the steps. This removes game progress, achievements, and your sign-in link from this browser. You may also contact [email protected] or use our support form for other requests.
Retention
We retain game and account data while you use the service and for a reasonable period afterward unless deletion is requested or required by law. Cookie and advertising data retention periods depend on your CMP choices and our partners’ policies.
Third parties
Sign-in and payment services are provided by Apple, Google, Game Center, and your app store. Web advertising is provided by Google (AdSense) and ad technology partners you may approve in our CMP. Their privacy policies apply:
- Google Privacy Policy
- Apple, Google, and your app store policies for sign-in and purchases
Your choices
You can disable haptics and audio in game Settings. On the website, manage ad and cookie consent through our CMP. You may request deletion of account-linked data by contacting [email protected].
Children
Hex Cascade is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
