Our video game development and publishing involve computer games in a variety of genres, including grand strategy games, real-time strategy games, turn-based strategy games, role-playing games, and simulation games, for desktop computer gaming systems including PC, Mac, and Linux.

This privacy policy (referred to as “this Policy” later in this page) describes how Hooded Horse Inc. and its related companies collect, use, and share personal information of users of this website, hoodedhorse.com (referred to as “the Site”), and of our video games and related online services, including any in-game features, multiplayer or online functionality, leaderboards, matchmaking, and player-to-player communications (collectively with the Site, the “Services”). This Policy also applies to any of our other websites that post this Policy or that redirect to the Site (including hoodedhorse.games, hoodedhorse.net, and hoodedhorsegames.com). This Policy does not apply to websites, platforms, or services that post or are governed by different statements, including the storefronts and platform services through which our games are distributed and which may independently collect information under their own policies.

What Information We Collect
Here’s what information we collect and why we collect it. Where applicable, we rely on your consent (e.g., newsletter sign-up), our legitimate interests (e.g., keeping the website secure and running), or fulfilling our contract with you.
Information you give us:
We collect information when you choose to share it with us, such as your email address if you sign up for our newsletter or get in touch with us. We can do this because you’ve given us permission, and you can change your mind anytime by emailing privacy@hoodedhorse.com to ask us to remove your information. We retain such information until you request removal.
Information we collect automatically:
When you visit our website, we automatically collect some basic technical details such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referrer, and similar server log data. We do this so we can keep our website running smoothly and secure. Our hosting and security providers (such as Cloudflare or AWS) may process this technical data on our behalf.
Information from gameplay and online features:
When you use online or multiplayer features of our games, we and our platform partners may process information necessary to provide those features, such as a platform-assigned user or account identifier, gameplay and session data, in-game progress and statistics, and any content you choose to share through in-game features. Where multiplayer functionality is provided by a third-party platform, that platform’s services and privacy policy also govern the relevant data.
Website analytics:
Our site uses Rybbit Analytics, a privacy-focused, self-hosted analytics service running on our servers in Sweden. Rybbit uses no cookies, no fingerprinting, and does not store IP addresses. It collects only anonymized, aggregated website usage data—such as sessions, pageviews, bounce rate, session duration, and approximate location information (country, region, or city level). This data cannot be used to identify individuals, and it is never shared with third parties. We use it to understand how people use our website and to make our website better. Rybbit’s Privacy Policy governs such data and is available at its website (https://rybbit.com/privacy).

If we ever discover or become aware that we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will immediately delete all such information from our records. Account eligibility and age verification for the platforms and storefronts through which our games are obtained and played are handled by those platforms under their own policies.
