Privacy Policy

Hoop IQ is a daily basketball puzzle app. This page explains what we store, why, and how to get rid of it.

Playing as a guest. You can play every game without an account. Guest progress — your points and how many tries you have left today — is stored on your device only. We do not receive it. Reinstall the app and it is gone.

Signing in. Signing in with Google sends us your Google account identifier and the display name you choose in the app. We use them for one thing: keeping your points attached to you across devices and placing you on the weekly leaderboard. We do not receive your Google password, and we do not use your email address for marketing.

What the server stores for a signed-in account. Your account identifier, your display name, your points balance, how many tries you have used today, which puzzles you have solved today, and your weekly leaderboard score. Nothing else.

Leaderboard visibility. If you sign in, your display name and weekly score are visible to other players on the weekly leaderboard. The board resets every week. Change your display name in Profile at any time.

Advertising. The app is free and supported by ads. Watching an optional rewarded ad grants an extra try. Ad providers may process device identifiers under their own privacy policies; nothing about your Hoop IQ account is shared with them.

Analytics and crash reporting. We collect aggregate, non-identifying usage counts to see which puzzles get played and where the app breaks. These are not linked to your account.

Children. Hoop IQ is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Deleting your data. Profile → Delete account erases your account, points and leaderboard history from our servers. It cannot be undone. Signing out alone does not delete anything.

Questions, or a deletion request you would rather send by email: support@hoop-iq.app.
