Privacy & Cookies Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Privacy and Cookies Policy explains how Hilli Games Limited (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles data when you visit hilli.games and any associated subdomains (including our puzzle games Trekatrail, Letago, and related titles).

1. Who We Are

Hilli Games Limited is the data controller responsible for this website.

• Company Registration Number: 17390284 (Registered in England and Wales)
• Registered Address: 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom
• Contact Email: hello@hilligames.com

2. Information We Collect (and What We Don’t)

A. In-Game Progress & High Scores (Client-Side Only)

• What is stored: When you play our games, your local game state, daily puzzle progress, preferences, and personal high scores are temporarily saved using your browser’s Local Storage (localStorage).
• Where it lives: This data resides exclusively on your own personal device or browser cache. It is never transmitted to, logged on, or stored by our servers.
• Control: You can reset or erase this data at any time by clearing your web browser’s cache and site data for hilli.games.

B. Server Logs & Technical Delivery Data

• When you access our website, our hosting and content delivery network providers (including edge routing services such as Lovable and cloud infrastructure) automatically log standard technical requests.
• This may include your device’s IP address, browser type, referral URLs, operating system, and the timestamps of page requests.
• Purpose & Lawful Basis: This technical processing is strictly necessary under our Legitimate Interests (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) to securely deliver web content, mitigate automated attacks/DDoS threats, and maintain basic site reliability. These logs are automatically purged on standard server-maintenance schedules.

C. Direct Communications

• If you contact us directly via email (hello@hilligames.com), we collect your email address, name (if provided), and message content solely to answer your inquiry and provide technical support.
• We do not add support correspondence to marketing lists or sell contact information to third parties.

3. Cookies and Local Storage (PECR Compliance)

• No Non-Essential Cookies: We do not use third-party analytics cookies, cross-site trackers, or behavioral advertising cookies.
• Essential Storage Only: Because our use of browser localStorage is strictly limited to making the games function properly (e.g., maintaining your active board state and high score on your device), it is categorized as strictly necessary. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary client-side storage does not require an opt-in consent banner.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on third-party cloud infrastructure, edge-routing services, and web hosting platforms to host and serve our web code. These processors handle basic web requests on our behalf under contracts requiring appropriate technical and organizational safeguards.

5. Your Legal Rights (UK GDPR)

Under UK data protection law, you have rights regarding any personal data processed about you, including the right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of personal information held by us (such as support emails), or to object to processing.

Given that your gameplay data never leaves your device, we do not hold personal profiles or player accounts to modify or delete. If you have questions regarding your rights or wish to exercise them regarding direct communications, contact us at hello@hilligames.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
