Privacy Policy
Effective October 2, 2026. Updated November 4, 2026.
This page says what Hoopl ("Can You Hoop?", hoopl.io) collects, why, and what you can do about it. Questions go to support@hoopl.io.
- You can play without an account. Then the game only knows a random ID your browser makes up, and your games.
- If you sign in, it also has your email address and the name you pick.
- No ads, no selling your information, no tracking you on other sites.
- You can delete your account any time: Account, then Delete account.
What the game collects
- A random ID your browser creates. It isn't your name or email.
- Your games: the answers you made, your score and when you played. Outside duels, the game doesn't keep what you type, only the answers you got right.
- In a duel: the other player sees your name, what you type as you type it, and your wrong answers. What you typed is erased when the duel ends, or within two days if nobody finishes it. Names and final scores stay with the duel, for each player's past games.
- What you send with Request a question, and your rating of a day's game with any note you add.
- Your kind of device (iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows or other) and screen width.
- If you came through a creator's link, that creator's name.
- Where you came from: the app or site that linked you here (like TikTok or Instagram), if your browser says, or where you tell the game you found it.
- How long the game took to load, and when you tap Share or Copy (not what you sent or who to).
- With an account: your email address (with "Continue with Google", your name and email from your Google account), the name you pick, which other players may see, your Locker and your purchases.
- If you buy something: Stripe takes the payment on its own page, so your card details go to Stripe, not to Hoopl. Hoopl keeps a record of what you bought, the price and when.
- Like any website, the companies that host Hoopl see your IP address when your browser connects. It's used to keep the site running and to slow down abuse. The host also counts page visits for Hoopl, without cookies.
On your device
Your browser stores today's game, your past results, your settings and the random ID. Cookies are used only to keep you signed in. There are no advertising cookies.
How it's used
- To run the game: check answers, save your game, show your results and streak, keep your Locker.
- To send sign-in codes. You won't get other emails unless you ask for them.
- To make the game better and keep it fair and secure.
Who else handles it
Only the service providers that help run the game (hosting, visit counts, storage, sign-in emails and payments), and only for that. If you choose "Continue with Google", Google handles that sign-in under Google's privacy policy. Payments are handled by Stripe under Stripe's privacy policy.
Hoopl doesn't sell your information or share it for advertising, and no one else collects information about what you do on Hoopl over time and across other sites.
How long it's kept
- Your account, its games and its purchase records: until you delete your account. Stripe keeps its own payment records as the law requires.
- Guest games: as long as they help run and improve the game. They aren't tied to your name or email.
- What's in your browser: until you clear it.
Your choices
- Play without an account.
- Delete your account any time: Account, then Delete account. That deletes your email, name, Locker and the games saved to your account, and takes your name off your past duels. The other player keeps the score, against "Player".
- Ask for a copy of your information, a correction, or a deletion: support@hoopl.io.
- Clear your browser's site data to reset the random ID and your saved games.
- Do Not Track: Hoopl doesn't track you across other sites, so that setting doesn't change anything here.
Kids
Hoopl has always been made for people 13 and up. It isn't made for children under 13, and you have to be 13 or older to make an account. If you think a child under 13 gave Hoopl their information, email support@hoopl.io and it will be deleted.
Security
There's no Hoopl password to steal: you sign in with a one-time code or with Google. No system is perfect, but your information is kept to what the game needs.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes too. Big changes will be mentioned on the site.
