hoopcrossPrivacy policy
Hoopcross is a nonogram (picture cross) puzzle game made by NK Tools. This page explains what information the app handles, why, and the choices you have. You don't create an account, and we don't sell your personal information.
Information that stays on your phone
Your level, coins, daily check-in and Daily Hoop streaks, saved puzzles and settings are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us. If Android backup is on for your phone, Android may include this data in your Google backup so it can be restored on a new phone; that backup is handled by Google under your Google account settings. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes the copy on your phone.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
Hoopcross is free and shows optional rewarded videos (which you choose to watch for coins or double puzzle coins) and occasional full-screen ads between puzzles through Google AdMob. There are no banner ads. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect:
- your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers,
- approximate location derived from your IP address,
- information about how you interact with ads, and basic device and app information.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in Hoopcross under Settings > Ad privacy choices. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Android settings.
Google's use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
No analytics
The app and this website use no analytics service. We don't track which screens you open or how you play.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, Hoopcross shows an evening reminder to collect your daily check-in. Reminders are scheduled on your phone and need no internet connection or server. You can turn them off in Settings or in Android's notification settings.
This website
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which processes basic request data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site. The site sets no cookies of its own. The teaser video is embedded from YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) and loads only when you press play; YouTube may then set cookies under Google's privacy policy.
Children
Hoopcross is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has used the app in a way that concerns you, contact us below.
Data security and retention
Data sent to Google's advertising services travels over encrypted connections and is kept according to Google's policies. Data on your device stays until you delete it or uninstall the app.
Your choices
- Change ad consent in Settings > Ad privacy choices (where offered).
- Reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings.
- Turn off reminders in Settings.
- Delete all local data by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date.
