Privacy policy

HC Games · Last updated: 3 November 2026

This policy describes how the Android games published by HC Games handle information. It applies to every game listed below. The public address of this page is heimat-cloud.github.io/games-privacy.

1. Controller / Verantwortlicher

The controller under Art. 13 GDPR is:

Heimat Cloud UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Baumgarten 48
83236 Übersee
Germany (Deutschland)
E-mail: games@heimat-cloud.de
Managing director (Geschäftsführer): Sebastian Gust

The games in this policy are published under the name HC Games. For privacy requests about the games, email games@heimat-cloud.de.

We do not run user accounts, login, our own game servers, our own analytics, or our own crash-reporting service. You do not need an account to play.

2. The games

GameAndroid package
Stack Upde.hcgames.stackup
Flummi Fallde.hcgames.flummifall
Hopsi Hüpfde.hcgames.hopsihuepf
Kaboom Keepde.hcgames.katapult

Each game can be played in English (the default), German, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

3. Data that stays on your device

Progress and settings are stored only on your device. We do not receive them.

Clear the app’s storage, or uninstall the app, to delete this data. There is no HC Games account to delete.

If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include this on-device save in that backup. Google operates the backup, not HC Games. Stack Up uses Android’s default. Flummi Fall, Hopsi Hüpf and Kaboom Keep explicitly allow backup.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob and consent)

All four games show ads through Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), using the Google Mobile Ads SDK and the User Messaging Platform (UMP).

The formats are banners, full-screen ads between rounds, and optional rewarded videos. A rewarded video starts only after you tap its button — for example to continue a run, earn extra coins, unlock a theme early, or use the shop.

Google may process the advertising ID, the IP address (used as approximate location), device information, ad interactions such as impressions and clicks, app starts, and diagnostic data from the ads SDK. Google uses this to deliver and measure ads, to prevent fraud, and — only if you consent — to personalise ads.

When the app starts, it asks Google whether a consent form is required (typically in the EEA and the UK). If it is, the UMP form is shown before ads are initialised. You can change or withdraw that choice later in the game’s privacy or ad settings, where Google requires that entry point to be shown. If you do not consent, the game may still show limited or non-personalised ads where Google allows that. Advertising is part of the free version.

We do not receive your advertising profile. Google describes this processing in its policies: policies.google.com/technologies/ads and policies.google.com/privacy.

The yearly subscription below turns banners and full-screen ads off. Rewarded videos stay optional.

5. Remove-ads subscription (Google Play Billing)

Each game offers an optional auto-renewing yearly subscription that removes banner and full-screen ads. The product id is remove_ads and the base plan id is yearly. The price is not stored in the app. Google Play shows the price in your local currency before you pay.

The purchase is sold and billed only by Google Play (Google Ireland Limited). Google processes your Google account, payment details and purchase history under its own privacy policy. We never receive your card number or payment details. The app only asks Play whether this subscription is active, and stores that yes-or-no result on the device as described above. We have no server of our own for purchases.

You can restore purchases in the game, and manage or cancel the subscription in Google Play. Cancelling stops the next renewal. The subscription stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.

6. Permissions

The games use Internet and network state (to load ads and to reach Google Play), the advertising ID (AdMob), Google Play Billing (the subscription), and vibration for haptic feedback. You can turn haptics off in each game’s settings. The games do not ask for your precise location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera. Any approximate location used for ads is derived by Google from the IP address, not from GPS.

7. If you email us

If you write to games@heimat-cloud.de, we process your email address and the message, including whatever you choose to include, so we can reply and, where the law requires it, keep a record of the request. We do not use that correspondence for advertising and we do not sell it. We delete it when the request is finished, unless a legal duty requires us to keep it longer.

8. Children

These games are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The ad SDK is not set up for child-directed treatment.

9. Legal bases

Where the law requires consent before storing or reading information on your device for advertising, or before personalised ads — in particular Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, in Germany, § 25 TDDDG — we rely on the choice you make in Google’s consent form. You can withdraw consent at any time in the privacy or ad settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before it. Where Google still serves a limited ad without that consent, Google describes the basis in its own policy.

Asking Google Play whether your subscription is active, so the game can provide the ad-free version you bought, is done to perform that contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Google is responsible for the payment itself.

Answering an email you send us is based on our legitimate interest in responding (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where it applies, a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

On-device game saves are not sent to HC Games.

10. How long data is kept

On-device data stays until you clear the app’s storage or uninstall it, or until the app overwrites it (for example the subscription flag after a new check with Play). Data that Google holds — ads, payments, device backup — is kept under Google’s rules. You can reset the advertising ID in the Android settings.

11. Transfers outside your country

We do not transfer game data to servers of our own, because we do not operate those servers. Google may process ad and payment data outside the EEA, including in the United States. Google describes the safeguards it uses, including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses, in its privacy policy.

12. Your rights

Where the GDPR applies, you can ask for access, rectification, erasure, restriction and a copy of personal data we process, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can withdraw consent as described above. You can also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Germany that is the data-protection authority of your federal state; in France the CNIL; in Spain the AEPD. In Brazil, the LGPD rights can be raised with the ANPD.

Because we do not hold game profiles, the practical way to delete gameplay data is to clear the app’s storage or uninstall the app. For data Google processes, contact Google. For data we hold — mainly emails you send us — write to games@heimat-cloud.de.

13. Changes

When the games change what they do with information, we update this page. The date at the top is the date of the current version.
