PRIVACY POLICY

• Account: Your email address, player name, and sign-in information. Passwords are stored as protected hashes, not readable passwords. If you choose Google or Facebook sign-in, we receive the basic profile and email information you authorize and an identifier used to recognize your account.
• Gameplay: Puzzle progress, answers, streaks, achievements, bonus rewards, scores, and similar activity needed to remember your game.
• The Blackbook: Your chosen alias, drawings, and related information you save. Artwork you choose to post to a shared book or public gallery may be visible to other players.
• Premium: Subscription status and payment-related references from our payment provider, Stripe. HHKD does not receive or store your complete payment card number.
• Technical data: Basic browser, device, connection, and usage information, including server logs and cookies or session identifiers needed to operate and protect the site.

We use this information to create and secure accounts, sign you in, save your puzzles and artwork, manage Premium access, show game results and community features, prevent abuse, respond to support requests, and improve the service.

Cookies or similar browser storage help keep you signed in and remember your session. You can manage cookies through your browser, although blocking essential cookies may prevent some features from working.

We use service providers to operate HHKD, including hosting and database providers, Google or Meta when you choose their sign-in options, and Stripe for payments. They receive only information relevant to the services they provide and handle it under their own policies.

Content you deliberately share in a community feature can be viewed by other players. We may also disclose information when legally required or to protect the safety and integrity of the service. We do not sell your personal information.

We take reasonable steps to protect account information. No online service can promise absolute security. We keep information while it is needed to operate your account and fulfill legitimate business or legal obligations. Limited records may be retained where required for payment, security, or legal purposes.

You may ask us to review, correct, or delete the personal information associated with your HHKD account.

1. Email hiphopknowledgedrop@gmail.com with the subject HHKD Account Deletion.
2. Include the email address associated with your HHKD account. Never send your password.
3. We may verify account ownership before deleting or de-identifying information we control, including saved game progress and account-associated Blackbook content, subject to lawful retention requirements.

If you have Premium, manage or cancel your subscription through HHKD's Premium billing portal so future billing stops. Removing HHKD from your Facebook or Google connected-app settings stops future sign-ins through that provider, but does not by itself remove the HHKD account. Contact us for deletion.

HHKD is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us. Links to other websites and sign-in or payment providers are governed by those services' own privacy policies.

We may update this policy when HHKD features or data practices change. The date at the top will show the latest version. For privacy questions or requests, contact hiphopknowledgedrop@gmail.com.
