What data the game collects

The game requires no account. We do not collect personal data ourselves; technical data is processed only by the third-party ad and payment providers described below. The game does not use the camera, microphone, contacts or user files. The player chooses the area to build on the map. The exception is the optional “Around Me” mode: with the player's consent (in the game and in Android), the game reads the device's approximate location once to pick the nearest map tiles. The location is processed only on the device – it is not sent to us or to third parties, and the game save keeps only a point rounded to 50 m so the player can continue building.

Data stored on the device

Saved games, settings, progress and downloaded map packs are stored only in the device's memory. They are not sent to us or to third parties. Saved games may be included in Android backup if the user has it turned on (managed by Google according to the user's account settings). All data can be deleted in the game settings or by uninstalling the app.

Downloading maps

Maps are downloaded from the server hexczechrepublic-mapy.pages.dev, run on Cloudflare Pages by Cloudflare, Inc. With every download the server provider, like any web server, processes technical request data (IP address, time, file name, browser type) to deliver the file and protect the service from abuse. We do not view this data, combine it with other information or use it to identify players. Downloaded maps stay on the phone, so later games need no connection. Provider policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Attraction descriptions (Wikipedia)

When the player discovers an attraction (e.g. a landmark or a peak), the game may fetch a short description from Wikipedia (Wikimedia Foundation). The request contains only the approximate coordinates and name of the attraction – not the player's location. Like any web server, Wikimedia processes technical request data (IP address, time). Policy: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy.

Real weather (optional, Open-Meteo)

By default the game shows weather typical of the current month and connects to no weather service. If the player turns on “Real weather” in settings, the game fetches the current weather from Open-Meteo.com for the approximate coordinates of the seat of the municipality being played – not the device's location. The option can be turned off at any time. Terms: open-meteo.com/en/terms.

Progress backup

The player can save a progress backup to a file and pass it to an app of their choice (e.g. Google Drive, e-mail). The file is not sent to us.

Ads (Google AdMob)

The game shows rewarded ads when the player starts them (e.g. “+40 coins for an ad”) and a full-screen ad roughly every 50 placed tiles (at most once every 2 minutes). Ads are provided by Google AdMob (Google Ireland Ltd.). AdMob may process the device's advertising ID, IP address, device information and ad interactions to serve ads, measure their performance and prevent abuse. Users in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland see a consent form (Google UMP) before the first ad and can choose personalised or non-personalised ads. Consent can be changed in the game: Settings → About → Ad consent. The advertising ID can also be reset or deleted in Android settings. Details: how Google uses information from partner apps. Buying “No Ads” or “All of Czechia” turns off full-screen ads, and rewards are granted without watching ads.

In-app purchases (Google Play)

Payments for in-game purchases are handled solely by Google Play. We do not receive card or other payment data. The game receives from Google Play only the information about which products were bought, in order to unlock them and restore them after reinstalling. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13. We do not collect data from children ourselves. Ads are served by Google AdMob according to the choice in the consent form (in the EU personalised ads only with consent).

User rights

We do not store players' personal data ourselves, so we hold no data we could provide, correct or delete. Rights concerning data processed by Google (ads, payments) are handled by Google under its privacy policy. Questions: [E-MAIL KONTAKTOWY]. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Map sources

The game's maps are based on © OpenStreetMap contributors data (ODbL 1.0 license), the DMR 5G digital terrain model © ČÚZK (CC BY 4.0) and Copernicus DEM.

Game website

The website hexczechrepublic.pages.dev runs on Cloudflare Pages. It uses no cookies, analytics or ads. Like any web server, Cloudflare processes technical request data (IP address, time, page address) to deliver the page and protect it from abuse.

Changes

We will announce changes to this policy in the game's update notes on Google Play.
