Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 27, 2026
This policy explains what HexAllies (by Boxels) collects when you play at hexallies.com or where the game is embedded on another site, and what we do with it. We keep it short and collect as little as we can.
Playing as a guest
You can play without an account. Guests get a random name. We don't ask guests for an email or any other personal details.
BOXELS accounts
If you register, your BOXELS account (shared by Boxels apps) stores your email address, username, password (hashed by our account provider, Supabase) and the app you signed up from. HexAllies adds your game profile: empire name, colour, banner, socials you choose to show, stats, coins, items and settings. Your username or empire name, banner, stats and chosen socials are public to other players and on leaderboards.
Game data
- Moves and games. The game server keeps the state of each round. Finished games are kept for replays in the public games archive (normally 48 hours, longer if a Premium player keeps one), showing players' names.
- Chat. Chat lines are shown to other players and kept briefly in server memory so moderators can review abuse. We filter blocked words.
- Things you make. Maps, banners, songs and presets you submit are stored and may be shown publicly once approved.
- Moderation. We keep records of bans, mutes and admin actions.
IP addresses and logs
Like every website, our hosts (Netlify for the website, Cloudflare for the game server, Supabase for accounts) receive your IP address and browser details when you connect. We use them to run the game, prevent abuse, rate-limit, and enforce bans. To count daily visitors we store only a one-way hash of IP address and browser that changes every day, not the address itself.
Cookies and local storage
HexAllies itself does not set tracking cookies. It uses your browser's local storage for settings (theme, sound, chat panel), tutorial progress, guest coins and stats, drafts, and — if you sign in — your sign-in session. You can clear these in your browser settings at any time.
Advertising
Guests and free accounts may see ads at hexallies.com, served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads are shown.
Premium players see no ads.
Playing on other sites
When HexAllies is embedded on another site (such as itch.io, Game Jolt or CrazyGames), that site may collect its own data and show its own ads under its own privacy policy. Inside those sites your HexAllies settings are kept separately from hexallies.com.
Who we share with
We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with the services that run the game (Netlify, Cloudflare, Supabase, Google AdSense where ads are shown), when the law requires it, or to protect players and the game.
How long we keep it
Account and profile data stay until you ask us to delete your account. Game recordings, chat and logs are kept only as long as described above or as needed for moderation and security.
Children
HexAllies is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; guests can play without giving any. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can view and edit your profile in the game, and ask us for a copy of your data or to correct or delete it. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California) you may have further rights; contact us and we'll help.
Changes
We'll update this page when what we collect changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
