Last updated: September 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how HexSiege (the "App"), published by TresMonkeySoup ("we", "us", "our"), handles information when you use the App.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at:

• Website: https://tresmonkeysoup.net

Summary

• We do not sell your personal data.

• The core single-player game can run without creating an in-app account.

• If you use online multiplayer features, the App uses Google Play Games Services and Firebase services to authenticate players and synchronize rooms, presence, and game state.

• Gameplay options/settings are also stored locally on your device.

• The App currently does not include paid in-app purchases, subscriptions, or third-party advertising.

Scope

This policy applies to the current HexSiege Android and desktop versions made available by us.

Some features are platform-specific or service-specific. For example, Google Play Games Services and Firebase-backed online multiplayer functions are used for authentication and room state synchronization.

Information We Collect

A) Information from local app usage

HexSiege stores gameplay-related preferences/settings locally on your device (for example, options and session-related local state).

B) Information processed for online multiplayer

When you use online multiplayer features, the App and its service providers process data such as:

• Authentication identifiers (for example, service-provided user IDs)

• Player display name used in multiplayer sessions

• Room metadata (for example, room code/access level, participants, ready state)

• In-game multiplayer state (for example, turn/move synchronization and match status)

• Presence/heartbeat signals needed to keep multiplayer sessions active

C) Technical and diagnostic information

The App and underlying platform/services may generate technical logs and diagnostics for reliability and security, such as:

• Basic app/device runtime and error information

• Network/service error responses

What We Do Not Request as App Permissions

HexSiege does not request sensitive Android permissions such as call logs, SMS, contacts, microphone, camera, or location for its normal gameplay and multiplayer operation.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Operate game features, including multiplayer authentication and room synchronization

• Maintain service stability, security, and abuse prevention

• Troubleshoot, debug, and improve app reliability and gameplay quality

• Comply with legal obligations

Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

Depending on your region, our legal bases may include:

• Performance of a contract (providing requested game features)

• Legitimate interests (security, fraud/abuse prevention, reliability)

• Compliance with legal obligations

• Consent where required by applicable law

Data Sharing and Service Providers

We do not sell personal data.

We share data only as needed to operate the App and its online multiplayer features, including with service providers such as:

• Google Play Games Services (authentication-related functionality)

• Google Firebase services (such as authentication and realtime multiplayer synchronization)

These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies.

Data Storage and Retention

• Local settings/preferences are stored on your device until removed.

• Multiplayer-related data may be stored in backend systems for active sessions and operational needs.

• Retention can vary by feature and operational requirements (for example, active room lifecycle, reliability, and security needs).

You can remove local app data by uninstalling the App or clearing app storage in device settings.

International Data Transfers

Service providers we use may process data on infrastructure located in different countries. Where required, appropriate safeguards are applied under applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

HexSiege is a strategy game intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the minimum age required by applicable law for the relevant feature set.

If we learn that data was collected in a way that violates applicable child privacy laws, we will take appropriate corrective steps.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the App. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding personal data, such as access, deletion, correction, restriction, portability, or objection.

Because some data is processed by third-party service providers, fulfilling requests may require coordination with those providers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a revised "Last updated" date.

Google Play Compliance Note

This policy is intended to reflect the current app behavior as of the date above. If the App adds features or services that materially affect data collection, monetization, or third-party processing, this policy and any required app-store disclosures will be updated before those features are made available.
