How Hashbang handles website information, analytics, cookie choices, and privacy requests.
1. Who we are and what this policy covers
Hashbang, Inc. ("Hashbang," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Hashbang corporate website at hashbanginc.com and its hashbanggames.com alias. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information through this website, business inquiries, beta-interest submissions, and related communications. Hashbang is responsible for that processing.
This is the website privacy notice. Our games can have player accounts, analytics, advertising, and purchases, and may be operated with other publishers or platforms. Those activities are separate from this website and are governed by the privacy notice provided for the particular game or platform. A cookie choice on this website does not change privacy settings in a game, an app store, or another service. If you cannot find a game's notice, contact us with the game name.
2. Information we collect
- Information you submit: contact forms request your first and last name, email address, phone number, and message. Beta-interest forms request your name, email address, and selected gaming platforms. We also receive information you choose to include in emails or later correspondence.
- Technical information: your browser and our hosting infrastructure exchange an IP address, requested URL, request time, browser/device information, and response/error information to deliver the site, diagnose problems, and prevent abuse. Our inquiry endpoint uses IP-based rate limiting.
- Privacy choices: essential browser storage records your cookie choice, the notice version, and when the choice was made and expires.
- Optional analytics: where configured and enabled by your choice, analytics measures visits and interactions using information such as page paths, referral source, browser/device characteristics, approximate location, and identifiers. See the cookie section for the current configuration and choices.
We receive information directly from you, from your browser, and from providers that deliver these functions. Please do not submit payment-card details, passwords, government identifiers, health information, or other sensitive information in website forms. Required fields are marked; without them we may be unable to handle that submission.
3. How and why we use information
- Deliver the website, respond to inquiries, assess project requests, and communicate about services you request.
- Consider beta-interest requests and send related invitations, eligibility questions, or operational updates. Submitting interest does not guarantee access.
- Protect the site, investigate suspected abuse, enforce our terms, and diagnose delivery or security problems.
- Remember and honor your privacy choices and, when you allow it, understand website use through analytics.
- Comply with applicable obligations, maintain necessary business records, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Sending an inquiry or requesting beta access is not consent to unrelated marketing. If we separately offer marketing subscriptions, we will provide the required choice and an unsubscribe method. Essential replies and service messages are separate from marketing.
4. Legal bases where applicable
Where European, UK, or similar data-protection rules require a legal basis, we rely on taking steps at your request before entering a contract or performing a contract for requested services; our legitimate interests in responding to business inquiries, operating and securing the website, and maintaining appropriate records, balanced against your rights; legal obligations where they apply; and consent for optional analytics or communications requiring it. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
7. How long we keep information
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for applicable legal, security, accounting, and dispute-resolution needs. Inquiry and correspondence records may be kept while a request or business relationship is active and afterwards where needed to document it or resolve a claim. Beta-interest information is kept while it remains relevant to the requested program or associated communications. Technical records are retained according to operational and security needs and provider settings; cookie-choice storage has the 180-day limit described above.
When deciding retention, we consider the information's sensitivity, the nature of the relationship, unresolved issues, applicable obligations, and whether the purpose can be met with less information. We delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed, subject to legal holds and routine backup deletion cycles. Contact us about a particular record or deletion request.
8. Security
We use safeguards appropriate to the processing, including access restrictions and technical measures to protect submissions and reduce automated abuse. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Keep your own devices and email account secure and avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information. Report suspected security or privacy incidents to info@hashbanginc.com; do not include passwords or exploit personal information to demonstrate an issue.
9. International visitors
Hashbang is based in the United States. Your information may be processed in the United States and in countries where our service providers operate, whose privacy laws may differ from those in your location. Where a transfer is subject to legal restrictions, appropriate safeguards are required, such as an applicable adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards. Contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to a particular transfer. Visiting this website does not waive your mandatory rights.
10. Your privacy rights and requests
Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have the right to know about or access personal information, receive a portable copy, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, restrict processing, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling. Some laws also provide a right to limit certain uses of sensitive information. These rights are subject to their legal scope and exceptions; listing them does not mean every law applies to every request.
Email info@hashbanginc.com with the subject "Privacy request" and describe your request and relationship with us. You may also write to Hashbang, Inc., 6424 W. Geronimo Rd, Golden Valley AZ 86412, United States. If your request concerns a game, include its title and relevant platform so we can identify the responsible service. Do not send a password or an identity document with the initial request.
We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or an authorized agent's authority, and use it for that verification. We respond within the period required by applicable law and explain any lawful extension or refusal. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights. If we decline a request and an appeal right applies, reply with "Privacy appeal"; you may also contact the relevant regulator.
California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act when it applies to the business and information at issue, as well as rights concerning certain direct-marketing disclosures under California law. The categories, sources, purposes, and recipients for this website are described above. EEA and UK residents may complain to their local supervisory authority, including the UK Information Commissioner's Office. Other residents may contact their state attorney general or applicable privacy regulator.
11. Children and younger visitors
The corporate website's business inquiry and beta-interest forms are intended for adults, not children under 18. Please do not submit information through these forms if you are under 18. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action, including deletion where required. Age ratings, parental permissions, and children's privacy practices for a game must be checked in that game's notice; this website notice is not a children's game privacy policy.
12. Other websites and applications
Our portfolio, social links, store links, and job applications may take you to independently operated services. When you follow a link, that provider receives information needed to deliver its page and may collect additional information under its own privacy policy. For example, job applications submitted through an external recruiting platform are processed there. We do not control those services. Review their notices before submitting information; the website cookie panel does not control them.
13. Changes to this policy
We will update this notice when our website practices change and identify the new effective date. Material changes will receive additional notice where required, and we will seek fresh consent where a new purpose requires it. Changes do not retroactively authorize incompatible uses of previously collected information without the required legal basis or consent.
