Privacy Policy

Effective November 9, 2026 · FHK Gaming LLC

This policy explains what information FHK Gaming LLC ("we", "us") collects when you play our games (currently Holding Pattern) on the web or in our apps, how we use it, and the choices you have. The short version: we don't ask for your real name, email, location or contacts, we don't show ads, we don't use tracking or analytics, and we never sell your information.

What we collect in Holding Pattern

Holding Pattern is our first game. As we release more games, each one's details will be added here before it launches.

• Player name (your "pilot name"). The name you type in the game. It appears on public leaderboards, so please don't use your real name.
• Player ID. A random code your device creates the first time you play. It links your scores together. It isn't tied to your identity, device ID or any account.
• Game results. Scores, time flown, rings collected, which map and plane you used, head to head wins, losses and rating.
• Flight recordings. For some runs we save the course number and the moments you pressed and released, so the run can be replayed as a "ghost" for other pilots to race and so we can check that scores are genuine.
• IP address. Recorded when a score is submitted, and used briefly to limit how often requests can be made. We use it only to prevent cheating and abuse.

What stays on your device

Your game progress (in Holding Pattern: unlocked planes and maps and best times), settings, player name and player ID are stored in your browser's local storage (or the app's storage) on your own device. We can't see this information unless it's sent with a score as described above. Clearing your browser or app data removes it.

What we don't collect

No accounts or passwords, no email address (unless you email us), no real name, no location, no contacts, no photos, no advertising identifiers, no ads, and no third-party analytics or tracking.

How we use it

• To run the leaderboards, head to head matchmaking, ratings and ghost replays.
• To detect and remove cheated scores and offensive names.
• To keep the game working and fix problems.

What other players can see

Your player name, scores and records appear on the leaderboards. In Holding Pattern, your flight recordings may also be shown to other players as a ghost plane under your player name. Nothing else about you is shown.

Who else handles data

• Cloudflare delivers our website and protects it from attacks. Your requests, including your IP address, pass through Cloudflare's network.
• Google Fonts supplies the fonts the game uses, so your browser requests font files from Google.
• Apple and Google app stores. If you download our apps or make an in-app purchase, the purchase is handled by Apple or Google under their own privacy policies. We never see your payment details.

We don't sell, rent or share your information with anyone else, except if required by law.

How long we keep it

We keep leaderboard entries, ratings, run records and recordings for as long as the game's leaderboards are running, or until you ask us to delete them. Backups are kept for a limited time and then removed.

Children

Our games are made for all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; our games don't ask for any, and player names should never be a real name. If a parent believes their child entered personal information as a player name, email us and we'll remove it.

Your choices

• Change your player name at any time in the game.
• Clear the game's data from your device by clearing your browser or app data.
• Ask us to delete your scores, record and recordings by emailing [email protected] with the game and the name you play under.

Security

Game data is stored on our own server in the United States, reached only through an encrypted connection. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we store to a minimum.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the effective date above.
