Hop.Earth Guide › Privacy
Privacy Policy
This is a static guide site with no accounts and no forms. What it does run: Google Analytics for aggregate usage statistics, and — once approved — Google AdSense advertising. Both are disclosed in full below.
Play Hop.Earth →What We Collect
Nothing, on our side
PlayHopEarth is a set of plain HTML pages. There is no login, no comment box, no newsletter and no contact form. We don't build profiles and we have no database that could contain anything about you. The site does use two Google services — Analytics and (pending approval) AdSense — described in their own sections below; neither is operated by us or gives us personally identifiable information about you.
That's not a promise about the whole internet — it's a statement about what this site does. Two things still happen that are worth spelling out.
Hosting and Server Logs
The site is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard technical request data — things like IP address, browser user agent, the page requested and the time — in order to serve pages, block abuse and keep the service up. That processing is done by Cloudflare under its own terms and privacy policy, not by us, and we don't use those logs to identify or track individual visitors.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, which pages get read, roughly where visitors come from, and which guides are worth expanding. GA4 sets cookies and similar identifiers in your browser and processes technical data such as truncated IP address, device and browser type on Google’s servers. We see only aggregated reports — never a named individual, and we don’t send Google anything that identifies you personally.
If you’d rather not be counted, the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on blocks GA on every site, this one included, and browser settings that block third-party cookies will also limit it. Visitors from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom will additionally be covered by the same consent prompt described in the advertising section once it is live.
Advertising and Cookies
This site is intended to be paid for by display advertising, provided by Google AdSense. What follows is the disclosure that applies once ads are shown here.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies — such as web beacons — to serve and measure ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. These cookies are set and read by those third parties, not by us, and we never see the data inside them.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time in Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of a wider range of third-party advertising cookies at www.aboutads.info. Those controls belong to the ad providers, not to us — turning them off works across every site that uses their ads, this one included.
If you visit from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, a consent prompt from a Google-certified consent management platform will ask for your choice before any personalised advertising cookie is set, and you can decline. We'll keep this section current as the advertising setup changes, rather than after the fact.
Links to Other Sites
Every "play" button here opens the official game at hop.earth, and we link out to other sites where we quote them. Once you follow one of those links you're on someone else's site under their privacy policy, not ours. Worth knowing before you click: Hop.Earth asks you to register an account before it lets you in, and what it does with that account is between you and its developer. We have no involvement in it and no access to it.
Your Data Rights
Rules like the GDPR give you the right to see, correct or delete the personal data a site holds on you. In our case the honest answer is that we hold none, so there's nothing to export and nothing to erase. If you email us, we'll have your email — we keep those messages only as long as it takes to reply and act on them, and we won't add you to anything.
Contact and Changes
PlayHopEarth is an independent project, not a company. Questions about this policy, or corrections to the guides, go to hello@playhopearth.com. If this policy changes — most likely when ads are switched on — we'll revise this page and the date below. Last updated 8 August 2026. How the guides themselves are researched and sourced is explained on the about page.
More Hop.Earth Guides
Unofficial fan site. PlayHopEarth.com is an independent player-made guide. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Hop.Earth or its developer, and it does not host the game — every play link points to the official site at hop.earth. The control list comes from the game's own help screen — hold H in game to confirm it yourself. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors; elevation data © EU/ESA/IGN/CNIG.
