HORN OK BYE · KOGNICS INC
Privacy policy
Effective date: 10 September 2026. This policy covers Horn OK Bye and its official website, operated by Kognics Inc. Contact: hello@hornokbye.com.
Information used by the game
An account is required to play. We use your email address to sign you in and secure your account. We store your account identifier, nickname, personal best score and tutorial completion to provide your player profile and saved progress. Nicknames are private; the current game has no public player directory.
Google sign-in
If you choose Google sign-in, Google shares your email address and basic profile information with our authentication provider, Supabase, to verify your identity. We request basic identity permissions (openid, email and profile), not access to Gmail messages, contacts or Google Drive files. Google account information is used for authentication and your player account, not advertising.
You can also sign in with an email code. Removing Horn OK Bye’s access in your Google Account stops that connection; it does not by itself delete your Horn OK Bye account. Use the account deletion process below.
Service providers and sharing
Supabase provides authentication and cloud storage for player accounts and progress. Resend delivers account sign-in and verification emails. Google processes information when you choose Google sign-in. Our website host and infrastructure providers process technical request information, such as IP addresses and error or security logs, to deliver and protect the service. Providers may process information in countries other than yours.
We do not sell your personal information. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect the security and rights of users and the service.
Device storage and website data
The game saves comfort settings and local progress on your device and stores a sign-in session where device storage is available. Older guest progress is separate from your cloud account. The supplied website theme contains no advertising, analytics trackers or marketing forms. Requests to this website can still generate operational logs at the hosting provider.
The current game build contains no advertising, purchases or remote gameplay analytics. Browser or device settings let you clear local storage; doing so can remove local progress and sign you out.
Retention and deletion
Account and cloud progress data are retained while your account is active so that we can provide the service. Deleting your account removes its authentication record, nickname and cloud progress from the active service. Separate local guest progress remains on the device until cleared. Operational records and backup copies may remain for their provider’s retention cycle or where needed for security or legal obligations; they are not used to restore a deleted player account for gameplay.
In the game, open your player account and choose Delete my account. Verify the email code and confirm deletion. You can also request deletion by emailing hello@hornokbye.com. We may need to verify that you own the account before acting.
Your choices and rights
You can edit your nickname, sign out, clear device storage or delete your account. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing of your information, receive a copy, or complain to a relevant privacy authority. Contact us to make a request. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity.
Age and security
Horn OK Bye is intended for a general audience aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it where appropriate.
We use authentication and access controls to protect player data. No service can guarantee absolute security. Never share a sign-in code, password or API key with support.
Updates
We will update this page when our data practices change and revise the effective date. Contact Kognics Inc at hello@hornokbye.com for privacy questions.
