Starhook
Privacy
Starhook doesn't ask for your name, email or phone number. You can play without signing up for anything. Here is everything the game does collect, and why.
What the game stores
- An anonymous player account. The first time you play, the game creates a random player ID and a name like "Comet 1234". You can change the name. This is how leaderboards, crews and race links know your runs are yours.
- Your runs. Scores, how far you climbed, and a recording of your flight path, so others can race your ghost.
- Crews you join, and the name of any crew you start.
- Game events, such as starting a run, finishing the tutorial or sharing a result, so we can see what's working.
Your streak, best scores and settings stay in your browser's storage on your device.
Analytics
We use PostHog to understand how people play. It receives the game events above along with basic technical details: your browser and device type, screen size, the page that sent you here, and an approximate location (country or city) worked out from your IP address. We don't record your screen or what you type.
When a new player starts, the game sends us a short alert through ntfy with the player name, an approximate city, the device type, and the site that sent you, so we can see the game being played.
Ads
We advertise Starhook on Snapchat. The Snap Pixel on this site tells Snap when someone who saw an ad visits, plays for the first time, finishes the tutorial or shares a result, so we can tell which ads work. Snap handles that data under its own privacy policy.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we don't load the Snap Pixel, and PostHog doesn't store an identifier on your device.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your information.
- We don't ask for or store your real name, email, phone number or contacts.
- Starhook isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Where it's kept
Game data is stored with Supabase in the United States. We keep it while the game is running, or until you ask us to delete it.
Your choices
- Start fresh: clear this site's data in your browser settings. The game will treat you as a new player.
- Delete your data: email us with your player name (shown under Leaderboard) and we'll remove your account, runs and events.
