1. What We Collect (And Why It Is Minimal)
- Town Grid & Nickname: When you build a town, your grid layout (`tiles_json`), hug counters, and chosen Town Nickname are saved in your browser's `localStorage` and synced to our MariaDB database so your town is not lost.
- Optional Town Passport: If you lock your Town Name on /login.php, we store your chosen Town Builder Name and a one-way `bcrypt` hash of your passcode. No email or real name is required to play.
- Adult Purchases via Stripe: When a parent or adult buys an expansion or Steward Pass on /shop.php, payment card details are handled directly by Stripe (`stripe.com`). We store only the order reference (`HUG-...`), package SKU, target Town Name, and optional receipt email so you can restore your purchase on /portal.php.
- Support Inquiries: If you contact our 256 Support Concierge or email support@hugit.town, we keep your message and email address solely to resolve your request.
2. Zero Third-Party Trackers or Ads
HugIt.Town does not load Google Analytics, Meta Pixels, third-party ad networks, or cross-site tracking cookies.
3. How to View, Export, or Delete Your Data
You can look up your saved town and order records anytime on /portal.php, or email support@hugit.town to request complete deletion of any town or order record.
