Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 23, 2026

Hyper Launcher ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website at hyper-network.net. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Usage Data (Automatic): When you visit our site, we automatically collect anonymized data including your browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and general geographic region. This data is collected via Google Analytics and does not personally identify you.
• Game Session Data: When you launch a game, we may collect session metadata such as the selected Minecraft version, client type, runtime choice, and session duration. This data is used to improve performance and server capacity planning.
• WebSocket Connection Data: Multiplayer gameplay connects to our WebSocket server at ws.hyper-network.net. Connection logs (IP address, connection timestamp, session duration) are retained for up to 30 days for abuse prevention purposes.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use the following tracking technologies:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. IP addresses are anonymized before processing. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Google AdSense: We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to personalize ads based on your browsing history. You can manage your ad preferences at Google Ad Settings.
• Local Storage: We use browser local storage to save your game preferences (selected version, client type, runtime) so your choices persist across visits. No personal information is stored.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data to:

• Operate and improve the Hyper Launcher service
• Monitor server performance and player capacity
• Detect and prevent abuse, cheating, or unauthorized access
• Analyze usage trends to enhance user experience
• Serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with service providers (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) strictly for the purposes described above. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies.

5. Data Retention

Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months by Google Analytics in accordance with their data retention policy. WebSocket connection logs are deleted after 30 days. Local storage data remains on your device until you clear it.

6. Children's Privacy

Hyper Launcher is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• The right to access data we hold about you
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to opt out of analytics and advertising tracking
• The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our Discord server.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party sites (Discord, GitHub, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
