Privacy
Last updated 10 November 2026
Hellsick is a collection of free web games, run as a hobby by one person. This policy covers hellsick.com and the games on its subdomains: Here Be Dragons (dragons.hellsick.com), Infected (infected.hellsick.com), Party Pants (partypants.hellsick.com), Spirit Island (spirits.hellsick.com) and Huh? (huh.hellsick.com). It says what they keep about you and why.
What is kept
- Your account. You can play some games without one. If you sign in with Google: your Google account id, your name (shown to other players as your display name) and your email address. If you register a username instead: the username and, if you set one, a salted hash of the password (never the password itself). Either way, when you registered and last signed in.
- What you do in the games. Most play is only held in memory while a game is running. Some games keep things against your account so they are there next time: saved games, results and rankings, and settings such as the names and avatars you chose.
- Server logs and error reports, which can include your IP address and browser type, kept for a short time to fix problems.
This home page itself has no accounts, sets no cookies and keeps nothing about you beyond server logs.
How Google sign-in is used
Signing in with Google asks only for your basic profile and email address. They are used to recognise you when you come back, to show your name to the people you play with, and to find your account if you ask for it to be deleted. The games never see your Google password, and do not read your contacts, files, calendar or anything else in your Google account. Signing in with Google is also covered by Google's privacy policy.
Cookies
Only the ones signing in needs: one that keeps you signed in, a short-lived one used while Google signs you in, and a form-protection cookie. Some games also use your browser's local storage to remember settings on that device. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.
Who sees it
Other players see your display name and what you do in a game you share with them. Nothing is sold, and nothing is used for advertising. It is shared only with the services that run the site: the games are hosted on Amazon Web Services, mainly in Sydney, Australia, and error reports may be handled by Sentry.
How long it is kept
Your account and anything saved against it are kept until you ask for them to be deleted. Server logs and error reports are removed after a short time.
Deleting your data
Email privacy@hellsick.com with your username, or the address on your Google account, and your account and everything saved against it will be deleted. You can also remove the games' access from your Google account's connections page at any time.
Children
The games are meant to be played with family and friends, and are not directed at children under 13 on their own. If a child has made an account without a parent's agreement, email the address below and it will be deleted.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
