Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how HYPERSMARTY LLC ("we," "us"), an Illinois limited liability company, collects, uses and shares information when you use Jackpot Boardwalk(the "Service"). We collect as little as we need to run a fun, safe game.

Summary

We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We do not collect biometric identifiers or biometric information (no face scans, voiceprints or fingerprints).
We do not collect precise geolocation. We use your approximate region (state/country) only to apply location rules.
We use only essential cookies. There are no third-party advertising trackers on the Service.
You can download a record of your purchases and delete your account at any time in Account settings.

1. Information we collect

You give us

Account details: email address, optional display name, and your password (stored only as a one-way bcrypt hash).
Age confirmation: you enter your birth month and year; we store only the birth year and the time you confirmed.
Preferences: email choices, spending limits, reminders and self-exclusion settings.
Messages you send to support.

Collected automatically

Gameplay data: coin balance, level, XP, bonuses claimed, spin totals, biggest win and similar game state.
Leaderboard:if you have a confirmed account, your display name (or an automatic "Player" code), your best weekly win multiple and the game it came from are shown to other players on the Big Win Race board and may be posted in our Telegram channel. Your email is never shown. Set a display name you're comfortable sharing, or leave it blank.
Approximate location: our hosting provider tells us your country and state/region based on your IP address. We store the region code from when your account was created and use the current region to apply purchase restrictions.
Technical data: IP address, browser type and request logs kept by our hosting provider for security and reliability, normally for a short period.

From payment providers

When you buy coins, Stripe (or Apple or Google) processes your payment. We never receive your full card number. We receive the amount, a transaction reference, your email and billing country/state so we can deliver coins, prevent fraud and apply location rules.

2. How we use information

to run the games, save your progress and deliver purchased coins;
to verify your age and apply location and responsible-play rules;
to send service emails (confirmations, password resets, receipts);
to send promotional emails, only if you opted in;
to prevent fraud, cheating, chargeback abuse and security incidents;
to understand and improve the Service using aggregated statistics; and
to comply with law, including tax and accounting record-keeping.

For people in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, our legal bases are: performance of our contract with you (running the Service), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, improving the Service), consent (promotional email) and legal obligation (records required by law).

3. How we share information

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Service, under contracts that limit their use of it:

Vercel (hosting and approximate location headers)
Neon (database)
Stripe, and Apple / Google for in-app purchases (payments)
Resend (service and reminder email delivery)
EmailOctopus (promotional email, only if you opt in)
Zoho (our support mailbox)

We may also disclose information if required by law or legal process, to protect the rights, safety and property of players or HYPERSMARTY LLC, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets (with notice to you). We do not sell personal information, and we have not sold or "shared" (as defined under California law) personal information in the past 12 months.

4. Cookies and local storage

We use one essential, signed session cookie to keep you logged in, plus a short-lived cookie if an age check fails. We use your browser's local storage for preferences like sound and your last bet. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site trackers. If we ever add optional analytics or advertising tools, we will update this policy and ask for consent where required. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing.

5. Retention

Account and game data: kept while your account exists; deleted when you delete your account.
Guest accounts with no activity for 12 months may be deleted.
Purchase records: kept for up to 7 years for tax, accounting and chargeback purposes, without your profile after deletion.
Security logs: kept by our hosting provider for a limited period.

Depending on where you live, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other U.S. states, and the EEA/UK, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete and port your personal information, to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising and certain profiling, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We respond within 45 days (or sooner if your law requires). If we deny your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision; if your appeal is denied you may contact your state attorney general. You may use an authorized agent; we may ask you to verify your identity by confirming your account email. EEA/UK residents may also complain to their local data protection authority.

7. Illinois residents and biometric privacy

Jackpot Boardwalk does not collect, capture, store or use biometric identifiers or biometric information as defined by the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).

If that ever changes, we will provide notice and obtain written consent before any collection.

We use HTTPS encryption, hashed passwords, signed session cookies and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a unique password and contact us if you suspect a problem.
