WorldHop

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 October 2026 · House of Hiero

WorldHop is a geography discovery game for children. We built it so that no personal data ever leaves the device.

What we collect

Nothing. WorldHop:

  • has no accounts and no sign-in;
  • does not collect names, email addresses, or contact details (explorer nicknames and avatar choices are stored only on your device);
  • does not collect or use location;
  • does not use analytics, tracking, or advertising of any kind;
  • does not contain third-party advertising SDKs;
  • does not ask for access to your photos, contacts, microphone, or camera;
  • makes no network requests during play — the entire game, including all country facts, maps, and narration, is bundled with the app and works offline.

Where game progress lives

Passport stamps, streaks, points, and explorer profiles are saved in the app's private storage on your device only. Deleting the app (or using "Reset all progress" in Settings) permanently removes them. We have no copy and no way to access them.

Children's privacy

WorldHop is designed for children. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it does not collect personal information from children, in line with COPPA (US), the UK Children's Code, and GDPR-K (EU).

Purchases, links, and ads

WorldHop is free for every family. It has no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no advertising, and it posts nothing anywhere. The only sharing is the system share sheet, which a grown-up can use to send themselves the Club link.

The grown-ups area contains one outbound link: to the Club members' area on this website (worldhop.app), where a grown-up can print their Club pass and downloads. The link carries the household's membership code — an identifier minted on the device that contains no personal information — and nothing else.

Changes

If a future version changes any of the above, we will update this policy first and describe exactly what changed.

6 October 2026: WorldHop became free for every family in version 1.3, so we removed the description of the one-off WorldHop Club purchase. Nothing about what the app collects has changed: it still collects nothing.
