Anhhi Games, a trade name of Anhhisoft LLC ("we", "us"), runs games.anhhi.net and makes the games on it. This policy explains what we collect when you use the site, your account and our games, why, who else sees it, and how to have it deleted.
Your account
You need an Anhhi Games account to play our games, keep a library and use online features. When you register we store your username, email address and a hash of your password (never the password itself). We also keep what you add to the account: a profile picture, your display preferences (theme and corner style), the games in your library, linked game copies, scores, reviews, download history and notices we send you.
We use this to sign you in, deliver your games and their updates, run connected features such as leaderboards and online play, keep the service secure and answer support requests.
Signing in
Anhhi sign-in at anhhi.net/auth is shared by our connected services. It processes your identity, email address, credentials, sessions and security events, and each connected service receives what it needs to sign you in and apply your permissions. Our other sites, such as a game's own website and your account page on anhhi.net, receive your account ID, username and library so you stay signed in across them.
Where offered, you can sign in with Apple, Google, GitHub or Microsoft. We receive an identifier from that provider and the profile name and verified email address it shares (Microsoft may share no email address), and link them to your account. We never receive your password for that provider, and the provider handles the sign-in under its own privacy policy.
Playing our games
Browser games run from play.anhhi.net once the portal confirms you own them. Installed games and apps link to your account with a short code you approve at games.anhhi.net/link. Each linked copy gets its own credential, so the game never needs your password. We keep a hash of that credential, the name you give the copy, and when it was created, last used and expires. These identify the copy, not your hardware, and you can revoke them from your account.
Games send what their features need: your account, scores and times, results, the platform and game version, and for online games your moves or inputs. Games can keep progress and settings on your device or in browser storage; clearing that storage can remove local progress.
Online play and player safety
When you play online, our lobby and game servers receive your account ID, username, profile picture and the game data needed to play. Other players in the room see your username, profile picture and what you do in the game. We keep a limited history of rooms, including who played, when, and how a match ended, to investigate faults and abuse.
If you block or report a player, we store the accounts involved, the room, your reason and any note, and the outcome of our review. Moderators can record warnings, restrictions and review notes. A report alone never suspends anyone; serious or repeated misconduct can lead to a suspension from online play after review.
What other people can see
- Your username and profile picture, wherever you appear on the site or in a game.
- Your best scores and times, with their platform and date, on public leaderboards.
- Reviews you write, with your username and profile picture, here and on the game's own website.
- Public online rooms and recent activity: player names, profile pictures, game mode and play time. Public rooms can also be announced in our Discord with the players' names and the room's join code. Private rooms are never listed or announced.
Purchases and keys
If you buy a game directly from us, Stripe takes the payment on the game's store; we never see or store your full card number. Stripe shares your email address, the amount, the payment status, the receipt number and the last four digits of the card, which we use to deliver your game, send the order email, restore access and handle refunds. When you redeem a key, we link it, and the email address it was bought with, to your account.
If you got a game from the App Store, Google Play or the Microsoft Store, the game can send that store's signed proof of purchase so we can unlock its connected features. We verify it and keep only what proves ownership, such as a transaction identifier or a hash of the licence, linked to your account. Those stores handle your payment, store account and refunds under their own terms and privacy policies.
Emails
We send account emails (welcome, password reset and security notices) and purchase emails. If your account's update-email setting is on, we also send news and release announcements for games you own; turn it off in your account or with the unsubscribe link in any update email. Account and purchase emails are separate and can't be turned off. SendGrid (Twilio) delivers our email, and we turn off its link tracking.
Cookies
We only use cookies the site needs to work. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
- A sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in, for up to seven days.
- Short-lived security cookies while you sign in with another provider, lasting minutes.
- A play pass on play.anhhi.net that lets a game you own load, lasting up to 12 hours.
- Your theme and corner style, kept for a year so pages show them before you sign in.
Service logs and traffic statistics
Our servers record requests to our websites, games and APIs: the IP address, time, page and query, response, browser or app details and referring page. We use these to keep the service secure, fix problems and run it.
Our traffic statistics come from those server records, not from scripts in your browser. They don't store your IP address. Instead they keep a salted hash of the IP address and browser details, the network the request came from (with its last part removed), the request (with links' tokens, keys and other private values removed from its query, and game invitation codes removed from its path and referring page), and the browser, operating system and device type. These records are pseudonymous rather than anonymous; we use them to measure traffic and understand how our services are used, never for advertising.
Support and Discord
When you contact support, we use your message, email address and any related account or purchase information to help you. Support forms in our Discord create a ticket with your Discord ID and display name, the game and platform, what you wrote, and the replies and status that follow. Staff may reply by Discord message. Our Discord community is run under Discord's privacy policy, and posts there can be seen by other members.
Who we share information with
We don't sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising, and our games carry no advertising trackers. We share information only:
- with providers that run parts of the service for us: Microsoft Azure (hosting), Stripe (payments), SendGrid (email), Discord (community and support) and the sign-in and platform providers described above;
- with other players and the public, as described in "What other people can see";
- when the law requires it, or to investigate fraud, abuse or threats to our players or the service.
We are based in the United States, and our providers may process information in other countries.
How long we keep it
Your account, library, linked purchases and scores stay while your account exists. Other records are kept for set periods:
- Password reset links: one hour, and removed a day after use.
- Linked game copies: 180 days from linking, or 30 days after you revoke one.
- Online room history and Discord room announcements: 30 days.
- Player reports: 180 days. Moderation records and warnings: one year.
- Traffic statistics: 400 days.
Cleanup runs as the service is used, so these are limits rather than exact deletion times. Blocks and active restrictions last until removed or the account is deleted. Support tickets have no fixed deletion date; ask us to remove yours.
Deleting your account
Delete your account yourself under Account, then Settings, confirming with your password, or email games@anhhi.net from the address on your account. An administrator must hand over that role first.
Deletion removes your profile and picture, scores, reviews, library and keys, linked game copies and sign-in providers, store purchase records, and the reports and blocks by or about you. Staff posts stay with the author removed. A record of claimed rewards stays, without your account, so a reward can't be claimed twice.
It doesn't immediately remove server logs, pseudonymous traffic statistics, game-server match history or backups, which expire on their own schedules. Your Anhhi sign-in identity, support tickets and Discord messages are separate; ask us and we'll remove those too. We may keep purchase records we need for accounting, refunds or disputes. Deleting your account doesn't cancel a store purchase or remove saves on your devices.
Security
Our services use HTTPS. Passwords are stored as strong one-way hashes, reset links and game credentials are stored only as hashes and expire, and access to account and admin tools is limited to the staff who need it. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach that affects you, we'll tell you as the law requires.
Children
Our games and accounts are not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly create accounts for them. Where the age for consenting to online services is higher, younger players need a parent or guardian's permission. Purchases are for adults. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email games@anhhi.net and we'll delete it.
Games and their websites
This policy covers games.anhhi.net, every game you play through it, our game servers and Anhhi Games accounts. Some games also have their own website and store; their privacy page adds details for features only that game has, and this policy applies to everything else.
Your choices and rights
You can change your profile, preferences and update emails, revoke linked game copies and delete your account at any time. You can also ask for a copy of your information, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing games@anhhi.net from the address on your account. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights, such as to object to or limit how we use your information, or to complain to a data protection authority. We won't treat you differently for using them.
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes we'll update this page and its date. For significant changes we'll also tell you on the site, in an account notice or by email.
