HoHo Hero! Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-16

Ho Ho Hero: Christmas Rescue (“the game”) is published by FuryForm on Google Play and by Varavut Lormongkol on the App Store (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what happens to information when you play the game. The game is made for children and families, and it is built so that it does not collect any personal information from anyone.

The short version

We do not collect, store, share or sell any personal information.
The game has no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no accounts.
There is no chat and no way to talk to other players, and the game has no links to websites or social networks.
Your progress is saved on your own device, and is never sent to us.
Purchases go through Google Play or the App Store, never through us.

What the game saves on your device

So you can carry on where you left off, the game saves the following on the device it is played on:

which stages are unlocked, the stars earned and the golden presents found
coins, upgrades and spare toys bought in the in-game shop with those coins
the character being played and the characters unlocked
settings such as sound volume, vibration, language and graphics quality
the date of the last daily gift claimed
a record of which in-app purchases were made, so bought characters stay unlocked

The game never sends this information anywhere. We cannot see it, and it is not linked to your name or to any other information about you. Uninstalling the game, or clearing its data in your device settings, deletes it from the device.

Device backups

If backups are turned on in your device settings, Android may include the game’s saved progress in your device’s backup to your Google account, and an iPhone or iPad may include it in your iCloud or computer backup. That way your progress can come back on a new device. These backups belong to your account and are handled by Google or Apple under their privacy policies. We never receive them. You can turn backups off in your device settings.

In-app purchases

Some extra characters can be bought with real money. Purchases are made through Google Play or Apple’s App Store and follow their terms. We never receive your name, email address, payment details or any other information about you from those purchases. The store only tells the game which products the account on the device owns, so purchases can be restored.

Purchases need the approval of the store account holder. Parents can require approval for every purchase with Google Family Link or Google Play’s purchase authentication, and with Apple’s Ask to Buy and Screen Time.

The privacy policies of Google and Apple cover any information those stores handle.

Device permissions

Internet, used only by Google Play or the App Store to complete and restore purchases. The game itself sends nothing over the internet and plays fully offline.
Vibration, for vibration effects during play. It can be turned off in the game’s pause menu.

The game does not use your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or any other personal data on your device.

Children’s privacy

The game is designed for children. Because it collects no personal information at all, it does not collect personal information from children under 13, or under the age of digital consent where they live. This is in line with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and Google Play’s Families Policy.

Changes to this policy

If the game ever changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and its effective date before the change is released.
