Privacy

Privacy policy

What this website and our TV games collect, why, and what you can do about it.

Last updated 4 October 2026

In short. This website shows no ads today, sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other sites. Our TV games have no accounts. Tumblesky keeps a small record of each Remove ads purchase, and Party Night forgets everything when a game ends. We do not sell personal information.

Who we are

Hollowmere Games is a one-person game studio in New Zealand. On this page, "we" and "us" mean Hollowmere Games. This policy covers the website at hollowmere.games and our two TV games, Tumblesky and Party Night. You can reach us at support@0h.nz.

This website

  • It sets no cookies and uses no analytics, tracking pixels, social buttons or embedded videos. Its fonts and images come from our own server.
  • Like any website, our server receives your IP address and the details of each request so that it can send you the page. It does not keep a log of visits. If the server hits an error, its system log may record the failed request, which we use only to fix the problem, and that log is kept briefly.
  • There are no forms. If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply, and keep the conversation for as long as it helps us support you.

Advertising on this website

No ads run on this website today. We may show ads here in future, from Google AdSense and AdinPlay, to help pay for making the games. We will update this page and its date before any ads appear. Once they do:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at https://www.aboutads.info.
  • AdinPlay (AdinPlay BV, the Netherlands) and its partners may also use cookies and similar technologies to show and measure ads. Its privacy policy explains how, and how to opt out.
  • Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services.
  • Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland will be shown a consent message before any personalised ads or advertising cookies are used, and can change their choice at any time.

Ads on this website are separate from our TV games. Neither game uses Google AdSense or AdinPlay.

Tumblesky

Tumblesky has no accounts and no analytics. Its ads are our own, built into the game: they load nothing from other sites and collect nothing. To make the optional Remove ads purchase work, our server keeps:

  • a one-way hash of a random key your TV makes for itself, and the short codes shown on your TV. Unused codes are deleted within a week.
  • one record for each purchase: the payment reference, the amount and whether it is still active, so your TVs can restore it.
  • if you choose to remember the purchase on your TV, a one-way hash of the TV's device ID.

Your level progress and settings stay on your TV. Payment happens on your phone through Stripe, which collects your card details and an email address for your receipt under its own privacy policy. In our Stripe account we can see the amount, the date, the receipt and the email address you gave, but never your full card number. We use these only to answer support and refund requests and to keep the business records New Zealand law requires. The Tumblesky privacy page has the game's own summary.

Party Night

Party Night has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no cookies. While a game room is open, its server holds the nickname each player chooses, the avatar the game assigns, the room code, the answers players submit and a random device ID, all in memory. It uses connection IP addresses only to limit abusive traffic. Everything is deleted when the room closes, and nothing is written to disk. The Party Night privacy policy has the full details.

Where data is processed

This website and the servers for both games run on Amazon Web Services in Sydney, Australia. Stripe processes payments in its own systems under its own policy.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. It is shared only with the services named on this page: Amazon Web Services for hosting, Stripe for payments and, once ads run on this website, Google and AdinPlay.

Children

Our games are made for families to play together. We never ask anyone for their age, name or contact details in a game, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you think a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

Your rights

Under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 you can ask to see the personal information we hold about you and to have it corrected. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you also have rights under data protection law there, including asking us to delete your information or to stop using it. Email support@0h.nz and we will reply within 20 working days. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in New Zealand, or to the data protection authority where you live.

Changes to this policy

When anything changes, including before ads go live on this website, we will update this page and the date at the top.
