Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 16, 2026
HopWiki ("we", "us") operates hopwiki.net, a free game that gives you two random Wikipedia articles and challenges you to get from one to the other using links. This policy explains what information is collected when you use the site.
What we collect
HopWiki has no accounts, logins or sign-up forms, and we do not ask for or store your name, email address or other personal details. We do not run a database of players. Your game (the two articles shown) exists only in your browser.
Like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) may automatically log basic technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, for security and to keep the site running.
Wikipedia
To get random articles and to calculate the shortest path, your browser sends requests directly to Wikipedia's public API (en.wikipedia.org), operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikimedia can see your IP address and these requests under its own privacy policy. Links to articles open on Wikipedia, which has its own policies. Wikipedia article text is available under the CC BY-SA license.

Children
HopWiki is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
