Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-06.
1. What this site is
This site is a fan-built, non-commercial browser portal that hosts the playable Ren'Py web build of Home Is Where He Is inside an embedded frame. The game itself is loaded from the original developer's mirror.
2. Data we collect
We collect no personal data from your visit. Specifically:
- Privacy-friendly analytics only. We use Plausible Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-friendly analytics tool that records aggregated, anonymous page-view counts. Plausible does not set cookies, does not collect personal data, does not fingerprint visitors, and does not build user profiles. We do not run Google Analytics, Matomo, Fathom, or any other tracker on this domain.
- No advertising on the main portal. We do not run AdSense, Adsterra, or any other advertising network on the main portal pages (home, about, contact, endings, walkthrough, how-to-play, privacy, terms). Some third-party game sub-sites hosted under this domain may display their own advertising and load their own analytics scripts; those are governed by the policies of the respective game pages.
- No forms submitted to a server. Every form-like interaction on this site (endings tracker, comments board, share modal) writes only to your own browser's
localStorage. Nothing is sent to our server. - No cookies set by us. We do not set cookies; the small
localStoragevalues the page creates (endings progress, comments, likes) are not cookies and stay on your device.
3. What lives in your browser
The following state is written to localStorage and never leaves your device:
hiwhi_endings_v1- which endings you have unlocked.hiwhi_comments_v1- notes you have posted on the page.hiwhi_likes/hiwhi_liked- whether you clicked Like, plus the local like counter.hiwhi_consent_v1- a future consent state if we ever add a consent banner.
You can wipe these at any time by clearing site data for home-is-where-he-is.com in your browser settings.
4. Third parties we currently load from
The page loads the following external resources. The analytics resource is cookieless and records only anonymous page-view counts; the rest are content delivery:
- Plausible Analytics - privacy-friendly, cookieless page-view counter, served from
stats.1back.link(script) andstats.1back.link/api/event(event endpoint). No cookies, no personal data, no cross-site tracking. See Plausible's data policy. - Google Fonts - typography stylesheet and font files. Google may log the request to its CDN; this is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
- Font Awesome - icon font stylesheet, served by cdnjs.cloudflare.com.
- The original developer's mirror - the playable Ren'Py build is loaded from
https://s.thefalsesun.org/via an iframe. - YouTube - the two embedded gameplay videos are loaded directly from YouTube.
5. Children
This site is not directed to children under 18, and the game itself is intended for mature audiences. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors.
6. Changes
If we change this policy (for example, if we ever add a privacy-respecting analytics tool), we will update the date above and post a notice on the home page.
