Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Idle Runner ("the Game", "we", "us") collects,
uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
- Game Progress: Your save data (upgrade levels, currency balances,
achievements) is stored locally on your device. If you opt in to Cloud Save,
an encrypted copy is stored on our servers.
- Device Information: We may collect device model, OS version, and
a random anonymized identifier for analytics and crash reporting.
- Ad Data: Our advertising partners (Google AdMob, AppLovin MAX)
may collect device identifiers and usage data in accordance with their own
privacy policies. We show a GDPR/UMP consent dialog before any ad data
is collected.
- Public Ranking (optional): The Game offers an optional public
leaderboard, OFF by default. When the public ranking is enabled for your account,
it shows your chosen in-game nickname, a random pseudonymous player ID, your
rank/category/world, and your best-wave score. Your email, account ID, currency
balances, purchases, and full save data are never shown publicly. You control
your visibility from the ranking screen and can turn it off at any time; turning
it off removes you from the public board (your underlying progress is unaffected
and is kept until account deletion).
2. How We Use Information
- To save and restore your game progress.
- To display relevant advertisements.
- To improve game balance and fix bugs via aggregated analytics.
- To operate the optional public leaderboard you opted in to, including
moderation and abuse prevention.
3. Third-Party Services
The Game uses the following third-party services that may collect data:
4. Payment Data
All in-game purchases are processed by the app store you use (Google Play or
the Apple App Store). We do not collect, store, or have access to your credit
card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment credentials. We receive only a
purchase confirmation and the purchased item details from the store to fulfill
your order.
5. Children's Privacy
The Game is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect
personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided
us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
6. Data Retention & Deletion
Local game data can be deleted by uninstalling the app or using the in-game
"Reset Progress" option. Cloud Save data is deleted upon account deletion request.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA), you may have the right to access,
correct, or delete your personal data. Contact us at the address below.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated
