Run Away

Summary

Run Away does not ask you to create an account and does not collect your name, email address or any other directly identifying information. There is no registration, no login and no user-generated content. Your high scores, coins, unlocked characters and audio settings stay on your device.

The game is free and funded by advertising. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which collects technical and advertising data as set out below. We do not sell your data.

1. Who we are and what this policy covers

Run Away is developed and published by Ninely Tech ("we", "us", "our"), an independent software studio. For the purposes of the GDPR we are the data controller for this game, and under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 we are the data fiduciary.

This policy covers the Android game distributed through Google Play under the package identifier com.ninelytech.runaway. It does not cover Google Play, Google's own services, or any advertiser whose ad you choose to tap.

By downloading, installing or playing the game you accept this policy. If you do not agree with it, please uninstall it.

2. Information we collect

We collect nothing directly. The game has no user accounts, no registration, no login and no user-generated content. We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, physical address or any other directly identifying information, and we operate no servers that receive data from the game.

Stored on your device. Your game progress - high scores, collected coins, unlocked characters, audio settings and preferences - is written to your device's local storage. We do not transmit or back up your saves to any server of ours.

Collected by third-party SDKs. The Google software built into the game automatically collects certain technical and advertising data on Google's own infrastructure:

• your device's advertising identifier (GAID), Android ID or other persistent device identifiers, used for advertising and fraud prevention;
• your IP address, from which an approximate location is inferred, and your ad interaction data - impressions, clicks and completed rewarded videos;
• your device model, operating system version, screen resolution and language settings;
• crash logs, frame-rate statistics and other app performance metrics.

We see this information only in aggregate reports. We cannot use it to identify you.

3. How we use information

• To serve advertisements - AdMob uses device and ad-interaction data to serve banner, interstitial and rewarded ads, including the second-chance revive, and to measure their performance. This is what funds the game being free.
• To fix bugs and improve performance - crash reports and frame-rate statistics let us find and resolve stability problems.
• To prevent fraud - device identifiers let Google detect invalid ad traffic and protect the security of the game.

We do not sell your data to third parties, and we do not use it for any purpose beyond those listed above.

4. Permissions

The game requests network access, which the advertising SDK needs in order to function. It does not request location, contacts, camera, microphone, storage, SMS or phone permissions.

Where a future version requires an additional permission, it will be listed here and on the Play Store listing before it ships.

5. Third-party services and processors

The game uses the following third-party services. Each operates under its own privacy policy, which governs how your data is processed:

These providers may store and process data in data centres outside your country. Where personal data is transferred internationally, that transfer relies on the safeguards Google offers under its terms, including the European Commission's standard contractual clauses where applicable.

6. Advertising and your choices

The game displays banner, interstitial and rewarded video ads powered by Google AdMob. Rewarded videos are always optional: you choose whether to watch one in exchange for a second-chance revive. AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier to show you personalised ads based on inferred interests, to cap how often you see the same ad, and to measure performance.

You can opt out of interest-based advertising at any time:

• Android 12 and later - Settings → Google → All services → Ads → Delete advertising ID.
• Android 11 and earlier - Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation.
• Manage your ad preferences online at adssettings.google.com.

Opting out does not remove ads; it means the ads you see are contextual rather than personalised.

7. Data retention and deletion

• On your device - the only data stored locally is your game progress, coins, unlocked characters and audio preferences. This never leaves your device through our code. Uninstalling the game, or clearing its data from Android's app settings, erases it.
• Held by Google - advertising, crash and performance data is retained by Google under its own retention policies.
• Stop all collection - uninstalling the game ends any further collection by these SDKs.

We hold no account or profile about you, so there is no account for us to delete.

8. Security

Your game progress is held in app-private storage that other applications cannot read. Data collected by the Google SDKs is transmitted over encrypted connections and secured by Google's own infrastructure controls.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Because we hold no personal data ourselves, there is no store of player data on our side that could be exposed in a breach.

9. Children's privacy

The game is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and the game is not submitted to Google Play's Designed for Families programme.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us at the address in section 12 and we will take steps to remove it promptly.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have rights under laws including the EU and UK GDPR, the California CCPA/CPRA, and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, over data collected about you by our third-party providers:

• Access - request a copy of the data held about you.
• Erasure - request deletion of your data.
• Opt out - opt out of personalised advertising, as described in section 6.
• Objection and restriction - object to or ask for a restriction on particular processing.
• No sale of personal information - we do not sell your data.

Because we do not directly collect personal data, most requests should be directed to Google through its privacy policy and data management tools. You are welcome to contact us at the address in section 12 with any question, and you retain the right to complain to your local supervisory authority.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, the revised policy will be posted on this page and the "Last updated" date above will change, and the Play Store listing's Data Safety section will be updated to match. Continued use of the game after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
