Rift Rush
Overview
Rift Rush: Realm Runner (“the App”) is a 3D endless runner game developed by Krishna Kumar (“the Developer”, “we”, “us”). This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.
By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Information We Do Not Collect
Apart from the gameplay analytics described below, which Google processes for us, the App does not send personal data to servers controlled by the Developer. Specifically, we do not collect:
- Your name, email address or contact details
- Precise location data (GPS)
- Photos, videos, audio or other media files
- Contacts, calendar entries or other personal files
- Account credentials or payment information
The App has no in-app purchases and does not request any runtime permissions (such as camera, microphone, location, contacts or storage).
Data Stored on Your Device
To keep your progress between sessions, the App stores game data locally on your device using standard Android storage (SharedPreferences). This data does not leave your device. It includes:
- Coins, Rift Shards, best score and best distance
- Unlocked runner suits and power-up upgrade levels
- Mission progress, score multiplier and lifetime statistics
- Daily reward streak and Daily Rift results
- Settings such as music, sound effects, vibration, graphics quality and Share usage stats, and whether you finished the tutorial
Your control: you can delete all of this data at any time by clearing the App’s storage in your device settings or by uninstalling the App.
Advertising
The App offers optional rewarded video ads, served by Google AdMob, which you can choose to watch to revive during a run or to double the coins from a run. Ads are only shown when you choose to watch one. AdMob is a service of Google LLC and may collect and process information to deliver and measure ads, including:
- Device advertising identifiers (for example, the Android Advertising ID)
- IP address (used to infer approximate location at country or city level)
- Device information such as model, operating system version and screen size
- Ad interaction data such as views and clicks
This processing is governed by Google’s policies: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Consent and choices: where required by law (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and some US states), the App uses Google’s consent tool to ask for your choices before ads are requested. You can change them later from Settings → Ad privacy options in the App when that option is shown. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID or opt out of ads personalization in your device settings (on Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads).
Gameplay Analytics
To learn how the game is played and make it better, the App uses Google Analytics for Firebase, a service provided by Google LLC. When it is allowed (see below), the App sends gameplay events, such as:
- The game reached its menu, with how long it took to load and whether you have played a run yet
- A run started or ended, with its distance, score and coins, how it ended, what the runner ran into and your last move before it, whether it was the Daily Rift and how smoothly it ran (its frame rate and graphics settings)
- The tutorial started or finished, which of its steps you reached and where you were hit, and achievements unlocked
- Coins or Rift Shards spent (on a runner suit, an upgrade, a revive or a head start) and free suits claimed
- A rewarded ad watched, the daily gift offered and claimed, a share, a review prompt shown, and the daily reminder offered, your answer, whether Android allows its notifications, and a reminder opened
Google’s ads SDK in the App also records in the same analytics when a rewarded ad is requested and shown (counts, with no personal details), under the same consent and switch.
It also sets three properties: the version of the App you first played, your graphics quality setting and which of two openings of a run you play (a test of what suits new players best). Firebase collects an app-instance identifier (a random ID for this installation of the App), basic device information (such as model, Android version, language and app version) and approximate location (country or city) derived from your IP address. The App turns off the collection of the Android Advertising ID and the Android ID for analytics, does not use analytics for advertising or ad personalization, and never sends your name, email address or anything you type.
Google keeps event-level analytics data for 2 months and processes it under How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Firebase privacy information.
Your control: turn off Settings → Privacy → Share usage stats in the App and it stops sending analytics. Where consent is required (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), analytics stays off until you agree, in Google’s consent form, to information being stored on and accessed from your device; you can change your choice from Settings → Ad privacy options. Copies of the App not installed from Google Play never send analytics.
Google Play Games Services
The App uses Google Play Games Services for leaderboards (High Score and Daily Rift) and achievements. If you are signed in to Play Games, Google processes your Play Games profile (such as your gamer name and avatar) and the scores and achievements the App submits, and they can be shown to other players according to your Play Games profile settings.
Play Games Services is provided by Google and governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can manage or delete your Play Games profile and its visibility in the Google Play Games app or your Google Account settings. The App works fully without signing in.
Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Advertising-related data is handled by Google AdMob, and gameplay analytics by Google Analytics for Firebase, under the consent choices described above.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has sent us personal information through a support channel, please contact us and we will delete it.
Links and Support
Buttons such as “Rate us” or “Privacy” open the Google Play Store or this page in your browser. If you email us for support, we use your email address and message only to reply to you. We do not add support emails to marketing lists or share them with third parties.
Data Retention
Game progress is stored only on your device, so there is no server-side game data for us to keep or delete: uninstalling the App or clearing its storage removes it. Gameplay analytics is kept by Google for 2 months at the event level, as described above. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
