Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 10, 2026

Welcome to Running Late, developed by AniM3sh Studio.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use our game.

1. Information Collection

Running Late does not require users to create an account, register, or manually sign in.

To support the optional Run with Friends feature and the Global Leaderboard, the game uses Firebase Anonymous Authentication. This automatically creates an anonymous account on your device without requiring your name, email address, phone number, or password.

AniM3sh Studio does not intentionally collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.

2. Game Data

Local Storage :

Running Late stores certain gameplay data locally on your device to support normal game functionality, including:

- Game progress

- High scores

- Coins and in-game items

- Game settings

This information remains on your device and is used only for gameplay purposes.

Online Challenge and Leaderboard Data:

If you use the optional Run with Friends feature or the Global Leaderboard, the game stores limited gameplay-related information in Firebase Realtime Database, including:

- Challenge code

- Temporary nickname

- Challenge type

- Challenge score

- Coins earned during the challenge

- Global leaderboard score

- Anonymous Firebase user ID (UID)

This information is used only to enable online challenge gameplay, display challenge results, and maintain the global leaderboard. The anonymous Firebase user ID does not directly identify you by name, email address, or phone number.

3. Advertisements

Running Late displays advertisements through Unity LevelPlay (Unity Ads).

Unity LevelPlay may automatically collect certain information, including advertising identifiers, device information, IP address, operating system, device type, language settings, diagnostic information, and other technical information. This information may be used to provide, measure, personalize (where applicable), and improve advertising services in accordance with Unity's Privacy Policy.
