Auto Wala — Privacy Policy
Effective: August 30, 2026
Applies to: Auto Wala for Android
Contact: unaik6000@gmail.com
Auto Wala is an offline-first driving game. This page explains, in plain
terms, what information the app handles, what it doesn't, and how the ads
you see are served.
1. The short version
Auto Wala doesn't ask you to sign in, doesn't ask for your name, email, or
phone number, and doesn't send your game progress anywhere. Your coins,
level, city, and driver profile live only on your phone. The one thing that
does involve an outside party is advertising: Auto Wala shows ads so the
game can stay free, and the advertising companies handle some technical
device data on their own to do that. The rest of this page covers both
halves in detail.
2. What we don't collect
We do not require an account, and we do not collect or store, on any server
we operate:
• Your real name, email address, or phone number
• Your precise location
• Access to your camera, microphone, or contacts — the app never requests
these permissions
• Payment details (in-app purchases, where offered, are handled entirely by
Google Play)
Auto Wala has no backend server for gameplay. There is nothing for us to
collect it into.
3. What's stored on your device
To remember your progress between sessions, the app saves a small amount of
data in your phone's local app storage — never transmitted to us or anyone
else:
• Driver profile — nickname, avatar, auto colour, chosen city — used to
personalise your garage and HUD
• Coins, XP, driver level, unlocked skins and cities — used for progression
and rewards
• Best distance, best chaos score, achievements, mission progress — used for
stats screens and daily/weekly missions
• Settings — volume, quality, control layout — used to remember your
preferences
The nickname is self-chosen, not your real identity — the app never asks for
or verifies who you are.
4. Advertising
Auto Wala shows three kinds of ads, served by Google AdMob: a banner on the
menu and results screens, a short optional video you can choose to watch for
a revive or a coin bonus, and an occasional interstitial ad between runs.
Ads are never shown mid-drive.
AdMob may also fill an ad slot through a mediation partner — currently Unity
Ads (Unity Technologies) and AppLovin — which compete to serve the ad that
pays most. When a partner serves an ad, that partner receives the same
technical information described below and handles it under its own privacy
policy:
• Unity Ads — https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy
• AppLovin — https://www.applovin.com/privacy/
To select and measure these ads, the advertising SDKs may collect technical
information on their own — including your device's advertising identifier,
general device information, and approximate (non-precise) location inferred
from your network. This collection is performed by those advertising
companies, under their own privacy policies, not by Auto Wala directly.
You can review how Google handles this data at
https://policies.google.com/privacy, and adjust ad personalisation for your
device under your phone's Settings → Google → Ads.
Consent in Europe: if you are in the European Economic Area, the United
Kingdom or Switzerland, Auto Wala asks for your consent before any
personalised advertising data is used, through Google's certified consent
interface. You can change your answer at any time in Settings → Ad Privacy
Options inside the game.
Rewards for watching an ad (a revive, doubled coins) are granted only when
the ad genuinely finishes — closing early never triggers a reward, and never
triggers any extra data collection beyond the ad itself.
4b. Analytics (Google Firebase)
Auto Wala uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the game is
played, so we can fix difficulty spikes and performance problems. This is
the one part of the app, besides ads, that sends anything off your device.
What Firebase receives:
- A random app-instance identifier Google generates for this install,
and your device's advertising ID. These are device identifiers, not
your name or account.
- Basic device and app information: model, Android version, app
version, language, and the graphics quality tier the game selected
for your device.
- An approximate, city-level location derived from your IP address.
Never precise or GPS location — the app does not request that
permission at all.
- Gameplay events: when a run starts and ends, how far you travelled,
your score and coins for that run, whether you finished the tutorial,
and whether a rewarded ad was completed.
What Firebase never receives: your nickname, your avatar choice, your
saved progress, or anything else from the on-device list in section 3.
Those stay on your phone. We use this data only in aggregate — we look at
how thousands of runs go, not at any individual player.
Google processes this data as described in its own privacy policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
To limit it, use your device's Google settings to reset or delete your
advertising ID, or opt out of ads personalization.
5. Children's privacy
Auto Wala is designed for a general audience and is not directed at children
under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If
you believe a child has provided us information, contact us at the address
below and we'll act on it — though as described above, there is generally
nothing on our side to remove, since the app stores no personal data on any
server.
6. Keeping and deleting your data
Because everything Auto Wala remembers lives on your device, you're always
in direct control of it:
• To reset your progress, clear the app's storage from your phone's App info
screen.
• To delete everything, uninstall Auto Wala — this removes all locally
stored data immediately and completely.
• To limit ad data, use your device's Google Ads settings to opt out of
personalised ads or reset your advertising ID.
7. Security
Since gameplay data never leaves your device, it's protected by your phone's
own security — screen lock, encryption, and app sandboxing all apply the
same way they do to any other app's local storage.
8. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes — for example, if a future update adds an online
feature — we'll update the effective date above and describe the change here
before it takes effect.
9. Contact
