Last updated: October 29, 2026
1. Scope, controller and contact
This Privacy Policy explains how TinyTorque for Android, its optional online or purchase functions described below, and related support handle information. Android package: com.kulliongames.tinytorque. The app may also display the name “Tiny Torque”.
The data controller is Martin Kull, trading as Kullion Games. Postal address: Postweg 26H, 21629 Neu Wulmstorf, Germany. Privacy and support email: kulliongames@gmail.com. Website: https://kulliongames.de/. Contact us using these details for questions, privacy requests or deletion requests and identify the game concerned.
2. Information stored on your device
TinyTorque stores race times, medals, event progression, selected vehicle and paint, last event, paused-race snapshots, replay ghosts, recovery saves, and language, controls, driving assistance, sensitivity, audio, haptic-feedback, motion, camera and graphics-quality preferences. It also stores the purchase records described in Section 4. These records let the game resume play, apply your preferences, calculate results and remember unlocked content. Your device language may be used to choose an initial interface language.
The game does not contain third-party advertising, advertising-ID tracking, a separate developer analytics SDK or a separate developer crash-reporting SDK. It does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, precise location, messages, call history or photo library. Android and Google Play may separately process platform information under their own services and settings.
3. Optional Google Play Games features
Ordinary gameplay and saves run locally without a separate Kullion Games player account. If Google Play Games features are available and enabled in your installed version, Google handles gaming authentication, achievements and the relevant leaderboard through your Google gaming profile. Existing Google Play Games sign-in preferences can allow an already authenticated session to be used when the game starts or resumes.
TinyTorque submits completion times for the fixed reference trial and achievement unlocks. Ordinary campaign and daily-trial records and replay ghosts are not uploaded by this feature. A local queue remembers pending times, achievement states and run identifiers to avoid duplicate submissions.
Google associates submitted results with your gaming identity. Your gamer name, ranking and achievement information can be visible to other players according to the feature and your Google profile settings. No Google password is given to Kullion Games. You can manage game sign-in, profile visibility and Google-held game data through Google Play Games settings. See https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/3129346 and https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/9130646. These features do not create a developer-operated cloud-save or multiplayer service.
4. In-app purchases
Optional one-time purchases cover the full-version unlock and expansion content and use Google Play Billing. Google handles checkout and payment credentials. The game does not receive your full payment-card number, banking credentials or Google Account password.
The billing flow provides product identifiers, product and price information, purchase status, the app package, purchase tokens and signed purchase information. The game uses the relevant fields to display offers, check ownership, validate or acknowledge purchases and restore content. Pending, cancelled, refunded or revoked transactions can affect access.
The game keeps verified signed purchase receipts and their signatures in its private local storage, together with entitlement information. Receipt data can include purchase tokens and transaction details. These records support ownership verification and access to purchased content. Verification is performed locally; no separate developer purchase-verification server receives these receipts.
Google maintains its own transaction records. If you request purchase support, we may use the order reference you provide and relevant merchant information available through Google Play. Google’s notices are available at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://payments.google.com/payments/apis-secure/get_legal_document?ldl=en&ldo=0&ldt=privacynotice.
5. Information you send to support
If you contact us, we receive your email address, sender name, message, correspondence metadata and any attachments you choose to send. This can include an app version, device model, Android version, screenshot or purchase order reference. We use it to answer your enquiry, resolve a reported problem, handle purchase issues and fulfil privacy requests. Our contact mailbox uses Gmail.
Please send only what is necessary and remove unrelated personal information from attachments. Do not send passwords, complete payment-card details or authentication tokens. We do not automatically obtain a copy of your device’s saves or diagnostics merely because you email us.
6. Purposes and legal bases
Providing the game, saving requested progress and preferences, and administering paid-content access relies on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where personal data and a service contract are involved. Requested achievement and leaderboard functions also rely on Article 6(1)(b) where applicable; any additional consent required by law or the platform is obtained separately.
We handle service-related support under Article 6(1)(b), applicable legal and privacy obligations under Article 6(1)(c), and other voluntary enquiries, necessary abuse prevention, service security and legal claims under Article 6(1)(f). The legitimate interests are responding to enquiries, maintaining a reliable service, preventing misuse and protecting legal rights. We limit processing to information relevant to those purposes and take your rights into account.
Where consent is legally required for an optional activity, it is requested separately and can be withdrawn for future processing. Installing or using the game, or reading this policy, does not by itself constitute consent to unrelated processing. Necessary device storage for functions you request is distinguished from optional storage or access requiring consent.
7. Recipients and international processing
Google receives information through the Play, payment and, where applicable, gaming services it operates. Google’s email services deliver and store correspondence sent to our contact address. We may disclose necessary records to authorities where legally required and to professional advisers where needed to protect rights or handle a dispute. We do not sell personal information, share it for behavioural advertising or rent out player lists.
Google services can process information outside Germany and the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Google publishes its transfer safeguards at https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks. These include applicable adequacy arrangements and Standard Contractual Clauses. The relevant mechanism depends on the recipient and service. You may contact us for information about safeguards relevant to developer-controlled processing.
8. Retention and deletion periods
Local progress, preferences and purchase caches remain until updated, cleared or removed with the app. Local recovery copies, where used, form part of the app’s stored data. Clearing only the cache may leave saves intact. Android app backup is disabled in the app configuration. Device manufacturers can operate separate transfer or recovery mechanisms; any copies created outside the app must be managed through those mechanisms. Google Play’s independent order history is separate.
Support correspondence is kept while needed to resolve the enquiry, provide necessary follow-up, meet a legal obligation or handle a relevant dispute. The subject of the request, open issues and applicable statutory periods determine retention. Once those purposes end, identifiable developer-held records are deleted or anonymised. Google retains its independently controlled payment, account and platform records under its own rules; provider backups can take additional time to expire after active records are removed.
9. How to delete data or make a request
To remove local TinyTorque data, open Android Settings, select Apps, choose Tiny Torque, open Storage and choose Clear storage or Clear app data, or uninstall the game. Names vary by device. This can permanently remove progress and preferences; we cannot remotely recover or erase data held only on your device.
To request deletion of information we hold, email kulliongames@gmail.com with the subject “TinyTorque — Data deletion request”. Describe the records concerned and provide enough information for us to locate them. We may request proportionate verification, but do not require a purchase or a new account. There is no separate Kullion Games player account to close.
Deleting app data does not cancel, refund or erase Google Play purchases; eligible purchases can be restored through the same Google Play account. Google Account, payment and other Google-held records must be managed through Google’s own controls. Deleting local saves does not erase Google Play Games leaderboard or achievement records. Use the Google Play Games deletion controls linked in Section 3 and manage sign-in to prevent unwanted future submissions.
10. Security
Saves and purchase caches use the app’s private Android storage. Access to developer-held support information is limited to the purposes described in this policy. Google handles the security of its purchase and gaming connections. Protect your device, screen lock and account credentials. Private app storage is not a guarantee that all saves have additional game-level encryption or that a compromised device cannot access them.
No storage or transmission system offers absolute security. Contact the privacy address if you suspect an incident involving your information. We handle applicable breach notifications in accordance with the law.
11. Your privacy rights
Subject to the law and applicable exceptions, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction of processing and portability of your personal data. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests for reasons relating to your circumstances, and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing. You may also complain to a competent data-protection authority, including the authority where you live, work or believe an infringement occurred.
For our location, a relevant authority is Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen: https://www.lfd.niedersachsen.de/beschwerde. Contact kulliongames@gmail.com to exercise a right. We respond within applicable legal time limits, normally one month under the GDPR; a legally permitted extension is explained within the first month. Requests are normally free, subject to statutory exceptions. We do not penalise you for exercising a right. Some purely local records cannot be associated with you or accessed remotely by us.
12. Children and younger players
The game does not need a child’s real name, home address, school, date of birth or similar identifying details for ordinary local play. It does not contain third-party advertising. Parents and guardians should supervise purchases and help children avoid sharing identifying information in names, messages or screenshots.
Where parental authorisation is legally required for a feature or processing activity, that authorisation must be obtained before the activity. This notice does not provide it. A parent or guardian who believes that a child has provided personal information inappropriately can contact kulliongames@gmail.com for assistance or deletion, subject to proportionate verification. Store age information and platform controls apply separately.
13. Your choices and automated processing
Purchases and support contact are optional. Local storage is needed to remember saves and preferences; necessary Google Play information is needed to purchase or restore paid content. Google Play Games features require the relevant Google service and authentication; local gameplay is available without using them.
The game calculates results, progress and unlocks using its rules. We do not use it for automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you or to build advertising profiles.
14. This policy page and external links
Opening a policy page hosted on Google Sites, Google Play or another external page connects your browser to that provider. It receives ordinary connection and browser information needed to serve the page and can process service information under its own notice. Google’s policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy. This website activity is separate from the game’s local save data. Contact us for questions about this notice.
15. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when relevant features or information practices change. The “Last updated” date identifies the revision. Any additional notice or consent required by law is provided for the relevant change. For privacy questions about TinyTorque, write to kulliongames@gmail.com or the postal address in Section 1.
