Effective date: November 4, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information the mobile game Run Time Clash (Google Play package com.timeclash.game, published by The Gangster) collects, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. If you have any question, write to info.thegangster@gmail.com.
In short: we use the minimum we need to run an online racing game. You choose a player name; your game progress is saved online; purchases are checked so they cannot be faked; rewarded ads play only when you choose to watch one. There is no chat, we do not ask for your real name, email, contacts, photos, microphone or location, and we do not sell your personal information.
Player name (nickname): the name you pick for races. Other players in your race can see it, so please do not use your real name.
Your age: the game asks your age once, in a neutral way. Only the age range (under 13, 13 to 17, or 18 and over) is kept, and only on your device. It is used to choose the right kind of ads and is not sent to our servers.
Game account IDs: a random game account ID created by our game service provider, and a short player code shown in Settings.
Game progress: coins, gems, runners you own, rank points, race results, revival stones, daily gifts and similar game data, saved online so your progress is safe.
Purchase records: when you buy something in the game, Google Play sends us the order number, the item, the purchase time and a purchase token. We use them only to check the purchase with Google and give you the item. We never see your card or payment details.
On Android the game can sign you in with Google Play Games so that your progress comes back if you change or reset your phone. We receive your Play Games player ID and use it only to link your game profile. We do not receive your email address or password.
When you race online, your player name, runner, rank and in-race moves are sent to the other players in that race. To connect the phones, our multiplayer relay processes your device's IP address for the length of the connection.
The game has one kind of ad: a rewarded video that plays only when you tap to watch it (for example, to get revival stones). Ads start only after the age question. Google AdMob may collect your IP address (which can show your general location), device identifiers such as the Android advertising ID and app set ID, how you interact with ads, and diagnostic information, for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention.
Under 13: every ad request is marked as child-directed. Ads are not personalised, are rated for general audiences (G), and the advertising ID is not sent.
13 to 17: ads are not personalised.
18 and over: ads may be personalised with your consent where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, through Google's consent message).
Your sound, music and vibration settings, your age range, tutorial progress and your sign-in session are stored on your phone only.
To run the game and its online races, and to save and restore your progress.
To check purchases and give you what you bought.
To keep the game fair and safe: stopping cheating, fake purchases and abuse.
To show rewarded ads when you choose to watch one.
To answer your messages and requests, and to meet legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for any purpose not described here.
We use these companies to run the game. They process data on our behalf or under their own terms:
Unity Technologies – Unity Gaming Services (Authentication, Cloud Save, Cloud Code, Lobby and Relay): game accounts, online saves, game server logic and online races. Privacy policy: unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
Google – Google Play Games Services (sign-in), Google Play Billing (purchases), Google AdMob and the User Messaging Platform (ads and consent). Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. How Google uses information from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of players and the game.
Run Time Clash is made for a general audience, including children. The game asks every player's age in a neutral way. For players under 13 we collect only what is needed to run the game (a player name and the game account IDs), ads are child-directed and not personalised, and the advertising ID is not sent. The game has no chat and no way to share photos, contacts or other personal information with other players. Parents or guardians can ask us to review or delete their child's data at info.thegangster@gmail.com; we will act on it promptly.
Change your name: Settings → CHANGE NAME.
Ads consent: where Google's consent message applies, Settings → PRIVACY CHOICES lets you change your choice at any time.
Advertising ID: you can reset or delete it in your Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads).
Delete your account: Settings → DELETE ACCOUNT in the game, or follow this page to ask us without the app.
Your profile and game progress are kept while your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, player name, player code, game progress and game sign-in account (including the link to Google Play Games) are deleted. We keep only purchase records (order number, item, date and the internal ID the item was given to) for as long as needed to prevent the same purchase being used twice, to handle refunds and to meet accounting and legal obligations. Short-lived technical logs at our providers are removed by them automatically.
All data the game sends is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS, and DTLS for online races). Game progress and purchases are checked on the server, so they cannot be changed from the phone. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Our providers may process data in countries other than yours, such as the United States and countries in the European Union. They protect it with safeguards required by law, such as standard contractual clauses.
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR and UK GDPR, the California CCPA/CPRA, Brazil's LGPD or India's DPDP Act), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal data, to object to or limit its use, and to withdraw consent. To use these rights, email info.thegangster@gmail.com. We will not treat you differently for using them. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page, and for important changes we will tell you in the game.
