Privacy Policy — ROUTE RUSH

Last updated: 2026-08-26 Applies to: Android app net.routerush.game


🔴 Rule for editing this document

It must not differ from what the app actually does — not by a single line.

An earlier version stated "no ads, no ad SDK, no permissions requested"

while the app already shipped an advertising SDK. A policy that describes

the app as more privacy-friendly than it is is still a false statement.

When an SDK is added or removed, this file and PLAY_DATA_SAFETY.md

are updated in the same commit.


1. At a glance

Game progress and recordsStored only on your device
Server required to playNone. The game works fully offline
Account / sign-inNone
AdvertisingYes — rewarded ads, only when you choose to watch
Data processing for ads and analyticsYes (sections 3 and 4)
PurchasesNone

2. Stored on your device only

To let you continue where you left off, the following is saved in the app's storage (localStorage) on your device. It is not sent to our servers.

Uninstalling the app removes all of this.

Music you add yourself

If you choose a music file in Settings, it is stored on your device (IndexedDB) only and is never uploaded.


3. Advertising — Google AdMob

This app shows rewarded ads.

Forced adsNone. No interstitial or banner ads are used
If you never watch an adEvery feature of the game remains available

What the ad SDK may process

Google may process the following to serve, measure, and protect ads:

coarse location)

Google processes this as an advertising provider. We do not collect or store it ourselves.

Google's practices: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Your choices

required, a consent screen appears when the app starts. You can change your choice at any time via [Privacy options] in the app's Settings. (This menu is hidden in regions where it does not apply.)


4. Analytics — Google Analytics for Firebase

We collect usage statistics to improve the game.

🔴 Nothing is stored before consent

Consent is determined by Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), which passes the result directly to the analytics SDK (Consent Mode). The default state before consent is denied, so no personally identifying data is stored.

The app does not turn this on or off itself — a single authority avoids conflicting signals.

Ad consent and analytics consent are separate. You may decline ads while allowing analytics, or the reverse.

What is collected

Event records describing how the game is used:

`` app open · first open game start · complete · fail · retry daily challenge start · complete share opened · share completed ad offered · started · completed language changed · settings opened ``

The values attached to each event are restricted to:

`` mode · level · result · score · turns · stars language · is_new_record · version · streak reason (failure code) · bonus · retries ``

🔴 Never collected

`` Name · email · phone number · address · contacts Any free text you type Raw advertising ID · Android ID · IMEI · MAC address Any persistent identifier we generate ourselves ``

The app code contains an allow-list; anything not on it is not sent.

🔴 Advertising ID collection is disabled on the analytics side (google_analytics_adid_collection_enabled = false). The advertising ID is used for ads (AdMob) only, never for analytics.

Firebase Analytics may also process device and app information together with an automatically generated app instance ID. Details: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

6. Retention and deletion

DataHow to remove it
On-device progressUninstall the app, or Settings → "Erase all records and city"
Advertising IDAndroid Settings → Privacy → Ads
Analytics dataContact us using the address below

Retention periods

WhatKept for
On-device progressUntil you delete it (it never leaves the device)
Analytics data2 months — we set Firebase Analytics retention to its minimum
Advertising identifierWe do not store it (the ad provider handles it under its own policy)

We do not hold information that identifies you, so we cannot act on a person-specific deletion request. Instead we provide a way to turn analytics collection off (section 4).

To request deletion, email the address in section 9 and say which app (ROUTE RUSH) the request is about.


7. Children

This game contains no violence, horror, gambling, chat, user-generated content, or purchases.

Because it includes advertising and analytics, it is not distributed in the Designed for Families programme. The target age range is shown according to Google Play's content rating process.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your region).


8. Third parties

We do not provide personal information to third parties ourselves.

Advertising and analytics SDKs mean Google processes data under its own policies.
