Privacy Policy — Turbo Loop

1. Overview

Turbo Loop is an arcade racing game. It needs no password or email, and never asks for your photos, contacts or location. It has a world ranking for every track (section 3), which stores a driver name and your best race on our servers, it keeps a private backup copy of your game progress there (section 3), it shows advertisements served by Google AdMob (section 4), and it offers optional purchases through Google Play (section 6). The game does not use analytics or crash-reporting services.

2. What is saved on your device

• Game progress. Coins, cars, upgrades, stars and unlocked tracks are saved on your device. Once you have finished a race, a private backup copy is also kept online (section 3).
• Settings. Sound, music and track-edge preferences are saved on your device only.

Uninstalling the game, or clearing its data in your phone's settings, deletes what is on the device.

3. The world ranking and your progress backup

Each track has a ranking of the 100 fastest drivers, and in every race you drive against three of them. To place you on it, the game keeps a small record for you on Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore, services of Google LLC):

• A random user ID created by Firebase the first time you finish a race. It is not your name, email or phone number.
• Your driver name. The game gives you one at first (for example "RACER4821", or the name of your Google Play Games profile) and you can change it at any time in the game's Settings.
• Your best race on each track: its time, the car, colour and upgrades you used, and a recording of the line you drove (your position across the road and your speed around the lap), so that other players can race against it.

Your driver name, best times, car and driving line are public: other players see them on the rankings and race against them in the game. Do not use your full real name if you do not want it shown.

Store sign-in. On Android the game can sign you in with Google Play Games, so the same ranking record comes back if you reinstall the game or change phone. From that sign-in the game receives your player ID and display name there; never your email or password.

Progress backup. Under the same random user ID the game also keeps a copy of your game progress: coins, cars and upgrades, stars, daily-bonus streak, driver name, best races and in-game settings. Unlike the ranking, this copy is private: only your own game can read it, and no other player sees it. It is there so that your progress is not lost and can come back after a reinstall or on a new phone when you are signed in with Google Play Games.

These records are used only for the rankings and for restoring your progress. They are not used for advertising, not sold, and not shared with anyone except Google as the service that stores them.

Deleting your online data

In the game: Settings → Online data → DELETE. This deletes your driver name, your races on every ranking, the backup copy of your progress and your user ID immediately; your progress on the phone stays. If you race again afterwards, a new record is created. You can also ask us to delete it without the game: write to dimrihezi@gmail.com with your driver name and we will delete it within 30 days.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game shows a full-screen advertisement between some races, and an optional video advertisement that you can choose to watch to double the coins of a race. The ads are served by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. To serve and measure them, AdMob collects on its own behalf:

• The device's advertising ID, the device model, operating system version, language, an approximate location derived from the IP address, and ad activity such as which ads were shown and tapped.

Google uses this data to show ads and to limit how often you see the same one, and, where you have agreed to it, to personalize them. We do not receive this data and do not give Google anything else about you.

Your choices. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the game asks for your consent before it shows any ad; to change that choice, open Settings → Ad choices in the game. Everywhere, you can reset or delete the advertising ID and opt out of personalized ads in your phone's settings (Android: Settings → Google → Ads). Google explains its use of advertising data at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in its Privacy Policy.

5. What we do not do

• No password or email is ever requested.
• No access to your photos, camera, microphone, location or contacts.
• No analytics and no crash reporting. The game uses the internet only for the world ranking, the progress backup, the Google Play Games sign-in, purchases through Google Play and the advertisements.

6. Purchases

Coins, cars and upgrades are earned and spent inside the game, and the whole game can be played without paying. Two optional purchases with real money are offered in the game's shop: a one-time Starter Pack (removes the advertisements between races and adds coins) and a Bag of Coins.

Purchases are made through Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Google: we never receive or store your card or other payment details. From Google Play the game receives only a confirmation of the purchase (which item was bought and a purchase reference), which it uses to deliver the item and to give the Starter Pack back after a reinstall. That confirmation is kept on your device; the backup copy of your progress (section 3) records only whether you own the Starter Pack and how many coins you have. Refunds are handled by Google Play under its own rules.

7. Children

Turbo Loop is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
