Chromo Rush — Privacy Policy

Updated 2 October 2026 · applies to Chromo Rush 1.1.0 and later

Who we are

Chromo Rush is made and published by Abdulla Alhashmi, an independent game developer ("we", "us"). We decide how the data described in this policy is used and are responsible for it. You can reach us at youtubeabdulla@gmail.com with any question about this policy or about your data.

Summary

Chromo Rush has no accounts, no analytics of its own, no game server and no real-money purchases, and we do not sell your data for money. Your game progress is stored only on your device. The game shows ads delivered through Unity LevelPlay, which fills them from our ad partners Unity Ads and Google AdMob. These partners process some device data, such as your advertising identifier, to show and measure ads. They are asked to personalise ads only if you allow it (and, on iPhone, only if you also allow tracking). See "Advertising" and "Your ad choices".

What the app stores on your device

• Your progress: coins, gems, level, XP, rank, your racer, unlocked cosmetics, battle pass progress, settings, mission and achievement state, win streak and weekly ladder, and the last 30 race results. This lives in the app's private storage and is deleted when you uninstall the app or use Settings → Privacy & data → Reset all data.
• A random guest identifier (g-…) generated on first launch. It contains no personal information and is never sent anywhere.
• The racer name you choose (defaults to "Racer"). It is shown only on your own device.
• Your answer to the "Personalised ads" question, whether you have switched off the ads between races with Remove Ads, and the counters that keep ads spaced out (how many races you have finished, when the last ad between races was shown and how many reward videos you have watched today).

Single player

Chromo Rush is a single-player game: you race computer-controlled racers on your own device. There is no online play, no account and no game server; your moves and race results never leave your device. An ad never interrupts a race: during a race a video only plays if you tap to watch one, and the ad partners then receive the data described in "Advertising" (see below).

Advertising

Chromo Rush shows two kinds of ads:

• Rewarded videos — only when you tap to watch one for the reward named on the button (for example free coins in the Shop, doubled rewards, or continuing from where your ball burst instead of going back to the last checkpoint or to the start). Closing one early simply gives no reward.
• Short ads between races — shown on the way out of a finished race (a race you leave before passing the first obstacle does not count), at least 45 seconds apart. They are never shown during a race or during the tutorial, or once you have used Remove Ads.

The ads are delivered by Unity LevelPlay, the ad mediation service of Unity Technologies (formerly ironSource). For each ad, LevelPlay picks an ad from one of our ad partners: Unity Ads (Unity Technologies) or Google AdMob (Google). Their software in the app collects the data below and sends it to them; we do not receive it. They use it under their own privacy policies:

• Advertising identifier and other device identifiers: on Android, the Google advertising ID (unless you have deleted it in Android settings) and the app set ID; on iPhone, Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA) only if you allow tracking, and the identifier for vendor (IDFV).
• Device information: device model and maker, operating system and version, language, time zone, screen size, network type and mobile carrier, and the app's name and version.
• Ad interactions: which ads were requested, shown, watched to the end, skipped or tapped, and whether an advertised app was later installed.
• Approximate location: estimated from your IP address (roughly country or city). The game never uses GPS and never asks for location permission.
• Diagnostic data about the ad software, such as load times, errors and crashes.

The ad partners use this data to deliver ads, to choose which ads to show, to limit how often you see the same ad, to measure how ads perform (which is how we are paid), and to detect fraud and invalid traffic. If you have not allowed personalised ads, we tell them so and they are asked to show only non-personalised ads, chosen from context such as the game and your approximate location rather than from a profile of you; they still process the data above to deliver, limit, measure and protect the ads. Their policies: Unity (Unity LevelPlay, ironSource and Unity Ads), Google and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

We share data only with these ad partners, only through their software in the app and only for the purposes above, and we never sell it. Each of them is bound by its own privacy policy, its agreement with us and the App Store and Google Play rules to protect that data at least as well as this policy describes.

Ads need an internet connection; the game itself works offline. If an ad cannot be loaded, you simply keep playing. We do not choose the individual ads that the partners show; if you see an ad that seems inappropriate, please report it (see "Reporting an ad").

Your ad choices

• Personalised ads. Once, the first time you open the game (right after the Play and loading screens), it asks whether ads may be personalised: No thanks or Yes, personalise. The game plays the same whatever you answer, you see the same number of ads, and neither answer earns a reward; with No thanks you still see ads, but they are not personalised. You can change your answer, and so withdraw your consent, at any time with the Personalised ads switch in Settings; it applies to the ads loaded after the change.
• Tracking on iPhone. After that question, iOS asks once whether Chromo Rush may track your activity across other companies' apps and websites (App Tracking Transparency). If you choose Ask App Not to Track, the ad partners cannot use Apple's advertising identifier. You can change it at any time in the iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• Android advertising ID. You can delete or reset it in your phone's settings (usually Settings → Privacy → Ads or Settings → Google → Ads).
• Remove Ads. In the Shop you can switch off the ads between races with gems you earn by playing; it costs no real money. Rewarded videos stay available, but they only ever play when you choose to watch one. Remove Ads is kept in your progress on the device, so Reset all data or uninstalling the app also resets it.
• Data the ad partners hold. We cannot see or delete it. To access or delete it, contact Unity or Google through the policies linked above; they recognise you by your advertising identifier.
• US state privacy laws. Some US state laws call giving ad partners your data for personalised ads a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. When you answer No thanks, or turn the Personalised ads switch off, the game sends the ad partners (through Unity LevelPlay) the US "do not sell or share my personal information" opt-out signal together with the European "no consent to personalised ads" signal. You still see ads, but they are not personalised. When you answer Yes, personalise, or turn the switch on, the game sends consent and no opt-out instead. Your current choice is sent at every launch before any ad loads, and again whenever you change the switch.
• Report an ad. Settings → Report an ad, or e-mail us; see "Reporting an ad" below.
• Everything on your device. Use Settings → Privacy & data → Reset all data to erase your progress, settings and ad choices from this device, or uninstall the app to remove everything, including what the ad partners' software keeps in the app.

Reporting an ad

If you see an ad that seems inappropriate, misleading or broken, use Settings → Report an ad (right below Personalised ads; the one-time "Personalised ads" screen has the same link). It opens your e-mail app with a report to youtubeabdulla@gmail.com that already contains the details of the last ad shown since you opened the game (reward video or ad between races, the ad network, the ad's creative id, the ad unit and the time), the app version and your device's operating system; if no ad has been shown since you opened the game, the report says so. Add what you saw (a screenshot helps) and send it; nothing is sent until you send the e-mail yourself. You can also simply e-mail that address with the game's name, the time and, if you can, a screenshot. We use a report, and the e-mail address it comes from, only to look into the ad (for example to have it blocked through the ad partner) and to reply to you.

How long data is kept

• Game data on your device is kept until you use Settings → Privacy & data → Reset all data or uninstall the app. We do not have a copy: there is no game server.
• Ad reports and support e-mails, with the e-mail address they come from, are kept only as long as we need them to deal with your message and are deleted within 12 months; you can ask us to delete yours sooner at any time.
• The ad partners keep the data they collect for the periods set out in their own privacy policies (linked above), and you can ask them to delete it.

Your rights

You can withdraw your consent to personalised ads at any time (Settings → Personalised ads, and on iPhone the tracking setting), erase the game's data with Reset all data, and ask us at any time what data we hold about you (normally only an e-mail you sent us), or to correct or delete it: e-mail youtubeabdulla@gmail.com. We answer within one month. Depending on where you live, you may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Nothing sold for real money

Nothing in Chromo Rush is sold for real money, and the game contains no in-app purchase software. Coins, gems and cosmetics are earned by playing, including by choosing to watch rewarded videos.

Children

Chromo Rush's content is suitable for all ages (App Store 4+, Everyone / PEGI 3), and the game is intended for players aged 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13. We tell the ad partners that the game is not child-directed. The game never asks for a real name, age, e-mail address or location, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Permissions

The game uses network access only for ads. The Android version declares the advertising ID permission used by the ad partners, and on iPhone the game asks once for permission to track (App Tracking Transparency). No camera, microphone, contacts, device location or photo access is used.

Changes to this policy

When the app changes how it handles data, we update this page before that version is released; the date at the top shows the latest change.
