Rail Runner — Privacy Policy

Rail Runner is a game made by Akinware (Akin Akcam, Forstweg 16, 98646 Hildburghausen, Germany · akinakcam@akinware.live). This policy explains what data the game uses. Last updated: October 2026.

Data stored on your device

Your progress (best score, coins, gems, upgrades, unlocked characters, missions, settings) is saved only on your device. We do not run servers, accounts or analytics, and we do not collect your name, e-mail or location.

Advertising (Android app)

The Android app shows ads from Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC). AdMob may collect device identifiers such as the advertising ID, IP address, and information about ad interactions to show, measure and personalise ads and to prevent fraud. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland the app asks for your consent through Google's consent form before personalised ads are shown; you can change your choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. Google's policy: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Purchases (Android app)

Optional in-app purchases are processed by Google Play. We never see your payment details; Google tells the app only which item was bought so it can be unlocked. Google's privacy policy applies.

Leaderboard (Android app, optional)

The high-score leaderboard uses Google Play Games Services. Only when you open the leaderboard or sign in to Play Games does the app send your best score to Google, which shows it with your Play Games profile name and avatar. Play Games is run by Google under its own privacy policy and settings: policies.google.com/privacy.

Web version

The browser version stores progress in your browser's local storage and works offline after the first visit (service worker cache). It shows no ads and offers no purchases. It is hosted by Vercel Inc., which processes technically necessary server log data (such as IP address and time of access) to deliver the site.

Children

Rail Runner is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Deleting your Rail Runner data

Rail Runner has no accounts, so there is nothing for you to sign in to or close. To delete your data:

  1. Game progress: uninstall the app, or open Android Settings → Apps → Rail Runner → Storage → Clear data. In the web version, clear the site data for this website in your browser. This deletes your progress immediately and completely; we keep no copy.
  2. Advertising data: open Android Settings → Google → Ads (or Privacy → Ads) and choose "Delete advertising ID" or "Reset advertising ID". You can also change your ad choices in the game's settings.
  3. Leaderboard score: open the Google Play Games app → Profile → Settings → "Delete Play Games account & data", or remove Rail Runner from your Play Games account.
  4. Anything else: e-mail akinakcam@akinware.live with the subject "Rail Runner data deletion". We answer within 30 days. We hold no personal data ourselves, so we will tell you how to reach Google for data that Google processes.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete and restrict processing of your data and to object to processing. As we hold no personal data ourselves, requests about advertising data are best directed to Google. You may also complain to a data protection authority. Contact: akinakcam@akinware.live.
