What we keep

• A random device number. It is made up by the game. It is not your name and it can't find you.
• Your game save: coins, cars, stars and records. It's a backup, so your progress comes back if the browser forgets it.
• Your run results: score, speed, how long a run lasted, hearts lost. They help us make the game better.
• Play stats: which game buttons you pressed and which screens and modes you played, counted in seconds from when you opened the game (never the time of day). They show us what is easy to find and what is not. They also include how far you got in the tutorial, why each heart was lost, how many seconds the game took to open, and how many errors the game had (only a count, never what the error said).
• Your Daily Shift score with a made-up name, like "Swift Otter 42", for the Daily board.

You are the boss of it

In the game, open Settings:

• Download my data gives you everything we keep, as a file.
• Delete my cloud data deletes it from our server. The game on your device stays.
• Show me on the Daily board turns your made-up name on or off.
• Share play stats stops the play stats (the buttons, screens and run details) being kept or sent.
• Cloud backup stops the game sending anything from this device.

How long we keep it

• Daily Shift replays: 30 days.
• Play stats: 90 days. A copy of run results and play stats, with your random device number, is kept by Cloudflare for about 3 months for our charts. Deleting your data removes everything else at once; this copy can't be removed early and is gone within 3 months.
• Run results: 180 days, then only totals.
• If a device isn't seen for 2 years, everything about it is deleted.

Ads (coming to the iPhone app, not on yet)

Today there are no ads and no ad code in the game (the CrazyGames version is the exception: see below). This is what we plan for later, so you can read it first. We will update this page before anything changes.

• Only in the iPhone app. Never on the web.
• Only rewarded ads: you tap to watch one, to get a gift such as double coins. No banners, and no ad pops up by itself while you play.
• The ads would come from Google AdMob. It may process your device's advertising ID, rough location, your IP address and how you use the ad, to show and measure ads. We are not given your name, and we don't send it your save.
• In the EU and UK you would be asked for your choice first, and you can change it later in Settings.
• On iPhone, Apple asks if the app may track you. If you say no, you still get ads, just not personal ones.
• No ads for children. If the app doesn't know you are an adult (it follows Apple's age rules), you see none.
• No ads in the Daily Shift, the boards, the tutorial or your first runs.
• A group of players (about 1 in 10) never sees ads, so we can tell if they hurt the game.
• A one-time Remove ads purchase would turn them off.

On CrazyGames

The game on CrazyGames keeps anonymous play stats: your sessions and runs (tutorial steps, each run's result, the mode, your device type and the game's version), with a random player number. No email, contacts or ad ID. It is kept for the times above: play stats 90 days, run results 180 days. There is no cloud save there.

The game's own boards (the Daily board and the Rush, Classic and Tower boards) work there too, and they are the same boards as on the website and in the app. Your score and your name appear on them, for everyone to see. Your name is your CrazyGames username if you are logged into CrazyGames (it is sent to our server for this), otherwise a random one, like "Swift Otter 42". Scores stay on the boards; the replay kept with a score is deleted after 30 days, as above.

If you are logged into CrazyGames, the game also sends your Rush best score to the CrazyGames leaderboard (CrazyGames' privacy policy applies to that).

To turn it off, open Settings and switch off Share play stats: nothing is sent after that, no play stats and no board scores. CrazyGames shows ads through its SDK under its own privacy policy, which also covers their site.

For parents

The only identifier is a random number in a first-party cookie (in the app: in the app's own storage). It is used to keep the save and the Daily board working and fair. We don't build profiles, sell data or share it with anyone. There are no third-party scripts, ads or analytics. The data is stored with Cloudflare in eastern North America. Because it can't identify you, you can still download or delete all of it from Settings wherever you live.
