Sabet Khan ("us", "we", or "our") operates the Ampoule Runner mobile application (the "Service" or "Game"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
We are committed to protecting user privacy, particularly that of children. This Privacy Policy has been constructed to comply fully with the Google Play Developer Policies, COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), CCPA/CPRA (California Consumer Privacy Act), and other global data protection standards.
1. Information Collection and Use
For a better experience while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information or we may collect specific device information automatically. The information that we request will be retained on your device and is not collected by us in any way unless explicitly stated.
A. Locally Stored Data (Offline-First Privacy)
Our Game is designed with an offline-first architecture to protect user privacy. The following gameplay data is stored locally on your device via secure SharedPreferences and local application storage:
- Game Performance Statistics: High scores, total run distances (meters), and coin balances collected during gameplay.
- Virtual Shop State: Unlocked character skins (beige, green, pink, purple, yellow) and equipped states.
- Energy Balance: Current active energy cells (unlimited storage architecture).
- Audio Preferences: On/off toggles for Background Music (BGM) and Sound Effects (SFX).
This data is completely local to your device and is not transmitted, mirrored, or uploaded to any remote cloud servers operated by Sabet Khan.
B. Third-Party Services & Integrated SDKs
To support essential game features (such as secure processing of in-app billing) and potential future features (such as analytics and advertising), our Game integrates standard, Google-approved Software Development Kits (SDKs). These third parties may collect information used to identify you in accordance with their privacy policies:
-
Google Play Services: Used for player authentication, cloud saves (if active), achievement tracking, and leaderboard integration.
Google Play Services Privacy Policy
-
Google Play Billing (In-App Purchases): Used to securely handle virtual coin purchases, premium energy refills, or character unlocks. All transaction processing, credit card details, and payment histories are managed securely by Google. We never see, store, or transmit your credit card or financial details.
Google Play Payments Policy
-
Future Advertising Networks (e.g., Google AdMob): While the Game may launch without active third-party ads, we reserve the right to integrate Google AdMob or other Google-certified ad networks in future updates. These SDKs may collect your device's Android Advertising ID (GAID), IP address, and cookie data to display personalized or non-personalized ads.
Google AdMob Privacy Policy
2. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Families Policy Compliance)
We take children's privacy extremely seriously and strictly adhere to Google Play’s Families Policy and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
- Target Audience: Ampoule Runner is built as a general audience endless runner game, suitable for players of all ages.
- No Child Data Collection: We do not knowingly collect, request, or share personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
- AdMob & COPPA Safeguards (Future Ads): If we display ads in future updates, we will configure the AdMob SDK to serve only non-personalized, family-safe, and COPPA-compliant advertisements to players who indicate they are under the age of 13 (or the applicable digital age of consent in their country). We will strictly block the collection of Android Advertising IDs (GAID) and transmission of telemetry for these users.
3. Data Protection Rights (GDPR, CCPA & LGPD)
Depending on your country of residence, you have specific legal rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access & Portability: You have the right to request a copy of any local data or telemetry collected. Since all game progress is stored locally, you can view your data directly via the in-game settings and shop panels.
- Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can delete all locally cached game data, purchase states, high scores, and audio preferences at any time by clearing the Game’s storage cache inside your Android System Settings (
Settings > Apps > Ampoule Runner > Storage > Clear Data).
- Account Deletion (Google Play Console Compliance): Ampoule Runner does not use custom, proprietary user accounts. However, if you have linked the Game to your Google Play Games Services account, you can revoke access and delete your play data at any time via your Google Account Settings (
Google Settings > Connected Apps > Ampoule Runner > Disconnect / Delete Play Games Profile).
- Right to Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: If personalized ads are active in future updates, you can opt-out at any time via your Android System Ads settings (
Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization or Reset Advertising ID).
4. Security of Data
The security of your data is of paramount importance to us. Because we utilize Google's secure billing system and do not run independent database servers, your game state enjoys the high-level security standard of the Android operating system and Google Play Services. While no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, we take every commercial precaution to protect your data.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to maintain compliance with evolving store policies and legal regulations. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
