Crestrunner is a single-player racing game. It has no player accounts, publisher backend, cloud save, multiplayer, analytics, or crash-reporting service. Game progress and settings are stored on your device.
The Android and iPhone apps use Google AdMob to show non-personalised advertisements, and offer an optional Premium subscription that removes advertisements. Premium is sold through Google Play Billing on Android and through Apple's App Store on iPhone. Google's advertising services can send data from your device to Google, and the store you buy through processes the purchase. The browser build has no advertisements and no purchase flow.
Crestrunner stores the following in its private app storage:
The app also keeps a rotated local backup of the game profile so a partial write does not
erase progress. These records use keys beginning crestrunner. and are not sent to Binary
Data Technology.
While the game runs, it reads device orientation when tilt steering is selected, gamepad state, window size, and basic graphics capability. Those readings are used on the device for controls, layout, and quality selection. The renderer name is not stored; only the selected quality tier is kept.
Both apps use the Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google's User Messaging Platform. Crestrunner asks the consent framework for permission before it initializes advertising. If that process fails or ads may not be requested, the game continues without ads.
Every ad request made by Crestrunner is marked non-personalised. The consent request also uses Google's under-age-of-consent treatment because the app does not collect a verified age. When the consent framework makes privacy options available, they can be reopened from Settings > Advertising privacy choices.
Depending on device settings and region, Google may receive data such as the advertising ID (on Android), IP-derived coarse location, device and operating-system information, diagnostics, and ad views or interactions. Google controls its processing under its own policies:
Crestrunner may show a full-screen ad after a race result. It does not show one during a race, Training, a Championship, a retry, the first few races, to a Premium owner, without consent, more than once in three minutes, or above the local daily cap. Rewarded ads, when available, are optional and grant only the reward described on screen.
On iPhone, Crestrunner does not track you. It never asks for permission to track under Apple's App Tracking Transparency, so iOS does not give the device's advertising identifier (IDFA) to Crestrunner or to Google, and advertising is not linked to your activity in other companies' apps or websites.
Both apps offer Premium, which removes advertisements, as an optional auto-renewing yearly subscription: through Google Play on Android, and through the App Store on iPhone. Earlier Android versions sold it as a one-time purchase, which still counts for anyone who bought it. Neither gives any gameplay advantage. A purchase on one store does not carry over to the other, because Crestrunner has no account that could link them.
The store processes the payment. Binary Data Technology does not receive card or billing details. The app receives the product identifier, purchase state, and transaction identifiers needed to grant or restore Premium, to see whether a subscription is still active, and to detect a refund or revocation. It does not receive your payment method or billing address. The entitlement follows the purchasing Google account (Android) or Apple Account (iPhone). Google's handling of the payment is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and Google Play terms; Apple's by the Apple Privacy Policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/) and the App Store terms.
The release declares internet and network-state access, Google Play Billing, advertising ID and Privacy Sandbox advertising permissions, vibration, wake-lock, and foreground-service permissions. Some are added by Google or Capacitor libraries. Crestrunner does not request access to the camera, microphone, precise location, contacts, calendar, or files outside its own app storage.
The Android app blocks cleartext HTTP traffic. It does not operate a publisher server and does not send game progress to Binary Data Technology.
The iPhone app asks for no system permissions. Tilt steering reads the device's motion sensors only while you have tilt selected, on the device. The iPhone app's own privacy manifest declares no tracking and no collected data; the Google advertising SDKs declare their own data use, which Apple's App Store privacy label for Crestrunner reflects.
Crestrunner is designed for people aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. Store age ratings, such as 4+ on the App Store, describe the game's content, not the audience it is designed for. It has no account or verified-age system.
Age question. The first time the Android or iPhone app opens, it asks for the player's year of birth. Only the result (under 13, or 13 and over) is kept, and only in the app's storage on the device; it is never sent anywhere. If the answer means the player may be under 13, the app runs in an under-13 mode: the advertising SDK is never started, so no advertisement is requested and nothing is sent to Google for advertising, and Premium cannot be bought. The game itself is complete in that mode.
For everyone else, as a conservative protection, all advertising is non-personalised and the Google consent request is tagged for under-age-of-consent treatment. A parent or guardian can remove the app or clear its data at any time; clearing the app's data also clears the age answer, so the question is asked again.
Local game data remains until it is reset in the app, cleared through Android settings, or removed by uninstalling the app (on iPhone, deleting the app removes all of its data). The data deletion page explains each option and what it does not remove.
Google retains advertising, consent, and purchase records under its own policies, and Apple retains App Store purchase records under its own. Clearing Crestrunner's local progress does not cancel, refund, or delete a Google Play or App Store transaction; cancel a subscription in the store you bought it from.
You can reset game-owned progress and settings inside Crestrunner, clear the app's storage in Android, uninstall it, reopen advertising privacy choices when Google makes that control available, delete or reset the Android advertising ID, and contact the publisher using the address at the top of this policy. On iPhone, the equivalent controls are deleting the app, and Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, where Crestrunner never appears because it never asks to track.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, withdraw consent, or complain to a data-protection authority. Google provides its own controls for data it processes as an independent provider.
The effective date and policy version are updated when this policy changes. A material change to data practices will be reflected here before the corresponding app release.
