Privacy Policy
We keep this simple: we collect as little as possible, and only to run and improve the game.
The short version: Tap Miner Rush does not ask you to create an account and does not ask for your name, email, contacts, photos or location. Your game progress is saved on your device. The game shows ads through Google AdMob, sells optional in-app purchases through Google Play and the Apple App Store, and uses a few other Google and Apple services that process limited technical information so the game can work and stay up to date.
This Privacy Policy explains how the Tap Miner Rush mobile game (the "Game"), published by the Tap Miner Rush team ("we", "us" or "our"), handles information when you download, install or play it, or visit this website. By using the Game you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.
1. Information we collect
Information stored on your device
Your progress — coins, gems, upgrades, items, puzzle pieces, unlocked characters, best depths, missions, achievements, daily rewards, the in-app purchases you have made, and settings — is stored locally on your device. We do not receive a copy of it. Uninstalling the Game or clearing its app data deletes it.
Information collected automatically
When the Game connects to the internet, our service providers may automatically process limited technical information, such as:
- App instance or installation identifiers (for example, a Firebase installation ID);
- Device model, operating system version, language and region settings;
- App version;
- Ad interactions and diagnostics collected by the advertising SDK;
- IP address, which may be used to estimate an approximate (country or city-level) location;
- Your device's advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID; on iOS the IDFA is not accessed, as the Game does not ask for tracking permission) — see Section 3.
Information you give us
If you contact us by email or through our contact page, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, device details and the content of your message.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect your name, phone number, contacts, photos, precise GPS location, or payment card details. In-app purchases are processed entirely by Google Play (Android) or the Apple App Store (iPhone and iPad); we only receive confirmation of what was bought, which the Game stores on your device.
2. How we use information
- To run the Game and save your progress on your device;
- To deliver game configuration and balance updates without requiring a new download;
- To tell you when a newer version of the Game is available and to show the in-app rating prompt;
- To show ads, including optional rewarded ads you choose to watch;
- To deliver and restore in-app purchases;
- To respond to your questions and support requests;
- To comply with legal obligations and protect the Game against fraud or abuse.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Third-party services
The Game relies on the following third-party services. Each provider processes information under its own privacy policy.
| Service | Purpose | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Remote Config, Installations) | Delivers game settings and update information | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Google Play Services (In-App Review, In-App Updates, Play Games leaderboards) | Rating prompt, update notifications and online leaderboards (Android) | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google AdMob | Rewarded and interstitial ads | policies.google.com/technologies/ads |
| Google Play Billing | In-app purchases on Android (gem packs, premium drills, Remove Ads) | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Apple App Store (StoreKit) | In-app purchases and the rating prompt on iPhone and iPad | apple.com/legal/privacy |
Advertising
The Game shows ads through Google AdMob: rewarded ads you choose to watch (for example, to continue a run or open an extra chest) and occasional ads between runs. Players who have made any in-app purchase do not see ads between runs. Our ad partner may use your device's advertising ID and similar information to show and measure ads. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before personalised ads are shown. On Android you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads under Settings › Google › Ads (or Settings › Privacy › Ads). On iPhone and iPad the Game does not request tracking permission, so ads there are not personalised using your device's advertising identifier.
4. Sharing of information
We share information only:
- With the service providers listed above, so they can perform services for us;
- When required by law, regulation, legal process or a valid government request;
- To protect the rights, safety and property of our players, ourselves or others;
- As part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in which case this policy continues to apply to your information.
5. Data retention
Progress saved on your device stays there until you uninstall the Game or clear its data. Information processed by our service providers is kept according to their retention settings — for example, advertising data is kept according to Google's retention policies. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to help you and for our records.
6. Children's privacy
Tap Miner Rush is a casual game suitable for a general audience, but it is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
7. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live (for example, the Philippines under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, the EU/UK under the GDPR, or California under the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, and to withdraw consent. You can:
- Delete all locally stored game data by uninstalling the Game or clearing its app data (in-app purchases can be restored afterwards from Settings › Restore purchases);
- Reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in your device settings;
- Ask us to access or delete any information we hold about you by contacting us. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, and our service providers use industry-standard security such as encryption in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add new features to the Game. We will post the updated policy on this page and change the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes may also be announced in the Game.
