Privacy Policy
Effective August 14, 2026. This policy explains how TENSION: Signal Run handles information.
Information used by the game
- Scores and gameplay: gate count, survival time, and personal-best information.
- Game Center identity: Game Center player identifier and display name are used to authenticate leaderboard submissions.
- Regional leaderboard information: device region code and an optional city entered by you. TENSION does not request or collect GPS coordinates.
- Local preferences: personal best, saved city, and the Remove Ads entitlement are stored on the device.
Where leaderboard data is stored
Apple Game Center stores the worldwide gate score. For the in-game world, country, and city rankings, Apple CloudKit stores your Game Center display name, a one-way hash of the Game Center player identifier, region code, optional city, best gate count, best survival time, and last-update date in a public leaderboard database.
This information is used only to operate and rank the leaderboards. Other players can see the display name, score, country code, and optional city shown in those rankings.
Advertising and consent
The free version uses Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform. Depending on your region, consent choices, device settings, and ad availability, Google and its advertising partners may process device identifiers, IP-derived approximate location, ad interactions, product interactions, advertising data, diagnostics, and other information needed to deliver, measure, secure, and improve ads.
Where required, the app presents Google's consent form before requesting ads and provides Privacy Choices inside the Remove Ads screen. TENSION does not request App Tracking Transparency permission or direct access to Apple's advertising identifier. You can permanently disable interstitial ads with the one-time Remove Ads purchase.
Any third-party service provider that receives data from the app is required to provide the same or equivalent protection described in this policy and required by applicable law.
Google's own privacy practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy.
Purchases
Remove Ads purchases are processed by Apple through StoreKit. The developer does not receive your payment-card or bank-account details. Apple provides the app only with the information needed to verify and restore the entitlement.
Retention and deletion
Local data remains until you delete the app or replace the relevant setting. Game Center and purchase records are retained by Apple under Apple's policies. The regional CloudKit leaderboard keeps one current best-score record per Game Center player.
To request deletion of your regional leaderboard record, email marek.rolko@gmail.com and include your Game Center display name and optional city. Requests will be verified before deletion. You can change your consent choices in the app whenever the Privacy Choices option is required and available.
Children and changes
TENSION is a general-audience arcade game and is not directed specifically to children. The policy may be updated when the app or its service providers change. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are published.
