Privacy Policy for "Hammer the Runner"

Last Updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Hammer the Runner handles information during gameplay. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe gaming experience.

In short: We do not sell your data. We do not collect sensitive personal information (like phone numbers or physical addresses). We use third-party services only for essential gameplay features.

1. Third-Party Services and Data Collection

To provide online features, the game utilizes the following third-party services:

A. Google Play Games Services (PGS)

We use PGS for initial authentication, unlocking achievements, and managing global leaderboards. This data is stored and managed by Google.

B. Talo (Backend Services)

We use Talo to manage the login system, synchronize game progress across different devices (Cloud Save), and handle real-time leaderboards. Talo stores:

Unique User ID (automatically assigned or linked via PGS).
Gameplay statistics (e.g., high scores, collected items, level progress).
Technical device data (e.g., device model) for debugging and optimization purposes.

2. Purpose of Data Processing

The collected data is used exclusively to:

Allow access to your player profile.
Maintain an accurate global leaderboard.
Ensure your progress is saved and recoverable if you reinstall the game.

3. Security and Data Retention

Your data is stored securely through Google's and Talo's infrastructure. We do not store passwords in plain text or any payment information.

4. Your Rights

You may request the deletion of your game data at any time by contacting us via email or by disconnecting your Google Play Games profile from your device settings.

5. Contact Information

If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact the developer at: pastosworlds@gmail.com
