RETAP · Gazda Studio

Privacy Policy

Effective 29 October 2026 · updated 8 November 2026

RETAP: Echo Runner ("the game") is made by Gazda Studio, an independent developer. This page explains what the game collects, why, and how to have it deleted. Contact: gazdastudio@gmail.com.

The short version

• No sign-up, no e-mail, no real name. Your account is an anonymous guest account.
• No ads, no analytics or tracking tools, no advertising ID, no location, no contacts.
• We keep your runs, scores and in-game progress so online features work, and we never sell them.
• You can delete your account in the game at any time (Settings → Delete account).

What is collected

When Online is on in Settings (it is on by default), the game creates an anonymous guest account and sends the server:

• Account ID: a random identifier, not linked to your name, phone number or Google account.
• Player name: given automatically (for example RUNNER-1A2B). You can change it, so please do not use your real name.
• Game data: your runs (the moments you tapped, the mode and the score), so the server can replay and check them, plus your progress, coins, unlocked items, leaderboard scores and the challenge codes you create.
• Usage events: simple notes on how the game is played, such as when it is opened, which screens you visit, how far you get in the tutorial and what caused a crash. They are linked only to your anonymous account ID, are used only to improve the game, and are deleted after 90 days.
• Technical data: like any internet service, our hosting providers see your IP address and the time of each request while delivering it. They keep it in short-lived server logs for security and troubleshooting. We do not use it to identify you.

When Online is off, nothing is sent: the game is played and saved on your device only.

On your device the game stores its settings, your progress, your last run and the key of your guest account. Uninstalling the game removes them.

Why it is used

• To run the online features: the shared coin balance, the shop, daily and weekend events, leaderboards and friend challenges.
• To check that scores are real (every counted run is replayed on our server) and to stop cheating.
• To understand how the game is played and make it better (we use our own simple counters, not third-party analytics tools).

Your player name and scores are shown to other players on leaderboards and on challenges you share.

Who processes it

We do not sell or share your data with anyone for advertising or any other purpose. It is stored and processed only by the services that run the game for us:

• Supabase: the game's database and guest accounts, hosted in the European Union (Ireland).
• Vultr: the server that replays and checks runs, in Frankfurt, Germany.

Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

Notifications

On Android the game can remind you about your daily streak, the Daily tunnel and the Weekend Cup. These reminders are scheduled on your phone; no data is sent for them. You can turn them off in Settings in the game or in your phone's settings.

How long it is kept

Your data is kept while your account exists. When you delete your account, everything linked to it (name, progress, coins, items, runs, scores and challenges) is removed from our database straight away. Server logs that may contain your IP address are discarded automatically within 90 days.

If you uninstall the game without deleting your account, the account stays on the server but can no longer be reached from your device. You can ask us to delete it by e-mail, see below.

Deleting your account

• In the game: Settings → Delete account, then tap again to confirm. This deletes it immediately.
• By e-mail: write to gazdastudio@gmail.com with the subject "RETAP account deletion" and your Player ID (shown at the bottom of Settings). We delete the account within 30 days and reply when it is done.

Your rights

You can ask us what data we hold about your account, to correct it or to delete it, by writing to the address above. If you live in the EU or UK you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. The game does not ask for any personal information.

Changes

If this policy changes (for example when optional in-app purchases are added) we will update this page and its date. Payments, if added, are handled by Google Play; we never see your card details.
