1. Who manages your data
Blue Hat Forge is the studio responsible for Chrono Chase. You can contact us at the address at the end of this page with questions about privacy, your data or its deletion.
2. Data stored on your device
Story progress, local records, settings, language choice, Cronos, cosmetic items and the stability reserve are stored locally. Story progress is not synchronised with a cloud account.
You can play Story and normal Challenge without creating a competitive account. If you use ads or other connected features, their providers may process the data described below.
3. Account and online weekly challenge
Joining the Weekly Challenge is optional. You can create a guest profile or sign in with Google. The service uses the following data to identify your profile, validate runs, maintain the leaderboard and create ghosts:
- A player identifier, your chosen nickname and your country if you provide it.
- When signing in with Google, your stable Google account identifier (sub). The game service does not store an email address or legal name from that sign-in.
- Distance, run results, replay control inputs, course data, your selected appearance and ghost poses.
- Session credentials and technical authentication data. When you connect, infrastructure services also receive your IP address and the information needed to deliver and protect requests.
4. What other players can see
Your player identifier (UUID), nickname, optional country, rank and distance may appear on the public leaderboard. Runs selected for podium ghosts are shared as a movement replay with the appearance used during the run.
Your sign-in credentials and Google account identifier are not displayed on the leaderboard. Choose a nickname that does not reveal personal information you do not want to publish.
5. Advertising and consent
Google AdMob rewarded videos are voluntary: the game offers 100 Cronos or 2 stability units after you complete the corresponding ad. There are no real-money in-app purchases.
The advertising SDK may process device or advertising identifiers, IP address, ad interactions and diagnostic information to serve and measure ads and prevent fraud. Its operation depends on configuration, region and your consent choices.
Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) presents consent choices where applicable. You can review them in Settings → Privacy options when that entry is available. You can also manage your advertising identifier in your operating system settings. Withdrawing consent affects processing that relies on it and does not itself delete your Weekly Challenge account.
6. Purposes and service providers
We process the data needed to provide the features you request, such as signing in and publishing a Weekly Challenge result. Security and cheat prevention serve our legitimate interest in maintaining fair competition. Where required by law, the use of identifiers and personalised advertising relies on your consent.
The online service uses Railway servers and database hosting, together with S3-compatible object storage for replays and ghosts. Google provides the sign-in, advertising and consent services described here. If you email us, we use your address and message to respond to your request.
These providers describe their processing practices, locations and safeguards for international transfers in their own policies.
7. How long data is kept
Local data remains on your device until you delete it. We retain the competitive profile and its history while maintaining the profile and service, unless deletion is requested or an applicable obligation requires us to retain particular data.
Profiles, results, replays and ghosts are not automatically deleted simply because you sign out or a week ends. Temporary technical authentication data has its own expiry according to its purpose and configuration. Service providers also apply their own retention policies.
8. Managing or deleting your data
Request deletion of my Chrono Chase account
To delete local data, use your operating system’s app storage controls or uninstall the game. Clearing local storage may remove your access to a guest profile; it does not delete that profile’s server data.
Signing out revokes the session but does not delete the profile, results or replays. To request access, correction or deletion of your online account and data, email us, identify Chrono Chase and include your nickname or another identifier that helps us locate your profile. We may request the information needed to verify that the request comes from its owner.
Where applicable, you can exercise rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and withdraw your consent. You can also complain to the relevant data protection authority.
9. Visits to this website
This website uses no cookies and stores nothing in your browser.
To know how many visits it receives we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views in aggregate: which pages are visited, which site visitors come from, their approximate country and the type of device. It builds no profiles, does not identify you and does not follow you across other websites.
Links to Google Play carry a label saying the visit comes from this website. It travels in the link itself and contains no data about you.
10. Family enquiries and policy changes
Chrono Chase is intended for teenagers and adults aged 13 and over.
If you are a parent or guardian with a question about a minor’s data, contact us so we can review the case.
We will update this page if features or data practices change. The date at the top identifies the current version.
