Privacy Policy for Dodge

Last updated:

Dodge (also called Dodge Chaos) can be played offline. Your progress is stored on your device. The global leaderboard and rewarded advertisements are optional online features. This policy explains the information used by these features and how to manage it.

1. Who we are

Dodge is developed by Long River Studio. For questions about this policy or the data we manage, contact longriverstudio@gmail.com.

2. Information stored on your device

The game stores settings, local high scores, campaign progress, ranks, statistics, unlocked cosmetics, Shards and bonus lives on your device. If you join the online leaderboard, a randomly generated login token is also stored on your device so that the game can access your leaderboard profile. You do not need to provide an email address or password to join.

Local records are not automatically uploaded to the leaderboard. Device or operating-system backup settings may also affect how local app data is backed up.

3. Optional global leaderboard

When you join, our online service stores your chosen nickname, a pseudonymous player identifier and profile creation information. Your identifier is linked to your leaderboard profile; it is not a request for your real name. Please do not use your real name, email address or other contact details as your nickname.

While you have a leaderboard profile, the game may create online run records containing identifiers, timestamps, difficulty, game/ruleset version and the Daily challenge date where applicable. These records help validate results and prevent cheating. A score is submitted when you choose Share score online. Submitted results include the score, difficulty, chaos level and run duration. Your nickname, ranking and listed best results are public.

We use this information to operate and secure the leaderboard. The service also uses request-limiting information, including values derived from IP addresses, to prevent abuse. Hosting providers may process IP addresses and other connection or security logs.

4. Optional rewarded advertisements

Dodge uses Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads for optional rewarded advertisements. A completed rewarded ad can provide Campaign bonus lives and Collection Shards together. You can play without watching ads.

Google's advertising and consent services may process device and advertising identifiers, IP addresses, device information, app or ad interactions and diagnostic information. These are used for advertising, measurement, service operation and fraud prevention. An IP address may be used to estimate a general location. Personalization depends on your choices and the applicable settings.

Where applicable, Google's consent form provides choices about data use. The game includes an Ad privacy choices control in Settings for managing available advertising privacy options. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID through Android settings. Changing these choices does not delete your leaderboard profile.

5. Service providers

Third-party providers describe their own processing and retention practices in their privacy information.

6. Deletion, retention and your choices

To delete your online profile, open Highscores → Global → Delete profile in Dodge and confirm while connected to the internet. This removes your profile, nickname, online scores and associated run records from our active leaderboard database, and removes the leaderboard login from your device. Local high scores and game progress remain.

Deleting or uninstalling the app alone does not request deletion of the online profile. If you no longer have access to it, contact us for help; we may need information to verify that the profile is yours.

Local data remains until it is reset, cleared or removed. Online profile and score data is kept to provide the leaderboard until deleted by you or removed through administration. Limited security, abuse-prevention and administrative records, and provider logs, may remain separately for their operational purposes.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, object to or restrict processing, or request portability. Contact us to make a request. You may also contact your local data-protection authority, such as the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).

7. Children and personal information

The leaderboard does not ask for a child's real name, age, address or contact details. Players should use a nickname that does not identify them. Advertising services may process information as described above. If you believe a child has shared identifying information through a nickname, please contact us so we can investigate and help remove it.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this page when the game's features or data practices change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
