Nitro Racer: game-specific privacy
Nitro Racer uses local saves and Google AdMob with family advertising protections. Optional Firebase usage and crash reporting stays off unless an adult explicitly enables it; Firebase is not initialised for children or unknown ages. The billing-enabled build offers optional Google Play gold packs; Google handles payment and any parental approval. There is no Play Games sign-in. The game-specific policy explains the current build and takes precedence over descriptions of other games below.
Read Nitro Racer's privacy policy1. Introduction & Scope
Welcome to SouMoster ("we", "our", or "us"). We build enjoyable, accessible, and high-quality mobile games and applications published worldwide on the Google Play Store and related platforms. This Privacy Policy applies to all of our current and future games, applications, betas, updates, and our official website located at https://sou-moster.vercel.app.
We are staunch advocates for digital privacy, transparency, and player autonomy. This Privacy Policy provides clear, intelligible, and legally comprehensive disclosures regarding how we collect, process, share, protect, and retain personal information when you download, install, play our games, or interact with our services.
This policy has been specifically authored to comply with the highest international standards, including:
- The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR.
- The ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2).
- The Google Play Developer Program Policies, specifically the Data Safety section, Families Policy, and Account/Data Deletion mandates.
- The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States.
- US State Privacy Laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA).
2. Privacy at a Glance
We believe privacy policies should be straightforward. Here is an executive summary of our commitments:
Core gameplay works 100% offline without requiring an active internet connection or cloud account.
Our games do not access your camera, microphone, contacts, location GPS, or photos.
All optional in-app purchases are handled exclusively by Google Play. We never see or hold your credit card data.
European players are served a certified Consent Management Platform (Google UMP) to choose between personalized or contextual ads.
3. Data Controller Information
For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR Article 4(7)), UK GDPR, and applicable data protection legislation, the Data Controller responsible for your personal data is:
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise any statutory rights, or require assistance with data deletion, please contact us at soumoster@gmail.com.
4. Information We Collect
We practice data minimization: we collect only information that is strictly necessary to operate our games, diagnose crashes, protect against cheating, process purchases, and monetize free gameplay via compliant advertising.
A. Automatically Collected Telemetry & Diagnostics
When you launch and play our games with internet access enabled, our analytics and crash diagnostics SDKs (Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics) automatically record:
- Device Specifications: Device model, manufacturer, Android OS build and API level, system language, screen resolution, GPU renderer, and RAM availability (crucial for maintaining 60fps performance and preventing stutter on older chipsets).
- Network & General Location: Approximate location at the country or city level derived from IP address (IP addresses are discarded or truncated and never linked to permanent user records). We never collect GPS or precise geolocation.
- Diagnostic Crash Logs: Stack traces, ANR (Application Not Responding) timestamps, memory footprint at time of crash, and app version number.
B. Gameplay & Progression Data
To provide game mechanics, track missions, and enable leaderboards:
- Local Save Files: High scores, unlocked characters and cosmetics, virtual currencies, collectibles, and campaign or mode progression are stored locally on your device storage by default.
- Google Play Games Services: If you choose to link your Google Play Games account, your public Gamer ID, avatar, and high score entries are transmitted to Google Play Games servers to power global leaderboards and achievements.
C. Identifiers Used for Advertising
Our ad partners (Google AdMob) may access the Google Advertising ID (GAID / AAID) subject to user consent:
- In the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, personalized ads and GAID collection are strictly conditional upon explicit opt-in consent gathered through the certified Consent Management Platform.
- If consent is denied or if the device is identified as belonging to a child, only contextual, non-personalized ads are requested, and the advertising ID is used solely for frequency capping, anti-fraud, and ad delivery verification.
D. Inquiries & Support Communications
If you contact our support desk at soumoster@gmail.com:
- We receive your email address, your name or handle (if provided in your email client), the contents of your message, and any attached diagnostic screenshots or log snippets you provide.
- This information is used solely to troubleshoot your inquiry, resolve bugs, or process data subject requests, and is never shared or reused for marketing.
5. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
Under Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), every processing activity involving personal data of individuals located within the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), or United Kingdom must be justified by an established legal basis.
Below is our comprehensive legal basis mapping matrix:
| Purpose of Processing | Data Categories | GDPR Legal Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Core game functionality, mission progression & local saving | Gameplay stats, score, unlocked cosmetics, virtual currencies | Art. 6(1)(b) Contract Necessary to execute the Terms of Service |
| In-app purchases (virtual currency packs, cosmetics, ad-free upgrades) | Google Play purchase token, order ID, product SKU | Art. 6(1)(b) Contract Fulfillment of digital goods purchase |
| Personalized in-game advertisements & behavioral ad targeting | Google Advertising ID (GAID), device ad profile | Art. 6(1)(a) Consent Obtained via Google UMP consent banner |
| Non-personalized / contextual ads & ad frequency capping | Coarse IP (country), temporary device instance ID | Art. 6(1)(f) Legitimate Interest Supporting free-to-play game sustainability |
| Crash diagnostics, bug fixing & performance optimization | Crash stack traces, device specs, ANR telemetry | Art. 6(1)(f) Legitimate Interest Maintaining stability and user experience |
| Responding to support tickets & data deletion requests | Email address, player inquiry, technical details | Art. 6(1)(c) Legal Obligation Complying with statutory consumer & privacy laws |
6. Advertising & Monetization
To keep our games free to download and play for everyone, we incorporate digital advertising provided by certified third-party ad networks, primarily Google AdMob (Google LLC).
Rewarded Video Ads (Player Initiated)
Players can voluntarily watch a short video ad to revive a character, claim a bonus, or continue a run. Watching rewarded ads is 100% optional and is never forced.
EU Consent & Google UMP (User Messaging Platform)
For players located in the EU, EEA, UK, and Switzerland, our games integrate the Google Mobile Ads SDK with the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP), adhering to the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF v2.2). When you first open the game, you are presented with a consent dialog allowing you to consent to or reject personalized advertising and data processing vendors.
How to Opt Out / Reset Advertising ID on Android
You maintain complete control over ad personalization directly via your Android operating system:
- Open device Settings.
- Navigate to Google → All Services → Ads.
- Tap Delete advertising ID or Reset advertising ID.
- Toggle off Enable Personalized Ads (if running Android 11 or earlier).
7. Analytics & Crash Diagnostics
Mobile games run across thousands of different Android smartphone and tablet models, chipsets, and OS flavors. To detect crashes, optimize GPU rendering, and ensure fluid 60fps frame rates, we rely on:
- Google Analytics for Firebase: Measures aggregated player behavior such as level completions, average session duration, and feature adoption. All metrics are pseudonymous and aggregated; they cannot be used to determine your real-world identity.
- Firebase Crashlytics & Google Play Vitals: Captures anonymous crash stack traces when a game terminates unexpectedly or stutters. Crash logs include the line of code that triggered the fault, memory pressure, and Android OS version. They contain zero personal communications or personal files.
Retention: Crashlytics raw crash reports are automatically purged by Firebase after 90 days. Aggregated game metrics are retained for up to 14 months under standard Google Analytics retention rules.
8. In-App Purchases & Billing
Our games may offer optional in-app purchases (such as virtual currency bundles, cosmetic items, or ad-removal packages).
All monetary transactions are processed securely and exclusively through the Google Play In-App Billing API (Google Payment Corp / Google LLC). SouMoster does not receive, process, store, or have access to your credit card number, banking details, or billing address.
Google provides our game client with a cryptographic purchase verification token, an order ID, a timestamp, and the SKU purchased, which our app uses strictly to unlock the digital items. All refund requests are governed by the official Google Play Refund Policy.
9. International Data Transfers
SouMoster publishes apps and games globally. Consequently, personal data and telemetry collected through integrated SDKs (such as Google AdMob, Firebase, and Google Play Games) may be transferred to, stored, and processed on servers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), primarily in the United States.
Whenever personal data is transferred across international borders from the EU/EEA or UK, we verify that appropriate transfer mechanisms are in place as mandated by Articles 44–49 of the GDPR:
- Adequacy Decisions: Transfers to countries recognized by the European Commission as offering an adequate level of data protection.
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Our primary third-party processors, including Google LLC, rely on European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary technical and organizational safeguards.
- EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework: Where applicable, our service providers maintain active certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension.
10. Your Rights Under EU & UK GDPR
If you reside in the European Union, European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, Chapter III (Articles 12–23) of the GDPR grants you powerful, enforceable rights regarding your personal information:
You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your data and receive a readable copy of any personal data we hold.

You have the absolute right to object at any time to processing grounded in legitimate interests or direct advertising.
Where processing is based on consent, you may revoke your consent at any time with immediate future effect.
We do not engage in any automated individual decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
To exercise any of the rights listed above, simply send an email to soumoster@gmail.com with the subject "GDPR Data Subject Request". We will acknowledge your request within 24–48 hours and execute it completely free of charge within 30 days as required by GDPR Article 12(3).

This section provides mandatory supplemental disclosures for residents of California (CCPA/CPRA), Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), and Utah (UCPA).
- No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell personal information of any player for monetary consideration.
- Sharing for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising: Third-party ad networks (AdMob) may serve targeted ads if authorized. You may opt out by resetting your Android Advertising ID as detailed in Section 6.

12. Children's Privacy & Families Policy
Google Play Rating 3+ / PEGI 3 / General Audience
