Shared LogicIgniter games privacy policy
Railpolar Privacy Policy
Last updated 9 October 2026 · Release in preparation · Applies to Railpolar for Android and for iPhone and iPad
Who we are
Railpolar is an arcade game made by LogicIgniter. This policy explains what information the game handles on Android (phones, tablets and Android TV) and on iPhone and iPad, why, and the choices you have. For any question about it, email [email protected].
Who the game is for
Railpolar is intended for people aged 13 and older. The whole game is playable by everyone, offline, without an account. Advertising is shown only to players who confirm they are adults (18 or older) on phones and tablets. Players under 18, players who skip the age question and players whose age is unknown play everything without the game starting Google’s consent or advertising flow. On Android TV the game asks no age question and shows no ads.
Information saved on your device
Your progress (the routes and lines you have finished, your stars, your best times and the days you played Today’s route) and your sound, haptics, language and quiet-motion preferences are saved in the game’s private app storage on your device. So are the records the game uses to limit how often an ad can appear (which routes have had their chance and when the last ad was shown) and the privacy choices Google’s consent tools store on the device. Your streak is worked out from your saved days; nothing extra is saved for it. On iPhone and iPad, to apply your language choice the game sets its own language in its iOS preferences, where Google’s consent and advertising software also saves your privacy choices and its own data. This information is not sent to LogicIgniter. We do not operate servers that receive your gameplay, and Railpolar has no accounts, sign-in, cloud saves, analytics or crash reporting of its own.
The age question
On phones and tablets, a neutral screen asks for your date of birth or lets you skip before you play. The whole game is the same with either choice. Your date of birth is checked on your device and then discarded: it is never saved or sent anywhere. Only the resulting group (adult, under 18 or unknown) is kept in memory for the current session and is never saved; when the game starts again, it asks again. For adults, the game tells Google’s consent service that the player is not under the age of consent. This flag does not include your date of birth. Confirming your age is not consent to personalized advertising.
Advertising
For adult players on phones and tablets, the game uses Google Mobile Ads to show a full-screen ad only when you tap Next route after finishing a route for the first time. An ad requires at least three newly completed routes since the previous ad or the start of a new app session, and at least three minutes between ads. There is at most one opportunity per newly completed route, never after the practice route or a route you are visiting from a link, never on a replay or when you share. Starting a new app session resets the completion count. Ads never appear on a timer, at launch, while you are playing a route or on TV. If an ad is unavailable, the game simply continues; ads are never needed to play, and network or consent failures never block the game. Ads use Google’s G (general audience) content rating.
Your advertising privacy choices
Before any ad is requested for an adult player, the game uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to check your privacy choices and, where the law where you live requires it, to show Google’s consent form. Ads are requested only after that check and any required form are complete, and only when your choices allow it. Where Google requires it, “Advertising privacy options” in the game’s settings reopens your advertising privacy choices. On iPhone and iPad the game does not show the App Tracking Transparency prompt, asks Google for non-personalized ads only and turns off Google’s publisher first-party ID, and adults can choose “Report an ad” in the game’s settings, which prepares an email to [email protected] containing only the app version, OS version, device family and time. Changing a choice affects future requests; it does not delete information Google has already received.
Information Google collects through the game
In adult sessions on phones and tablets, Google’s advertising and consent services can process your IP address, which may indicate approximate location, app interactions such as launch and ad events, diagnostic and crash information about the advertising software, and device or account identifiers (on iPhone and iPad, device identifiers limited to this app or its developer). Google encrypts this traffic with TLS. On Android, the game removes the advertising-ID and Privacy Sandbox advertising permissions, but on some Android versions Google’s software may still read the advertising ID, and the game declares that use to Google Play. On iPhone and iPad, the game never asks for Apple’s App Tracking Transparency permission, so Google’s software cannot use your device’s advertising identifier. Railpolar itself has no accounts and creates no user IDs. Google uses this information for app functionality, analytics, advertising and marketing, and fraud prevention, security and compliance under its own privacy policy. Google’s software is part of the app and can make limited network connections when the app starts, whatever your age answer, although the game makes no consent or ad requests for players under 18 or of unknown age, or on TV.
Permissions
The game uses network access only for Google’s consent and advertising services; the routes work offline. It uses vibration (on iPhone and iPad, the device’s haptics) for optional feedback, which follows your device’s touch-feedback or System Haptics setting and the Haptics switch in the game. It does not ask for camera, microphone, contacts or location access, and on iPhone and iPad it does not ask for permission to track you. Sound is generated on your device.
Sharing and route links
Sharing happens only when you tap Share. The game draws a picture of your route on your device and hands it, with a short message and a link, to the app you choose. The picture shows the route, your time and your stars. A route link carries a short route code made of the route it names (a numbered route and its version, or the day of Today’s route) and your result on it: your time, how many transfers you missed, how many express gates you passed and your stars. Anyone who opens the link can see these and play the same route. Neither the picture nor the link contains your name, an account, your device, your location or when you played. On Android, the picture is written to a temporary file in the app’s private cache so the app you choose can read it; pictures older than about an hour are removed, except the two most recent, after each share and when the app starts. Android TV has no Share button. On iPhone and iPad the picture is kept in memory and not saved as a file by the game; if you choose Save Image, iOS asks before it is added to Photos, and if the share sheet cannot open, the message and link are copied to the clipboard instead. Railpolar does not send, upload or keep anything about what you share; the app you choose handles it under its own terms. Opening a link starts that route on your device. A route you have not unlocked yet opens as a visit: playable, but not saved, not counted toward your progress and never followed by an ad. The game does not send the link anywhere or keep it. The web page that shows a link in a browser reads the code in your browser and does not store it.
What we do not do
We do not sell your personal information. We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location, and we do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Keeping and deleting information
On Android, information saved on your device stays there until you clear Railpolar’s app storage in your device settings or uninstall it, and cloud backup and device-to-device transfer are turned off for the game’s data. On iPhone and iPad, delete the Railpolar app from the Home Screen or in Settings › General › iPhone Storage (iPad Storage on iPad); offloading the app keeps your data. The game’s own saved files are excluded from iCloud and computer backups, but iOS can back up the app’s iOS preferences, which hold the language the game applies and what Google’s consent and advertising software saves there. Because LogicIgniter does not receive or store your gameplay or advertising data, there is nothing for us to delete on our side. Removing local data does not delete information Google has already processed; Google keeps and deletes information it receives under its own policies, and you can manage it through your Google settings and the links below.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal information, or to opt out of targeted advertising. For information held by Google, use Google’s privacy tools. For any request or question about Railpolar, email [email protected] and we will help. If you believe a child under 13 has used the game’s advertising flow, contact us.
Google’s policies
Read Google’s privacy policy, how Google uses information from apps that use its services, Google’s advertising data disclosure for Android and its guidance for iOS apps. Google Play, the App Store and your device’s operating system also process download and device information under their own policies.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy, and the date above, before Railpolar changes how it handles information. For questions, contact [email protected]. Information you choose to email is used only to respond to you; please do not send passwords or sensitive personal information. LogicIgniter’s website and business services have a separate privacy overview.
