Privacy
Privacy Policy
CarrotSoftClan ("we", "us") makes Neo Tokyo Moto Racing ("the game"). This policy explains what information the game handles, why, and for how long.
1. No account, no sign-in
The game has no sign-up or sign-in. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or location.
2. Online rankings
The first time you finish a stage, the game asks you to choose three-letter initials, arcade-style. From then on, your finish times are sent to our ranking server (ntmr-api.carrotsoftclan.com, hosted in the Republic of Korea) so they can appear on the worldwide stage rankings.
| Item | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Random player ID (UUID) created by the server, and the time it was created | Telling players apart on the rankings | While the rankings are operated. An ID that never records a time is deleted automatically after 7 days. |
| Access token | Confirming that later times come from the same player | The server keeps only a one-way hash (SHA-256) of it, never the token itself. Same retention as the player ID. |
| Initials (three letters you choose) | The name shown next to your times | Same as the player ID |
| Country code (two letters, e.g. KR) | The country shown next to your initials | Same as the player ID. On Android, taken from the region in your phone's language settings, or from the SIM card's country when no region is set. On iOS, taken from the device's region setting. |
| Best finish time for each stage | Ranking order | Same as the player ID |
| IP address | Limiting requests to prevent abuse; troubleshooting | Request-limit counters expire within 2 hours. Server operation logs also record IP addresses; they are rotated automatically by size (at most three files of 10 MB) and used only for troubleshooting and abuse prevention. |
Rankings are public. Your initials, country code, and times can be seen by anyone who plays the game. Viewing a ranking board also connects to the ranking server.
Backups of the ranking database are kept for 14 days and then deleted automatically.
3. Stored only on your device
Your progress, best times, coins, settings, and initials are stored on your device. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes them. Your initials are also sent to the ranking server together with your times, as described above.
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game shows rewarded video ads through Google AdMob. Starting a stage uses one coin, and you can earn a coin by watching a rewarded ad. To show ads, Google may collect and use your device's advertising identifier (the Android advertising ID, or the IDFA on iOS if you allow tracking), device and network information, and your IP address. We do not receive or store this information.
- How Google uses information from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
- Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the game asks for your ad consent with Google's consent form (UMP) before showing ads. You can change your choice later from the privacy options in the game's settings.
- On iOS, the game asks through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt whether you allow tracking. If you do not allow it, the IDFA is not available to the game or to Google. You can change this at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- On Android, you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your device settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads; the exact menu varies by device).
If you buy Remove Ads, the ad SDK is never started, so no information is collected for advertising.
5. In-app purchase
"Remove Ads" is a one-time purchase made through Google Play on Android or the App Store on iOS. Google or Apple processes the payment; we never receive your card or payment details. Whether you have bought it is kept on your device and in your store purchase history. Nothing about the purchase is sent to our server. On Android, the purchase is restored automatically from your Google Play purchase history when you reinstall the game. On iOS, use Restore Purchase in the game's settings.
6. Sharing and international transfer
We do not sell your information or share it with anyone except as described here.
| Recipient | Information | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google LLC (United States) — AdMob | Advertising identifier (Android advertising ID, or IDFA on iOS if allowed), device and network information, IP address | Showing and measuring ads. Sent over the network when an ad is requested, and handled under Google's privacy policy. |
| Google LLC (United States) — Google Play | Purchase and payment information (Android) | Processing the Remove Ads purchase, under Google's privacy policy |
| Apple Inc. (United States) — App Store | Purchase and payment information (iOS) | Processing the Remove Ads purchase, under Apple's privacy policy |
The ranking server and its data stay in the Republic of Korea.
7. Deleting your information
- On your device: uninstall the game or clear its data.
- On the rankings: email contact@carrotsoftclan.com with your initials, country, and the stages and times shown on the rankings. We will delete your player record and times. Copies in backups disappear within 14 days.
- Advertising data: Google holds it; use the device settings above or Google's privacy controls.
8. Children
The game is not directed at children under 13, and it does not request ads directed at children.
9. Security
The game talks to the ranking server over HTTPS. The server stores only a hash of your access token, and limits the number of requests from one address.
