The short version

• The game itself collects no personal information. There are no accounts and no sign-in.
• Your settings and your custom driver are saved only on your device.
• Lines you type to other drivers are read on your device to pick a reply. They are never sent to us. If your device's built-in text-to-speech voice reads a typed line aloud, your phone or browser's own voice service (for example Google or Apple) processes that text under its own privacy terms.
• [ADS VERSION ONLY] The free version shows ads from Google AdMob (apps) or Google AdSense (website). Google may collect device information to show and measure ads. See "Ads" below.

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. The game stores these on your device only: sound and graphics settings, profanity level, level choice, your custom driver's look and voice, and whether you've seen the tutorial. You can erase them by clearing the app's data or your browser's site data.

Ads (free version only)

[Keep this section only if the version shows ads.]

• Ads are provided by Google (AdMob in the mobile apps, AdSense in the web version). Google may use your device's advertising ID, IP address and similar data to show ads, limit how often you see them, and detect fraud.
• If you are in the EU, UK or Switzerland, we ask your consent before showing personalised ads, using a Google-certified consent tool. You can change your choice anytime under Settings → Privacy choices.
• On iPhone, we ask permission before any tracking (Apple's App Tracking Transparency). If you say no, you still get ads, just not personalised ones.
• How Google uses data: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
• The ad-free version shows no ads and collects nothing.

Purchases

If you buy the ad-free version, Google Play or the Apple App Store handles the payment. We never see your card details. [Website sales: name the payment provider, e.g. Paddle or Stripe, and link its privacy policy.]

Children

Traffic Tantrum is for players 17 and older and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 17.

Your rights

Because we hold no personal information about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. For data Google collects for ads, use Google's tools: https://myadcenter.google.com. Canadians can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada; Quebec residents, the Commission d'accès à l'information.

Person in charge of privacy

Niko, nikosappstudio+traffictantrum@gmail.com. (Quebec's Law 25 asks every business to name this person publicly; by default it is the owner.)

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and, for big changes, show a notice in the game.
