Bruce Run is a game made by Bruce Gao. This policy explains what the game keeps, what it sends over the internet, and how to have it deleted.
The short version: no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no in-app purchases, and nothing is ever sold or shared.
Your progress is saved only on your own device: coins, the cities, worlds, outfits, photos and app icons you have unlocked, upgrades, achievements, your best runs, today's challenges and your settings. None of it is sent to me or to anyone else.
If your device is signed in to iCloud and you set a leaderboard name, the game keeps a small record in its iCloud database (Apple's CloudKit) so that other players can see it on the world leaderboard:
The record is kept under an identifier that iCloud makes for Bruce Run. It is not your Apple ID, your name or your email address, and I cannot see those. Everyone who plays Bruce Run can see your nickname, profile photo and distances on the leaderboard.
You can take yourself off at any time: open OPTIONS and turn off WORLD LEADERBOARD. Your record is then deleted from iCloud. You can join again whenever you like.
If you report a name on the leaderboard ("Report this name"), the game saves a report with the reported player's leaderboard identifier, the reason and the time. Like every record in iCloud, it is filed under the Bruce Run identifier of the player who sent it, never their name. I use reports only to review and remove offensive names. The reported name is also hidden on your device right away.
When you share your score card, the game hands the picture to the iOS share sheet, and you choose where it goes. The game itself does not send it anywhere.
The ABOUT screen links to my Instagram and to my other apps on the App Store. These open outside the game, and their own privacy policies apply.
