Scrap Yard Dash Privacy Policy
Effective September 30, 2026
This policy explains what information the Scrap Yard Dash game for Android ("the game", "the app") collects, how it is used and who it is shared with. The game is made by Viper Dynamics Studios ("we", "us"). If you have any questions, contact us at support@viperdynamics.llc.
In short
- The game has no accounts and no sign-in. We do not run any servers and we do not collect your name, email address, contacts, photos or location.
- Your progress is saved only on your device.
- The game shows ads from Google AdMob. Google collects some device information, such as your advertising ID, to show and measure ads. In the EU, UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first, and you can change your choice in the game.
- Purchases are handled by Google Play. We never see your payment details.
1. Information stored on your device
The game saves your progress on your device so you can continue where you left off: your in-game cash and reputation, the machines and upgrades you have bought, the state of your yards and your settings (controls, sound, camera). It also remembers whether you have bought Remove Ads. This save file never leaves your device and is not sent to us. It is deleted when you uninstall the game, and starting a New Game resets it.
2. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob) to show a full-screen ad between in-game days and optional ads you can choose to watch for an in-game reward. To show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect and process:
- your device's advertising ID (Android Advertising ID);
- your IP address, from which an approximate location (country or region) can be worked out;
- device and app information, such as device model, operating system version, language and app version;
- information about ads shown and your interactions with them, such as views and taps;
- diagnostic information, such as crash and performance data from the ads SDK.
This data is collected and used by Google, not by us. We do not receive information that identifies you personally. Google may use it to show personalised ads where you have allowed it, and non-personalised ads otherwise. To learn how Google uses this data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Your choices about ads
- Consent (EU, UK and Switzerland): before any ads load, the game shows Google's consent form. You can change your choice at any time with the Privacy Options button on the game's title screen.
- Advertising ID: you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your device's settings (Settings > Privacy > Ads, or Settings > Google > Ads, depending on your device).
- Remove Ads: buying Remove Ads stops the ads between days. Optional "watch an ad" rewards stay available but are only shown if you choose to watch them.
3. In-app purchases (Google Play)
The game offers optional in-app purchases (Remove Ads and Cash Pack). Purchases are processed by Google Play under the Google Payments Privacy Notice. We never receive your payment card details, name or billing address. The game receives only what it needs to deliver the item: which product was bought and a purchase confirmation from Google Play. This is checked on your device, and the result is saved only on your device.
4. Data we share
| Who | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google (AdMob) | Advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, ad interactions, ads diagnostics | Showing, limiting and measuring ads, fraud prevention, ad consent |
| Google (Play Billing) | Purchase details | Processing and confirming in-app purchases |
We do not sell personal information. Apart from the Google services above, which the game needs to work, we do not share data with any other party.
5. Device permissions
- Internet and network state: to load ads and to contact Google Play for purchases.
- Billing: to make in-app purchases through Google Play.
- Advertising ID: used by the Google Mobile Ads SDK as described above.
The game does not ask for access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or files.
6. Children
The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, contact us and we will help to have it removed.
7. Security and retention
We do not hold any of your data. Data sent to Google by its SDKs is encrypted in transit. Google keeps it according to its own retention policies. Your save file stays on your device until you uninstall the game or start a New Game.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have rights to access, delete or object to the processing of your personal information. Because we do not collect or store personal information ourselves, we have nothing to give access to or delete. For data collected by Google for advertising, use the choices in section 2 or the tools in your Google Account. You can also contact us with any request and we will help.
9. Links to other websites
The game's Credits screen links to the pages of the artists whose 3D models are used in the game (on Sketchfab), and the Privacy Options form is provided by Google. These open outside the game and are governed by those websites' own privacy policies.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the effective date at the top. Significant changes will also be noted in the game's update notes.
