Gate Run, published by Mitchell Vault Investments LLC, is free to play with ads. We do not run accounts, analytics or tracking of our own, and we never see your personal data. After you finish the first region, the game shows ads from Google AdMob, and Google collects some device and usage data to show them. The game does not ask to track you across other companies' apps, so ads are not personalized with your device's advertising identifier.
Your saved game, your progress through a Gate and your settings (such as sound on or off) are stored in the app's own storage on your iPhone or iPad. They are never sent to us. Deleting the app deletes them. If you use iCloud Backup or a computer backup, Apple may include this storage in your backups under your backup settings.
The Share button opens the standard iOS share sheet with a link to the game. We do not see who you share it with or what you send.
No ads appear until you seal the first region, Neon Crossing. After that the game shows a full-screen ad now and then on the way back to the Guild Hall, and offers optional ads you can choose to watch for a bonus. Google AdMob provides these ads. To show them, measure them and prevent fraud, Google may collect your IP address, device and app information (such as model, operating system and language), approximate location derived from your IP address, and how you interact with ads. Google handles that data under its own privacy policy, which is at policies.google.com/privacy; policies.google.com/technologies/ads explains how Google uses data in ads.
Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland), the game asks for your consent before ads load, through Google's consent form. You can change your choice at any time from the AD PRIVACY button in the pause menu.
The Remove Ads purchase turns off the full-screen ads. Optional ads stay available if you want their bonus.
Remove Ads is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment; we never see your payment details. The game asks the App Store only whether you own the purchase.
If you are signed in to Apple's Game Center, your run scores are sent to Game Center leaderboards, where other players can see your Game Center name and score. Apple runs Game Center under its own privacy policy. You can turn Game Center off in your iPhone's Settings.
Gameplay works offline. The game goes online only to load ads, to check purchases with the App Store, and to send scores to Game Center.
Some daily Rift Pack challenges were drafted with an AI writing tool during development, then checked and built into the game. The game itself does not use AI or send anything to an AI service.
If you play a beta through Apple's TestFlight app, Apple may share with us crash reports, basic usage information such as session counts, and any feedback or screenshots you choose to send. Apple's TestFlight terms and privacy policy cover that information. We use it only to fix bugs and improve the game.
Gate Run is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we collect no personal information ourselves from anyone.
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date before the change takes effect in the game.
