02What we collect

Information you give us

Player name: the name you choose in the game. Other players see it.
Google sign-in: when you choose Continue with Google, we receive your Google account ID and your first name, so the same player comes back on a new phone. We do not receive your Google password, and we do not keep your email address.
Profile photo (optional): if you add a photo, a small copy is kept on our server so it shows on your profile and to your friends, and comes back on a new phone. You can remove it at any time.
Birthday (optional): the day and month you enter, used only to send you a birthday gift in the game.

Information created while you play

Player ID and friend code: a random ID made by the app, and a 6 letter friend code other players can use to add you.
Game progress: coins, cars, weapons, upgrades, styles, level, match results and career stats. They are kept on our server so they cannot be lost or changed by cheats.
Friends, parties and crews: your friend list, friend requests, party invites, your crew and the parts of the city it holds, and bounties.
Online status: whether you are in the game right now, so friends can invite you.
Voice chat: when you turn on the microphone in a party, your voice is sent live through our server to the players in your party. We do not record or keep voice.
Purchases: when you buy coins, Google Play sends us the purchase receipt (order number, product and purchase token) so we can add your coins. We never see your card or payment details.

Information collected automatically

Technical data: IP address, app version and connection details in short-term server logs, used to run the service and stop abuse.
Performance reports: phone model, chip and graphics chip, Android version, memory size, graphics setting and frame rate after a match, so we can make the game run smoothly on more phones. These reports do not include your name.
Notifications: a device token from Firebase, so we can tell you about friend requests, party invites and game news.
Ads: when you choose to watch a reward video, our ad partners may collect your device's advertising ID and ad usage data (see below).

03How we use it
