Effective 20 October 2026
This policy explains what information the Torque Blast! game ("the app") handles and why. Torque Blast! is published by Halfsky Publishing ("we", "us"). The app is available on Android, iOS, macOS (Mac App Store) and Windows (Microsoft Store).
The app stores your best score, your sound and haptics settings, tutorial progress and game options on your device. This data is not sent to us. It stays on your device, except that while you are signed in to Google Play Games or Apple Game Center your achievements and best Classic score are sent to that service (section 5). Uninstalling the app deletes the data on your device.
This section applies to the Android and iOS versions. The Windows and Mac versions contain no ads and no advertising SDK.
Torque Blast! shows two kinds of ads. Rewarded ads are optional: you choose to watch an ad in exchange for an in-game bonus (a score boost, a Blast that clears part of the board, or a chance to continue a run). A short ad also plays between runs after every few finished runs, never during a run. There are no banner ads. Ads are provided by Google AdMob, a service of Google. When the app requests or shows an ad, Google may collect and process:
Google uses this to deliver and measure ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and prevent fraud, and, where you have consented, to personalise ads. Google acts under its own privacy policy: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app shows Google's consent message the first time ads may be requested. You can consent, refuse, or manage your choices per purpose. If you refuse, any ads shown are non-personalised. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Privacy choices in the app.
On iOS, the advertising identifier is only used if you allow tracking when the system asks. You can also reset or delete your advertising identifier in your device settings at any time.
Remove ads is a one-time purchase through Google Play or the App Store, which handle the payment. The game only keeps an on-device note that ads are removed; we receive no payment details. After the purchase the game requests no ads, so Google AdMob no longer receives data from it on your device.
On Windows and Mac, the game is free to try and the full game is a one-time purchase through the Microsoft Store or the Mac App Store, which handle the payment and the license under their own privacy statements. The game asks the Store whether the full game is unlocked and keeps an on-device note of the answer; we receive no payment details.
On Android, iOS and Mac, the game can report achievements and your best Classic score to Google Play Games (Android) or Apple Game Center (iPhone, iPad and Mac). This is optional and only happens while you are signed in to that service, which is run by Google or Apple under their own privacy policies: Google Privacy Policy, Apple Privacy Policy.
Torque Blast! is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not hold personal data about you, requests about advertising data are best directed to Google, and you can withdraw ad consent in the app as described above. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Data on your device is kept until you uninstall the app or reset your data. Google retains advertising data according to its own policies, and Google and Apple keep Play Games and Game Center data according to theirs.
If we change this policy we will update this page and the effective date above.
