Reef Run Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 30, 2026
Publisher: Daybreak Energy LLC
Reef Run is a single-player surfing game published by Daybreak Energy LLC. This policy describes version 1.12 and later, including advertising. Earlier versions through 1.11 do not include advertising or the Google Mobile Ads SDK. No game account or subscription is required. Core gameplay works offline; advertising, Game Center, purchasing and restoring purchases require a connection.
Progress on your device
The app stores your progress, earned pearls, unlocked and equipped gear, best score, audio volume preferences, ad frequency counter, unused purchased skips and transaction identifiers locally using web storage and an app-local backup. There is no developer-operated cloud sync. Progress remains on your device until the app’s data is removed. Deleting the app rather than offloading it removes its local app data; restoring a device backup may restore progress. Device backups are controlled by you and your operating system.
Apple may separately process App Store transactions, device backups or diagnostics under its own settings and privacy practices. Those platform services are separate from developer-operated collection inside Reef Run.
Optional purchases
Tideglass, Sunbreak, Moonpool, Coral Carnival, Polar Glow and Starfall are optional, non-consumable gear packs with enhanced board powers. Each is a separate one-time purchase. Apple handles payment and provides purchase information that the app verifies on your device to unlock, restore or revoke each pack. We do not receive your payment card details, and the app does not transmit purchase records to a developer-operated server. Apple may provide sales and financial reports through App Store Connect. Apple processes transactions under its own privacy practices. Purchased packs can be restored using the Apple Account that bought them. Wave Pass level skips are consumable purchases; each adds one skip that does not expire. Skip balances, identifiers used to prevent duplicate delivery, and gameplay progress are stored only on your device. Consumed purchases, unused skips and local progress do not restore through Restore purchases after deleting the app or transfer to another device.
Advertising and privacy choices
Version 1.12 uses Google AdMob to show an interstitial after every two completed runs when an ad is available. You may also choose to watch a rewarded ad for one second chance per run. A second chance is granted only after the ad reports that its reward was earned. An unavailable ad does not stop you from starting another run.
Google and its advertising partners may process your IP address and approximate location inferred from it, device or app-scoped identifiers, ad impressions and interactions, app interactions, crash reports, performance information and other diagnostics to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud and maintain their services. This data can be linked to a device or app identifier. We receive advertising reports through AdMob. We do not send your saved pearl balance, collection, purchased gear, scores or support messages to AdMob.
We request non-personalized ads, disable Google's publisher first-party ID and do not request Apple's tracking permission or access to the advertising identifier (IDFA). Non-personalized ads still involve the processing described above. Apple's SKAdNetwork may provide privacy-preserving advertising attribution.
Google's consent tool presents privacy choices where required before requesting ads. When available, open Privacy & Support in the game and choose Ad privacy choices to review or change your selections. Consent choices and related information may be stored on your device. Ads may be limited or unavailable depending on your choices, region and connection.
Google handles information under its Privacy Policy and explains partner-app advertising at How Google uses information from sites or apps. Its retention and deletion practices apply to the information it processes. Contact us with questions or requests about information we hold, and use Google's privacy tools for information held by Google.
Optional Game Center leaderboards
Optional Game Center leaderboards use your Apple Game Center profile. After you sign in, completed-run scores are sent to Apple and appear with your Game Center nickname. Regular and purchased Overdrive boards have separate rankings. We store your Game Center player identifier and unsent best scores on this device to retry uploads for the correct Apple profile. Manage your nickname and profile privacy in Settings → Game Center. Contact support about removing a leaderboard score. Your local progress is separate from Game Center and does not sync through the leaderboard.
Apple processes Game Center information under its Game Center privacy information. No separate Reef Run account is created.
Permissions
Reef Run does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, precise location or photo library.
Support and website visits
If you email us, we receive your email address and any information you choose to include. We use that correspondence to answer your request and keep it only as needed for support and applicable obligations. You may request deletion of support correspondence. Avoid sending sensitive personal information.
Opening a public policy or support link leaves the game and opens your browser. This website uses Google Firebase Hosting. Our hosting and email providers may process information needed to deliver and secure the website and support correspondence, such as your IP address, browser information, email address and message contents. We do not add advertising or analytics scripts to these Reef Run pages. These website services are separate from in-game advertising.
Accounts and children
Reef Run has no account to create or delete. The game is intended for a general audience. We request Google’s general-audience ad-content rating. Parents or guardians can contact us with questions about privacy or if a child has supplied personal information in a support request.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy when the app’s practices change. For questions or support-data deletion requests, email daybreakenergy@yahoo.com.
