Overview
Torque Kings ("the Game", "we", "us", or "our") is a mobile drag racing game available on the Apple App Store. It features single-player progression as well as optional online 1v1 head-to-head races against other players, with an in-game (virtual) currency. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you play Torque Kings.
By creating an account and using the Game, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.
Data We Collect
We collect the following categories of data when you register and play Torque Kings:
We do not collect your real name, phone number, precise location, payment information, contacts, camera, microphone, or advertising identifiers. We do not store persistent device hardware identifiers; the app only checks whether it is running on a physical device (versus a simulator) to determine push-notification eligibility.
How We Use Your Data
Your data is used exclusively for the following purposes:
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the Game.
Online Multiplayer & Virtual Currency
Torque Kings offers optional online 1v1 races. You start a match by inviting another player using their username, and both players stake an amount of virtual in-game currency. The staked amount is held in escrow until the race finishes, then awarded to the winner (or refunded on a tie or if the match is cancelled).
When you take part in an online race, the following information is visible to your opponent for that match: your username, the car you race with (name), your finish time, and the match outcome. This is the minimum needed to run a head-to-head race and is not shared with anyone outside that match.
Push Notifications
If you allow notifications, we register your device with the Expo push service and store the resulting push token on your profile. We use it only to notify you when another player invites you to a 1v1 race. Tapping the notification opens the corresponding invite in the Game.
Notifications are optional. You can decline the permission prompt, or turn notifications off at any time in your device's system settings; the Game remains fully playable without them.
Data Storage & Security
All account and game data is stored using Supabase, a secure backend-as-a-service platform. Data is stored on servers located in the Asia Pacific region and is protected by industry-standard encryption both in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest.
We take reasonable technical measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Services
Torque Kings uses the following third-party services to operate:
- Supabase – Authentication, database, and real-time data services. Supabase Privacy Policy
- Expo (Expo Application Services) – Delivers push notifications for race invites. When notifications are enabled, your push token and the invite message are sent through Expo's push service. Expo Privacy Policy
- Apple App Store – Distribution platform. Governed by Apple's privacy terms, which we do not control.
We do not integrate any advertising networks, analytics SDKs, social media SDKs, or crash reporting tools that collect personally identifiable information. The Game contains no advertising or cross-app tracking mechanisms and does not request Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission.
