Neon Circuit Racer

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 September 2026 · Applies to version 1.0 and later

The short version. Neon Circuit Racer has no accounts, no servers and no analytics. Everything you do stays on your device. We do not collect, transmit or sell any personal data, and we do not track you across apps or websites. The App Store data-collection declaration for this app is Data Not Collected in every category.

Who this policy is from

This policy covers the iOS app Neon Circuit Racer (bundle identifier neonn.circuitt.racer) and nothing else. It describes what the app does on your device, because that is the only place the app operates.

What is stored on your device

The game writes a single progress file inside its own sandboxed Application Support folder, plus a small set of preferences in the app's own UserDefaults. That is the complete list of what it keeps:

WhatWhy
Race results, lap records, stars, career statisticsProgression, the records board and trophies
Credits, driver rank, experienceUnlocking cars, circuits and liveries
Cars owned, upgrades purchased, livery assigned per carRemembering the state of your garage
Daily-ghost state and daily streakRunning the daily challenge and its bonus
Recorded ghost replays (position and time samples)Letting you race against your own past laps
Custom liveries and a compressed thumbnail of the source photoShowing and recognising the designs you created
Settings: music, sound, haptics, accent colour, camera style, steering travel, steering assist, reminder hourPersisting your preferences between sessions

None of this is transmitted anywhere. Deleting the app removes all of it. You can also erase it at any time from Pit Wall → Your data → Reset progress.

Camera

The camera is used for exactly one feature: the Photo Livery Lab. When you tap “Use camera”, iOS asks for permission and presents the standard system camera. The resulting photo is analysed entirely on your device — the app clusters the image into its five strongest colours to build a paint scheme — and a compressed thumbnail is stored locally alongside the livery so you can recognise it later.

The image is never uploaded, never leaves the device, and is never shared with anyone. If you decline camera access, every other part of the game continues to work, and you can still create liveries from your photo library.

Photo library

Choosing a photo uses Apple's system photo picker. The app receives only the single image you select; it never gains access to the rest of your library and cannot browse it. If you export a livery card, iOS requests add-only permission so the app can write that one image to your library — it cannot read anything back.

Notifications

Local notifications are optional and are requested in context, not on first launch. If you enable them, the app schedules reminders on your device: the daily ghost drop at an hour you choose, and a reminder when your streak is at risk. No push server is involved, no device token is created, and nothing about your notification settings is transmitted.

What the app does not do

Privacy manifest

The app ships an Apple privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) that declares NSPrivacyTracking as false, an empty tracking-domain list and an empty collected-data-type list. The required-reason APIs it declares are UserDefaults (reason CA92.1, to store the player's own settings) and file timestamp access (reason C617.1, to manage the app's own save file). These match the App Store data-collection answers exactly.

Children

Neon Circuit Racer is suitable for a general audience and knowingly collects no data from anyone, of any age. Because nothing is collected, there is no children's data for us to hold, disclose or delete.

Your rights and controls

Data-protection laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export and delete personal data held about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to produce or erase. The controls that matter are all in your hands:

Third-party material

The app bundles five music loops by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence, and the Chakra Petch and Rajdhani typefaces under the SIL Open Font Licence 1.1. These are static files inside the app. They contain no code, make no network requests and collect nothing. Attribution is shown in-app under Pit Wall → Credits & licences.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version ships inside the app with a new date at the top, and this page is updated to match. Because the app collects nothing, any change would be a clarification rather than an expansion of data use.
