2. In short
- We do not run any servers of our own for the game and do not create user accounts.
- Your save game and settings are stored only on your computer.
- We use no advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking services, and we do not sell data.
- To play online over the internet you sign in with your Epic Games account (Epic Online Services). The game only receives the data listed below.
3. The game
3.1 Data on your computer
The game stores your profile (level, experience, unlocked and selected cars and paint jobs, statistics),
best times, ghosts of your best laps and settings (e.g. volume, graphics) locally on your computer
in the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\TabletopTurbo\Saved. This data is not transmitted to us.
3.2 Online play with an Epic account
If you want to play online over the internet, you sign in with your Epic Games account. Before your first sign-in you are asked whether you allow the game access. With your consent the game receives:
- Basic profile (Epic account ID, display name, language, display names of linked accounts) – to sign you in and to show your name in the lobby, standings and results;
- Online presence (view, update, display) – so the game can show e.g. “Playing Mini Tower Racers – racing” and friends can join you;
- Friends and blocked players – to show you friends you can invite, to send and receive invitations and to make sure blocked players cannot invite you or join your lobby.
The game only uses this data while it is running. We do not store it on servers of our own and do not analyse it.
3.3 What other players see
When you play online, the other players in the same lobby or game see your display name, your car and paint job, your level, your ready status and your race results. Public games appear in the game browser with the host's name, the track, the mode and the number of players. With the visibility “Invite only” your game does not appear in any search.
3.4 Connection between players
One player hosts the game and the others connect to them. For this connection, technically necessary connection data such as IP addresses is exchanged between the players' computers, either directly or via an Epic Online Services relay server. In a LAN game (without an Epic account) this only happens within your local network and the game sends no data to Epic Online Services.
3.5 Crash reports and game statistics
If the game crashes, it asks via the Unreal Engine Crash Report Client whether it may send a crash report to Epic Games, Inc. (USA) (error message, log, game version, operating system, CPU, GPU, driver, device ID and, if signed in, Epic account ID). The game only sends the report with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG).
In online play the game sends the start and end of your session via EOS Metrics (account ID, display name, input device, session ID) for statistics on player numbers and play time (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
3.6 Recipients
For sign-in, friends list, invitations, lobbies, the connection between players, crash reports and statistics the game uses Epic Online Services and the Unreal Engine by Epic Games, Inc. (USA). Processing by Epic Games is subject to the Epic Games privacy policy. We do not share any data with other third parties.
3.7 Legal basis
The processing for online play is necessary to provide the feature you requested (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). You explicitly grant access to your Epic account when signing in. Crash reports and statistics are based on the legal grounds named in 3.5.
4. This website
This website sets no cookies, uses no analytics or advertising services and does not load content from third-party servers (fonts and images are hosted on the same server). Your chosen language is only kept in your browser's local storage and is not transmitted.
The site is hosted by Netlify, Inc., 101 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA.

- Crash reports and statistics: not stored on servers of our own; processing by Epic Games is subject to its privacy policy.
