Privacy Policy

Last updated July 2026

Loose Change is a free daily scratch game run by HoodRunner. This policy explains what we collect and why. We try to collect as little as possible.

What we collect

When you open the game inside Telegram, we receive your Telegram user ID and, if set, your username via Telegram's signed initData — this is how we give you your daily ticket, track streaks and referrals, and prevent abuse. If you win, we collect the wallet or shipping address you provide so we can deliver your prize. We log gameplay events and a coarse network signal (IP) for fraud prevention.

What we don't collect

We don't collect your name, contacts, precise location, or your Telegram messages. We don't sell your data, and we don't run third-party advertising trackers.

Who we share with

Only the providers that make the game work: Telegram (authentication and delivery), our hosting and database provider, and blockchain infrastructure such as Alchemy to display and send prizes. On-chain prize transfers are public by their nature.

Retention

We keep gameplay and anti-fraud data for as long as needed to operate the game and meet legal obligations, then delete or anonymize it.

Your choices

You can stop playing at any time. To request deletion of your data, email hoodrunner@hoodrunner.net and we'll take care of it.
