Elk Run privacy policy
Last updated November 2, 2026
Short version: Elk Run collects nothing. There's no account, no analytics and no ad network. Your progress stays on your device and never comes to us.
Who this covers
This policy covers the Elk Run app, made by Pettigrew Lab LLC, on every device it runs on.
What the game saves on your device
The postcards you have earned, the goals you have met, how many runs you have played, your best time, biggest herd and best streak for each season, whether the sound is on, and whether you bought Remove ads.
All of it stays inside the app on your device. It isn't sent to us and we can't see it.
Ads
On Android, between runs, the game sometimes shows a card for one of our other games. It is marked Ad. Never on the first run, never more than one every three minutes, never in the middle of a run, and you can close it after 3 seconds.
These cards come from the game itself, not from an ad network, so nothing about you or your device is sent anywhere to show one. Going to Google Play from a card asks a grown-up question first.
Remove ads
You can pay $1.99 once to turn the ads off. Buying it asks a grown-up question first, and Google Play handles the payment under its own terms. We never see a card number or a name. Restore purchase turns the ads back off on a new device signed in to the same Google account.
Sharing and links
Sharing the game or a postcard, and opening this website from the game, ask a grown-up question first. Sharing hands your device's share menu a short line of text and a link to the game. It never includes a name. Where it goes from there is up to you, and we don't see it.
What the game doesn't do
There's no account and nothing to sign into, so we don't have anyone's name or email unless you write to us yourself.
There's no analytics, no crash reporting, no ad network and no chat. The only outside service the game talks to is Google Play, when you buy or restore Remove ads.
The game doesn't ask for your location, camera, microphone, photos or contacts.
Kids
Elk Run is made for kids 8 and up and their families. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, children included.
If you think a child has emailed us something personal, tell us and we'll delete it.
Deleting your data
Uninstall the game, or clear its data in your device's settings, and everything it saved is gone. There's nothing on our side to delete, because nothing was sent to us.
If you email us
If you write to the address below, we have your email and whatever you put in the message, and we keep it only as long as it takes to answer you.
If this changes
If a future version collects anything, for example by using an ad network, this page is updated before that version ships, and the date at the top changes.
