Effective Date: September 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy applies to Goalienator, a Meta Quest title developed and published by RunByCoffee.

2 Data Processing & Meta Horizon SDK

Goalienator uses the Meta Horizon Platform SDK to provide platform features on Meta Quest. Goalienator collects and processes information made available through the Meta Horizon platform, including the following information:

  • User ID (USER_ID): A unique identifier provided by Meta for the user of Goalienator. It is used to identify the player within the application and associate gameplay activity with the appropriate player.
  • User Profile (USER_PROFILE): Information provided by Meta about the user's Meta Horizon profile, such as their display name. This information is used to identify the player within the game and display their name in relevant gameplay or leaderboard features.
  • In-Game "Challenges Mode" and Leaderboards: Goalienator's Challenges Mode uses Meta Horizon leaderboards to record and rank player scores. When a player completes a Challenges Mode run, the player's personal high score is submitted to Meta Horizon and recorded on the Goalienator leaderboard. Leaderboard scores and rankings can be viewed in Goalienator and through Meta's leaderboard features in the Meta Quest mobile app. Meta Horizon manages the underlying leaderboard data.
  • Friends (feature under development): Goalienator is developing Meta Horizon friend-related features. When these features are implemented, the application will process information about the user's Meta Horizon friends who are also entitled to use Goalienator. This information will be used to provide friend-based gameplay and social functionality.
  • Meta Challenges (feature under development): Goalienator is developing support for Meta Horizon Challenges. When this functionality is implemented, challenge-related information will be processed to allow users to participate in score-based competitions and challenges.

RunByCoffee does not operate an independent server or database for storing Meta Horizon user IDs, Meta Horizon profile information, friends lists, or challenge information.
