The short version
Red Rock Rumble is a game, not a data business.
🚫 No ads 🚫 No tracking 🚫 No selling data 🚫 No analytics trackers 🚫 No free-text chat 🚫 No photos of people 🚫 No real names
You can play the whole game offline without giving us anything. If you play online, we keep only what the game needs to work: your fun player name, your friend list and your game progress. You can delete it all in the app any time.
What we keep, and why
| What | Why | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress (trophies, Rumblers unlocked, settings) | So you keep your progress | On your phone. A backup copy goes to your own iCloud (Apple stores it; we can't see it). If you make a Rumble ID, a copy is also kept on our game server so you can move it to a new phone. |
| Player name and friend code | So friends can find you and so other players see who they're playing | Our game server. Names have to pass a kid-safe name filter. Please don't use your real name. |
| Friends list and friend requests | So you can see and invite your friends | Our game server |
| Your Rumbler, skin and level, and whether you're online | Shown to friends and the players in your match | Our game server (online status is only kept while you're connected) |
| Rumble ID (optional) | To sign in on another phone | With Sign in with Apple, we keep only a scrambled code made from Apple's ID for you (a one-way "HMAC" hash). We never ask Apple for your name or email. With email sign-in, your email is used once to send a 6-digit code and is never stored; we keep only a scrambled code made from it. |
| Player reports and blocks | To keep players safe | If you report someone, our server saves the reported name, an internal player id, the reason you picked, the room, and the time. Your block list is kept on your phone (and in your Rumble ID if you have one) so blocked players can't add you or be matched with you. |
| Bug reports and suggestions (optional) | So we can fix problems and make the game better | Only if you use ⚙️ Settings → Report a bug / Send a suggestion, or 💬 Help us improve on the results screen. Our game server saves the note you typed (up to 500 letters; anything that looks like an email, phone number or link is removed), the game version, the iPhone's screen size and iOS version, which screen you were on, a scrambled install code (a one-way "HMAC" hash of a random number made by the app, not linked to your name) and the time. Never shown to other players. Kept up to 12 months. |
| Draw a Rumbler drawings (optional) | Our contest: each season one kid's drawing becomes a Rumbler in the game | Only if a parent or guardian sends one (after a grown-up check and an agreement in the game). Our game server keeps the picture of the drawing, the optional name and power ideas (anything that looks like an email, phone number or link is removed), the optional age of the artist, the child's first name ONLY if the parent ticks the separate first-name box (shown in the game as "Drawn by Ava, age 9" if the drawing wins), the season, the time, and a scrambled install code. No last names, emails, accounts, photos of children or places. Families can ask us to remove a first name at any time. Only the game team sees entries. Drawings that don't win are deleted 3 months after their season; a winning drawing is kept and turned into a game character. |
| Game Center (optional) | Leaderboards | Handled by Apple. If you're signed in to Game Center, your best trophy and boss-wave scores are sent to Apple's leaderboards. |
What we never collect
No real names, birthdays, photos of people, contacts, location, microphone or camera recordings, advertising IDs, or payment info. Chat is pick-from phrases only, so nobody can type messages to you. There are no ads. Nothing in the game costs money today.
Reminders
If you turn on reminders in Settings, they are scheduled on your phone only. We don't send push notifications.
Who else sees it
We don't sell or share your data. We only use a few service companies to run the game:
- Fly.io hosts our game server (in the USA). Like any website host, it handles your internet connection (IP address) to deliver game data. We don't save IP addresses with your game data.
- Apple provides Sign in with Apple, Game Center, iCloud backup, and app crash reports (only if you allowed sharing with developers in your iPhone settings).
- When you sign in with email, an email delivery company (Resend) sends the one sign-in code email. It gets your email address only to deliver that message.
Other players can see your player name, Rumbler and level while playing with you. Friends can also see your friend code and when you're online.
Deleting your data
In the app: ⚙️ Settings → Rumble ID → 🗑️ Delete account.
This deletes your player name, friend code, friends, logins and the progress copy from our server right away. (If you never made a Rumble ID, the same place says "Delete my friend card & online data".) Progress on your phone stays until you delete the app. Your iCloud backup is in your own iCloud account and you can remove it in iPhone Settings.
Safety reports about other players, and bug reports or suggestions you sent, may be kept for up to 12 months so we can keep the game safe and fix problems, even after an account is deleted.
Kids and parents
Red Rock Rumble is made to be safe for kids. We don't ask for personal information to play. Rumble ID is optional: we suggest a grown-up sets it up. Parents can delete their child's online data in the app at any time (see above) or ask us to delete it.
We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date below. Questions or requests: redrockrange@gmail.com.
