RAM Rush Privacy Policy
RAM Rush (“RAM Rush: 8-Bit Memory Run” on the App Store) is an 8-bit iPhone platformer published by Alexandru Struta, an individual developer based in Romania (the “developer”, “we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the game handles, where it goes and what choices you have. It describes version 1.0 of the game. Contact: alexandrustruta@gmail.com.
1. Short version
- There is no account and no sign-in. The game never asks for your name, email address or phone number.
- Your progress is saved only on your iPhone. We have no server, we do not receive your progress, and there is no iCloud sync at this time.
- We use no analytics.
- The only ads are optional rewarded ads from Google AdMob: after losing all your lives you can choose to watch one for +1 life. Google receives information about your device and the ads you see so it can show ads, measure them and protect them from fraud (section 3).
- The game does not show Apple's tracking prompt and does not access your iPhone's advertising identifier (IDFA).
- ECC Mode, the optional subscription, is sold by Apple. We never see your payment details.
2. Information stored on your device
The game keeps your progress on your iPhone, in the app's own storage, so it can work:
- your best results;
- the levels you have cleared;
- the run you are playing, so you can resume it.
This information contains no name, email address or contact details, and it is not sent to us. It is deleted when you delete the app. Your iPhone's own backups (iCloud or computer) may include it, depending on your backup settings.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
Rewarded ads only, always your choice. RAM Rush shows ads through Google AdMob, a service of Google, using the Google Mobile Ads software. There are no banner ads and no ads that interrupt play. The only ad is offered after you lose all your lives: you may tap Watch ad: +1 life. Restart and Map never need an ad. ECC Mode players see the same optional offer. Ads are limited to content rated for teens (T).
What Google receives. When the game loads, requests or shows an ad, the Google Mobile Ads software in the app sends Google device and usage information, for example your IP address, your device model and your interactions with ads. Google uses it to serve ads, measure them and protect against fraud and abuse. Google handles it under the Google Privacy Policy; How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services explains more. We do not receive this information from Google except as aggregate reports.
No tracking prompt, no IDFA. The game does not show Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt and does not access your advertising identifier (IDFA).
Consent in Europe. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google's consent message (its User Messaging Platform) is shown before any ad is requested. Depending on your choice, Google may show non-personalized or limited ads. You can change your choice at any time with the Privacy choices button in the game.
When no ad can be shown. If you are offline or no ad is available, no ad plays and no extra life is given; nothing is sent to Google until the game can request an ad again.
4. ECC Mode purchases
ECC Mode is an optional weekly subscription sold through the App Store. Apple processes your payment, your Apple Account and your purchase history under the Apple Privacy Policy. We never see your card or bank details. The game asks Apple for the product's name and price and for your active subscription, and starts a purchase or a restore only when you tap the button.
5. Emails to us and these pages
If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach. We use them only to answer you and fix problems. Please don't send passwords or payment details. Our email provider (Google) stores this correspondence for us.
These web pages have no cookies, analytics or tracking. They are hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard request information, such as your IP address and browser details, to deliver and protect them.
6. Legal bases (EU/EEA and UK)
The developer, Alexandru Struta (Romania), is responsible for the information described here. Where the GDPR applies:
- showing a rewarded ad you ask for relies on our legitimate interest in keeping the game free; personalized ads, and storing or reading information on your device for ads, rely on your consent in Google's consent message, which you can change at any time with Privacy choices;
- selling and restoring ECC Mode is needed to provide what you buy (performance of a contract);
- answering emails relies on our legitimate interest in supporting the game, or on steps you ask us to take.
We do not sell your information. Google and Apple may process information outside your country, including in the United States, under the safeguards described in their own policies. We may disclose information if the law requires it or to protect legal rights.
7. How long information is kept
- Your progress stays on your iPhone until you delete the app. Deleting the app deletes it, and we cannot recover it. Device backups may keep copies.
- Emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, then deleted, unless the law requires us to keep them.
- Google and Apple keep their records under their own policies. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription or delete Apple's records.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete information about you, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent. Email us to use these rights; we may need to confirm the request is yours. We do not hold your game data, ad data or purchase records, so for those we may refer you to Google or Apple. You can also complain to a data protection authority, for example in the country where you live or, in Romania, the ANSPDCP (dataprotection.ro).
California and other US states. The information described in sections 3 and 5 falls into these categories: identifiers (IP address, and your email address if you write to us) and internet or other electronic network activity (device details and your interactions with ads). We do not collect sensitive personal information and we do not sell personal information. We will not treat you differently for using any of these rights.
9. Children
RAM Rush is intended for players aged 13 and over. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.
10. Changes and contact
We will post any changes here with a new date. If a change significantly affects how your information is used, we will also tell you in the game or ask for your consent where required. Questions or requests: alexandrustruta@gmail.com.
