RimFireRimFire privacy policy
This policy covers the RimFire app for Android and iOS, the game in a web browser, and this website. It says what the game collects, what for, and how to delete it. In short: a random player ID, the name you type, your game record, and, only if you sign in with Google, your Google account's ID. No ads, no tracking, and nothing is sold.
What the game collects
- A player ID. The app makes a random ID the first time it runs and keeps it on your device, with your name and the options you picked, for next time. It isn't your device's hardware ID or advertising ID. The server keeps your record under it.
- Your player name. The name you type in the menu. Other players in your match see it, and the server keeps the latest one with your record.
- Your game record. Matches played, wins, kills, deaths, your best streak and your time played, added up after each online match.
- What you do in a match. Your movement, aim and shots go to the game server while you play, so it can run the match and show everyone the same game. They're kept only while the match lasts.
- Your Google account ID, if you sign in with Google. Signing in is optional: it gets your record back on another device. Google gives the app a sign-in token; our server checks it and keeps only your Google account's ID, to link it to your record. Your email address and name are not stored on our server. The app shows your email address on your device, so you know which account you're signed in with.
- Your IP address. Like any online service, the server sees it when the app connects. It's used to limit spam, by counting requests from each address per minute, and is never stored with your record. The server's request logs, which can include it, are deleted after 7 days.
Nearby games
A nearby game is hosted by a phone on your Wi-Fi or hotspot. Its data goes only between the phones on that network: it never reaches our server and isn't added to your record. The app uses your local network (on iOS, after asking you) and reads your Wi-Fi state (on Android) only to find and host these games.
What the game doesn't do
- No ads, and no analytics or tracking tools.
- Your data is never sold, or shared with anyone for their own use.
- No access to your contacts, location, photos, files, camera or microphone.
This website
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking. The account deletion page loads Google's sign-in button from Google, so you can prove which account to delete.
Who else handles it
- Cloudflare runs the game server and this website, and stores the records, for us.
- Google handles signing in with Google, if you use it.
How long it's kept
Your record stays until you delete it. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data doesn't delete it from the server, but your device forgets the player ID, so unless you signed in with Google the record can't be tied back to you.
Deleting your data
- In the app: In the menu, open Settings, then Account, and tap Delete record, then Delete for good. This deletes your record and name from the server, and their link to your Google account if you signed in. The app then makes a new player ID.
- Without the app: if you signed in with Google, delete your record on the account deletion page.
Children
RimFire is a shooting game for players 13 and older. It isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you think a child under 13 has played online, contact us and we'll help delete their record.
Security
Everything between the app and our server is encrypted (HTTPS and secure WebSockets). Nearby games, which stay on your local network, are not.
Changes
If this policy changes, this page will show the new version and its date.
