Rock Rise is a band-management game for a general audience. This policy explains what the game and the services it uses collect, why, and how to control it.
Rock Rise is published by So Sun Studios, operated by R. A. Soesan, who is responsible for your data. Contact: Soe.Sun.games@gmail.com.
We have not appointed a representative in the European Union or the United Kingdom. Until we do, we don't plan to offer the Rock Rise apps in EU or UK app stores.
We don't ask for your contacts or photos, we don't use GPS or your precise location, and we don't sell your data. Your IP address reaches each service the game connects to, and an IP address can be used to estimate your general location (roughly your city or region). Ads may use your device's advertising identifier where your choices allow it.
Your band and settings are stored on your device and stay there until you delete it with “Break up” on the Band screen, or delete the app. On Android, the system's Auto Backup may copy them to your own Google account and restore them on a reinstall.
The game also contains online features: player numbers, cloud backups (including for guests who haven't signed up), accounts, global charts and Cover Wars. These are not active in the current versions of the game, which send no data for them. If we switch them on, we will update this policy first, including where that data is stored.
If you agree when the game asks, it sends the following to PostHog on servers in the European Union:
This data is not anonymous: it is tied to a random ID and can include your band name. It is not used for ads or to track you across other companies' apps. Our PostHog project discards IP addresses instead of storing them, and the game asks PostHog not to work out a location from them. We don't use session recording. Turn analytics off anytime in Settings → “Share gameplay data.” When it is off, the game sends nothing to PostHog unless you choose to send feedback (below).
If you send feedback from the game, your message and any contact details you add go to PostHog, along with your band name, player code, tier, fans and gig count. If you use the store diagnostics “send” button, a report about the purchase system goes the same way. Both are sent because you asked, even if analytics are off.
The apps show ads from Google AdMob: optional videos you can watch for a reward, and occasional ads between gigs. The web version has no ads. According to Google, its ad SDK may collect:
Google uses this for advertising, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention. See how Google uses data from partner apps and Google's advertising policy.
Personalized ads depend on your choices.
Saying no never affects the game. Gameplay, saves and purchases work the same whatever you choose. If ads can't be requested, the ad offers simply don't appear.
Buying “Kill the Static” removes ads and stops the ad SDK from loading from the next launch. The rewards from ad offers are then free, with no ad.
Payments are handled by Apple or Google; we never see your card details. RevenueCat, a US company, manages purchases for us. It receives your purchase history, a random customer ID it creates, and your device's locale and currency. We don't give RevenueCat your advertising identifier.
The game downloads fonts from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address when that happens.
PostHog processes analytics in the European Union. Google (ads and fonts) and RevenueCat (purchases) may process data in the United States and other countries. Where data leaves your region, those providers rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or, where available, adequacy decisions.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or move your data, to object, and to complain to your data protection authority. To delete the analytics tied to your device, or to make any other request, see how to delete your data. We aim to complete requests within 30 days.
Rock Rise is made for a general audience. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.
If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for material changes, note it in the app.
