Privacy Policy

We only collect what the game needs to run:

• Account data. If you register with email and password, we store your email address and a hashed password. We never store your password in readable form.
• Google sign-in data. If you sign in with Google, our authentication provider receives the basic identity information Google makes available for sign-in, such as your email address, account identifier and associated profile metadata. Ronoplex does not receive your Google password or request access to your contacts.
• Your chosen names. Your player name and civilization name. These are visible to other players in the shared world, so do not use your real name if you would rather stay anonymous.
• Gameplay records. Your civilization, buildings, units, resources, research, skills, explored map area and the commands you issue. This is the game save; it lives on our servers because Ronoplex uses a persistent shared world. Routine civilization simulation is tied to active or recent presence rather than running as an offline-idle economy.
• Presence data. When you were last active, so the world knows which regions to simulate and which players to show as online.
• Guest sessions. Guest play creates an anonymous identifier with no email attached unless you begin account conversion. The browser session carries a guest marker, while the server keeps a bounded expiry so an abandoned anonymous civilization can be cleaned up safely.
• Technical logs. Standard server logs and error reports, which may include IP address, browser type and timestamps, used to keep the service running and to debug crashes.

We do not collect payment information, we do not run advertising, and we do not sell or rent your data to anyone.

We use browser storage for keeping you signed in and remembering audio settings and session state. We do not run advertising cookies or cross-site analytics profiling. Clearing browser storage removes the local sign-in state. For a guest, losing the browser-session marker causes the game to delete the anonymous civilization on the next return when possible; the server-side inactivity expiry remains as a cleanup safety net.

The public website can display the latest @Ronoplexis posts. Ronoplex requests those public posts from X on the server and keeps a short-lived cache so the homepage does not depend on X's browser-embedded timeline. Merely viewing the native feed does not require your browser to connect to X. If you choose a post or profile link, your browser then navigates to X and X's own privacy practices apply.

Signing out of a guest session triggers immediate deletion of the anonymous identity and its civilization from the shared world. If a tab or browser disappears before that clean sign-out can finish, active guest sessions refresh a server expiry and an inactive guest becomes eligible for cleanup after about 24 hours. Cleanup is best-effort, so that window is an expiry threshold rather than a promise of deletion at an exact minute. Returning with a persisted anonymous sign-in but without the original session marker also triggers deletion. Guest deletion cannot be undone.

If you choose "Save progress," Ronoplex protects the pending anonymous account for seven days while email confirmation is in progress; an active guest session can continue refreshing its normal inactivity window. After successful conversion the guest expiry is cleared and the civilization follows the normal account-retention rules.

Account data and gameplay records are kept while your permanent account exists. Guest records follow the temporary-session rules above: roughly 24 hours of inactivity before ordinary cleanup eligibility, or the protected conversion window while account setup is pending. Because Ronoplex is in alpha, we may need to reset the world or wipe all civilizations between builds — we will announce this in-game where we can, but alpha progress is not guaranteed to persist. Technical logs are kept for a short operational period and then discarded.

Other players see your player name, civilization name, and the parts of your civilization that are visible in the shared world. Nobody sees your email address.

Behind the scenes we rely on service providers to host the game and its database, and on Google if you choose Google sign-in. Ronoplex can also request public @Ronoplexis posts from X on the server for the homepage feed. Those providers process data under their own service and privacy terms. We otherwise disclose data only where we are legally required to.

You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, or delete your account and its civilization. Email Help@ronoplex.com from the address on the account and we will act on it. Deleting your account removes your civilization from the shared world, and that is irreversible.

Depending on where you live you may also have rights to object to processing, restrict it, or receive a copy of your data in a portable form. Use the same address and say what you want; we do not charge for this.

Ronoplex is not intended for anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, email Help@ronoplex.com and we will delete it.

Passwords are hashed, traffic is encrypted in transit, and every change to the world is validated on our servers rather than trusted from your browser. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a password you do not reuse elsewhere. If you find a vulnerability, report it to bugs@ronoplex.com rather than disclosing it publicly, and we will work with you on it.
