Privacy Policy

Last updated 11 September 2026

Ronoplex is operated by J001_jf1 ("we", "us"), based in Costa Rica. This policy explains what we collect when you play at ronoplex.com, why we collect it, and what you can ask us to do with it. Ronoplex is currently in alpha, so the game and this policy may change; material changes will be noted by the date above.

Section 1

What we collect

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. It has no email attached unless you choose to save your progress. We use a temporary session marker and expiry time to identify abandoned guest civilizations.
  • 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.

Section 2

Browser storage and session data

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 signs you out. For a guest, this can also cause the game to delete the civilization when you return. An inactivity expiry provides a second way to remove abandoned guest civilizations.

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.

Section 3

Guest civilizations are temporary

Guest progress can be lost. Signing out deletes the guest identity and civilization immediately. A guest civilization left inactive for about 24 hours may also be deleted. The timing is not exact, and deletion cannot be undone.

Choose "Save progress" to keep the civilization. If you save by email, it is protected for seven days while you confirm your address. After confirmation, it follows the normal account-retention rules.

Section 4

How long we keep things

Account data and gameplay records are kept while your permanent account exists. Guest records may be deleted after roughly 24 hours of inactivity. Guests saving by email have a seven-day confirmation window. 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.

Section 5

Who we share data with

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 processors acting on our instructions: Lovable (app hosting), Supabase (database and sign-in), and Cloudflare (network delivery), plus Google if you choose Google sign-in. Ronoplex can also request public @Ronoplexis posts from X on the server for the homepage feed. Some of these providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States, under standard contractual safeguards. We otherwise disclose data only where we are legally required to.

Section 6

Your rights

You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, or delete your account and its civilization. You can delete your account yourself at any time from Profile → Delete account, or email Help@ronoplex.com from the address on the account. 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.

Section 7

Children under 13

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.

Section 8

Security

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.
