Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you play AurenLife on Android (package name: com.ronantointeractive.aurenlife) or visit ronanto.com, who collects it, why, how long it is kept, and the choices you have.

Ronanto Interactive is an independent studio run by a single developer, who designs, builds, and maintains AurenLife and this website. For simplicity, this policy uses "we", "us", and "our" to refer to Ronanto Interactive and its developer; this does not mean that a larger team has access to your information.

1. Who Is Responsible for Your Data

Ron Rommy, sole developer, trading as Ronanto Interactive, is the data controller for the information described in this policy. You can reach the developer using the email address in Section 15.

Our partners, Google AdMob and Google Play, are independently responsible for the data they collect under their own privacy policies, linked below.

2. The Short Version

  • No accounts. AurenLife never asks for your name, email address, or phone number. Your saves stay on your device.
  • Ads from Google AdMob. AurenLife shows interstitial ads between in-game years and optional rewarded ads you choose to watch. Google collects device data to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it, you are asked for consent before any ad is requested.
  • No analytics or crash reporting. The game contains no analytics, crash-reporting, or tracking SDKs of our own. We do not see how you play.
  • Payments handled by Google. Optional purchases go through Google Play. We never receive your card or payment details.
  • We do not sell your personal data.

3. Data Stored on Your Device

Your lives, characters, relationships, careers, finances, businesses, settings, and purchased features are stored only in AurenLife's private storage on your device (save files plus Unity PlayerPrefs for preferences such as sound, haptics, and unlocked purchases). We run no game servers and cannot see this data.

You can delete individual lives from the in-game menu, or delete everything by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the game. Your device's own backup service (for example, Google backup) may copy app data under that service's terms.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

AurenLife uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to show two ad formats: interstitial ads, which may appear between in-game years, and rewarded ads, which play only when you choose to watch one in exchange for an in-game shortcut. The game does not show banner ads.

When an ad is requested or shown, Google may collect:

  • your device's Google Advertising ID (a resettable identifier) and other app-instance identifiers;
  • your IP address, and a general location derived from it;
  • device details, such as model, operating system, language, screen size, and network type;
  • how you interact with ads, such as impressions, clicks, and video completions, along with diagnostic and anti-fraud signals.

Google uses this data to deliver ads, limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud, measure ad performance and, only where permitted by your choices, show personalized ads.

Your choices:

  • Consent form. AurenLife uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). Where required by law (for example, in the EEA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and certain US states), a consent form is shown on first launch and no ads are requested until your choice is recorded.
  • Change your choice at any time. Open the in-game menu and tap Ad Privacy Options. The button appears whenever it applies to your region.
  • Advertising ID. On Android 12 and newer, go to Settings > Google > Ads and tap Delete advertising ID. On earlier versions, enable Opt out of Ads Personalization or tap Reset advertising ID in the same place.
  • Remove Ads. The optional "Remove Ads" purchase permanently removes interstitial ads. Rewarded ads remain available only when you choose to watch one.

Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

5. In-App Purchases (Google Play)

AurenLife offers three optional, one-time purchases: Custom Mode, Remove Ads, and Starter Cash. The game is fully playable without them.

Purchases are processed by Google Play Billing (through Unity In-App Purchasing). Google handles the payment and sends the game only a confirmation of what you bought so it can unlock the item on your device. We never receive your name, card, bank, or billing details. Google's privacy policy and the Google Play Terms of Service apply to the payment.

6. Device Permissions

  • android.permission.INTERNET and android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: to request ads and verify purchases with Google Play.
  • com.android.vending.BILLING: to make purchases through Google Play.
  • android.permission.VIBRATE: for optional haptic feedback on taps, which you can turn off in the game's settings.

The Google Mobile Ads SDK may also declare technical permissions, such as the advertising ID permission. AurenLife does not access your precise location, contacts, camera, microphone, phone, or files outside its own private storage.

7. Website (ronanto.com)

ronanto.com is a static informational website. It sets no tracking cookies and uses no analytics or third-party tracking scripts. Like any website, the hosting provider receives standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type, and request time) in server logs, which are kept briefly for security and troubleshooting and are not used to profile visitors.

8. Emails You Send Us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it only to answer you and fix problems, keep it only as long as needed for that, and then delete it unless the law requires us to keep it. Please do not send sensitive personal information by email.

9. Legal Bases (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)

  • Personalized ads: your consent, collected through the consent form. You can withdraw it at any time via Ad Privacy Options, without affecting earlier processing.
  • Non-personalized ads, ad measurement, and fraud prevention: our legitimate interest in funding a free game, together with Google's own legal bases.
  • Purchases: performing our contract with you.
  • Emails: responding to your request.

10. Who Receives Data and International Transfers

  • Google (AdMob), for advertising.
  • Google (Play), for purchases and app store services.

We do not sell your personal data or share it with anyone else, except where the law requires. Google may process data in the United States and other countries; it protects such transfers with the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

11. Data Retention

Game data stays on your device until you delete it. Data collected by Google is retained under Google's own retention policies and your Google account settings. Emails are kept only as described in Section 8.

12. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its use, to receive a copy, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.

Because AurenLife has no accounts and we hold no gameplay data, the quickest controls are Ad Privacy Options in the game and your device's advertising ID settings. For anything else, email us. If you live in the EEA or UK, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.

13. Children

AurenLife is not directed to children under 13. It contains mature life themes, and you should meet the age rating shown on Google Play to play. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

14. Security, Links, and Changes

We keep as little data as possible and rely on Google's security for ads and payments. Only the developer can read emails sent to us. The game and website link to sites we do not run (such as Google Play, Icons8, and our social media pages), whose own privacy policies apply. We will update this policy when the game, our partners, or the law change, and update the date at the top of this page.
