Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Semih Coşgun, the developer of ION RUSH, handles information when you use the iOS or Android game. For support or privacy inquiries, email cosgunnsemihh@gmail.com.

Information kept on your device

ION RUSH stores game progress, scores, settings, discoveries and your NOVA balance locally on your device. The game does not create an account and does not ask for your name, email address, contacts, precise location, camera or microphone. You can erase local data from Android's app settings or by deleting the app on iOS. Offloading an iOS app keeps its documents; choose Delete App to erase them.

Optional analytics and crash diagnostics

Analytics and crash reporting are off until you choose Allow Sharing. If enabled, ION RUSH uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to process gameplay progress and actions, app and device information, performance and diagnostic data, crash logs, an IP-derived approximate region, and a pseudonymous installation identifier. We use this information to balance the game, diagnose failures and improve performance. We do not send names, email addresses, free-form messages or precise GPS location.

You can turn analytics sharing off in Settings at any time. This stops future collection, clears reports still queued by ION RUSH on your device and resets the analytics identifier. It does not automatically delete reports previously sent to Firebase. A local analytics queue, when used, is limited to 500 records and 72 hours.

Optional rewarded advertising

ION RUSH uses Google Mobile Ads for one optional rewarded-ad placement. After any privacy choice required for your region, the app may preload a rewarded ad. The ad is shown only when you choose Watch Ad for a revive or to earn 1 NOVA. You can reject it and end the run instead. The promised in-game reward is granted only after Google reports that the required ad interaction was completed.

Google Mobile Ads may automatically collect and share an IP address, app launch, tap and video-view interactions, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention. The Android advertising-ID permission is explicitly disabled in ION RUSH, although Google may process other identifiers such as an app-set identifier. On iOS, ION RUSH requests non-personalised treatment, disables the publisher first-party identifier and does not request access to the iOS advertising identifier. On Android, ads may be personalised, non-personalised or limited according to your region and consent choices.

NOVA and the revive reward can only be used inside ION RUSH. They cannot be transferred, exchanged for money, used to buy real-world goods or sold to another person.

Optional in-app purchases

ION RUSH offers optional packs of consumable NOVA through Apple’s App Store on iOS and Google Play Billing on Android. The relevant store processes the transaction, payment method, applicable taxes, purchase status and fraud-prevention checks. ION RUSH does not receive or store your card or bank details. The app keeps a purchase identifier, product identifier and verified transaction status on your device to deliver the purchased NOVA and prevent duplicate delivery. On iOS, Apple transactions are finished after delivery is saved successfully.

Purchased NOVA is digital game currency with no cash value. It cannot be transferred or exchanged for money or real-world goods. The NOVA balance is stored only on the device. Clearing app data or uninstalling ION RUSH removes unused NOVA, including purchased NOVA, and consumed purchases cannot be restored automatically. Refund requests and payment disputes are handled by the store where you made the purchase under its applicable policies. See Apple refund support or Google Play refund support.

Optional local notifications

Flight reminders are off by default. If you enable them and grant notification permission, the app schedules reminders locally using the language, progress and reminder settings stored on your device. There is no push-notification server and reminder preferences are not sent to us. You can turn reminders off in the game or change notification permission in your device settings.

Consent and privacy controls

Where required, ION RUSH uses Google's User Messaging Platform to show a consent form before requesting an ad. If Google requires a privacy-options entry point for your region, it appears in the game's Settings screen so you can review or change your choice. Analytics consent is controlled separately by the Data Sharing switch.

Service providers and sharing

Optional analytics and advertising data described above is processed by Google through Firebase, Google Mobile Ads and the User Messaging Platform. Payments are processed by Apple’s App Store on iOS or Google Play Billing on Android. It is used for app analytics, crash diagnostics, advertising, ad measurement, consent management, payment processing and fraud prevention. ION RUSH does not sell personal information and does not use another advertising or mediation network. Google may process information on servers outside your country under its own legal safeguards.

Retention and deletion

Local game data remains until you erase the app's data or uninstall it. Google retains information according to the Firebase project settings and Google's applicable retention rules. See the ION RUSH data-deletion page for the request steps, the data covered and information about retention.

Children

ION RUSH is not directed to children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact cosgunnsemihh@gmail.com.

Security and changes

Network data handled by the Google SDKs is encrypted in transit. No security measure can guarantee absolute protection. We may update this policy when the game's features, providers or legal requirements change. The current version and effective date will remain available on this page.
