At a glance
This Privacy Policy describes Rovel for iPhone, version 1.0, as of October 26, 2026. It covers the App, not Apple’s services, your email provider, or other third-party apps you choose to use.
Information stored on your iPhone
The App saves information needed to run your game and the features you use. This may include level progress, best times, stars, achievements, settings, the active save slot, coin balance, purchase transaction identifiers used to prevent duplicate coin credit, custom levels, and diary entries.
Photos and audio recordings are saved only when you choose to take or select a photo, record audio, and save it to the Journey Diary. These items remain in Rovel’s local app storage unless you export them. Rovel does not receive your game saves, custom levels, diary photos, or recordings on a Rovel server.
The App does not provide account registration, advertising, third-party analytics, or cross-device syncing in this version. The App’s privacy manifest declares that it does not track users and does not declare collected data types.
Camera, photos, and microphone
- Camera: Requested only when you tap the camera option in the Journey Diary. The adjacent photo-library option remains available if camera access is denied or unavailable.
- Photos: The iOS photo picker lets you choose a photo for the diary. Rovel does not scan your photo library.
- Microphone: Requested only when you start an audio recording in the Journey Diary. The recording is saved locally only if you choose to save it.
You can deny or later change camera or microphone access in iOS Settings. The game, editor, and save features do not require those permissions. You can delete saved diary items from within the App.
Network requests and tracking prompt
During the first launch after installation, Rovel sends an HTTP HEAD request to https://www.apple.com/ as a one-time connectivity checkpoint. The App records that this checkpoint has been handled. The request is sent to Apple, not to a Rovel server. The App does not attach gameplay, save files, photos, recordings, or a Rovel account identifier to this request. Apple may receive the IP address and ordinary network/request information needed to handle it. Rovel ignores the response content.
The App may also call Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework and show its system permission prompt when the tracking status has not yet been decided. The current source contains no advertising or analytics SDK and does not use the permission result to enable cross-app tracking or gate game features. You may allow or deny the request; either choice allows you to continue into the game. See Apple’s explanation of App Tracking Transparency.
App Store purchases
Optional coin packs are processed by Apple’s in-app purchase system using StoreKit. Apple handles your Apple Account, payment method, billing, and the transaction process under Apple’s own terms and privacy practices. Rovel does not receive your full payment-card number or Apple Account password.
The App receives transaction details needed to verify and deliver a coin pack, and stores transaction identifiers in the local save to avoid crediting the same transaction twice. Coin balance is local and is not synchronized through a Rovel account. Apple’s privacy policy is available at apple.com/legal/privacy.
When information leaves your device
If you export a save, custom level, photo, or recording using the iOS share sheet, the file goes to the app or destination you select. The receiving service’s privacy policy then applies. Rovel does not choose that destination for you.
If you email support, we receive the email address and the information you include in your message. We use it to reply and resolve the request. Your email provider and our email-hosting provider may process the message to deliver and store it. Please do not send passwords, full payment-card details, or private media unless we explain a specific need.
Retention, deletion, and security
Local game saves and diary items remain on the iPhone until you delete or reset them, remove the App, or the device removes the App’s data. You can delete diary entries in Rovel and reset the current save in Data Management. Resetting a save creates a local backup before replacing that save; this may leave a backup file on the device.
Rovel has no account system or server-side copy of your local game data to retrieve or delete. iOS or computer backups may include app data depending on your device and backup settings. Use a device passcode and keep exports or backups secure. No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Support emails are kept only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain a support record, or meet legal obligations, then deleted or anonymized when practical.
Your choices and privacy rights
You can choose whether to use camera and microphone features, select individual photos, export files, or send a support email. You can change camera, microphone, and App Tracking Transparency choices in iOS Settings. Denying optional permissions does not block the game.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal information. Because Rovel stores game data locally and does not operate an account or game-data server, most game-data access and deletion is controlled on your device. For a question or a request about information in a support email, contact support@rovelgame.com. We will respond as required by applicable law.
Children and changes
Rovel does not require a child or adult account and the App does not knowingly collect personal information from children through a Rovel server. If you believe a child has sent personal information to our support address, contact us and we will review the request.
We may update this Policy when the App or its data practices change. The date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be reflected in an updated policy.

For privacy questions or requests, email support@rovelgame.com. Include enough detail for us to understand your request, but do not include your Apple Account password or full payment details. See the Rovel Support page for help with local saves, media, and App Store purchases.
