Retro Companion

Privacy

The app works without an account, and then nothing leaves your computer. This page is about the optional account. It keeps your trophies when you play on another computer and puts you on the leaderboard.

What the server keeps

Your settings stay on your computer. That includes where your ROMs are and your MobyGames key.

What is public

The leaderboard shows your player name, points, level and trophy counts. It never shows your email address.

Addresses and logs

The web server keeps no access log. To slow down password guessing, the server counts sign-in attempts per network address in memory for up to an hour. These counts are not saved anywhere.

Where

The server is a Hetzner machine in Helsinki, Finland. Password reset emails go out through Resend, which sees your email address for that one message.

How long

Your data stays until you delete the account. In the app, open Profile and click Delete account. The account and its data are removed from the server at once. Database backups roll over within 14 days, and Hetzner's own server backups within 7.

Your rights

You can see your data in the app and delete it there. Your own copy is in the settings file on your computer.

Who runs it

Kemény Gergely, 2363 Felsőpakony, Eötvös u. 28., Hungary. Write to this address with any question about your data. You can also complain to the Hungarian data protection authority (NAIH, naih.hu).
