Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2, 2026

Welcome to Rhythm of the Streets. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our game and services. By playing Rhythm of the Streets, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you register, we collect your email address and display name (player name) to create and manage your account.

Gameplay Data: We collect in-game activity including your character stats, positions, actions, combat history, song recordings, band memberships, and progress (levels, XP, achievements).

Chat & Communications: Messages sent through in-game chat (SOM chat, band chat, private messages) are stored to enable communication features and to moderate for community safety.

Payment Information: If you make a donation or purchase premium items, payment processing is handled securely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card numbers or full payment details on our servers.

Technical Data: We may collect basic technical information such as browser type and session data to maintain the stability and performance of the game.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the game and its features.
  • Authenticate your identity and secure your account.
  • Enable multiplayer gameplay, leaderboards, bands, and social features.
  • Process donations and premium purchases.
  • Enforce our community rules and ban users who violate them.
  • Send game-related notifications (e.g., waitlist alerts for new SOM classes).
  • Analyze gameplay patterns to balance game mechanics.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Some of your in-game data is publicly visible to other players by design — this includes your player name, SOM, level, fame, neighborhood positions, and band affiliations. This is a core part of the multiplayer experience.

We share data with the following trusted service providers only as necessary to operate the game:

  • Base44 — our application platform, which handles authentication, database, and hosting infrastructure.
  • Stripe — payment processing for donations and premium items.
  • Twitch — if you interact with our Twitch integration for live game announcements.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users and platform.

4. Data Retention

Your account and gameplay data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it for legal or safety reasons.

Chat messages and combat logs may be retained for a limited period for moderation and anti-abuse purposes.

5. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. Authentication and data storage are managed through Base44's secure infrastructure. Payment transactions are encrypted via Stripe's PCI-compliant systems.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

Rhythm of the Streets is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has registered, please contact us immediately and we will remove their data.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to request correction of inaccurate data.
  • The right to request deletion of your account and associated data.
  • The right to object to or restrict certain types of data processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below.

8. Cookies & Local Storage

We use browser local storage to remember your in-game preferences (such as your selected character). We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the game after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
