Privacy Policy

iOS App Store app

The iOS app is sold as a paid download through Apple. Payment and billing are handled by Apple; we do not receive your payment card or bank details in the app.

The iOS app does not show advertisements, does not use Google AdMob or similar ad networks, and does not offer in-app purchases or subscriptions. We do not embed analytics SDKs (such as PostHog or Google Analytics) in the iOS build.

Career saves, editor data, and settings are stored locally on your device. An account is not required. The iOS app does not include optional cloud backup or global leaderboard features that appear on the website.

Information we collect

On the paid iOS app and the Steam desktop build, we do not operate account sign-in or ad/analytics backends for gameplay. When you use Retro Manager in a web browser, optional third-party services may collect:

• Device information
• App or page performance and crash data
• Advertising-related data (browser only, if ads are enabled)
• General analytics information (browser only, if enabled)

The list above applies to the browser version only. It does not apply to the iOS App Store app or the Steam desktop build in their current releases.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it.

Steam version

The Windows version distributed through Steam stores careers locally, does not show third-party ads in the game client, and may be subject to Valve Corporation’s privacy practices for the Steam platform.

Advertising (browser only)

The iOS App Store app and the Steam desktop build do not display third-party advertisements and do not integrate mobile ad SDKs such as Google AdMob.

If you play in a web browser at retromanager.net, the site may show Google AdSense or similar ads on some pages when enabled. Those ads are not shown inside the iOS or Steam apps.

Tracking

The iOS App Store app does not use the App Tracking Transparency prompt or advertising identifiers for cross-app tracking in the current release. The Steam desktop build does not use ad tracking for gameplay.

The browser version may use analytics cookies or similar technologies on marketing pages when enabled. If tracking or advertising technologies are added to native apps in future versions, we will update this policy and provide any required platform permissions.

Data storage

On iOS and Steam, gameplay settings and career saves are stored on your device. On the browser version, data may also be stored in your browser storage or, if you opt in, in Supabase cloud backup.

Children’s privacy

Retro Manager is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

Your rights

Depending on your region, you may have rights regarding access to, deletion of, or restriction of your data.

On the website only, you may manage advertising and analytics consent through your browser or site settings where available. The iOS and Steam apps do not expose ad preference controls because they do not serve third-party ads.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions will be posted at this URL with a revised effective date.
