Privacy Policy

Riskelo US (iPhone, iPad, Mac) · Version 1.0 · Last updated: September 10, 2026

1. Who is responsible

Riskelo US is published by Robert Oulhen, an independent developer, acting as data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and as a business within the meaning of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

2. What the app does not collect

Riskelo US collects none of the following:

• name, email address, phone number, account identifier;
• location, address book, photos, calendar, microphone, camera;
• advertising identifiers (IDFA), device identifiers used for tracking;
• usage statistics, analytics, telemetry, usage logs.

The app embeds no third-party kit: no ad network, no analytics tool, no social network, no authentication service. It makes no request to any server, and works entirely offline.

In App Store privacy-label terms, Riskelo US is declared Data Not Collected.

Because nothing is collected, nothing is sold or shared, and there is no tracking across apps or websites. Under the CCPA/CPRA there is no personal information to sell, share, disclose or delete; under the GDPR there is no processing beyond what is described in section 3, which never leaves your device.

3. What is kept on your device

To work, the game writes files inside its own storage, on the device and nowhere else:

These files hold nothing but the state of the game: territories, men, scores by subject, the log of moves, and the side names you may have typed yourself. They contain nothing that identifies you.

They are removed with the app: deleting Riskelo US erases all of it, permanently and with nothing left behind. If you use iCloud Backup or a local backup, Apple may include these files in that backup — that is a function of your device, governed by Apple's own privacy policy, and the publisher has no access to it.

4. Playing on several devices

Multi-device play uses Apple's Network framework: devices find each other with Bonjour and talk over TCP, directly between themselves — over the local Wi-Fi network, or device to device over Wi-Fi when there is no network. No server is involved, and nothing travels over the internet.

Two points of transparency:

• Your device's name is visible to nearby devices that have opened the same screen, while a table is being looked for. It is the name you gave your device (for example "Camille's iPhone"); it is used only so the people you are playing with can recognize you in the list. You can change it in Settings ▸ General ▸ About ▸ Name.
• Only the moves of the game travel — a few dozen bytes describing a reinforcement, an assault or an answer. Nothing is kept after the game, on your device or on anyone else's.

The "local network" permission the system asks for is used for this and nothing else. Refusing it does not stop you playing alone or with several players around one device.

5. Purchases

Riskelo US offers seventeen optional question packs. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple, through the App Store. The publisher never sees your name, your email address, your payment method or your card number, and receives no personal data from a purchase.

What the app stores on the device is only the list of packs that have been unlocked, so it knows what to offer you. Restoring purchases asks Apple, not the publisher.

Apple's handling of a transaction is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

6. What Apple may receive

Independently of Riskelo US, Apple collects certain information related to downloading and using apps (purchase, installation, aggregate statistics).

If you have agreed to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may pass on crash reports and anonymous, aggregated statistics. That is the only form in which the publisher can see them, and those reports identify nobody. You can turn this off at any time in Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Analytics & Improvements.

7. Children

Riskelo US collects no data, whatever the age of the player, and contains no advertising, no links to social networks and no user-generated content. Nothing is transmitted, so nothing about a child can be transmitted either. On that basis the app is consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): it collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Note, honestly, that the app does offer in-app purchases — the seventeen question packs. Several of them are written for grades 6 through 9, so children may well be the ones playing. A purchase always goes through the App Store and requires whatever authentication the device is set to demand. If you want to prevent purchases entirely, use Screen Time ▸ Content & Privacy Restrictions ▸ iTunes & App Store Purchases ▸ In-app Purchases ▸ Don't Allow, or turn on Ask to Buy for a child's account in Family Sharing.

The questions themselves are written for a school-age reader. History and Geography touch war, slavery and genocide the way a school textbook does — named as facts in a multiple-choice question, never depicted.

8. Your rights

Since no personal data is collected or held by the publisher, there is nothing to access, correct, port, restrict or delete on the publisher's side, and nothing to opt out of. The data written by the game is under your sole control, on your device: deleting the app removes it entirely.

If you believe otherwise, or want to ask about any of this, write to bob.oulhen@gmail.com. Residents of the European Union may also lodge a complaint with their national supervisory authority.

9. This site

This site is served by GitHub Pages as static files. It sets no cookie, runs no analytics and embeds nothing from a third party. GitHub may keep technical server logs, in accordance with its own privacy statement.

10. Changes

Any change to this policy will be published on this page with a new date at the top. A change that affected how data is handled would be announced in the app's release notes as well — though, the app collecting nothing, such a change would mean a different app.
