Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 10, 2026

Summary

SpikeHub (“we”) is developed by Raphael Ruedo. This policy explains what data the app collects, why, and your choices. Contact: spikehub.vlr@gmail.com.

Data we collect

  • Account data — when you sign in, we store your display name, avatar, and authentication identifiers via Firebase Authentication.
  • Riot account link — sign-in with Riot uses Riot Sign-On (RSO). We never see or store your Riot credentials; we receive only the game identifiers Riot exposes (Riot ID, region, rank and match-related data) to build your profile.
  • Profile and social content — information you add to your profile (languages, platform, game preferences, teams), posts, comments, chat messages, and LFG rooms are stored in Firebase (Firestore/Storage) and are visible to other users according to the app’s features.
  • Daily shop and shop history — when you open the shop in the app, we record the identifiers of the skins in your daily shop, with no prices and no purchase data. We use this to build your personal shop history, linked to your account, and to calculate aggregate statistics on how often skins appear across all users. The aggregate statistics do not identify you.
  • Favorite skins — the skins you mark as favorites are saved to your account. To notify you when one of them enters your shop, the check is performed on your own device.
  • Automatic translation — to translate posts, comments, and room messages, the text of the content is sent to Google’s Gemini service. We send only the text, without your name or any identifier. The translation is saved alongside the content.
  • Subscription (SPIKEHUB PRO) — purchases are processed by Apple or Google. We use RevenueCat to manage the subscription; it receives an identifier of your account and the purchase status. We do not receive or store your card details.
  • GIFs — GIF search uses Giphy. The terms you search for are sent to Giphy.
  • Usage and diagnostics — Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics collect anonymized usage statistics and crash reports to help us improve the app.
  • Advertising — Google AdMob and its mediation partners (Unity Ads) may process your advertising ID to serve ads. Where required, consent is collected through the ad consent flow on first launch.

What we do NOT collect

We do not collect your Riot password, real name, precise location, or contact list. We do not record what you buy in the game’s store or how much you spend. We do not sell personal data.

Data retention and deletion

Your data is kept while your account exists, with these exceptions:

  • the daily shop record used for the aggregate statistics is deleted after 14 days;
  • your personal shop history is kept for up to 24 months.

You can delete your account in the app (Settings → Account → Delete account), which removes your profile, your shop history, and your other personal data from our systems; residual copies in backups are purged on their normal cycle. You can also request deletion by email.

Data sharing

Data is processed by the following services, under their respective privacy policies:

  • Google — Firebase, Analytics, AdMob, and Gemini (translation);
  • Unity Ads — ad serving, as an AdMob mediation partner;
  • RevenueCat — subscription management;
  • Giphy — GIF search;
  • Riot Games — game data, under the Riot Games Privacy Notice.

We do not share personal data with any other third party.

Children

SpikeHub is not directed at children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has created an account, we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy. Significant changes will be announced in the app. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
