Rigmarole privacy policy

Effective 12 November 2026. Applies to both Android apps: Rigmarole (dev.garageai.rigmarole) and Rigmarole Full (dev.garageai.rigmarole.full), published by Garage AI, and to the Linux and Windows builds of the same game.

In short

Rigmarole collects nothing about you. It has no ads, no analytics and no accounts. From version 0.7.0 it uses the internet for one thing: downloading new levels (Benches) from reiners.io. It never sends anything about you or your play to us or to anyone else. The one exception is the optional purchase in the free Android app, which goes through Google Play (see "The optional purchase" below).

What the game stores, on your device only

These files stay in the app's private storage on your device. They are not shared, and on Android they are left out of device backups. Uninstalling the app deletes them. On Linux and Windows the game engine also keeps a few plain text log files of its own start-up messages beside them; those stay on your computer too.

What the game downloads

From version 0.7.0 the game asks for the internet permission so that new Benches can reach you without an app update. It downloads a signed list of Benches and the level files themselves from https://reiners.io/games/rigmarole/benches/, and nothing else is sent: the requests are plain file requests and carry no account, no device identifier and nothing about what you have played. A request carries what any web request does: your IP address and the app's user agent. The server keeps a standard web access log of requests. Downloaded files are kept in the app's private storage; a download that fails or does not verify changes nothing, and the game plays offline from what it already has.

The optional purchase

The free Android app (dev.garageai.rigmarole) has one optional purchase, "Unlock every Bench", which goes through Google Play. Google Play processes the payment and keeps the purchase record, under Google's privacy policy, and Google's billing library in the app talks to Google Play for that and may send Google its own diagnostics; we do not receive your payment details, your name or your account. The app stores only a local note on your device that it is unlocked (unlock.cfg), which uninstalling the app deletes, and it asks Google Play for your purchases when it starts so the unlock comes back on a new phone. If Rigmarole Full is installed on the same phone the free app can tell, on the device only, and then unlocks without a purchase. Rigmarole Full and the Linux and Windows builds have no purchase inside them.

What the game collects

Nothing. There are no ads, no analytics or crash-reporting services, no sign-in, no chat and no content made by other players. We do not receive your name, email address, location, device identifiers or anything you do in the game. Apart from the access log described above, nothing is recorded about the download requests.

When you install or buy the app, Google Play handles the download and the payment under Google's own privacy policy. We do not get your payment details from it.

Children

Rigmarole is suitable for everyone. Because it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children either.

Changes

If a future version ever changes any of this, this page will say so before that version is released, with a new date at the top.
