The Simple Version

RuneGlass is built for OSRS players, by an OSRS player. We believe your privacy should be as protected as your bank PIN. This policy explains what data we collect (spoiler: very little), how we use it, and your rights.

What Information We Collect

OSRS Game Data (Public Information)

When you search for a player, we fetch publicly available data from the official Old School RuneScape Hiscores API. This includes skill levels, experience points, and rankings that are already publicly accessible to anyone.

Grand Exchange Prices

We fetch current item prices and trends from publicly available Grand Exchange APIs. This data is the same information you'd see in-game or on the official OSRS website.

App Analytics (PostHog)

To improve RuneGlass and fix bugs, we collect anonymous usage analytics through PostHog:

Which app features you use (anonymously)
App performance metrics and crash reports
Device info (iOS version, app version, device model)
Anonymous usage patterns to improve UX

Important: No personal data, usernames, or OSRS account information is sent to PostHog.

What We DON'T Collect

No personal information (name, email, address)
No account creation or registration required
No login credentials or passwords
No tracking across other websites or apps
No advertising or marketing tracking
No OSRS usernames or account data in analytics

How We Use Your Information

Display Player Stats: Show you the OSRS player information you searched for

Calculate XP Goals: Help you plan your training with our skill calculators

Show Market Data: Display current Grand Exchange prices and trends

Improve the App: Analyze anonymous usage patterns via PostHog to fix bugs, improve performance, and add features

Data Storage & Security

Local Storage: RuneGlass stores your recent searches and calculator settings locally on your device. This personal data never leaves your phone and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Analytics Data: Anonymous usage analytics are sent to PostHog to help us improve the app. This includes feature usage and performance data, but no personal information or OSRS usernames.

No Personal Data Sync: We don't store your personal data on our servers. Your search history and settings stay on your device only.

API Security: All communication with OSRS APIs happens over encrypted HTTPS connections.

Third-Party Services

Old School RuneScape APIs

We fetch data from official OSRS APIs (Hiscores, Grand Exchange) operated by Jagex Ltd. These requests only include the player username you search for — no personal information is sent.

PostHog Analytics

We use PostHog for anonymous app analytics to understand how RuneGlass is used and to fix bugs. PostHog processes this data according to their privacy policy. No personal information or OSRS account data is sent to PostHog.

Apple App Store

RuneGlass is distributed through the Apple App Store, which has its own privacy policy. Apple may collect analytics about app downloads and usage according to their policies.

Your Rights & Choices

Since RuneGlass doesn't collect personal information, there's not much to manage. But here's what you can do:

Clear Local Data: Delete the app to remove all locally stored search history and settings

Analytics Opt-out: Contact us to request analytics data deletion, or check app settings for analytics preferences (if available)

Contact Us: Reach out to jeroen@breevoortdesign.com with any privacy concerns

Children's Privacy

RuneGlass is designed to be safe for all ages. Since we don't collect personal information, children can use the app safely. However, we recommend parental supervision for younger users, as with any internet-connected application.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and may notify users through the app. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
