Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ValBuddy ("the app", "we", "the developer") handles information when you use the ValBuddy mobile app for iOS and Android and this website. If you have any questions, you can reach us at curet@valbuddy.app.

1. Data we do not collect

ValBuddy does not operate any backend servers, so there is nothing on our side that could collect or log your data. We do not collect, store or have access to your Riot credentials, your game data, your contacts, your location, your IP address, or any usage analytics. When you sign in, the login takes place in a secure in-app web view on auth.riotgames.com, Riot's official login page — your username and password are entered directly with Riot and are never visible to the app or to us.

2. Riot account data on your device

After you sign in, Riot issues access and entitlement tokens and session cookies. These are stored exclusively in your device's secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore), scoped per account, for up to five accounts. Game data shown in the app — such as your store rotation, bundles, Night Market offers and wallet balances — is fetched directly from Riot's APIs to your device and cached locally for performance.

All of this data is removed when you sign an account out in the app's settings or uninstall the app.

3. No ads, purchases or tracking

ValBuddy is free, with no advertising and no in-app purchases. The app integrates no advertising, analytics or tracking SDKs, shows no consent or App Tracking Transparency prompts, and does not process device identifiers for advertising or measurement.

4. Notifications

If you enable notifications (for example, store reset reminders), they are local notifications scheduled entirely on your device. No push notification tokens are sent to any server.

5. Third-party services

Service	Purpose	Privacy policy
Riot Games	Sign-in and your game data (store, wallet, etc.)	Riot Privacy Notice
valorant-api.com	Public game catalog data and images (sees your IP address when loading assets)	valorant-api.com
Apple / Google	App distribution	Apple / Google

6. Data retention and deletion

Everything ValBuddy itself stores lives on your device. You can delete it at any time by removing accounts in the app's settings, clearing the app's cache, or uninstalling the app. Data processed by the third parties listed above is retained according to their own policies.

7. Children

ValBuddy is not directed at children under the age of 16, and using it requires a Riot Games account, which is subject to Riot's own age requirements.

8. Your rights (GDPR / EEA)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the controller for any processing described here is ValBuddy, reachable at curet@valbuddy.app. Where processing occurs, the legal basis is performance of a contract (providing the app). You have the right to access, rectify, erase and object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Note that because ValBuddy stores no personal data on any server of ours, most requests will concern the third parties listed in section 5, which you can contact directly.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision; material changes will be highlighted in the app or on this website.
