Privacy policy

Last updated: 28 October 2026

RetroHub is an old-fashioned services terminal. It plays without an account: everything below concerns only what travels, and who receives it.

The account is optional

You can play everything, without exception, without ever creating an account. The account serves two purposes only: carrying your name on the high-score board, and acting as the footing for entitlements and purchases to come. As long as you do not open one, nothing in this section applies to you.

What the account holds

An account is opened through an identity service that you choose. What is kept then:

• An account number, drawn at random. It is what identifies you with us, and it means nothing anywhere else.
• Your email address, if the identity service passes it to us. Some do, some do not, and some provide a relay address that hides yours. We take what comes and ask for nothing more.
• A chosen name, which you pick yourself — see the next section.
• A fingerprint of the link with the identity service. It is a digest, not the identifier it gave us: it lets us recognise you at the next sign-in without keeping the original value.

We ask for neither your real name, nor your photograph, nor your contact list. None of this information is sold, rented or passed to a third party.

The high-score board

If you open an account and choose a name, your best scores may appear on it. This board is public inside the application: other players see the chosen name and the score there, and nothing else. Neither your address nor your account number leaves it.

So choose a name you are willing to show. You may change it; the board follows at once.

Deleting your account

Deletion is done from within the application, in the terminal's settings, under “My account”. It takes the account with it, its address if there was one, its chosen name and the fingerprint of the link with the identity service. Your scores disappear from the board at the same moment: they were attached to it only by the account number, which no longer exists.

No email request is needed, and nothing is kept “just in case”.

What stays on your device

Your settings — screen rendering, sounds, cinema application, the last tile you chose, your answer to the question about advertising — are kept locally, on your device only. Your hangman points too. None of it is sent anywhere, and all of it disappears when you uninstall the application.

Playing together

Some games are played across several devices. A room is joined with a code; what travels then is the moves played and the course of the game. The room keeps nothing: it disappears with the game.

The shared room, in virtual reality

RetroHub VR lets two people sit in the same virtual room, in front of the same terminal. They meet with a room code, or with an invitation sent from the headset.

What the app receives from the headset platform

For these sessions, RetroHub VR asks the headset platform for five features, and uses them as follows:

• Your user ID on the platform. It is sent to the other participant of the session, and to them only, so their headset can show your own avatar. It is used for nothing else: not to track you, and not to recognise you from one session to the next.
• Your avatar. The app shows it in your place in the room, and the posture of your head and hands is sent to the other participant so they can see you move.
• Your friends list. It only appears in the headset's invitation window, when you choose whom to invite. RetroHub VR does not read it, keep it, or pass it on to anyone.
• Invitations. When you invite someone, the invitation carries the room code, and nothing else.
• Deep links. When a friend accepts your invitation, this link opens RetroHub VR directly in your room.

What travels during the session

During the session, and only during it, the picture and sound of the host's terminal, the guest's key presses, and your voice if you allow the app to use the microphone also travel between the two headsets. The voice is used for the conversation between participants; it is not recorded, and the microphone closes with the session.

All of this goes through our relay, salons.inter-systeme.ca, which forwards it to the other participant without reading or keeping it. None of this data is stored, sold, or shared with third parties, and nothing is kept when the session ends.

Requesting deletion of your data

You can ask at any time for any data about you to be deleted by writing to admin@inter-systeme.ca. Since RetroHub VR keeps neither your ID, your avatar, your friends list nor your invitations, the reply will confirm what we checked; if we nevertheless found data about you, it would be deleted within thirty days. If you also have a RetroHub account, it is deleted in the app, as described above.

The services shown

The weather, the quotes, the horoscope, the sports bulletin, the news and the lottery results come from a content service operated by Inter-Système. The application requests these public pages; it sends no data that identifies you along with its request.

Usage measurement

RetroHub measures what people do with the terminal, for its publisher only. Three events, and no more: the app starting up, the number of the tile that was opened, and the game played with its duration. No scores, no nicknames, no game content.

Every submission carries a device identifier, the platform, the app version, the display language and, at startup, the subscription state the terminal declares. The service that receives them also keeps the IP address of the call.

This is used to understand which services get used, to fix defects, and for security — spotting cheating in games, abnormal calls, and modified copies that declare themselves subscribed without being so. The count of terminals claiming to be paid is, in that respect, an anti-piracy measure; it grants no entitlement and removes none, yours being verified by your store and by it alone.

That service has a name of its own, usage.inter-systeme.ca, separate from the one that carries accounts and games. This is not a flourish: on iPhone and iPad, declining Apple's tracking prompt blocks connections to that name, and only to that one — your account, your games and the verification of your subscription keep working.

On iPhone and iPad this measurement can therefore be avoided entirely: decline, and nothing more goes to that service. On Android, Windows and televisions, where the system does not ask that question, the measurement happens every time the app talks to that service.

What your answer to that prompt changes. If you accept, the measurement may be linked to your account, and the publisher then sees what you do with the terminal, device by device. If you decline, or if you are never asked — which is the case on Android, Windows and televisions — no account number is recorded: only the device, the platform, the version and the IP address remain, and those lines serve only debugging, security and cheat detection. The rule is enforced by the service itself, not by the app: a terminal that sent your identity by mistake after a refusal could not create the link.

These measurements are sold to no one, shared with no third party, and used for no advertising.

Advertising

RetroHub is free and is paid for by advertising. Half the time, the slot shows a banner drawn by the application, which communicates with nobody. The other half, it shows an ad supplied by Liftoff Monetize.

To choose and measure its ads, Liftoff may collect an advertising identifier, technical information about the device and an approximate location inferred from the IP address. That processing is Liftoff's and falls under its own policy, which you can read at liftoff.io.

Your choice about targeting

The first time you switch it on, RetroHub asks whether ads may take your interests into account. Refusing does not remove the advertising — it stays, but generic. Until you have answered, no ad is requested. You may change your mind at any time in the terminal's settings.

What opens outside RetroHub

Some tiles open another application or a website: a list of videos, an application's store page, or a media player installed on your device. As soon as you leave RetroHub, it is that service's privacy policy that applies, not this one.

Children

RetroHub is not directed to children in particular and does not seek to knowingly collect information concerning them.

Your choices

You may reset or erase your advertising identifier in your device's settings. You may delete your account from within the application. And you may stop all collection linked to the application by ceasing to use it and deleting it: its local settings go with it.

Contacting us

For any question concerning this policy, or to exercise your rights of access and correction, write to admin@inter-systeme.ca.

Changes

This policy may be updated if RetroHub's features or legal requirements change. The update date, at the top of the page, is then changed.
