RCONsole is a remote administration app for game servers that you run or manage. This policy explains what happens to your data when you use it.
From version 1.1, your server list and custom commands sync to your other devices through your own iCloud account, and your passwords and RustMaps key sync through iCloud Keychain (end-to-end encrypted) if you have it turned on. This data is stored by Apple in your iCloud account; the developer cannot see or access it. If you aren’t signed in to iCloud, or iCloud Keychain is off, that data stays on your device.
Apart from iCloud, this data never leaves your device except as described below. Deleting the app removes it from that device. Depending on your iOS settings, it may also be included in your own iCloud or device backups, which the developer cannot access.
RCONsole only makes network connections that you set up or trigger:
| Destination | When | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Your iCloud account (Apple) | When you add, change or delete a server or custom command | Your server list and custom commands, plus passwords via iCloud Keychain if it’s on. Only you can access it. |
| The App Store (Apple) | Only if you buy or restore RCONsole Pro | Handled entirely by Apple. The app only learns whether Pro is unlocked; it never sees your payment details. |
| Your game server (the address you enter) | Whenever you open a server, and from time to time in the background if the players-online badge is on | Your RCON password and the console commands you run. Rust’s WebRCON protocol is unencrypted, so use it only on networks you trust. |
| RustMaps (rustmaps.com) | Only if you add a RustMaps API key | Your API key and your server’s map seed and size, to fetch the map image. |
| Custom map image URL | Only if you set one | A normal image request to the address you enter. |
| uMod (umod.org) | When you search for or check plugins | Your search terms and plugin names. |
| RustLabs (rustlabs.com) | When item icons are shown | Requests for item icon images. No personal data is sent. |
| Steam Community (steamcommunity.com) | Only when you tap to open a player’s profile | Opens the profile in your browser. |
| Google AdMob (Google) | In the free version on iPhone and iPad, while ads are shown | Device and ad-related data described under Advertising. Not used in Pro or on the Mac. |
Each of these services has its own privacy policy, which applies to what they receive.
The free version of RCONsole on iPhone and iPad shows a banner ad at the bottom of the screen, served by Google AdMob. Buying RCONsole Pro removes the ads. The Mac app has no ads.
To show and measure ads, Google’s ads SDK collects data such as your device’s IP address and approximate location, device and app information, ad interactions (such as views and taps), and crash and performance data. If you allow tracking when iOS asks, Google may also use your device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) to personalise ads and measure them across other companies’ apps and websites. If you choose “Ask App Not to Track”, the identifier isn’t shared and ads are less personalised.
In the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland and US states with privacy laws that require it, the app shows Google’s consent message before any ads load, and you can change your choices at any time in Settings > Ads > Ad privacy choices. You can also turn off tracking for RCONsole in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
None of this data is sent to the developer. Google’s use of it is covered by Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy, and how Google uses data from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Your server details, passwords and console activity are never shared with Google or any advertiser.
If you turn on join/leave alerts to Discord or ntfy, those are sent by your game server, through the optional AdminApp server plugin, not by the app. The webhook or topic you enter is stored on your server.
Join and leave notifications shown while the app is open are generated on your device. The players-online count on the app icon is also worked out on your device, by asking your servers directly. RCONsole does not use push notification servers.
RCONsole is a tool for server administrators and is not directed at children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
