What we collect
RustBuddy processes data required to pair with Rust+ and operate companion features:
- Rust+ pairing tokens and server connection details you configure in the app
- Discord user and guild identifiers when you link your account or invite the bot
- Steam identifiers associated with your Rust+ pairing (as provided by the Rust+ API)
- App settings, device configurations, and automation rules you create
- Optional BattleMetrics API usage when you enable player tracking
How we use data
We use this information solely to deliver RustBuddy features: live map data, team tools, Discord panels, cloud command handling, notifications, and account linking. We do not sell your personal data.
Cloud mode
When cloud mode is enabled, pairing state and settings may be stored on the RustBuddy backend so commands and Discord integrations work while your PC is offline. You can disable cloud sync from the desktop app.
Data retention
Local data remains on your device under your control. Cloud-stored session data is retained while your account is active and removed when you unlink or delete your session, subject to routine backups with limited retention.
Third parties
RustBuddy integrates with Facepunch Rust+ APIs, Discord, Steam (via Rust+), and optionally BattleMetrics. Each service has its own privacy policy governing data they process.
Your choices
You can revoke Discord access, delete local app data, disable cloud mode, and remove the bot from your server at any time. For data requests, contact us via the support page.
