Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

Rush Social ("Rush", "we", "us", or "our") operates the Rush mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have. By using Rush you agree to the practices described here.

Rush is operated by QG Media, based in The Hague, Netherlands. For all data-related enquiries, contact us at info@rush-social.com.

1. Data we collect

We collect information you provide directly when you create an account or use the app:

Account data — email address, username, and profile photo you upload.
Content — posts, photos, short videos (Rolls), comments, and gambling session results you choose to share.
Payment information — if applicable, billing details processed through our payment provider. We do not store full card numbers on our servers; payment data is handled by a PCI-compliant third-party processor.
Usage data — interactions within the app such as likes, follows, leaderboard activity, and features used.
Device data — device type, operating system version, and anonymised crash reports used to improve stability.

2. Why we collect it

To create and maintain your account.
To operate features including the feed, Rolls, Rankings, and leaderboards.
To process any payments and prevent fraud.
To send transactional notifications (e.g. email confirmation, password reset).
To improve the app by understanding how features are used.
To enforce our Terms of Use and comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal basis (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

Contract — processing necessary to provide you the service you signed up for.
Legitimate interests — improving the app, preventing abuse, and ensuring security.
Legal obligation — complying with applicable laws.
Consent — where we ask for your permission (e.g. optional marketing communications).

4. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:

Service providers — infrastructure, hosting, content moderation, and payment processing partners who act on our instructions.
Other users — your username, profile photo, posts, and leaderboard results are visible to other Rush users according to your privacy settings (public or private account).
Legal authorities — when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of users or third parties.

5. Content moderation

Uploaded images and videos are automatically scanned for illegal or harmful content using third-party moderation technology. This processing occurs before content is published on the platform.

6. Data retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal data and content are permanently removed within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

7. Your rights

If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate data.
Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
Object to or restrict certain processing.
Receive your data in a portable format.
Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@rush-social.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Minors

Rush is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has registered, please contact us and we will remove the account promptly.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures including encrypted data transmission (TLS), secure storage, and access controls to protect your data. No system is completely secure; in the event of a data breach we will notify affected users as required by law.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the app or email. Continued use of Rush after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
