Privacy policy
Updated 31 October 2026. This page distinguishes earlier installations of Android 0.3.0-rc.6 (code24) from the advertising model introduced in 0.4.0-rc.2 (code29), also used in 0.4.1-rc.1 (code30). Package: se.localpilots.survivalpong. Your installed version determines the behaviour described below.
Publisher and contact
Southwind AB publishes Survival Pong under the Medvind Games name. Contact us about support, privacy or your rights at viktor.sunnersjo@gmail.com. Code24 is intended for ages 13 and over; code29 and code30 are intended for ages 16–17 and adults. This is an intended audience, not a claim that every player is an adult. No game account is required.
Earlier installations: code24
The existing optional age-range question remains in code24. An answer below 16 or a skipped answer keeps Google's privacy and ad services off for that choice. Eligible players who choose the informed 16+ Continue option start Google's privacy check. Continue is not advertising consent. The local age record is not sent to a game server; protective treatment signals can be sent to Google.
Code24 permits only non-personalized ads, with content level G, after a fresh successful Google privacy check and the necessary purpose and Google-vendor choices. It requires the qualifying European TCF signal; this is not an independent check of physical location. Google's privacy message may now be displayed internationally. Changing where the message is displayed does not remove code24's own request restrictions. If the necessary advertising choices are declined, this version remains without ads: it has no Limited Ads fallback and never enables personalized ads. Eligible known teenagers receive teen treatment. Age correction and available Google choices remain under Settings → Help & privacy.
Advertising model in code29 and code30
Code29 and code30 have no age question, age-confirmation call or additional publisher consent dialog. Google UMP is the privacy-choice dialog. Unless a preserved protection prevents Google services from starting, UMP contacts Google to obtain or update the available choices. That contact uses network and device/app information even before advertising is permitted. A missing answer, a failed form or being offline does not become consent.
With the required current choices, personalized advertising may be permitted. If the choices permit non-personalized advertising but not personalization, requests are restricted to non-personalized ads (NPA). An ordinary refusal of optional advertising consent can instead permit Limited Ads (LTD), with Google's Programmatic Limited Ads (PLA), when the required transparency and other conditions are present. This refusal does not mean data-free or ad-free play for a new user of this version. Google may further restrict a request or return no ad.
Limited Ads do not use personal data for ad personalization. They still involve IP/network information for delivery and may cache advertising software and creatives. With PLA enabled, Google uses local storage specifically for detecting invalid traffic, fraud and abuse, including on requests without optional advertising consent. Limited Ads are therefore not storage-free. Google's message identifies the applicable purposes and partners; separate objections and protective signals remain relevant.
Known teenagers retain teen treatment and are not made eligible for personalization by accepting UMP. A missing age remains unknown. Code29 and code30 use content level T, subject to stricter protections. Earlier under-16 restrictions, skipped-age ad-free choices and identifiable earlier refusals made under our ad-free promise remain protected. They are not converted into LTD eligibility by this policy update. New privacy refusals under this model do not create a new permanent ad-free entitlement.
Where and when ads appear
Ads may appear between completed competitive rounds when advertising conditions are met. No forced ads appear during active play or in Zen / Practice. No purchases or subscription are required for the modes and themes. Gameplay works offline; privacy checks and ads require a connection. An unavailable ad does not lock the game.
Information kept on your device
Scores, settings, ad-frequency counters and any preserved earlier age/protection record are stored privately on your device. Code29 and code30 also keep the minimum privacy restrictions and model-migration state needed to prevent an earlier choice or protection from being lost. UMP stores its own privacy-choice information. We do not upload your score, finger movements or these local profile records to a game server, and we do not add a separate player-analytics service.
These local values can remain until app data is removed. Android storage controls or uninstalling can remove local scores and choices; automatic Android cloud backup is disabled. Manufacturer transfer behaviour can vary. Deleting local data does not automatically delete records held independently by Google or other providers.
Google services, identifiers and recipients
The Android game uses Google Mobile Ads SDK (Legacy) 25.4.0 and UMP 4.0.0. Depending on the permitted mode and available signals, Google may process IP address and approximate location, device/app or other identifiers, ad/app interactions and diagnostics for delivery, personalization when permitted, measurement, security and fraud prevention. Code24 removes the Android advertising-ID permission. Code29 and code30 permit the SDK to use the resettable Android advertising ID where available and allowed; the app does not read or record that ID itself. Android privacy controls and Google's stricter restrictions still apply. Permission to access an identifier is not user consent.
Google and participating advertising partners have their own processing responsibilities. Not every listed partner receives every item of data. The current partner information and purpose controls appear in Google's message. Google's SDK disclosure describes encrypted transport. See Google's partner-app information and Google's Privacy Policy for provider practices, recipients, retention criteria, international transfers and controls. We do not set a single retention period for Google's independently held records or claim a verified lifetime for PLA's local fraud-prevention storage.
Choices, processing grounds and withdrawal
For the initial privacy/protection handling, we rely on our legitimate interest in obtaining and respecting choices and protecting the service. For optional advertising storage/access and personalization, we rely on the required consent. Non-personalized advertising still requires its applicable choices. Under this Limited Ads model, the remaining delivery, security and fraud-prevention processing relies on the applicable legitimate interests and Google's disclosed special-purpose treatment, subject to applicable law and rights of objection. A consent refusal is not converted into positive consent, and this description does not make every storage operation legally exempt from consent.
In code29 and code30, Settings → Privacy policy includes an offline English/Swedish explanation and this web page. Settings → Privacy choices opens Google's supported choices when available. If Google cannot currently provide a form, the game explains that status and offers a privacy-check retry; it does not display a substitute publisher consent form or upgrade missing choices to personalized ads. Restrictions are retained across restarts and region changes. A valid new choice updates the permitted request mode, and incompatible cached ads are discarded. Previously started SDK services are not uninstalled from the running process by withdrawal, and we do not promise that every provider network operation immediately stops. Previously lawful processing is not undone by withdrawal.
Website and email
This static website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages without our own analytics scripts, advertising scripts, forms, application cookies or third-party video embeds. Hosting processes connection information such as IP address, URL, time and browser details to deliver and secure the site. See Cloudflare's privacy policy. External links open those providers' services.
If you email us, we receive your address, message and attachments through Gmail to answer and investigate your request, not to add you to a mailing list. Avoid unnecessary sensitive information. We retain messages only as needed for the request, follow-up or legal obligations. Website operation/security and support rely on our legitimate interests in those activities.
Your rights
The game has no registration, chat, public leaderboard or payment form. It does not ask for your name, email, birthdate, identity document, precise location, contacts, camera or microphone. The SDK processing above still applies. Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, withdrawal or object to processing. Contact us at the address above; Google also provides its own data-request controls. You may complain to a supervisory authority, including IMY in Sweden.
