MESSAGE FROM THE CREATOR

I TAKE YOUR PRIVACY VERY SERIOUSLY. I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR PHONE (OR TABLET).

GAME DOES NOT COLLECT ANALYTICS DATA FROM YOU (LIKE IF YOU LAUNCH THE GAME, OR WIN OR LOSE OR ANY OTHER “ANALYTICS” DATA) — ONLY IN CASE OF ERRORS THE GAME MIGHT SEND AN EXCEPTION LOG (BUT I DON’T KNOW WHO SENT IT, AS THE REPORT CONTAINS NO PERSONAL STUFF IN IT)

YOUR PHONE (OR WHATEVER YOU USE TO PLAY THE GAME) BELONGS TO YOU, NOT TO ME.

GDPR

Survive game privacy policy has remained the same for several year: your phone belongs to you, not to us.

Analytics data we collect is for collecting errors (and fixing them) and that’s pretty much it. We don’t know who sent them.

WHAT KIND OF DATA SURVIVE GAME COLLECTS: ONLY EXCEPTIONS (ANONYMIZED ERRORS INFORMATION)

We’ve disabled Analytics so we are not collecting data, but in case of “crashing” or bad code, the game may submit information about exceptions. (anonymous information, we cannot know who sent the report)

Example of data being sent (there’s more to that tech stuff, but this should give you a pretty good idea). According to Unity, this error report is GDP compliant and does not contains personally identified information.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

PURPOSE OF COLLECTING EXCEPTIONS DATA

Fixing bugs — we want to make sure the game runs smoothly on your device.

UNITY ANALYTICS DATA COLLECTION

Survive game is made using Unity game engine. Unity is 3rd party company that POSSIBLY collects data for their purposes.

GOOGLE DATA COLLECTION

Because Survive game is downloadble only via Google Play store and using their system, Google might be collecting data about your usage. YOU CAN PLAY THE GAME OFFLINE, BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT GOOGLE MIGHT USE YOUR DATA FOR THEIR PURPOSES.

SURVIVE GAME APP and SURVIVE GAME TEAM DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO RAW DATA GOOGLE COLLECTS. GOOGLE PROVIDES OVERVIEW SUMMARY (SUCH AS "80% OF PLAYERS ARE MALE, 20% ARE FEMALE") WHICH DOES NOT SPECIFY YOUR INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION TO SURVIVE TEAM.

We don’t know who plays the game, but Google probably does.
