Privacy Policy

Vibin' & Survivin'

Developer: Gouda Games
Last Updated: September 5, 2026

🛡️ Vibin' & Survivin' collects the minimum data needed for Steam Cloud saves and achievements, and nothing else. There's no analytics, no ads, and no tracking. If you're not signed into Steam, or you never use the optional bug-report form, no data leaves your device.

Information Collection

Vibin' & Survivin' does not collect personal information for its own purposes. The only personal data that ever exists outside your device is:

We don't collect device identifiers, location data or IP addresses, usage/behavioural analytics, or cookies/tracking pixels. The game itself requires no account creation, login, or registration of any kind — it uses whatever Steam account you're already signed into.


Data Storage

All game settings, preferences, and progress are stored locally on your device using your browser's localStorage mechanism. This data:

If you play through Steam, a subset of this data (your save progress, achievements, and stats) is additionally synced to Steam Cloud — see below. If you don't play through Steam, or you never submit a bug report, none of your data leaves your device and the game makes no network requests at all.


Steam Integration & Cloud Saves

When you play through Steam, your save data, achievements, and stats are synced to Steam Cloud so your progress follows you between devices. This sync is handled by Valve's Steamworks platform and is tied to your Steam account — Valve, not us, stores and transmits this data. See Valve's Privacy Policy for how they handle it. We don't operate any servers of our own and can't see this data independently of what Steam's own tools expose to any developer.

Achievement unlocks and play stats (e.g. survivors played, difficulty reached) are also sent to Steam to power your in-game achievements.

If you play a build without Steam (e.g. the Android or web version), none of this applies — your progress stays in local storage on your device only, exactly as described above.


Third-Party Services

Vibin' & Survivin' uses two third-party services, both opt-in:

We do not use analytics platforms, advertising networks, social media trackers, or any other third-party service.


Children's Privacy

Vibin' & Survivin' is intended for players aged 13 and up (teens and up). We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The Steam Cloud/achievement data described above is tied to your Steam account, which itself requires meeting Steam's own age requirements to create. The optional bug-report form should only be used by an adult, or with a parent/guardian's involvement, if the player is under 13.


Your Rights

Since the only personal data we handle directly (an optional name and/or email address on the bug-report form) is provided voluntarily by you, you can ask us to delete it at any time by emailing us at the address below. If you're in the UK or EEA, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority — in the UK, the ICO — if you think we've mishandled your data.


Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features that change what data is collected. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.

We encourage you to review this page periodically for any updates.
