Privacy policy
Operator and contact
Pong Wars is operated by Paulo Menezes. For privacy questions and data requests, contact paulo.hgmenezes@gmail.com. This policy describes version 1.0 of the app. Updated September 6, 2026.
Data on your device
Campaigns, offline scores, powers, language and your remembered nickname are stored on your device. These saves are not synchronized across devices. Guest credentials are kept in application storage so you can return to multiplayer.
Multiplayer data
When you create or join a room, the app creates a guest identity without asking for an email or password. The server receives this identity, your chosen nickname, room, equipped powers, presence, match progress and result. Your opponent sees your nickname and information needed for the match, not your credentials. This data is used to authenticate access, coordinate games and limit abuse.
Services and technical data
The backend is hosted on Convex and uses the Better Auth authentication library. Network connections and sessions may include IP addresses, client information and technical records needed for operation and security. The app does not include advertising SDKs or cross-app tracking features. Messages you send to support include your email address and the content you choose to send.
Retention
Rooms expire after 24 hours and associated records are cleaned up automatically. This does not automatically delete the guest identity. Identities are retained until account deletion; sessions also expire. After deletion, a random receipt without identity or match content may remain for seven days to confirm completion. Provider operational logs and backups may have different retention periods and are not instantly erased by in-app deletion. Contact us for clarification of these periods.
Deletion and your choices
In Settings, Delete online account starts removal of your identity, sessions and multiplayer data from the active database. This action is irreversible and ends your online participation. Offline progress and language stay on the device. A new account is created only when you create or join a room again. You can play offline modes without using multiplayer. To request access, correction or deletion of data, including support messages, contact us. We may verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
