Privacy Policy – LaneSurfer

Effective date: September 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how LaneSurfer (“the App”), provided by Funqly (“we”, “us” or “our”), collects, uses, stores and shares information when you use the App.

LaneSurfer is an advertising-supported mobile game. The App does not require you to create a personal account or provide an email address, telephone number or real name. However, certain technical information and game information are processed to provide advertisements, maintain high scores, operate the App and prevent abuse.

1. Information We Process

Anonymous user identifier

When you first use LaneSurfer, the App uses Supabase Anonymous Authentication to create an anonymous account. Supabase assigns a randomly generated unique user identifier (UUID) to your installation.

This identifier:

  • does not contain your name, email address or other directly identifying information;
  • is used to associate your scores with your installation;
  • allows the App to show personal scores and personal best results;
  • is stored on your device so it can be reused during later sessions; and
  • may change if you uninstall the App, clear its data or use a different device.

Because LaneSurfer does not provide a conventional sign-in system, the anonymous account generally cannot be recovered after the App is removed or its stored data is cleared. Scores associated with the previous identifier may remain in the online leaderboard but will no longer be recognised as your personal scores.

High scores and game information

When you complete a game, LaneSurfer may process and store information including:

  • your score and other game-result information;
  • the date and time of the score;
  • your anonymous Supabase user identifier;
  • an optional display name entered by you; and
  • technical information needed to submit, retrieve and moderate high scores.

High scores and display names may be displayed publicly in LaneSurfer’s leaderboards. Do not use your real name or include personal, offensive or sensitive information in your display name.

Display names may be automatically checked or moderated. We may remove or change inappropriate, offensive, misleading or abusive names.

If anonymous authentication is temporarily unavailable, a score may be saved without a user identifier. In that situation, the App may use information such as the score and approximate submission time to match or display the result.

Information stored locally

LaneSurfer uses local device storage, including AsyncStorage, to store information needed for the App to work. This may include:

  • your anonymous authentication session;
  • up to approximately 500 recent scores as an offline fallback;
  • game settings and preferences;
  • progress or gameplay-related information; and
  • privacy and advertising choices where applicable.

This locally stored information normally remains on your device until you clear the App’s data or uninstall the App.

Advertising information

LaneSurfer uses Google AdMob to display advertisements, including banner, interstitial and rewarded advertisements.

Depending on your device, location, consent choices and settings, Google and its advertising partners may process information such as:

  • your device’s advertising identifier, where permitted;
  • IP address;
  • device type, operating system and language;
  • general or approximate location derived from technical information;
  • advertising interactions, impressions and clicks;
  • diagnostic and performance information;
  • fraud-prevention and security information; and
  • consent and privacy choices.

This information may be used to provide, measure, limit and improve advertisements, prevent fraud and, where you have given the required permission, provide personalised advertising.

Google may use cookies, device storage, advertising identifiers and similar technologies according to your consent choices and applicable law.

2. Consent and Advertising Choices

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other locations where consent is required, LaneSurfer uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and manage advertising choices.

You may be offered a choice between personalised advertising and more limited or non-personalised advertising. Non-personalised or limited advertisements may still use certain information for purposes such as delivering advertisements, frequency capping, aggregated reporting, security and fraud prevention.

You can review or change your available choices through the Privacy choices option in the App when that option is required and available.

LaneSurfer is supported by advertising. If the applicable privacy settings do not permit the App to request any advertisements, access to gameplay may be unavailable. You are not required to agree to personalised advertising or cross-app tracking when limited or non-personalised advertisements can lawfully be provided.

Apple App Tracking Transparency

On iOS, LaneSurfer may request permission through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework before using data to track you across apps or websites owned by other companies or before accessing the device’s advertising identifier for that purpose.

If you refuse this permission, LaneSurfer may still display limited or non-personalised advertisements when permitted by your other privacy choices. Refusing Apple’s tracking permission by itself does not prevent you from playing when advertising services remain legally available.

You can manage Apple tracking permission in the privacy settings of your iOS device.

3. How We Use Information

We process information for the following purposes:

  • to operate and maintain LaneSurfer;
  • to create and maintain an anonymous session;
  • to save, retrieve and display scores and leaderboards;
  • to identify your personal scores on the same installation;
  • to display and measure advertisements;
  • to provide rewarded-ad functionality;
  • to remember settings and privacy choices;
  • to moderate display names and prevent misuse;
  • to diagnose technical problems and improve reliability;
  • to protect the App, its users and its services against fraud or abuse; and
  • to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar legislation applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Consent: for personalised advertising, advertising storage, tracking or similar processing when consent is legally required.
  • Performance of a service: when processing is necessary to provide requested App functionality, such as saving and displaying scores.
  • Legitimate interests: for operating, securing and improving the App, preventing fraud and maintaining fair leaderboards, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Legal obligations: when processing is required to comply with applicable law.

You may withdraw consent through the available privacy controls. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before consent was withdrawn.

5. Service Providers and Data Sharing

We do not sell your directly identifying personal information.

We use the following service providers:

Google AdMob

Google AdMob provides advertising, advertising measurement and related services. Google and participating advertising partners may process information according to your location and privacy choices.

More information:

Supabase

Supabase provides anonymous authentication, database and backend services used for high scores and related App functionality. Information processed through Supabase may include the anonymous UUID, score information, timestamps and optional display names.

More information:

We may also disclose information if reasonably necessary to comply with the law, enforce our rights, investigate fraud or security incidents, or protect users and the public.

6. International Data Transfers

Google, Supabase and their service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence, including countries outside the European Economic Area.

Where required, these transfers are protected through recognised legal safeguards, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms used by the relevant service provider.

7. Data Retention

Local information remains on your device until it is removed by the App, overwritten, cleared through your device settings or deleted when you uninstall the App.

Online high-score records may be retained while the leaderboard or LaneSurfer service remains operational, unless the information is deleted earlier following a valid request or because it is no longer needed.

Because leaderboard records may be associated only with an anonymous identifier, we may need that identifier and sufficient score information to locate a record. Without this information, we may be unable to determine which anonymous record belongs to you.

Google and Supabase retain information according to their own policies and legal obligations.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures may include encrypted network connections, access controls and database security rules.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

  • the right to request access to personal information concerning you;
  • the right to request correction of inaccurate information;
  • the right to request deletion of information;
  • the right to restrict or object to certain processing;
  • the right to data portability where applicable;
  • the right to withdraw consent; and
  • the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority.

In the Netherlands, you may lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

To request deletion of an online high score, include as much of the following information as possible:

  • your anonymous user identifier, if it is visible or available in the App;
  • the display name used;
  • the approximate score;
  • the approximate date and time; and
  • your device platform.

We may request additional information where reasonably necessary to identify the relevant anonymous records and prevent fraudulent deletion requests.

10. Children’s Privacy

LaneSurfer is intended for a general audience. It is not specifically designed for or directed to children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly request a child’s real name, email address, telephone number or other directly identifying information. Users should not enter personal information in a leaderboard display name.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information through LaneSurfer, please contact us. If we can identify the relevant information, we will take appropriate steps to review and, where required, delete it.

11. Third-Party Links

LaneSurfer or its privacy screens may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of those third parties. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before using their services.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to LaneSurfer, our service providers, legal requirements or privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will publish the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the App where appropriate.
