Privacy Policy

Your progress is local. Here is how the app, its optional ads, and this website handle information.

Who we are

Maker Frontier L.L.C. publishes Sling Ponger and operates slingponger.com. For privacy questions or requests, email support@makerfrontier.com.

Your game stays on your device

Sling Ponger does not require an account. We do not operate a game server or include a separate gameplay analytics service. The app saves progress, earned tables and specials, match checkpoints, settings, consecutive losses, and recovery timers on your device. It also keeps local result and reward records to prevent duplicate processing and recover interrupted saves. The app does not upload these game saves to us.

Local records remain until the app data is removed. Deleting the app removes its local data from that device; device backups may retain copies according to your Apple backup settings. Offloading the app may retain its data. Removing the app does not remove purchase or advertising records held by Apple or Google.

Apple purchases

Apple processes purchases and payments. The app checks verified transaction and entitlement information to unlock purchased features, restore them, and recognize refunds or revocations. We do not receive your payment-card details through the app. See App Store & Privacy for Apple’s practices.

Optional ads and Google services

The app integrates Google AdMob for optional rewarded recovery ads and Google’s User Messaging Platform for advertising privacy choices. Recovery ads are requested as non-personalized ads: they can be selected using context such as the app and your approximate location, rather than a profile of your activity across other companies’ apps or websites. Sling Ponger does not enable cross-app tracking for advertising or ask for iOS tracking permission. Development and test builds may use Google test ads.

When advertising is configured, Google’s consent service may be contacted at app startup, including for players who own No Ads Forever. This check does not itself load or display an ad. Opening recovery may prepare an ad and present a required privacy message. An ad plays only when you choose to watch one, and the game grants recovery after the earned-reward event.

Non-personalized ads still involve data processing. Google’s services may process your IP address and approximate location inferred from it, device and app identifiers, ad views and interactions, crash reports, and other diagnostic or performance data. These can be used to deliver and measure ads, limit repeated ads, analyze service performance, prevent fraud, and provide consent functionality. Processing depends on configuration, permissions, region, and your choices. See Google’s Mobile Ads data disclosure, how Google uses information from apps, and Google’s privacy policy.

Your advertising choices

Open Settings in Sling Ponger. When Google makes privacy options available for your region, the Advertising privacy choices button lets you review or change those choices. This button is shown only when Google’s consent service reports that privacy options are required. You can also contact us at support@makerfrontier.com with a privacy question or request.

You can wait for recovery or play Free Play instead of choosing an ad. No Ads Forever removes recovery ads, but does not disable the consent-information check described above. Choosing not to watch an ad does not undo processing that has already occurred. Additional device privacy settings are available in iOS Settings.

This website

This website does not include advertising SDKs or a signup form. Its fonts and images are hosted with the site. Cloudflare hosts and protects it and may process technical request information such as IP addresses, browser information, and security events to deliver and secure pages. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy. Links to other sites follow those sites’ policies.

We use Google Analytics to understand visits to our public website and which links are useful. It may use analytics cookies and receive technical information about your browser, page visits and interactions. We keep advertising features and user-provided data collection off, and omit URL query strings, form contents and private account pages from our controlled events. For visitors identified as being in the United States, analytics may start unless you have declined or your browser sends Global Privacy Control. Elsewhere, or when we cannot determine your country, analytics starts only after you allow it. You can decline or change your choice at any time using Privacy choices in the footer. A saved decline and Global Privacy Control take priority. See Google’s privacy policy. Cloudflare also processes technical request data to deliver and secure the website.

When you contact us

If you email support, we receive your address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use this information to respond, investigate your issue, and maintain relevant support records. Please avoid sending passwords, payment-card details, or unnecessary personal information. Email providers process messages to deliver and store them.

Retention, access, and deletion

We retain support correspondence as needed to handle your request and related follow-up, resolve disputes, or meet applicable recordkeeping obligations. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of personal information, or withdraw consent. Contact support@makerfrontier.com to make a request; we may need to verify it. We cannot directly erase local game saves on your device or records independently controlled by Apple or Google. Their privacy pages explain their retention and request options.

Children and audience

Sling Ponger is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under 13. We do not ask players to create accounts or submit personal details to play. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information through support, contact us so we can review the request and take appropriate action.

Changes

We will update this page and its effective date when these practices change. This policy describes the app and website; it does not replace the privacy disclosures Apple displays in the App Store.
