Who we are
Survive Your Ideas Guide (https://survive-your-ideas.org) is an unofficial, fan-made guide to the Roblox game Survive Your Ideas. It is not run by the game’s developers or by Roblox Corporation. In this policy “we”, “us” and “the site” mean this guide. You can reach us at [email protected].
What we collect
We do not run user accounts, newsletters, comment sections or contact forms, so we do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers or Roblox usernames through the site. The only information that reaches us or our partners is:
- Technical request data that every website receives: your IP address, browser type, the page you asked for and the page that linked you. Our host, Cloudflare, processes it to deliver the page and block attacks.
- Aggregate analytics (see below), which never identify you.
- Advertising data collected by Google and its partners when ads are shown (see below).
- Emails you send us. If you write to us, we use your message only to reply and to fix the guide.
We do not sell personal information, and we never put personal information into page addresses or ad requests. The site never asks for your location and does not use GPS or precise location data; at most, advertising partners may estimate a rough region (such as your country) from your IP address.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It does not set cookies, does not use fingerprinting and does not build profiles. We see totals such as page views, referring sites, browser types and rough country, never individual visitors.
Your choice of light or dark mode is saved in your own browser (localStorage) and is never sent to us.
Advertising and cookies
To pay for hosting and the time spent testing the game, pages on this site may show ads served by Google AdSense. When they do:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies, web beacons and similar identifiers to serve ads based on your previous visits to this site and other websites, to limit how often you see an ad, and to measure ad performance and prevent fraud.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Google’s partners may also place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect information as a result of ads being shown on this site.
You can control this:
- Turn off personalized ads from Google in Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of personalized ads from many other vendors at aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Ads will still appear, but they will not be based on your interests.

Consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, ads are only personalized after you agree in the consent message shown by a Google-certified consent management platform. You can say no and still use the whole site, and you can change your choice at any time from the privacy link in that message. Until you agree, any ads shown are limited, non-personalized ads. The consent message is switched on together with ads; at the moment this site shows no ads, so no consent message appears yet.
Visitors in US states with privacy laws (such as California) can opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for advertising using the controls above or the opt-out message shown to them.
Children
Survive Your Ideas is played by many young people, so we take children’s privacy seriously:
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). The site has no forms, chat or accounts where a child could share it.
- We ask Google to treat ads on pages likely to be visited by children as child-directed, which turns off interest-based (personalized) advertising and remarketing for those ads, in line with the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
- We never ask readers to share Roblox passwords, and we never offer “free Robux”. If a site or ad claims to give free Robux, it is a scam.
If you are a parent and think your child has sent us personal information by email, write to [email protected] and we will delete it.
YouTube and other sites
Some pages show YouTube videos. Until you press play we only show a thumbnail image; the player loads from youtube-nocookie.com after you click, under Google’s privacy policy. Links to Roblox, Discord and YouTube take you to sites with their own privacy policies, which we do not control.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR or the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information about you, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not hold accounts or profiles, the only personal information we usually have is an email you sent us. Contact us to use any of these rights. For data that Google collects through ads, use the Google controls above. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Retention and security
Analytics are kept in aggregate only. Emails are kept as long as needed to answer them and then deleted. The site is static, served over HTTPS, and has no database of visitor data that could leak.
Changes and contact
If we change how the site handles data, for example by adding a new ad or analytics provider, we will update this page and the date at the top. Questions about this policy: [email protected]. See also our terms of use and how we check our information.
