Minesweeper Privacy Policy
Effective Date: Aug 31, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how we ("we," "our") handle data when you use Minesweeper ("the App"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to being transparent about our data practices.
Data We Collect
To provide you with our services, including displaying advertisements, we collect the following:
- Advertising ID: We use your device's advertising ID (e.g., Google Advertising ID) to enable personalized advertisements within the App. This identifier allows advertising networks to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads through your device settings.
- Basic Device Information: We may collect non-personal, aggregated data about your device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers (like the advertising ID) to ensure the App functions correctly and for analytics purposes to improve the App's performance and stability. This information does not directly identify you.
How We Use Your Data
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- To Display Advertisements: Your advertising ID is shared with our third-party advertising partners (see "Third-Party Services" below) to deliver in-app advertisements. This helps us to keep the App free to play.
- To Improve and Maintain the App: We use basic device information to understand how users interact with the App, identify and fix bugs, and enhance user experience.
Internet Connectivity
The App requires internet connectivity to display advertisements. However, you can still play the game offline without an internet connection, though advertisements will not be displayed.
Third-Party Services
We integrate third-party services into the App, primarily for advertising purposes. These services may collect and process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We currently use:
- Google AdMob: For serving advertisements. You can find Google's Privacy Policy here.
- Google Play Games Services: This service is integrated to provide game-related features such as achievements, leaderboards, and saved game progress. By using this service, certain data may be collected and shared with Google and other players (based on your privacy settings) to enable these features. This may include your Gamer ID, profile picture, achievements, high scores, and activity data. Any data collected is handled in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not control the data practices of these third parties and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the data we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Our App is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.
Your Choices
- Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: You can reset your device's advertising ID or opt out of personalized advertisements by adjusting the settings on your mobile device.
- Offline Play: You can choose to play the game offline to avoid seeing advertisements.
Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
