Privacy Policy — Minesweeper Nova

This Privacy Policy explains how Minesweeper Nova ("we", "our", or "the App") handles information when you use the mobile game. We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about data use.

1. Information We Collect

By default, Minesweeper Nova does not collect or transmit information that personally identifies you. The game does not require account creation or login. We store the following data locally on your device to enable gameplay features:

• Game settings (sound on/off, theme: dark).
• Selected difficulty and board sizes: Beginner (9×9), Casual (16×9), Intermediate (16×16), Expert (30×16).
• Local records (best time, win/loss counts, last played level).
• Optional cached assets for faster loading.

2. Optional Analytics & Crash Reporting

We may integrate third‑party analytics or crash‑reporting SDKs to understand app performance and usage patterns. These services typically collect aggregated or non‑identifying device information (e.g., device model, OS version, app version, anonymous usage metrics). No personal identifiers (such as name, email, or contacts) are collected by default.

If enabled, analytics data is used to improve gameplay, fix crashes, and prioritize feature improvements. You may opt out of analytics if the app provides such a setting.

3. Advertising

Minesweeper Nova may display ads provided by third‑party ad networks (for example, Google AdMob). Ad networks may use standard advertising identifiers and non‑personal signals to deliver relevant ads. We do not control the data practices of ad partners — please consult their privacy policies for details.

4. Data Storage & Security

All primary game data is stored locally on your device. We do not transmit or store your personal game data on our servers unless explicitly stated (for example, if you opt into a cloud‑save feature). We follow common security practices, but no method of storage is 100% secure — please keep your device protected.

5. Children

The game is family‑friendly and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have unintentionally collected personal information from a child, contact us and we will take steps to remove that information.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your region, you may have rights regarding your data (access, correction, deletion, or objection). If you request to access or remove any data we control, we will respond to reasonable requests in line with applicable law.

7. Permissions

The App may request minimal device permissions strictly necessary for functionality (e.g., vibration control for haptics). The game does not request access to contacts, photos, or precise location.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
