Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how kyulab (“we”, “us”, or “our”) — the developer of the Minesweeper mobile application (the “App”) — handles information in connection with the App.

The App is a classic single-player minesweeper game. It runs entirely on your device and does not require an account, sign-in, or any personal details from you to play.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the App.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information stored locally on your device

The App stores the following data only on your device using the device’s local storage (standard iOS preferences storage). This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to us:

• Game records — wins/losses, best times, and statistics per difficulty.
• App settings — your preferences such as haptics, sound effects, background music, and flag-mode style.
• Purchase state — a local cache reflecting whether “Minesweeper Pro” is active on your device.

Because this information lives only on your device, it is removed automatically when you delete the App. We do not have access to it, and we cannot recover it for you.

2.2 Information we do not collect

We do not collect, receive, or store any of the following:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or any contact details;
• Account credentials — the App has no login or account system;
• Precise location data;
• Photos, camera, microphone, or contacts;
• Health, financial, or other sensitive personal data;
• Your game data on any server — there is no server-side sync or cloud backup.

3. Third-party services

The App uses third-party services to support advertising and in-app purchases. These services may collect limited information as independent data controllers or processors under their own terms. We list them transparently below so you can review and manage each one.

We do not combine data between these services, and we do not build profiles about you. These providers may use the information described above for their own purposes, such as fraud prevention, analytics, and improving their products, in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

4. How information is used

The App and its partners use the limited data described above only to:

• Operate the App and remember your game records and settings;
• Serve and measure advertising that supports the free version of the App;
• Process, validate, and restore in-app purchases and subscriptions;
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse.

We never sell your personal information, and we do not use it to make decisions that produce significant legal or similarly significant effects on you.

5. Tracking & advertising

On iOS, the App complies with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. The first time tracking-relevant functionality is needed, the App will ask for your permission. If you select “Ask App Not to Track”, your advertising identifier (IDFA) will not be used for cross-app tracking.

You can change this choice at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking on your device, or reset the advertising identifier in Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising.

6. Data retention & deletion

All locally stored information (game records and settings) is kept on your device for as long as the App is installed and is permanently deleted when you uninstall the App.

Any data retained by our third-party partners is handled according to their respective retention policies. You can request deletion of data held by these services directly — see “Your rights” below.

7. Children’s privacy

The App is a general-audience game and is not directed specifically at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to one of our third-party services, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to assist with its deletion.

8. Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live — for example under the EU/UK GDPR, the California CCPA/CPRA, or similar laws — you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

• Access — request a copy of personal data held about you;
• Deletion — request that personal data be erased;
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information;
• Withdraw consent for tracking or personalized advertising at any time;
• Restrict or object to certain processing of your data.

How to exercise these rights

• Local data: Uninstall the App to immediately delete your locally stored game records and settings.
• Tracking & ads: Use iOS Settings as described in Section 5.
• AdMob: Manage your ad settings at adssettings.google.com, or reset your advertising identifier in iOS Settings.
• RevenueCat: Contact us using the details in Section 11 to request deletion of subscription-related data.
• Apple: Manage your Apple ID and purchase history at appleid.apple.com.

To submit a request, or to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined by applicable law, email us at kyulabs@kyulabs.app. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

9. Data security

The App does not transmit your personal data to us, which limits the risk to your information. Where third-party services process data, they use industry-standard safeguards. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International data transfers

The App is available worldwide. The third-party services described above may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. These transfers are governed by the privacy practices and legal mechanisms adopted by each provider.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will notify you within the App or on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
