Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how information is processed in connection with the official Vadym Shvets website, vshvets.pp.ua, and the Minesweeper Android application published by Vadym Shvets.
The Minesweeper application uses the package name com.vshvets.minesweeper.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to other websites or applications that have their own privacy policies.
Website
The website does not require user registration and does not provide user accounts.
The website may store a small amount of information in the browser, such as the selected theme, in order to remember user preferences.
The website is hosted using Cloudflare infrastructure. Cloudflare may process technical information required to deliver, protect, and operate the website, including network and request information.
If you contact Vadym Shvets by email, the information you provide in your message is used only to process and respond to your enquiry.
Minesweeper application
Minesweeper does not require users to create an account or provide personal information in order to play.
The application stores game-related information locally on the user's device to provide its functionality, remember preferences, restore game progress, and maintain gameplay statistics.
This locally stored information may include settings, game progress, game history, statistics, and other data generated while using the application.
Locally stored gameplay data is not transmitted to Vadym Shvets servers.
Advertising
Minesweeper may use Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK to display advertisements.
Google and its advertising services may process technical, device, usage, advertising, and approximate location information as necessary to deliver advertisements, measure their performance, prevent fraud, and provide related advertising services.
Depending on the user's location, consent choices, device settings, and applicable law, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
Where required, the application may request consent before using information for advertising purposes.
Information processed by Google is handled according to Google's own privacy policies and data-processing practices.
Analytics
Minesweeper may use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the application is used and to improve its functionality, performance, and user experience.
Analytics services may process general technical and usage information about the application and device, such as application activity, sessions, application version, device characteristics, operating system information, language, and approximate geographic information.
Minesweeper does not intentionally send directly identifying information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers to analytics services.
Information processed through Google Analytics for Firebase is subject to Google's privacy and data-processing policies.
Crash reporting and diagnostics
Minesweeper may use Sentry to detect crashes, errors, performance problems, and other technical issues.
When a technical problem occurs, diagnostic information about the application, device, operating system, error, and application state may be sent to Sentry in order to identify and resolve the issue.
Minesweeper does not intentionally include names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other directly identifying information in diagnostic reports.
Information processed by Sentry is handled according to Sentry's own privacy and data-processing policies.
Third-party services
Minesweeper may rely on third-party services for advertising, analytics, diagnostics, hosting, security, and other technical functionality.
These services may process information independently according to their own privacy policies, terms, and data-retention practices.
Third-party services currently or potentially used in connection with the website and application include Google services, Sentry, and Cloudflare.
Data sharing
Vadym Shvets does not sell users' personal information.
Information may be processed by third-party service providers only where necessary to provide application or website functionality, advertising, analytics, diagnostics, security, fraud prevention, or related technical services.
Data retention
Game-related information stored locally remains on the user's device until it is deleted through application functionality, cleared through Android settings, or removed when the application is uninstalled.
Information processed by third-party services is retained according to the policies and configuration of those providers.
Data deletion
Users can remove locally stored Minesweeper data using available reset or deletion functionality in the application, by clearing the application's storage through Android settings, or by uninstalling the application.
