This Privacy Policy explains how the Minesweeper mobile application (“the Application”)—developed and published by Ashar Basharat(“the Developer”)—handles user information.
The Application is a simple, casual puzzle game designed purely for entertainment and suitable for players of all ages. It can be enjoyed without registration, login, or any personal data collection. The game is provided as an ad-supported service and intended for use “as is.”
1. Information Collection and Use
- The Developer does not collect, store, or share any personal or sensitive information such as names, emails, contacts, photos, or messages.
- However, to ensure smooth operation, fix performance issues, and display advertisements, some non-personal technical data may be automatically collected by third-party services integrated into the Application.
2. Data Shared with Third Parties
The Application may share limited, non-personal data with trusted third-party providers for advertising, analytics, and crash reporting purposes, including Google AdMob, Google AdSense, and Firebase.
- Approximate Location: Used to display regionally relevant ads (based on IP address).
- Crash Logs: Shared to identify and fix app crashes or errors.
- Device or Other IDs: Used to measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and ensure functionality.
The Developer does not directly access or store this data. All handling is performed under the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers.
3. Data Collection by Third Parties
