Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all mobile applications, games, software, and related services (collectively, the "Services") developed and published by The Cyber Minds ("we", "us", or "our"), including our official domain thecyberminds.com.
1. Information We Collect and Process
A. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
Our applications store your gameplay data and preferences entirely on your device's local storage. This includes:
- Game progress, high scores, statistics, and unlocked achievements.
- Daily streak records and timestamps.
- User settings (sound volume, mute preferences, haptic vibration, and selected themes).
This data does not leave your device and is not synchronized to any proprietary cloud server owned by us.
B. Information Collected Automatically by Third-Party Partners
To provide free-to-play experiences, analyze crash reports, and maintain app stability, our applications integrate industry-standard third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs). These third-party services may collect pseudo-anonymous diagnostic and advertising identifiers, such as:
- Device brand, model, operating system version, and screen resolution.
- Advertising identifiers (e.g., Google Advertising ID - GAID, Apple Identifier for Advertisers - IDFA).
- Coarse geographic location (country or state level based on IP address).
- App performance data, crash logs, and ANR (Application Not Responding) metrics.
2. Third-Party Service Providers
Our applications may utilize the following trusted third-party partners. Each partner processes data in accordance with their respective privacy policies:
- Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads: Used to display banner, interstitial, and rewarded video advertisements. Google Advertising Privacy Policy
- Google Play Services & Google Play Core: Used for app distribution, automated in-app updates, and platform security. Google Privacy Policy
- Apple App Store / iOS Services: Used for app distribution and system integrations on Apple devices. Apple Privacy Policy
3. Device Permissions & Why We Need Them
Depending on which of our apps you install, the app may request specific system permissions:
- Vibration (VIBRATE): Used solely to provide tactile haptic feedback during interactive events (e.g., swiping or merging tiles).
- Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS / SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM): Used solely to deliver local, device-scheduled reminders (such as keeping your daily streak active). We do not send promotional spam. You can revoke notification permissions at any time in your device settings.
- Network State & Internet Access: Required to fetch advertisements and deliver Google Play in-app updates.
4. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)
Our applications are designed for general audiences of all ages. We do not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will promptly delete such information.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
Because all gameplay data is stored strictly on your local device, you retain complete control over your data. You can delete all saved progress, settings, and streak records at any time by clearing the application's storage data in your device settings or by uninstalling the application.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect updates in our applications, technology, or legal requirements. When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of our apps following the posting of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
