Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you play Cyber Mines, we or third-party service providers collect limited technical information, including:

• Device & Hardware Information: Device model, operating system version (Android), unique device identifiers (Android Advertising ID / IDFA), screen resolution, and language settings.
• Gameplay Data: Grid picks, game session duration, mines count selected (1–24), diamond cashouts, multipliers achieved, VIP tier ranking (Bronze, Silver, Gold), and heart regeneration times.
• Virtual Economy Logs: Local ledger of virtual coins, diamonds, Biocell Core energy states, and streak milestones. These virtual items hold no real-world monetary value.
• Diagnostic & Crash Logs: Anonymous stack traces, error reports, and performance benchmarks to fix bugs and improve frame rates.

2. Third-Party Advertising & Lucky Wheel

Cyber Mines incorporates rewarded video advertising (such as watching a short sponsored video to spin the Lucky Wheel for extra hearts and coins). We partner with certified ad networks, including:

• Google AdMob / Google Play Services: To deliver age-appropriate ads. You may opt out of personalized ads via your device settings (Android Settings > Google > Ads > Reset or Opt-out of Ads Personalization).
• Unity Ads: To serve video and rewarded placements when available.

These ad providers may use anonymous Advertising IDs to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance in compliance with Google Play Developer Policies.

3. Virtual Coins, VIP Memberships & Google Play Billing

Cyber Mines contains virtual tokens, hearts, and membership passes (such as VIP Pro Membership and Biocell Cores). Please note:

• Virtual coins, gems, and credits are solely virtual gameplay tokens and cannot be redeemed, transferred, or exchanged for real-world currency or cash prizes.
• Cyber Mines is purely an arcade skill and probability game designed for entertainment purposes. It is NOT real-money gambling.
• Any in-app purchases are securely processed through Google Play In-App Billing. Spark Fusion Service never collects, stores, or processes your credit card numbers or banking credentials.

4. Android App Permissions

Cyber Mines requests only essential permissions necessary for functionality:

• INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required to verify online status, load video ads, and sync event configurations.
• VIBRATE: Provides haptic feedback when uncovering diamonds, hitting mines, or spinning the wheel.
• WAKE_LOCK (Optional): Prevents screen dimming during active grid gameplay rounds.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Cyber Mines is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will promptly delete it.

4. Data Security

We employ robust organizational, technical, and physical security measures, including SSL/TLS HTTPS encryption, firewalls, and restricted administrative access to protect player data from unauthorized access or destruction.

1. Playtesting & Diagnostic Telemetry

During early test builds and upcoming closed alpha tests, we collect technical diagnostics solely to stabilize frame rates, eliminate multiplayer synchronization errors, and balance horror gameplay loops:

• Frame Rate & Device Specs: GPU model, RAM capacity, screen resolution, and OS version to optimize 3D lighting shaders across varied mobile devices.
• Crash Logs: Automated, anonymized stack traces and error logs when game sessions terminate unexpectedly.
• Gameplay Telemetry: Anonymized metrics such as survivor escape rates, generator completion durations, and match lengths to balance fair gameplay between survivors and the stalker.

2. Multiplayer Matchmaking & Networking

As a real-time multiplayer horror title, game sessions connect players through secure dedicated game servers and encrypted relay protocols:

• Session Matchmaking: Transient player session IDs and network latency (ping) are used exclusively to match players with nearby low-ping server regions.
• No Persistent IP Profiling: IP addresses are processed in volatile memory only for active packet routing and are never sold or combined with external tracking profiles.

3. Audio & Sensor Disclosures

While the game implements directional 3D binaural audio effects and flashlight gyroscopic controls for maximum tension:

• No Background Audio Recording: The application does not listen to or record background environmental audio without explicit permission. Optional in-game team voice chat (when implemented) will use encrypted, live voice transmission with strict opt-in controls and mute toggles.
• No Biometric or Camera Access: The game does not access the device camera or gather facial/biometric data.

4. Age Rating & Audience

Due to suspenseful survival horror elements, jump scares, and dark thematic settings, this title is intended for teen and mature players (PEGI 12+ / ESRB Teen equivalent upon final rating certification). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
