Overview
This policy describes how the Minescape Android app handles information. It also explains the limited data handling that may occur when you visit this website, which is hosted separately through GitHub Pages.
Information the app handles
Minescape stores the information needed to provide its features locally on your device. This may include:
- Current and completed games, including board state and elapsed time
- Game statistics, streaks, best times, and recent results
- Daily challenge progress and history
- Preferences such as theme, haptics, game mode, and control settings
- Practice history needed for undo
This information is stored in the app's private storage and is not transmitted to the developer or a remote server.
Information we do not collect
The app does not collect personal information, precise location, contacts, advertising identifiers, diagnostics, or usage analytics. It has no advertising SDKs, no account system, and does not request internet access.
Sharing results
If you choose to share a daily challenge result, Minescape creates a result image and accompanying text on your device, then opens Android's standard share interface. You choose the receiving app and destination. The result does not include your board layout or moves. Minescape grants the receiving app temporary read access only to the generated image.
Any service you choose to share with handles that content under its own privacy policy.
Backups and imported files
Minescape can export your progress to a file and import it later. These actions use Android's document picker. You choose the file and storage location. Exported backups may include saved games, preferences, statistics, daily history, and undo history.
You are responsible for keeping exported files secure. Minescape does not upload or receive those files.
Data retention and deletion
Your in-app data remains on your device until it is replaced, you clear the app's storage, or you uninstall the app. Because the developer does not receive this data, the developer cannot view, recover, or delete it for you. Export a backup before clearing data or uninstalling if you want to retain your progress.
Children's privacy
Minescape does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. The app's data handling is the same for every player.
This website
This website does not use developer-added cookies, analytics, advertising, forms, or accounts. It is hosted by GitHub Pages. GitHub may process technical information such as IP addresses and browser details to operate, secure, and improve its services. That processing is governed by the GitHub General Privacy Statement.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated if Minescape's features or data practices change. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
