Privacy Policy for MineLogic

Last Updated: December 2025

Introduction

MineLogic ("we," "our," or "the app") is a modern Minesweeper puzzle game developed as a mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information.

Information We Collect

MineLogic does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information beyond what is necessary for cloud save functionality.

The app can operate entirely offline, with all data stored locally on your device. However, if you choose to enable cloud saves (optional feature), the app will use Google Play Games Services (Android) or Game Center (iOS) to sync your saved game state to the cloud.

We do not:

• Collect personal information (name, email, address, phone number, etc.) - except your Google Play or Game Center account identifier (handled by Google/Apple, not us)
• Access your contacts, photos, or other device files
• Track your location
• Use analytics or tracking services
• Use advertising networks
• Share data with third parties (except cloud save data to Google Play Games Services or Game Center, which you explicitly opt into)
• Require internet connectivity for core functionality (cloud saves are optional)
• Collect device identifiers or unique identifiers (except those provided by Google Play Games Services or Game Center for cloud saves)

Data Storage

The app stores data in two ways:

Local Data Storage

The app stores the following data locally on your device using Flutter's shared_preferences package. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to external servers or shared with third parties (unless you enable cloud saves).

Game Statistics

The app stores game statistics for tracking your progress and performance. This includes:

Total Statistics:

• Number of games played
• Number of games won
• Number of games lost
• Best completion time (in seconds)
• Win rate (percentage)

Per-Difficulty Statistics (for Easy, Medium, and Hard levels):

• Number of games played
• Number of games won
• Number of games lost
• Best completion time (in seconds)
• Win rate (percentage)

Settings and Preferences

Theme Preference: The app allows you to toggle between light and dark themes. However, this preference is not persisted - it resets to your device's system theme preference each time you restart the app.

Note: The theme preference is not stored permanently and does not persist across app restarts.

Cloud Save Storage (Optional)

If you choose to sign in to Google Play Games Services (Android) or Game Center (iOS), the app can optionally save your current game state to the cloud. This allows you to:

• Resume your game on different devices
• Restore your game if you reinstall the app
• Sync your saved game across devices

Cloud save data includes:

• Current game board state
• Game difficulty and mode
• Elapsed time
• Remaining flags, hints, and lives
• Game configuration

Cloud save data is:

• Stored securely by Google Play Games Services (Android) or Game Center (iOS)
• Encrypted in transit and at rest
• Only accessible to you when signed in to your Google Play or Game Center account
• Automatically deleted when you delete the saved game in the app or sign out
• Not shared with third parties (except Google/Apple as part of their cloud services)

You can disable cloud saves at any time by:

• Signing out from Google Play Games Services or Game Center in the app settings
• Deleting the saved game from within the app

Data Storage Location

Local Data: All local data is stored on your device using Android's SharedPreferences system (on Android) or UserDefaults (on iOS). This data:

• Remains on your device only (unless you enable cloud saves)
• Is not transmitted to external servers (unless you enable cloud saves)
• Is not accessible by other apps
• Can be cleared by uninstalling the app or using the app's "Reset Statistics" feature

Cloud Data: If you enable cloud saves, your saved game state is stored by:

• Android: Google Play Games Services (Google's servers)
• iOS: Game Center (Apple's servers)

This cloud data is managed by Google/Apple and subject to their privacy policies. We do not have access to this data except through the standard cloud save APIs provided by these services.

How We Use Stored Data

The locally stored data is used solely for:

• Displaying your game statistics and progress
• Calculating win rates and best times
• Providing game history information

This data is never used for:

• Analytics or tracking
• Advertising
• User profiling
• Sharing with third parties

Data Deletion

You can delete your stored data at any time through the following methods:

Local Data:

1. Using the App: Go to Settings → Data → Reset Statistics. This will permanently delete all game statistics stored locally.
2. Uninstalling the App: Uninstalling the app will remove all locally stored data from your device.

Cloud Data (if enabled):

1. Delete Saved Game: Use the "Delete Saved Game" option in the app (if available) to remove your saved game from cloud storage.
2. Sign Out: Signing out from Google Play Games Services or Game Center in the app settings will prevent further cloud saves, but existing cloud data may remain on Google/Apple servers until you delete it through their services.
3. Google Play Games Services (Android): You can manage and delete your cloud save data through the Google Play Games app or Google account settings.
4. Game Center (iOS): You can manage and delete your cloud save data through iOS Settings → Game Center or iCloud settings.

Permissions

MineLogic requests minimal permissions:

• Internet Permission: The app requires internet connectivity only if you choose to enable cloud saves. The internet permission is used to:
  • Connect to Google Play Games Services (Android) for cloud saves
  • Connect to Game Center (iOS) for cloud saves
  • Open the privacy policy link in your browser
  If you do not enable cloud saves, the app functions entirely offline and the internet permission is not actively used.
• Text Processing Query: The app includes a query for text processing functionality (required by Flutter framework for certain features). This does not collect or transmit any data.
• Google Play Games Services / Game Center: When you sign in to enable cloud saves, you grant permission to:
  • Access your Google Play account (Android) or Apple ID (iOS) for authentication
  • Store and retrieve saved game data from cloud storage
  • This is handled entirely by Google Play Games Services or Game Center, not by our app directly

External Links

The app includes a link to this privacy policy in the Settings page. When you tap this link, it opens in your device's default web browser. This is handled by the url_launcher package, which:

• Only opens URLs externally in your browser
• Does not collect any data about links clicked
• Does not track your browsing activity
