Privacy Policy

Effective September 27, 2026

Minesweeper Duo doesn't collect personal data. We don't see your scores, your boards or anything about you. The only thing the app sends us is anonymous counts of how it's used, described below.

What stays on your device

Your settings, the game in progress and the board's zoom and scroll position are saved on your device so you can pick up where you left off. They're never sent to us.

What Apple handles

Some features run on Apple services. Apple handles that data under the Apple Privacy Policy. Apple doesn't share it with us, apart from the optional crash reports below.

• iCloud. Your high scores sync between your devices through your private iCloud database. Only you can read it.
• Game Center. If you're signed in, your best times are posted to Game Center leaderboards under your Game Center name.
• Tips. Tips are paid through the App Store. We never see your payment details.
• Crash reports. If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your device's settings, Apple may send us anonymous crash and performance reports. You can turn this off at any time in Settings.

Anonymous usage counts

To see which parts of the app get used, the app records a small event when you start or finish a game, open a screen such as Settings or High Scores, change the theme, or tap a "Support the game" link. Each event carries only the kind of event, the difficulty, the theme, the device type (iPhone, iPad, Mac or iPhone Duo), the app version and the local hour.

• There is no name, email, device identifier, location or advertising identifier.
• The events are stored in the app's own iCloud database, hosted by Apple, and only we can read them. No third-party analytics service is involved.
• We use them only to decide what to improve. Never for advertising, and never sold or shared.
• They're only sent from devices signed in to iCloud. Apple tags each event with an anonymous identifier that exists only for this app, so we can count how many people did something. It isn't your Apple Account or email, and we can't connect it to you.

No ads, no tracking

The app has no ads, no accounts and no third-party analytics, and it doesn't track you across other apps or websites.

Links to other websites

Settings links to a few outside pages, such as a guide to playing Minesweeper and the credits for the app's fonts and icons. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

Children

Minesweeper Duo is suitable for all ages. Because it doesn't collect personal information, it collects none from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll post the new version here with a new effective date.
