# Privacy Policy for MiniMind Arcade
**Effective Date:** May 23, 2026
**Last Updated:** May 23, 2026
Welcome to **MiniMind Arcade** ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure, family-friendly casual gaming experience.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data when you use the MiniMind Arcade mobile application, containerized web shell, or offline arcade modules. By downloading and playing MiniMind Arcade, you fully agree to the practices outlined in this policy.
---
### 1. Offline-First Architecture & No Personal Data Harvesting
MiniMind Arcade is built using a private, "offline-first" architecture.
* **No Account Creation:** Users can play all games without registering an account.
* **No Personal Data Collected:** We do not harvest, collect, compile, or transmit any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your real name, email address, physical location, phone number, contacts list, or deep hardware identity tags.
* **Device Storage Sandbox:** Game configurations, progression logs, high scores, and casual offline states are stored locally on your device in highly protected storage namespaces (IndexedDB, WebStorage, and local state cache).
---
### 2. Optional Global Leaderboard & Supabase Sync
We offer an optional online leaderboard module to let users showcase high scores.
* **Consent-Based Pseudonym:** If you choose to submit high-scores to the world leaderboard, you will be assigned or can enter a generic nickname/pseudonym (e.g., "Player-6333"). No real-world identifiers or email addresses are linked, shared, or compiled during this optional sync.
* **Secure Database Infrastructure:** Any scoring statistics synchronized leverage standardized, heavily encrypted SSL handshaking protocols directly with our secure Supabase database instances.
---
### 3. Google AdMob & Monetization Disclosure
MiniMind Arcade serves high-quality, non-intrusive advertisements (Banner, Native, and Interstitial ads) using Google AdMob SDK tools. To comply with AdMob policy guidelines and Play Store developer agreements:
* **No Overlapping Placement:** Advertisements are strictly placed outside gameplay interaction grids to prevent accidental clicks.
* **No Restricted Categories:** We actively filter out sensitive, age-restricted, or inappropriate ad categories.
* **Device/Ad-Identifier Privacy:** Google AdMob may automatically collect non-sensitive hardware analytics or unique advertising identifiers (e.g., AD-ID) to deliver personalized ads. Users can reset their ad identifier anytime through their Android device Settings.
---
### 4. Children's Privacy & Families Policy Compliance
We strictly adhere to Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (**COPPA**) and World Families Safety rules:
* **Rating:** MiniMind Arcade receives a PEGI-3 / ESRB Everyone kid-safety rating.
* **Age-appropriate Filters:** We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
* **Strict Ad SDK Settings:** Content rating tags are hardcoded within our Ad SDK request levels to restrict tracking beacons, enforcing maximum family safety compliance and child protection policies.
---
### 5. Standard Android Manifest Permissions Used
Our application shell requests standard permissions purely to function correctly:
* **INTERNET:** Required for fetching remote game configurations and sending optional leaderboard scores.
* **ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE:** Required to detect offline mode and gracefully switch to absolute offline-first fallback.
* **VIBRATE:** Used strictly to trigger haptic feedback micro-pulses for enhanced gameplay experience.

### 6. Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to modify, adjust, or upgrade this Privacy Policy dynamically via remote server configurations. Any updates will become effective instantly when posted on this official web route. We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about our continuous compliance.
