Minesweeper · Effective date: June 19, 2026 · Published by GME Digital UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Minesweeper ("the app", "we", "us", or "our") is a free puzzle game developed by GME Digital UG (haftungsbeschränkt). This Privacy Policy explains what information the app does and does not handle, and what rights you have. We have deliberately designed Minesweeper to work without collecting personal data.
This policy applies to the Minesweeper mobile app distributed via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and to its web pages at https://gme-digital-ug.github.io/minesweeper/. By using Minesweeper you agree to the practices described here.
The company responsible for the Minesweeper app is:
These details match our Impressum (legal notice) as required by the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and the Digital Services Act (DDG). Because Minesweeper does not process personal data, we are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) under Article 37 GDPR.
Minesweeper is built to be played without an account and without an internet connection. To make this unambiguous, the app does not collect, request, transmit, or store any of the following:
We do not build user profiles, and we do not sell, rent, or share data with third parties — because we do not have any of your data to begin with.
The app saves a small amount of information locally on your device so it can remember how you like to play. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us:
This information is stored using your device's standard local app-storage mechanisms. You can erase all of it at any time by clearing the app's data or by uninstalling the app. Removing the app permanently deletes this locally stored information.
Minesweeper requests no sensitive permissions. It does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts, or photo library.
On supported devices, the app may trigger short haptic feedback (vibration) when you place a flag, win, or lose. This happens entirely on your device, involves no data collection, and can be disabled through your device's system settings where supported.
Minesweeper is free to use. If you choose to support development through a voluntary tip, the payment is handled entirely by an external payment provider — we never see or store your payment card details or billing information. Depending on your platform:
Any data you provide during a donation is processed by the relevant provider (Apple, Google, or Ko-fi) under its own privacy policy. Donations are optional and unlock no additional features — every part of the game is available to everyone for free.
Minesweeper currently contains no advertising and no advertising SDKs.
We may consider introducing advertising in the future, but it is not planned at this time. If we ever add advertising, we will update this Privacy Policy before it takes effect, clearly describe what (if any) data the advertising involves, and obtain consent where required by applicable law.
Minesweeper does not integrate analytics, crash-reporting, social-media, or advertising SDKs. The only third parties involved are the platforms through which the app is distributed and, optionally, a donation provider:
When you download Minesweeper from the Apple App Store, Apple collects data as part of the
download and any payment process in accordance with Apple's own privacy policy. We do not
receive your Apple ID or payment details.

When you download Minesweeper from Google Play, Google collects data as part of the download
and any payment process in accordance with Google's privacy policy.

On Android you may optionally support the app through
Ko-fi, which
processes your payment under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive your payment
details. See Section 5.
Ko-fi Privacy Policy →
We do not use any analytics, telemetry, or cross-app tracking. Minesweeper does not measure how you play, does not phone home, and works fully offline. There are no cookies in the app, and the website pages set no tracking cookies.
Because the app collects no personal data and stores everything locally on your device, there are no international data transfers carried out by us. Any data handled by the app stores or a donation provider is transferred under those companies' own safeguards and privacy policies.
Data-protection laws such as the GDPR (EU/EEA) and the CCPA (California) grant rights including access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, and objection, as well as the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them.
Since we do not hold any personal data about you, there is generally nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete. You remain in full control of the settings and game data stored on your device, which you can clear at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it.
We do not sell or share personal information. If you have any question about your rights, you can contact us at main@gmedigital.de. If you are in the EU/EEA, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Minesweeper is a general-audience game suitable for all ages. Because it collects no personal data and requires no account, it does not knowingly gather information from children or anyone else. If you have questions about children using the app, please contact us at main@gmedigital.de.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, applicable laws, or industry standards — for example, if we ever introduce advertising. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you within the app. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please contact us:
We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within 5 business days.
