Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 2, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy clarifies the methods by which Aplox ("we," "us," or "our") manages, processes, and safeguards user information through our software, specifically the mobile game Silent Minefield, and any associated digital platforms (collectively, the "Services"). By engaging with our Services, you acknowledge and consent to the data handling routines described in this document.
2. Target Audience and Age Limits
Our Services are developed for a broad, general audience. Aplox does not intentionally gather personal identifiers from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in specific jurisdictions). Should we discover that data from a minor was collected without verified parental authorization, we will initiate immediate protocols to eliminate such records from our database.
3. Categories of Data Gathered
To refine the gaming experience and ensure functionality, we process the following:
- a. Information Provided by the User: Direct communications sent to [email protected] for technical assistance or user feedback. Data submitted through optional participation in community surveys or digital forms.
- b. Technical and Hardware Metadata: Details regarding device models, operating system versions, IP addresses, preferred language settings, and unique mobile identifiers such as GAID or IDFA.
- c. Interaction Records: Internal metrics including mission progress, user scores, duration of play sessions, and technical crash logs for debugging purposes.
- d. Geographic Indicators: General regional data (at the city or country level) extrapolated from IP addresses to provide localized features or advertisements.
4. Legal Grounds for Processing (GDPR)
For users in relevant regions, we process information based on:
- Your explicit consent (e.g., opting into newsletters or feedback).
- Our legitimate business interests, including service optimization and security maintenance, as permitted by law.
5. Third-Party Integration and External Partners
We incorporate external SDKs to facilitate gameplay and monetization. These partners handle data according to their independent privacy standards:
- System Services: Google Play Services for managing global leaderboards and cloud synchronization.
- Performance Analysis: Tools like Firebase or Unity Analytics to evaluate player trends and software stability.
- Monetization: Platforms such as Google AdMob and Unity Ads which may display tailored or generic advertisements. These entities utilize Advertising IDs to monitor ad frequency and relevance. You may opt-out of such tracking via your mobile device's privacy settings.
6. Objectives of Data Usage
Your data is utilized to:
- Operate and upgrade the mechanics and features of Silent Minefield.
- Deliver customer support and address technical inquiries.
- Detect and prevent fraudulent activities or unfair play.
- Adhere to international legal mandates and safety protocols.
7. Data Expiry and Removal
We retain information only for the duration necessary to satisfy the objectives mentioned in this policy.
- Erasure Requests: You may demand the deletion of your personal records at any time by emailing [email protected].
- Timeline: We aim to finalize such requests within a 30-day window, except where data must be kept for legal compliance.
8. Security and Global Operations
- Cross-Border Transfers: Your data may be moved to and stored on infrastructure located outside your home territory, including the United States.
- Safety Mechanisms: For transfers originating from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we utilize European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and robust technical safeguards. By using the Services, you acknowledge this transfer.
9. Your Statutory Rights (GDPR / CCPA / CPRA)
Depending on your residency, you may hold rights to:
- Access or receive a copy of your personal data.
- Request the correction or total removal of your information.
- Withdraw consent or object to specific processing activities.
- Opt-out of the "sale" of personal data (CCPA/CPRA) where applicable.
To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. Identity verification may be performed prior to fulfilling these rights.
10. COPPA Compliance
While children may access our software, we do not knowingly collect their data without parental oversight. If we identify unauthorized minor data, it will be deleted promptly. Parents can initiate this process via [email protected]. We strictly prohibit the use of children's data for behavioral tracking or targeted marketing.
11. Cookies and Tracking
We use digital identifiers to:
- Ensure the core stability of our Services.
- Analyze user traffic and performance.
- Facilitate advertising delivery where applicable.
Disabling these via your browser/device may limit certain game features.
12. External Infrastructure
Our Services may feature links to outside websites. Aplox is not accountable for the privacy standards of these external entities. Please review their policies before providing data.
13. Document Revisions
We reserve the right to modify this policy at intervals. The most current version is always accessible at: https://aploxgame.com/silentminefield/privacy.html. Continued use of Silent Minefield constitutes your agreement to the updated terms.
