This privacy policy applies to the MindGames app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices, created by BlackHorse (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Free service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".

Information Collection and Use

The Application automatically collects certain information when you download and use it, including:

  • Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • The operating system used on your mobile device
  • Game activity data: sessions played, time spent, scores achieved, and levels completed (aggregated, used to improve the Application)

Online multiplayer modes (Rummi-Cu Online and Conecta 4 Online): When you use any online multiplayer feature, the following additional data is stored in Google Firebase / Cloud Firestore for the duration of the active game session:

  • A randomly generated anonymous player ID (a UUID stored only on your device)
  • A display name (nickname) chosen by you — this is optional, can be changed at any time, and does not need to match your real name
  • Game state data (tiles, board positions, moves, turn order, room code) shared in real time between players in the same room
  • Connection presence: a periodic heartbeat that indicates whether you are still connected to a game
  • Emoji reactions: pre-defined emojis you send to other players during a match (temporary, not stored after the game ends)

No email address, phone number, or government-issued ID is required.

ℹ️
What other players see in online multiplayer:
Other players in the same game session will see your chosen nickname, your moves and game actions, and any pre-defined emoji reactions you send. They will not see your real name, email address, device information, or purchase history.

No free-form communication: The Application does not include text chat, voice chat, or any free-form messaging between players. Player interaction is limited to game moves and pre-defined emoji reactions.

Automatic deletion of online data: Active multiplayer sessions are automatically deleted from Firebase within 2 hours of completion or inactivity. Player nicknames are stored locally on your device only.

ℹ️
What we do NOT collect:
The Application does not collect precise location data from your mobile device.
The Application does not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to process your personal data.
The Application does not require you to create an account or provide personal information such as your real name or email address to use the core features.

The Service Provider uses the collected information to:

  • Save and sync your game progress across sessions (via Firebase / Google Firestore)
  • Enable online multiplayer sessions (Rummi-Cu En Línea)
  • Display advertisements through Google AdMob
  • Analyze aggregate usage patterns to improve the Application
