NerdSweeper — Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 31, 2025 — A short, plain-language statement of our privacy practices for the offline game.
Overview
NerdSweeper is a simple, entirely offline game. We value your privacy and keep data handling to a minimum. This policy explains what (if any) information the app handles, why, and how you can contact us.
Short version
The game collects no personal data, contains no ads or analytics, and has no in‑app purchases. Any game progress or settings are stored locally on your device only and are never transmitted to our servers.
Contact
If you have questions about this privacy policy or the app's behavior, email: erikr2d2@gmail.com.
Details
1. Information we collect
None.
The game does not request, collect, or transmit personal information, unique identifiers, or telemetry. There is no account system or server-side component by default.
2. Local data and storage
The app may save configuration, preferences, and game progress on your device (for example in a local file or your browser's local storage). These files remain on your device and are not uploaded or shared by the app. If you export or back up these files, that action is controlled by your device and backup tools.
3. No ads, analytics, or third-party tracking
This app contains no advertisements. We do not include analytics or tracking libraries. No usage data is sent to any external service.
4. No purchases
There are no in-app purchases, subscriptions, or payment flows in this app.
5. Children
Suitable for all ages.
Because the app does not collect personal data, it does not knowingly collect information from children. If a parent or guardian believes the app has received information about a child, contact us at the email above.
6. Security
Because the app does not transmit user data, there is no server-side personal data to secure. For files stored on your device, use your device's security features (screen lock, backups, encryption) to protect them.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the app's features change (for example, if an online feature is added). Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notifying users in-app or via the project website.
8. Legal & jurisdictional notes
Informational only.
This policy is intended to be a clear statement of current practices and is not a contract. Applicable laws vary by location; if you need a specific legal disclosure for your jurisdiction, contact us and we will provide one if required.
Quick FAQ
Q: Does the game phone home?
A: No. The app runs fully offline and does not send data to external servers.
Q: Where is my save data stored?
A: Save data is stored locally on your device. Location depends on your platform (desktop, mobile, browser). The developer does not receive or access these files.
Q: I found a bug that includes sensitive info in a log — what should I do?
Before sharing logs, remove or redact any sensitive information (passwords, private keys). If you need to send sensitive data for troubleshooting, contact erikr2d2@gmail.com and we will provide a secure way to share it if necessary.
