1. Operator
The personal data operator is Ruslan Olegovich Kabanov, an individual and the developer of the Game.
Email for inquiries: kabanov34@gmail.com.
2. Where this policy applies
This policy applies when you play Klyov! on a social network or gaming platform where the Game is published (the "Platform").
By starting the Game, you confirm that you have read this policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Game.
3. What data we process
We do not ask you to register and do not request your phone number, email, passport or payment details. The set of data depends on the platform.
3.1. Account, progress and leaderboard
| Data | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Your account ID on the Platform | Signed launch parameters passed by the platform | To link your progress and leaderboard place to your account |
| Game progress: level, coins, gems, tackle, catch, collection, quests, achievements, game settings | The Game | To save your progress and restore it on any device |
| First name, last name and profile photo | The platform — only if you have opened the leaderboard | To show you to other players in the leaderboard |
| Leaderboard points ("fame"), places, weekly rewards | The Game | To run the weekly leaderboard and give out rewards |
| Platform, language, device type (web or mobile), Game version | Launch parameters and the Game | Correct operation of the Game and support |
3.2. Game statistics
To understand where the game is confusing or breaks, the Game sends anonymized events to our server:
- session start, tutorial steps, opening of screens;
- fish caught and the result of reeling in, purchases in the in-game shop for in-game currency;
- ad views and purchase attempts — without payment details;
- the text of technical errors in the Game.
Each event is sent together with the platform, Game version, session number, number of days since first launch, level and time of the event. The player is identified by a pseudonym:
- an irreversible hash of the platform user ID;
- if the platform has not passed the ID — a random identifier stored in the browser.
Name, photo and IP address are not recorded in the statistics.
3.3. Technical data
To deliver a request, the server, like any web server, sees the IP address and browser information. This data is used only to send the response and is not stored in player records.
4. Purposes of processing
- to provide the Game and save game progress;
- to run the player leaderboard, determine the winners of the week and give out rewards;
- to deliver purchases made through the platforms' payment systems;
- to find and fix bugs, and to improve the balance and usability of the Game;
- to prevent cheating and abuse in the leaderboard;
- to respond to player inquiries and restore progress on request.
5. Legal grounds
- Performance of the user agreement (clause 5, part 1, article 6 of 152-FZ) — storing progress, the leaderboard and delivering purchases are necessary for the Game to work as described in the agreement.
- Consent (clause 1, part 1, article 6 of 152-FZ) — to displaying your name and photo in the leaderboard and to collecting anonymized statistics. You give consent when you start the game and when you open the leaderboard. You can withdraw it by writing to the email in the "Contacts" section.
6. Where and for how long data is stored
Data is stored on the operator's server in a data center in Moscow (Russian Federation). Hosting is provided by VDSka (vdska.ru). A copy of progress is also kept in the app storage on the Platform.
| Data | Period |
|---|---|
| Game progress, leaderboard, name and photo for the leaderboard | While you play and for 3 years after your last login, then deleted. Earlier — at your request. |
| Previous versions of the save (for restoring progress) | The last 40 versions |
| Game statistics | Up to 2 years |
| Database backups | 14 days |
7. Who receives the data
We do not sell data, do not share it with advertisers and do not use it for targeted advertising. Only the following have access to the data:
- Hosting provider VDSka (vdska.ru, Russia) — the Game's server. It processes data on behalf of the operator and only for storage.
- Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) — a request delivery network. Purchase notifications from the Platform (user ID, order number and item) pass through it, as well as requests from older versions of the Game. This is a cross-border transfer; data is not stored in the Cloudflare network longer than needed for delivery.
- Government authorities — only in cases expressly provided for by law.
Your name, photo and leaderboard points are visible to other players on the same platform. That is the purpose of the leaderboard.
8. Platform, advertising and payment data
The Platform is an independent operator: it processes your account, payment and advertising data under its own rules.
In particular:
- Purchases are paid through the platforms' payment systems. We do not receive card numbers or other payment details: we only receive the order number and the purchased item.
- Advertising is shown only when you yourself have pressed the button to watch it. It is shown by the platforms' ad networks under their own rules.
The Platform's rules and privacy policy are available on its website.
9. Data on your device
The Game saves the following in the browser storage on your device:
- sound and language settings;
- a local copy of progress in case the connection drops;
- a random identifier for statistics — if the platform has not passed an account identifier.
You can delete this data by clearing the site data in your browser.
10. Your rights
You have the right to:
- find out what data about you we store and obtain a copy of it;
- demand that inaccurate data be corrected;
- demand that data be deleted: progress, leaderboard place, name and photo, statistics;
- withdraw your consent to processing;
- file a complaint with Roskomnadzor (the Russian data protection authority) or a court if you believe your rights have been violated.
Write to kabanov34@gmail.com and specify the platform and a link to your profile. We will reply within 10 business days.
You can also erase your progress yourself: Settings → Reset progress. The save will be deleted on all devices.
11. Data protection
- All connections to the server are encrypted (HTTPS).
- Every request is verified against the platform's digital signature — no one can write someone else's progress.
- Access to the database is protected by a password and keys, and only the operator has it.
- Backups are made daily.
12. Children
The Game is suitable for all ages, but it does not itself verify the player's age: age rules are set by the platforms. We knowingly do not collect anything about children beyond what is listed above. If you are a parent and want to delete your child's data, write to us.
13. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated along with the Game. A new version takes effect from the moment it is published on this page; the version date is shown at the top. We will announce significant changes in the Game's communities.
