Privacy Policy for the game 23:59

The game "23:59" is developed by olerast (the "developer"). Contact: the form at olerast.com/security.

What data the game collects

The developer does not collect or store players' personal data such as name, phone number, email address or location. The game does not request access to the device's location.

Game progress (money, level, settings, garage) is stored on the player's device. In the Yandex Games version, progress is also saved to Yandex cloud storage through the Yandex Games SDK if the player is signed in to a Yandex account.

Advertising

The game shows ads:

in the Google Play version: Google AdMob (Google LLC) and the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK (Yandex LLC);
in the RuStore version: the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK;
in the Yandex Games version: through the Yandex Games SDK.

In the Google Play version, on first launch, players in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and US states with privacy laws see Google's consent form. You can change your choice at any time in the game settings ("Privacy" button).

To show ads and count impressions, these SDKs may process the device advertising ID, device model, OS version, IP address, approximate location derived from the IP address (country, city) and information about interactions with ads. This data is processed by Google LLC (Google privacy policy, how Google uses data from partner apps) and Yandex LLC (Yandex privacy policy) under their own privacy policies.

You can limit ad personalization in your device settings (reset or delete the advertising ID).

Progress transfer

In the game settings you can get a transfer code that contains your game progress (money, level, garage, purchases). The code is created on the device and is never sent anywhere by the game: you copy it yourself and paste it on another device.

Purchases

The game offers optional purchases: removing ads, in-game money, cosmetics and a season pass. Payments are accepted and processed by the store you installed the game from: Google Play (Google LLC), RuStore (VK LLC) or Yandex Games (Yandex LLC). The game never sees or stores card or payment details. It only receives the purchased item ID and a purchase token from the store, so it can grant the item once and restore it after reinstalling; this information is stored on the player's device.

Analytics

To understand which parts of the game players enjoy and where they stop playing, the game sends anonymized statistics:

in the RuStore and Google Play versions: to AppMetrica (Yandex LLC);
in the Yandex Games version: to Yandex Metrica (Yandex LLC).

The game sends gameplay events (game start, job completed or failed, new level, weapon bought with in-game money, ad shown) and technical information: installation and device identifiers, device model, OS version, language, IP address and crash reports. The game does not request your location. This data is processed by Yandex LLC under its privacy policy.

Bug reports

The game settings (except in the Yandex Games version) have a "Report a bug" button. It opens olerast.com/security in your browser and passes only the game version, build type, platform and language in the address. The game itself sends nothing. You decide what to write and whether to leave a contact for a reply. The developer uses reports only to fix bugs and reply to them.

Test version

The Android test version is distributed from the game page on olerast.com, outside the app stores. It installs as a separate app, "23:59 beta", and follows this policy with these differences:

it shows test ads only (Google AdMob test units and Yandex Mobile Ads demo units): the developer earns nothing from them, but the ad SDKs process data as described in "Advertising";
AppMetrica analytics is on to find bugs and places where the game lags or crashes; the data is the same as in "Analytics";
there are no real-money purchases in the test version.

Data deletion

Game progress is deleted when you uninstall the game or use "Clear data" in the app settings on your device. The Yandex Games cloud save can be deleted in your Yandex account settings. To request deletion of data processed by advertising and analytics services through the advertising ID, reset the advertising ID in your device settings or write to the developer through the form at olerast.com/security.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

The developer may update this policy. The new version is published at the same address.
