Kodo Clan This Privacy Policy explains how Arutyunov Vladimir, IE, operating under the brand Kodo Clan (“Kodo Clan”, “we”, “us”), handles information when you play COREBOUND: Deep Drill (the “Game”) on Android.

4. Advertising
When ads appear. There are no ads during an expedition. After an expedition in which you mined materials, the Game may — no more than once every four expeditions — offer to double the mined materials by watching a short video. Watching is always your choice: you can decline with “No, thanks”.
Who shows the ads.
- Yandex Advertising Network (Yandex Mobile Ads SDK) is our main advertising partner.
- In the version of the Game distributed through Google Play, ads from Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) may also be shown through Yandex’s mediation.
What our advertising partners collect. Based on the partners’ own disclosures, when ads are loaded or shown, the following may be collected and shared with the advertising partners:
| Data type | Examples | Purposes | Collected by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device or other identifiers | Android advertising ID, app set ID | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention | Yandex, Google |
| Approximate location | Estimated from your IP address (no precise location) | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention | |
| App interactions | Ad views and taps, app launches | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention | |
| Diagnostics and crash logs of the advertising SDK | Launch time, hang rate, performance data | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention |
The Yandex Mobile Ads SDK also includes Yandex’s own service components (AppMetrica, Varioqub and DivKit), which Yandex uses to operate its advertising service. Yandex does not separately document what these bundled components collect; information about AppMetrica is available in Yandex’s AppMetrica data disclosure.
All data sent by the advertising SDKs is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS).
Your choices.
- Consent (EEA, UK and Switzerland). In the Google Play version, before ads are loaded, the Game shows a consent form powered by Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP). If you do not consent, ads may still be shown but will not be personalized. You can change your choice at any time in the Game: Settings → “Ad settings” (the button appears where consent is required).
- Other regions. Ads may be personalized by default according to the advertising partners’ settings.
- Advertising ID. You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalization, in your Android device settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads, or Google → Ads, depending on the device).
Partners’ policies.
- Yandex: Yandex Ads Privacy Policy and Yandex Mobile Ads SDK data disclosure
- Google: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services
5. Analytics and crash reporting
We do not use our own analytics or crash reporting services. The only analytics and diagnostics data processed in connection with the Game is the data collected by the advertising SDKs described in section 4.
6. In-app purchases
The Game has no in-app purchases or subscriptions and does not process payments.
7. Accounts
The Game has no user accounts, so there is no account to create or delete. To delete all game data, uninstall the Game or use the profile reset option in the Game’s settings.
8. Sharing of information
We do not collect personal data ourselves, so we do not sell or share it. Data collected by the advertising SDKs is processed by Yandex and Google as described in section 4 and in their privacy policies.
9. International transfers
Our advertising partners may process data in countries other than your own, including the countries where Yandex and Google operate their services.
10. Data retention and deletion
- On your device. Game progress, settings and your consent choice are kept until you uninstall the Game or reset your profile in the Game’s settings.
- With us. We do not hold any data collected through the Game.
- With advertising partners. Data is retained according to Yandex’s and Google’s policies. You can limit future collection by resetting or deleting your advertising ID and by changing your ad consent choice (section 4).
If you contact us by e-mail, we keep your message and e-mail address as long as needed to answer your request, and no longer than 2 years after our last communication.
11. Security
The Game itself makes no network requests. The advertising SDKs transmit data using encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).
12. Children
The Game is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data in connection with the Game, contact us and we will help to address it.
13. Your rights
Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not hold data collected through the Game, requests about advertising data are best directed to Yandex and Google through the links in section 4. We will help you with any request — contact us at the address below.
14. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy when the Game’s data practices change, for example when an SDK or advertising partner is added or removed. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed.
15. Contact
