The Android version of the Game requests only the INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permissions, as well as an AndroidX library service permission that applies only within the app itself (DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION); permissions requiring the player’s consent (camera, microphone, location, contacts, storage) are not requested; once push notifications are enabled, the permission to show notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) is added, which on Android 13 and later the player grants or refuses in the system dialog and may revoke in the device settings; the advertising ID, location and contacts are not used. Processing of data of visitors to the website countersky.ru is described in section 15.

8.1. The Operator instructs the following persons to process personal data:
- Nadir Abdulrakibovich Anam - administration of the server and database, backups, technical support of the Game; processing takes place in the Russian Federation;
- LLC Unisender SMART (Unisender Go service; INN 9731091240) - sending service emails (the password recovery code, links confirming the account email address, links confirming requests sent via the website form, and replies to requests and enquiries) over secure SMTP from no-reply@countersky.ru; the email address and content of the email are processed; processing takes place in the Russian Federation;
- LLC Mnogo Prilozheniy (RuStore; OGRN 1237700094752, INN 9725113777) - under the RuStore developer agreement (clauses 4.5.1-4.5.4), processing of payment data (date, time, amount, receipt, product, crediting logs) and the player’s email address to send the cash receipt and record the payment;
8.2. The instructions are formalised by agreements containing the conditions of Part 3 of Article 6 of the Personal Data Law: the list of actions and purposes, the obligation to keep data confidential and ensure its security, and the requirements of Article 19 of the Personal Data Law. The instruction to LLC Unisender SMART is given under the Unisender Go service offer accepted by the Operator (the offer was accepted by paying for the subscription; the personal data processing instruction is contained in the offer).
8.3. The server and database are located in a data centre in Moscow with the hosting provider FirstVDS (Joint-stock company IOT (JSC IOT), OGRN 1187746221860, INN 7731399513), which provides computing capacity; it is not given access to personal data. Database backups are encrypted and stored on the server and in the hosting provider’s data centre in Moscow for no longer than 30 days; they are not stored on any other media.
8.4. LLC Mnogo Prilozheniy is also an independent operator of RuStore user data and processes it under its own policy (https://www.rustore.ru/help/legal/privacy-policy-users). RuStore payments go through payment organisations; SBP (Faster Payments System) refunds go through NCO VK Payment Solutions (OGRN 1127711000042). Bank card data, the VK ID identifier and device data are processed by RuStore and the payment organisations independently under their own rules.

VK Play purchase data is transmitted to and received from VK Play; VK ID login data is received from LLC VK. To this extent these persons are independent operators. Once push notifications are enabled, to send service push notifications (purpose 1) the Operator uses the RuStore push notification service provided by LLC Mnogo Prilozheniy (RuStore; OGRN 1237700094752, INN 9725113777; 125040, Moscow, Leningradsky Prospekt, 34, premises 36/1P) under the RuStore developer agreement (clause 5.10): the Operator passes the push token and the text of the notification to the service; notifications do not contain payment amounts, the email address or other account data, other than information about the refund and the minus. The push token is generated and stored by the RuStore service; delivery to the device is provided by the RuStore app or, if it is absent, by another VK ecosystem app in which the player is logged in (for example, Mail, Dzen, Odnoklassniki). Device data and data on login to these apps are processed by RuStore and LLC VK independently under their own rules. Firebase Cloud Messaging and other foreign push notification services are not used.
8.5. Personal data may be provided to public authorities in cases provided by law.
8.6. No cross-border transfer of personal data takes place.

15.3. The form at https://countersky.ru/privacy/request (in English - https://countersky.ru/en/privacy/request) is intended for requests, personal data enquiries and account deletion requests, including for guest accounts. The form asks for the account email address or the guest ID, an email address for the reply, the request type and its text. Form data is sent to the Game server api.countersky.ru (the Operator’s server) and written to the Game server database; it is processed for purposes 3 and 4 and kept for the same periods. A request is accepted for consideration after the applicant follows the link in an email sent to the reply address immediately after the form is submitted, from no-reply@countersky.ru via the Unisender Go service (clause 8.1; the service receives the email address and the text of the email); the request is deemed received at the moment of confirmation (clause 12.2). The record stores the account email address (if stated) and the reply address (encrypted), the guest ID (if stated), the request type and text, the Policy revision, and the revision and time of the tick box (for general questions - the consent box; for personal data enquiries and account deletion requests - the confirmation box); the IP address and browser information (User-Agent) are not stored in the record. Confirmed requests are kept for 3 years from the day of confirmation and unconfirmed ones for 7 days, after which they are deleted automatically. Correspondence on the request and internal notes are kept together with it and deleted within the same period. To protect against spam, the Operator itself limits the submission rate from one IP address (purpose 5; the hashes used for this are deleted after 2 days) and uses a hidden form field; no cookies or third-party services are used for this. One tick box is mandatory to submit the form, and its text depends on the request type: for general questions (type “Other”) - a box giving consent to the processing of the data entered in the form to review and answer the request under section 2 of the Consent (version support-2026-11-11-r8), the basis for processing being consent; for personal data enquiries and account deletion requests - a box confirming that the visitor is entering their own data and has read how it will be processed to answer the request (section 12); this box is not consent, and the basis for processing is the Operator’s legal obligation (Article 6(1)(2), Articles 14, 20 and 21 of the Personal Data Law). A separate box “I have read the Policy” is also ticked.
15.4. Without submitting the form, visiting the website involves processing only the IP address and request information in web-server logs (purpose 5). It is used to ensure the operation and security of the website, kept for no more than 30 days and then deleted automatically. The website is hosted on the same virtual server as the Game server (api.countersky.ru), with the hosting provider FirstVDS in a data centre in Moscow (clause 8.3); no resources from third-party domains are loaded on the website. Web-server log data is not combined with game account data, and the Operator does not use it to identify visitors. No cross-border transfer takes place.
