Player data

Google Play version

The upcoming Google Play version, intended for players aged 13 and over, is covered by the privacy policy and its Russian version. You can request deletion of an Android account without installing the game on the account deletion page.

Game availability

Lapka: Cozy Cafe is available on RuStore and as a direct Android download. Yandex Games, VK, Odnoklassniki and Google Play are coming soon. A CrazyGames release is also planned. Accounts, cloud saves, advertising and purchases depend on the platform and version; this page describes data processing when the corresponding features are used.

What information is used

Progress is saved in the browser or app on the player’s device and synced to our server when the version supports cloud saves and the player enables them. The Android preview version offers optional sign-in with VK ID (including OK and Mail in its sign-in window) or Yandex ID. The server stores the verified provider identifier, internal cafe profile and linked sign-in methods. The device key is stored securely on the phone; the server stores its hash. The game does not receive your password or store your provider profile, email address or phone number. Purchases on Android are currently disabled. With cloud sign-in through Yandex Games, VK or Odnoklassniki, the game receives the platform’s signed player identifier and sends it to the server with game actions. The device stores the local progress’s link to this identifier and a random tab secret, to restore the session and prevent moves from being transferred to another account. The server stores the platform and player identifiers, cafe state, game actions and rewards, and, when neighbours and festivals are used, connections between profiles, gifts and competition results. An advertising reward is recorded when granted. For in-game purchases, the server stores purchased entitlements and purchase tokens for restoration and protection against duplicate grants. We do not receive the player’s bank card details, identity documents, phone number or postal address.

Advertising on Android

The RuStore version is intended for teenagers and adults aged 12 and over. The Google Play version is intended for teenagers and adults aged 13 and over. Yandex Mobile Ads provides a persistent banner, full-screen ads between shifts and optional rewarded ads for help. The SDK processes advertising and technical data about the device, network and interactions with ads; it may use the device advertising identifier when available. See Yandex’s privacy policy.

Location tracking is disabled and ad personalisation is not enabled in the current version. Exact age is not collected or sent to the advertising SDK. Sign-in keys, progress and sign-in provider account identifiers are not shared with the advertising SDK. Separate builds with test ads are used to check ad formats. Real ads depend on the advertising network activating the app. You can play without ads being available.

Purpose and retention

This information is needed to restore your cafe on another device, retain paid features and avoid granting a purchase or advertising reward twice. An active profile is kept while the player uses cloud saves or until deletion is requested. There is currently no automatic deletion period for inactive profiles. Daily backups are scheduled to be retained for 30 days; older copies are removed during the next successful backup cycle. If a backup is restored, deletion requests are applied again.

Platforms and security

When you play through Yandex Games, VK or Odnoklassniki, that platform processes its own account, payment and advertising data under its own terms and policy. When you install through RuStore, the store processes information about use of its services under its own rules. Direct Android installation does not require a game platform account. Our game server is located in Russia. Data is sent to it over HTTPS; access to the database and backups is restricted. We do not publish game identifiers or sell player data.

Deleting an Android account

In the installed game, open Settings → Account → Delete account, sign in to the account you want to delete and confirm. This deletes the cloud cafe, progress, coins, upgrades, game and advertising operations, linked sign-in methods and access for all devices. Local progress and game backups on this phone are also deleted. Cancelling before sending changes nothing; you can retry after a network error.

Your VK and Yandex accounts are not deleted. Local copies on other phones must be cleared separately. Signing in again creates a new empty account. A technical receipt is kept for up to 30 days to allow safe retries: only a hash of the random device key and an expiry date, with no account or provider ID. Backups are deleted during rotation; profile deletion must be reapplied before an older backup is used.

Your requests

For access, corrections, help with deletion or profile deletion on other platforms, email cafe-lapka@yandex.ru. Include the game name, Lapka: Cozy Cafe, and your platform or installation method: Yandex Games, VK, Odnoklassniki, RuStore or direct Android installation. We will explain how to confirm ownership of the profile and reply to the same address. Do not send passwords, payment details or identity documents. Deleting a profile removes progress and may affect purchased in-game features; we will explain the consequences before carrying out the request.

Local Android progress

An offline version’s local save is stored only on your device. The developer cannot remotely restore or delete it. Clearing app data or uninstalling the app removes this progress. If you enable cloud saves, you can restore your cafe by signing in to the same account on another phone. Signing out revokes access for that device and keeps the local cafe.
