SICHA (Cossack Combat) — last updated 22 October 2026
SICHA is a sabre duel game made by Dmytro Gladkyi. This policy explains what the game does with information about you. In short: the game collects nothing about you and has no server of its own.
What the game stores
The game saves your progress (unlocked heroes, sabres, camps and combos, the Cossack's Path, statistics), your settings and any duel replays you keep only on your device. This data is never sent to us or to anyone else. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes it.
What the game does not do
- No account, sign-in or registration.
- No analytics, tracking, advertising or advertising identifiers.
- No crash reporting or third-party SDKs that collect data.
- No access to your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or location.
Wi-Fi duels
When you play a duel with a friend over Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot, the two devices exchange game inputs, the game version and timing data directly with each other on your local network. Nothing goes over the internet and nothing reaches us. The join code you share contains only the host's local network address.
Purchases
Heroes, weapon bundles and camps are sold through the store you installed the game from: Google Play, the App Store or Steam. The store handles the payment; the game never sees your payment details. The game receives only a confirmation of what you own, checks it on your device and unlocks the item in your local save. The stores' own privacy policies apply to the payment: Google, Apple, Valve.
Steam version
On Steam, online duels, lobbies, invites and the status your friends see ("in a duel", "in the menu") go through Steam. Steam shares your Steam name and friends list with the game only while it runs, so it can show who you are playing; the game does not store them. Valve's privacy policy applies.
Android permissions
- Internet, network state, Wi-Fi state, wake lock: Wi-Fi duels on your local network, and keeping the screen on during a duel.
- Vibrate: haptic feedback, which you can turn off in Settings.
- Billing: purchases through Google Play.
Children
The game collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If the game ever starts handling data differently, this page will be updated before that version is released, and the date above will change.
