Privacy Policy

1. Summary

Block Burst is a puzzle game that can be played entirely offline. We do not require account registration, we do not request access to your camera, microphone, location, contacts, or storage, and we do not upload your gameplay data to our servers. The only third party that processes data is our advertising provider, Google AdMob.

2. Data stored on your device

Your best score and the number of game sessions are stored locally in the app's storage on your device. This data is not sent anywhere and is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data.

3. Ads and the data collected by Google AdMob

This app displays ads through Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC) to fund development. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process:

Data type	Purpose
Advertising ID (AAID) and device identifiers	Ad personalization, frequency capping, measurement, and ad-fraud prevention
IP address and approximate location (city/country level)	Serving geographically relevant ads and complying with local regulations
Device information (model, operating system, language, carrier)	Ad-format compatibility and reporting
Ad interactions (impressions, clicks, completed videos)	Publisher payments and ad-performance measurement

Full details on how Google uses this data are available at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Ad formats used

• Banner in a dedicated area at the bottom of the screen, separate from the game board.
• Interstitial only at natural breaks, i.e. after a round ends. Never on app open, never on exit, and frequency-capped.
• Rewarded video that is entirely optional. This ad only runs after you tap its button yourself, and you can play the full game without ever watching one.

4. Your choices and controls

• Users in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland: the first time you open the app you will see a consent form (Google User Messaging Platform / UMP). You can change your choice at any time through the “Ad privacy settings” button on the game-over screen.
• All Android users: you can delete or reset your Advertising ID via Settings → Google → Ads, including the option to opt out of ad personalization.
• You can remove all local data by uninstalling the app.

5. Children

This app is not directed at children under 13 and is not enrolled in the Google Play Families program. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided data, please contact us and we will delete it.

6. Data security and retention

Because we do not operate any servers and do not receive player data, we do not store any personal data. Data processed by Google is retained in accordance with Google's retention policies.

7. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

For personalized ads, the legal basis is the consent you provide through the UMP form. For non-personalized ads and fraud prevention, the legal basis is legitimate interest. You have the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict the processing of your data, and to withdraw consent at any time.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the “last updated” date above will be revised and the latest version will always be available at this URL.
