Echo — Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
Echo is a puzzle-platformer game developed by BlackCrates. This policy explains how information is handled when you play Echo.
Information stored on your device
Echo stores game progress, settings, Revive Orb balance, purchase-related records, and your selected age group locally on your device. You do not need to create an Echo account.
We ask for an age group, not your exact birth date. The age group determines which advertising and privacy protections the game applies.
Advertising
Echo uses Google AdMob for interstitial and optional rewarded advertisements.
Google’s advertising SDK can collect information such as IP address, approximate location inferred from IP address, device or advertising identifiers, ad interactions, and diagnostic information. This information supports advertising, measurement, service operation, and fraud prevention. Collection depends on the privacy settings applied to the user. Google’s advertising data disclosure
For adults, advertising may be personalized depending on applicable consent choices and settings. Where required, Google’s consent form is displayed.
Children and younger players
Echo includes children in its intended audience. Advertising initialization waits until an age group has been confirmed.
For both the Under 13 and 13–17 age groups, Echo requests child-level advertising protections and G-rated ad content. Google states that child-level treatment disables personalized advertising and remarketing and prevents transmission of the Android advertising identifier. Limited technical data may still be processed to deliver advertisements and support security and fraud prevention. Google’s age-treatment information
Parents or guardians can contact us with privacy questions or concerns about their child’s information.
In-app purchases
Echo uses Unity In-App Purchasing and Google Play Billing for optional purchases, including Revive Orbs and removal of interstitial advertisements.
Google Play processes payments. BlackCrates does not receive your full payment-card details. Purchase information, such as product identifiers, transaction identifiers, receipts, and purchase status, is used to grant purchased items, recognize eligible ownership, and prevent duplicate rewards.
Contacting us
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include. We use this information to respond to your request and resolve support or privacy concerns. Please avoid sending unnecessary personal information.
Sharing and service providers
Information is processed by service providers involved in advertising, purchases, and email support as described above. We may disclose information when legally required.
These providers may process information outside your country. Their privacy practices are described in their policies:
Retention and deletion
Local game data remains on your device until it is cleared or removed. You can clear Echo’s app storage through Android settings; doing so also removes local progress and settings. Device backup and restore settings may affect whether data returns after reinstalling.
We retain support correspondence only as needed to address requests and meet applicable legal obligations. Service providers retain information according to their own policies and obligations. Clearing Echo’s local storage does not delete Google Play purchase records or information already held by service providers.
You may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information we hold, subject to applicable law.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information we handle. Google states that data transmitted by its Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit. No storage or transmission method is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when Echo’s features or data practices change. Updates will appear on this page with a revised date.
