Block Smash Privacy Policy

#Block Smash Privacy Policy

**Last updated: [21.08.2026]**

In short: Block Smash saves your progress only on your own device — best score, Adventure progress, coins, boosters, and settings. The app also shows ads through Google's AdMob, which involves some technical, non-personal data (like a device advertising identifier and approximate location) being sent to Google to serve and measure those ads. The app has no accounts, no sign-in, and collects no personal information like your name, email, or contacts.

## Who this policy is from

Block Smash (com.bekagames.blocksmash) is developed and published by Beka Tsiklauri. This policy explains what the app, and the third-party services it uses, do with information.

## Information we collect directly

None. The app itself does not collect your personal data — no name, email, contacts, photos, precise location, or any other personally identifying information. It does not ask you to create an account or to sign in.

## Information stored on your device

So the game can remember where you were, it saves the following in the app's private storage area on your device:

* your best score and the game in progress;

* Adventure level progress and stars earned;

* coins and boosters you hold;

* your settings: sound, music, reduce motion, and the chosen block skin.

This information never leaves your device. It is not readable by other apps. Uninstalling Block Smash deletes all of it permanently, and there is no copy anywhere else to restore from.

## Advertising

Block Smash shows ads (a banner, and an optional "watch an ad to continue" video) served by Google's Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob). The app requests the Android INTERNET permission specifically for this — without it, no ad could ever load.

To serve and measure these ads, Google (and, potentially, its advertising partners) may collect and process:

* a device advertising identifier;

* approximate location, estimated from your IP address;

* which ads were shown and how you interacted with them (e.g., whether a video ad was watched to completion);

* basic diagnostic data (crash logs, app performance) from the ad SDK itself.

This data is collected and processed by Google as an independent party, under [Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) and [How Google uses information from sites or apps that use their services](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites) — not by us directly, and we do not receive it. The app does not request permission to track you across other companies' apps or websites (no App Tracking Transparency prompt on iOS), so ads are shown without personalized ad targeting.

You can reset your device's advertising identifier or limit ad personalization at any time in your device's system settings.

## Children

Block Smash is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app's advertising, contact us using the details below.

## Google Play / App Store

The app is distributed through Google Play and the Apple App Store. Both platforms independently collect information related to app distribution — such as install counts, and crash reports if you've enabled sharing them on your device. That processing is carried out by Google and Apple under their own privacy policies and is outside our control. We do not receive any personal information about you from either platform.

## Your rights

We hold no personal data of yours on any server — there is nothing on our end for us to access, correct, export, or delete on your behalf. For the game data stored only on your device, you are in full control: clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it removes everything the game has saved. For the advertising data Google processes, Google's own privacy policy explains your rights and choices with them directly.

## Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app changes what it collects or transmits — new features, new third-party services, cloud saves, or leaderboards — this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top will change. Please check back after major updates.
