Privacy Policy

Effective date: 8 August 2026

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Edgar Official Studio ("we", "us", "our") develops and publishes the mobile game Break Block Puzzle (the "Game") for Android and iOS. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Game handles, why, and what choices you have.

By downloading or playing the Game, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.

Contact: edgarofficialstudio@gmail.com

## 1. Short version

- You can play the entire Game without creating an account and without giving us any personal information.

- If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, we store your game progress in the cloud so you can keep it when you change phones, and your best score can appear on the worldwide leaderboard.

- The Game shows rewarded video ads only — they play when you choose to watch one, never forced. Ads are served by Google AdMob.

- We use Google Analytics for Firebase to count anonymous gameplay events (levels played, purchases, ads watched) so we can balance the Game and measure our advertising. It never receives your name or email. We do not run our own crash reporting.

- We never sell your personal information, and we never share it with data brokers.

- We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

## 2. Information we handle

### 2.1 If you play without signing in

Your progress — levels completed, stars, gems, records and settings — is stored only on your own device. We cannot see it, and the Game does not send it to us.

If you uninstall the Game, change devices or clear the app's data, this progress is permanently lost. We cannot recover it, because we never had a copy.

Rewarded ads still work without signing in; see section 2.6 for what Google AdMob handles.

### 2.2 If you sign in

Signing in is optional. You may sign in with Google (Android and iOS) or Apple (iOS).

When you sign in, we receive from the sign-in provider:

- A unique account identifier — to recognise your account and link it to your saved progress.

- Email address — to identify your account and, if you contact us, to answer you.

- Display name (if provided) — to show your name next to your score on the leaderboard.

If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple lets you hide your real email address. We fully support this — a private relay address works exactly the same for us.

We never receive your Google or Apple password.

### 2.3 Cloud save and leaderboard

Once you are signed in, we store the following in Google Cloud Firestore so it survives a change of device:

- Adventure progress: levels reached, stars earned, worlds unlocked

- Gems, owned items and boosters

- Best scores and daily-challenge streak

- Purchase entitlements (for example, whether you have bought Remove Ads)

- Your leaderboard entry: display name and best score

The Game does not request access to your contacts, photos, location, microphone or camera.

### 2.4 Analytics

Starting with version 1.0.1, the Game uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how it is played and to measure the advertising we buy for it. It records gameplay events such as:

- Which levels and modes you start and finish, scores, stars and whether a run was lost or revived

- Gems earned and spent, rescues and boosters used

- Whether you watched a rewarded ad, and where in the Game

- Purchases: the product bought, its price and the Google Play / App Store order number (never your payment details); Google Play also reports completed purchases to Firebase automatically

- Screens visited, app opens, session length, sign-in events (which provider you used), and two settings: your language and whether you own Remove Ads

Together with these events, Firebase collects a random app-instance identifier (not your name), the device's advertising identifier where permitted, device model, operating system version, language, country derived from your IP address and the app version. If you are signed in, events are linked to your account's internal user ID so that your progress and purchases can be counted once across your devices; your email address and display name are never sent to Analytics.

Analytics data is used to balance the Game, fix problems and measure our advertising campaigns (for example in Google Ads). Google keeps this data for up to 14 months. For players in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, analytics follows the choices you make in the consent form described in section 2.6: without your consent, data is not stored for analytics or used for advertising.

We do not collect crash reports ourselves. The software providers we rely on (Google Firebase and Google AdMob) may record technical diagnostic information, such as error and performance data, to operate their services; this is covered by their own policies listed in section 4.

### 2.5 Purchases

If you buy something in the Game, the payment is processed entirely by Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iOS). We never see or store your card number, bank details or billing address. We receive only a confirmation from the store that a specific purchase succeeded, so we can unlock what you bought.

Your purchases are tied to your Google Play or Apple account. If you reinstall the Game or change phones, the store confirms what you own and the Game unlocks it again (you can also tap Restore purchases in the Shop).

### 2.6 Advertising

The Game shows rewarded video ads only. An ad plays only when you choose to watch one — for example to collect free gems in the Shop or to continue after losing a run. There are no banners and no ads that interrupt play.

Ads are served by Google AdMob. To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, Google may collect and use:

- Your device's advertising identifier (a resettable identifier, not your name)

- Approximate (coarse) location derived from your IP address, device model, operating system version and language

- Interactions with ads, such as whether you watched an ad to the end (so we can give you the reward)

- Diagnostic data, such as ad-loading errors and performance information

Where the law requires it — for example for players in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland — you are asked for consent before personalised ads are used, through Google's consent form. You may refuse and still receive the reward, with non-personalised ads. When this applies, you can change your choice at any time in Settings ⚙️ → Ad privacy choices.

On iOS, the advertising identifier is used only if you allow it in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You may decline, and you can change this later in iOS Settings.

If you buy Remove Ads, no ads are shown and the ad software is not started.

## 3. Why we are allowed to handle this data

Where the GDPR applies to you, our legal bases are:

- Contract — sign-in, cloud save, leaderboard and purchases: we cannot provide those features without handling the data.

- Consent — personalised advertising and, on iOS, tracking. You may withdraw consent at any time as described in section 2.6.

- Legitimate interests — keeping the Game secure and working, including fraud prevention for ads and purchases; and understanding how the Game is played through anonymous analytics (section 2.4), which does not involve advertising unless you consent.

## 4. Who we share data with

We share data only with the service providers that make the Game work:

- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Google Analytics for Firebase) — sign-in, cloud save, leaderboard and analytics. Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

- Google AdMob — rewarded video ads. Policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

- Google (Google Sign-In, Google Play) — sign-in, payments and app distribution on Android. Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

- Apple (Sign in with Apple, App Store) — sign-in, payments and app distribution on iOS. Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with data brokers. We may disclose information if we are legally required to do so by a valid court order or equivalent legal process.

Our providers may store data on servers outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, these transfers rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

## 5. How long we keep data

- Local progress: stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the Game.

- Cloud save, leaderboard entry and account data: kept while your account exists, and deleted when you delete your account (backups expire within 30 days).

- Advertising data: handled and retained by Google under its own policies.

- Analytics data: up to 14 months (Google Analytics for Firebase retention setting).

## 6. Your rights and choices

### 6.1 Delete your account and all cloud data

You can delete your account from inside the Game: Settings ⚙️ → your account → Delete account.

This permanently erases your cloud save, your leaderboard entry and your account record. It cannot be undone. If you signed in with Apple, we also revoke the Game's access to your Apple ID.

You can also request deletion by emailing edgarofficialstudio@gmail.com from the address associated with your account. We will complete the deletion within 30 days and confirm by email.

Purchases are tied to your Google Play or Apple account, not to your game account, and are not refunded by deleting your game account.

### 6.2 Erase local progress

To erase everything stored on your device, uninstall the Game or clear its data in your device settings.

### 6.3 Other rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to it. Email edgarofficialstudio@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.

If you are in the EEA or the UK and believe we have handled your data improperly, you may complain to your national data protection authority.

### 6.4 Limiting ad tracking

- Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads → Delete advertising ID

- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track", or turn it off for Break Block Puzzle only

### 6.5 Analytics

Analytics events are anonymous unless you sign in. Deleting your account (section 6.1) removes the link between analytics events and your account; you can also email us to request deletion of analytics data tied to your app instance.

## 7. Children

The Game is rated for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, email edgarofficialstudio@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.

## 8. Security

Data in transit is encrypted using TLS. Cloud data is protected by Firebase Security Rules so that your saved game can only be read and written by your own signed-in account.

No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal data, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.

## 9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as the Game changes. The "Last updated" date at the top always shows the current version. If a change materially affects your rights, we will tell you inside the Game before it takes effect.
