Effective Date: 14 September 2026
Technic Games built Latch: Block Slide Puzzle as a mobile game. This privacy policy explains how information is collected, used, and shared when you use the game.
Latch uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. We do not require you to create an account with us, and we do not ask you to provide personal information directly.
Analytics (GameAnalytics). Limited gameplay and technical data, which may include:
device and app information (model, OS version, language, app version)
gameplay events and progression (levels started and completed, moves used, stars earned)
session information
country/region-level (coarse) location
crash and performance information
Advertising (Google AdMob). The game displays ads through Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK), including banner, interstitial, and rewarded (opt-in) video ads. To serve and measure ads, AdMob and its partners may collect:
advertising identifiers (Apple IDFA on iOS, Google Advertising ID on Android)
device and network information (device type, OS, IP address, coarse location)
ad interaction data (impressions, clicks, rewarded-ad completions)
Ads may be personalized or non-personalized depending on your consent choices and device settings (see "Your Choices and Consent"). Google's handling of this data is described in Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
In-App Purchases. Latch offers one optional in-app purchase — "Remove Ads" — processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. Payments are handled entirely by the relevant app store; we do not collect or store your payment card or billing details. We receive only the purchase/entitlement result needed to deliver what you bought and to restore it on your other devices.
Game Center (iOS only). If you are signed in to Game Center on your device, Latch can submit your total star count to a leaderboard and record achievements for completing chapters. Game Center is operated by Apple: it identifies you by your Game Center player identifier, and your chosen Game Center nickname and score may be visible to other players on the leaderboard. Latch does not receive your Apple Account email or real name. Apple's handling of this data is described in the Apple Privacy Policy. This feature is optional — see "Your Choices and Consent".
Google Play Games (Android only). If you are signed in to Google Play Games on your device, Latch can submit your total star count to a leaderboard and record achievements for completing chapters. Google Play Games is operated by Google: it identifies you by your Play Games player ID, and your gamer name, avatar and scores may be visible to other players according to your Play Games profile visibility settings. Latch does not receive your Google Account email or real name. Google's handling of this data is described in Google's Privacy Policy. This feature is optional — see "Your Choices and Consent".
Notifications. With your permission, Latch schedules reminders — for example, when free coins are ready, or if you have not played for a while. These are local notifications, created and scheduled on your own device. Latch does not use a push notification service, does not register a push token, and no notification data is sent to us or to any third party.
Information stored on your device. Your progress, settings, coins, purchased entitlements and consent choices are saved locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to us and is removed when you uninstall the game.
This information is used only to:
understand how players use the game
improve gameplay and game balance
fix bugs and improve performance
monitor app stability
display and measure advertising
deliver and restore in-app purchases (such as removing ads)
show leaderboards and achievements, where you use Game Center (iOS) or Google Play Games (Android)
deliver the reminders you have opted in to
Latch does not require you to create an account with Technic Games. Game Center (iOS) and Google Play Games (Android) are optional, and are governed by your Apple Account and Google Account settings.
Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland). Before serving ads to users in these regions, we present a consent message through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), allowing you to accept or decline personalized advertising. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Ad Privacy inside the game.
iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT). On iOS you will be asked whether to allow tracking. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they will be non-personalized.
Advertising ID. You can reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
Game Center. You can sign out of, or disable, Game Center in iOS Settings → Game Center. With it off, Latch submits no scores or achievements and the game remains fully playable.
Google Play Games. You can sign out of Google Play Games, or change who can see your gaming profile, in the Google Play Games app or your Google Account settings. Signed out, Latch submits no scores or achievements and the game remains fully playable.
Notifications. You can turn reminders off at any time in Settings → Notifications inside the game, or in your device's notification settings.
US residents. Depending on your state, you may have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and to request access to or deletion of your personal information. Where required, we present a US states privacy message through Google's User Messaging Platform, and you can reopen it from Settings → Ad Privacy. You may also contact us at the address below to exercise these rights.
If you do not want any analytics or advertising data collected, you may stop using the game and uninstall it from your device.
Latch is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country) and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. We do not knowingly serve advertising targeted to children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so appropriate action can be taken.
