This policy explains what Tim Blocks ("the app") keeps on your device, what it sends to Google's Firebase services, and how to delete it. Contact: timvpnsite@gmail.com
Game progress, best score, stats, Daily Puzzle results and settings (sound, vibration, appearance, language) are stored only on your device and are never uploaded. Deleting the app deletes them.
The app uses Google Firebase; Google processes this data on our behalf. The game plays without an internet connection; when there is one, the following is sent.
a) Cloud device record (Cloud Firestore). One record per device, named by a device identifier: your device's Android ID on Android, a random identifier kept in the iOS Keychain on iOS. The record holds the device model (and maker on Android), operating system version, app version (first and latest used), your device language, the language the game is shown in, and when the record was created and last used. It holds no scores or game content.
b) Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase). Screen views and these events: a game starting, ending or being abandoned (score, moves, lines cleared, combos, board clears and duration), the Daily Puzzle result, tutorial steps, settings changes, deleting your data, and that you shared a result (the shared text is not sent). Firebase also collects an app instance ID and derives an approximate location (country level) from your IP address. The app shows no ads, does not use the advertising ID (Android or iOS), and has turned off Google Analytics' collection of it.
c) Crash and error reports (Firebase Crashlytics). When the app crashes or reports an error: stack traces, the app state at the time, the game's language, basic device information (model, operating system version) and an installation identifier.
d) Performance data (Firebase Performance Monitoring). App start time, time spent on screens, CPU and memory use, device information, and your IP address, used to determine your country.
Data is encrypted in transit. We do not sell your data and do not share it with anyone other than Google acting as our processor. Retention follows the project's Firebase settings.
The app has no ads and no in-app purchases. We build no advertising profile and do not track you across other apps or websites.
Tim Blocks is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child's data was collected, write to us and we will delete it.
There is no account.
In the app: in Settings, under "Your data", tap "Delete my data" and confirm. The cloud device record (2a) is deleted; scores, stats, the saved game and Daily Puzzle progress on this device are cleared, and your settings stay. The analytics app instance ID is reset too. If the server cannot be reached, the app says so; try again once you are online. If you keep using the game, the next launch makes a new record: with a new identifier on iOS, with the same Android ID on Android.
Uninstalling: deletes all data on your device.
By email: write to timvpnsite@gmail.com. Cloud records are not tied to your name, so deleting in the app is the reliable way.
Analytics, crash and performance data are aggregated and are deleted according to Firebase's retention settings.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU/EEA, the UK or Türkiye), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your data and to object to its processing. Write to timvpnsite@gmail.com.
If this policy changes, we update the date at the top.
