Introduction

Carmela ("us", "we", or "our") built the Stack Block Puzzle application (the "App") as a free, ad-supported application. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users ("you", "your") about our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information for anyone who uses our App.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

Stack Block Puzzle does not directly collect, store, or transmit any personal information from its users. All game-related data, including your high scores, game settings, and preferences, is stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences or DataStore. This data is never sent to any external server and remains entirely on your device.

However, the App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third-party service providers for more information on how they handle your data.

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services:

1. Google AdMob

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the App. AdMob may collect and process certain information, including but not limited to:

- Device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID)

- IP address

- Device information (model, operating system version)

- General app usage data and ad interaction data

AdMob may use this information to serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements depending on your consent preferences. For more information, please review Google's Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting your device's Settings > Google > Ads and enabling "Opt out of Ads Personalization."

Log Data

In the event of an error or crash in the App, we may collect log data through third-party services on your device. This Log Data may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the App at the time of the error, the time and date of your use of the App, and other diagnostic statistics.

This data is used solely for the purpose of identifying and resolving technical issues to improve the App's performance and stability.

The App itself does not explicitly use cookies. However, third-party services integrated into the App, such as Google AdMob, may use cookies or similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to collect information and improve their services.

Cookies are small data files commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. They are sent to your device from websites or services you interact with and are stored on your device's internal storage.

You have the option to accept or refuse cookies through your device settings. Please note that if you choose to refuse cookies, some features of third-party services may not function as intended.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals for the following reasons:

- To facilitate the delivery of our App

- To provide services on our behalf (such as advertising)

- To assist us in analyzing how our App is used

These third parties may have access to certain information collected through their services. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any purpose other than those for which it was provided.

Security

We value your trust in using our App and strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting any information that may be collected through third-party services. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any data.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information through the App or its third-party services, we will take steps to promptly delete such information.

Links to Other Sites

The App may contain links to external websites or services that are not operated by us. These links may be presented through advertisements served by Google AdMob or other in-app content. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site or service.

We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every external site or service you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. Changes will also be made available within the App.
