PRIVACY POLICY FOR BLOCK PUZZLES
Effective date: October 4, 2026
Vagabond Games Collective (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Block Puzzles mobile game (the “Game”). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Game.
INFORMATION HANDLED BY THE GAME
Block Puzzles stores game progress, points, settings, and personal play statistics locally on your device so the Game can function. We do not operate our own account system or server for this locally stored information.
If you choose to use the rankings feature, Google Play Games Services may process your Google Play Games profile and leaderboard score to provide sign-in and leaderboard functionality. This information is handled by Google under Google’s privacy policies.
ANALYTICS
Block Puzzles uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the Game is used and to improve gameplay.
Firebase Analytics may process information such as:
App launches and sessions
Gameplay interactions and events
Games started, completed, failed, skipped, or reset
Use of gameplay features such as Undo
Scores, engagement time, and session duration
App version
Device model and operating-system information
Approximate geographic information
Device or advertising identifiers where available
We use aggregated analytics to understand daily, weekly, and monthly active users, player retention, game popularity, gameplay outcomes, engagement, app-version adoption, and advertising campaign performance.
We do not send player names, email addresses, Google Play Games IDs, board contents, or other directly identifying gameplay information to Firebase Analytics.
ADVERTISING
The Game uses Google AdMob to display banner and interstitial advertisements. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share information for advertising, measurement, and fraud prevention. This may include:
IP address, which may estimate general location
App interactions such as launches, taps, and ad views
Diagnostic information such as app performance
Device or account identifiers, including the Android advertising ID and app set ID where available
Advertising-related information is encrypted in transit. Google may use this information to deliver, measure, limit, personalize where permitted, and protect advertising.
Users in regions where consent is required may be shown Google’s privacy and consent choices. Players can review or change applicable privacy choices using the Privacy button inside Block Puzzles.
