PRIVACY POLICY
1. Introduction
Welcome to Block Blast Unlimited. We respect the privacy of our players and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your data when you install and play our free-to-play mobile block puzzle game.
By downloading or playing Block Blast Unlimited, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy. If you do not agree with any portion of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue gameplay and uninstall the application from your device.
2. Information We Collect
We do not require you to provide traditional personal information (such as your full legal name, telephone number, or home address) to enjoy the game. However, to operate score-keeping services and keep gameplay fair, we collect the following limited details:
- Device Identifiers (UUID): A secure, locally generated Universally Unique Identifier is assigned to your device when the application is launched. This ID acts as your account credentials for submitting high scores to global boards.
- User-Submitted Nicknames: Players have the option to set a custom gameplay nickname. This nickname is chosen entirely by the user and is not connected to your real-world identity. We recommend avoiding real names.
- Gameplay & Score Data: We collect game completion logs, scores, combo sequences, and timestamp statistics. This data is transmitted to calculate global placements and determine daily, monthly, and all-time boards.
- Local Caching: Progression, setting preferences (e.g., sound toggles, screen optimization FX), and current local high scores are cached locally on your physical device using native platform structures (such as SharedPreferences on Android).
3. In-App Purchases (IAP) & Billing
Block Blast Unlimited offers virtual coins for purchase inside the Coin Store. All financial checkout procedures and store transactions are processed securely through Appleās App Store or Google Play Store billing APIs.
The developers of Block Blast Unlimited never collect, see, or store your billing details. We do not have access to credit card numbers, card expiration dates, bank accounts, or physical mailing addresses. All purchasing processes are handled exclusively by your respective mobile operating system vendor.
4. How We Use Your Information
We utilize the limited information gathered to deliver a stable, secure, and competitive gameplay experience. Specifically, your data is used to:
- Maintain, refresh, and display scores on the daily, monthly, and all-time global ranking boards.
- Implement client-server security checks. To ensure high scores are legitimate, we validate score submissions against gameplay data using secure signature hashes (SHA-256), preventing score manipulation and unauthorized cheating.
- Troubleshoot technical issues, optimize frame rates, and improve software stability.
5. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We value player privacy and maintain strict policies regarding third parties:
- No Commercial Selling: We do not sell, rent, trade, or distribute your player data to marketers, advertisers, or other commercial third parties.
- Server Validation: Gameplay scores and nicknames are securely uploaded to our game servers for the sole purpose of leaderboard verification and storage. No third party has access to these secure directories.
6. Data Retention, Security & Deletion
We deploy standard security protocols to ensure all score transmission payloads are encrypted. We retain leaderboard score records as long as they are active on our servers.
We believe in putting players in control of their data. You can manage your records using the following tools:
- Local Score Reset: You can clear your local progression, high score history, and preferences at any time. Simply navigate to the in-game Settings menu and select "Reset High Score".
- Leaderboard Score Deletion: If you wish to request the deletion of your historical submitted scores and nickname from our global leaderboard databases, please contact our support team using the placeholder instructions below.
7. Children's Privacy
Block Blast Unlimited is designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. Because user account nicknames are optional and self-selected, we strongly advise parents and guardians to instruct children never to use their real names or disclose personal information when selecting game nicknames.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will delete such data from our servers as quickly as possible.
8. Changes to This Policy & Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our mobile game services or legal obligations. We will indicate modifications by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document.
