Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Big Blue Blocks! This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is handled when you visit our website or play our mobile application (the "Service").

Our core philosophy is privacy-first. We built this game so that you can play without cross-app user tracking. To support our service, we display advertisements within the application.

2. Data Collection and Usage

We do not collect any personal info (like your name or email) in the Big Blue Blocks app. Any data used is kept minimal, as detailed below:

• No User Tracking: We do not track your activity across other apps or websites. The application does not use or request Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission or tracking.
• No Analytics: We do not track your gameplay, screen views, or sessions using third-party tracking tools.
• No Accounts: You do not need to register or log in to play the game.
• Local Notifications: The game sends reminders and high score alerts directly through your device. These are handled entirely on your phone and do not use external servers. You can turn them off anytime in the game's settings or your phone settings.
• Local Storage: Your settings, levels, and high scores are saved only on your phone. We never send this data to external servers.
• Diagnostics & Performance Logs: Standard crash reports and performance data (such as app launch times, diagnostics, and crash logs) are collected by app stores (Apple App Store / Google Play) to help us identify and fix performance issues and maintain application stability.
• Ads (Google AdMob): We show banner advertisements in the game using Google AdMob. Ads served within Big Blue Blocks operate without cross-app user tracking:
  • Basic details about your device and contextual information are processed to ensure ads load properly, securely, and to prevent fraud.
  • General location (estimated based on IP address) may be used to deliver contextually relevant ads for your region.

3. Third-Party Services

We work with trusted platforms that have their own policies for handling data:

• App Stores: When downloading the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, those platforms may collect standard details like download counts and crash reports.
• Google Ads Policy: For more details on how Google manages info, you can read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
• Privacy Choices: Because Big Blue Blocks does not engage in cross-app tracking, the app does not request tracking authorization. You can also manage general device privacy preferences anytime within your device settings:
  • iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security to manage system-wide privacy choices.
  • Android: Go to Settings > Privacy > Ads to manage advertising preferences on your device.

4. Website Privacy

If you visit our website, your web browser may automatically share certain routing information (such as your IP address or browser type) with our hosting provider to serve the site securely. However, the website itself uses no tracking cookies, marketing pixels, or user tracking scripts.

5. Your Privacy Rights

Because we do not collect or store any personal information about you, there is no personal data for us to export, update, or delete. If you wish to delete your game data, you can do so at any time by simply uninstalling the application or clearing its local storage via your device settings.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy notice from time to time if the features of the game evolve. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
