Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Block Shatter - Classic Grid is a mobile puzzle game developed by Mark Calugay. This policy explains how the app and the Block Shatter website handle information when you play, use optional platform services, view ads, visit the website, or contact support.

Information You Provide

The app does not require a Block Shatter account, email address, phone number, or payment information to play. If you contact support, you may choose to provide contact details and information about your issue. We use that information to respond to and administer your request.

Local Game Data

The app may save gameplay values on your device, such as high score, settings, and local progress. This data helps the game work between play sessions. It is stored locally unless a future feature clearly states otherwise.

Optional Platform Services

Supported Android builds integrate with Google Play Games for player identity and global leaderboard features. Google may authenticate through the Google account configured for Play Games and provide the game with platform identifiers, a display name, and leaderboard data needed to operate those features. Local play remains available when Play Games is signed out, offline, or unavailable.

Advertising

Advertising depends on the installed version. Android builds using Unity LevelPlay offer optional rewarded and interstitial contextual ads from Unity Ads and ironSource. Before starting those advertising SDKs, the game asks for your region, age range and permission to access and store device information and process your IP address, device or advertising identifiers, ad activity and diagnostics for ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention. Personalized advertising is disabled in this release, and sale/sharing opt-out signals are set. Meta and AdMob are excluded from this LevelPlay release's ad delivery. See Unity's privacy policy for its processing and advertising partners.

You may decline and continue playing without ads. Settings > Privacy Choices lets you change your decision. Declining stops new ad requests; if an advertising SDK already started during that session, restart the game to finish stopping it. Your choice, region category, age range, policy version and choice date are stored locally. Choices expire after 180 days or a policy-version change. This is a custom consent flow, not an IAB TCF or Google-certified CMP.

Other installed versions may use Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and configured mediation partners, which may process device identifiers, advertising data, app interactions and diagnostics. Those versions use Google's User Messaging Platform where a consent or privacy message is available.

App Analytics

Optional Google Analytics for Firebase collection is disabled in the Android contextual-ad release. Other versions use Firebase to measure app usage and gameplay events such as sessions, game mode, placements, line clears, progression and ad lifecycle events. Those versions do not send a custom account profile or support-email content as analytics event data; Firebase and the operating system may also provide app, device and diagnostic information associated with an app instance.

Website Analytics

The Block Shatter website uses Vercel Web Analytics to collect aggregated page-view information such as the visited path, referrer, approximate location, browser, operating system, and device type. It also uses Vercel Speed Insights to measure real-world website performance, including loading, responsiveness, and visual-stability metrics. Vercel states that Web Analytics does not use cookies and does not associate these analytics with an individual or store an IP address in the analytics dataset.

Children

The selected target audience is ages 13 and older. In the first Android LevelPlay release, advertising is available from age 13 in the United States, 16 in the EEA/UK, and 18 elsewhere. These are conservative release availability limits, not a statement of every jurisdiction's legal consent age. Players outside those limits, or who do not provide an eligible age range and region, can play without advertising SDK initialization. The game does not collect exact dates of birth or implement parental-consent verification. If you believe a child provided information through support, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Data Retention

Local gameplay data remains on your device until you delete the app, clear the app data, or reset the relevant setting. Support messages are kept only as long as needed to handle the request, maintain records, or comply with legal obligations.

Your Choices

• You can delete local game data by removing the app from your device.
• You can revisit available ad-consent choices from the game's Settings screen and manage ad tracking or personalization in your device settings where supported.
• You can disconnect or manage Google Play Games through your Google account and device settings.
• You can contact support to ask about information you provided through a support request.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated when the app changes, when legal requirements change, or when third-party services change. The updated date at the top of this page will show when the policy was last revised.
