Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 28, 2026

Shadow Blocks ("the app", "we") is a block puzzle game made by an independent developer. This page explains what happens to your information when you play it, in plain language.

1. Information we do not collect

There is no sign-up and no login. Shadow Blocks never asks for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, or access to your camera or microphone. We don't run a server that receives your gameplay.

2. What's stored, and where

Your progress (solved levels, stars, hints, purchases you've unlocked) and your settings (sound, music, vibration, language) are saved only on your device, in the app's own storage. We never receive a copy. Uninstalling the app, or using "Reset progress" in Settings, removes it.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version shows banner, interstitial and optional rewarded video ads (for example, to earn free hints) through Google AdMob. To serve, cap and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect:

• a device advertising identifier (on iOS, only if you allow tracking; see below),
• your IP address and the approximate location derived from it,
• device and app information (model, OS version, language, app version),
• ad interactions (which ads were shown or tapped), and
• diagnostic data such as crash and performance information from the ad SDK.

You can learn how Google uses this information at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Tracking choice on iOS: on iOS 14.5 and later the app asks for permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before the advertising identifier is used. If you decline, you still see ads, but they are not personalized using that identifier. You can change this any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.

Buying the Full Version turns off all ads.

4. In-app purchases

The Full Version is sold through Apple's App Store or Google Play. Payments are handled entirely by Apple or Google; we never see or store your payment details. The app only learns whether a purchase succeeded, so it can unlock what you bought.

5. Analytics

Shadow Blocks does not include its own analytics or crash-reporting software. If that ever changes, this policy will be updated first and will say exactly what was added and what it collects.

6. Children's privacy

Shadow Blocks is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Your choices

• Decline or turn off tracking (iOS) or reset your advertising ID (Android).
• Buy the Full Version to stop all ads.
• Delete your progress with "Reset progress" in Settings, or by uninstalling the app.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change too, and any change that affects what data is collected will be described plainly.
