Third-Party Services
Google AdMob
Banners and rewarded-video ads are shown to support free access. On iOS we present App Tracking Transparency consent; declining limits ads to non-personalised. On Android, the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK collects GDPR consent where applicable. Google advertising policy.
Firebase Remote Config
Remote Config delivers game-tuning parameters (e.g., difficulty curves, promotional banner content) from Firebase servers. We do not use Firebase Analytics, Firebase Performance Monitoring, or Firebase Crashlytics. However, Firebase Core is a required dependency and generates an anonymous Firebase Installation ID (FID), used by Firebase to deliver configurations to your install and to detect abuse. The FID is not linked to your personal identity. Firebase privacy and security.
In-App Purchases (IAP)
Payments are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see your card number, billing address, or payment method. Our app receives only a purchase verification token, which it uses to unlock content. Refund requests must be made directly to Apple or Google per their policies.
International Transfers
AdMob and Firebase traffic may reach Google data centres globally, including the United States, under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses (GDPR Art. 46). We do not operate a backend ourselves for Bloxel, so no data reaches servers we control. Full details in the common policy — International Data Transfers section.
Children's Privacy
Bloxel is a puzzle game suitable for a broad age range. It is not directed to children under 13 (COPPA) or 16 (GDPR Art. 8). We do not knowingly collect personal data from users below these thresholds. If you are a parent or guardian, we recommend using platform parental controls (Apple Screen Time / Google Family Link). To report inadvertent child data collection, email privacy@albooren.com; we will delete the data promptly upon verification.
Your Rights & Deletion
Uninstalling the app removes all device-local data (scores, settings, purchase flags). To reset the advertising identifier on iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android: Settings → Google → Ads → "Delete advertising ID". For full GDPR / KVKK rights see the common policy.
