Bloom Blocks
Privacy Policy
The short version. We run no servers and have no accounts, so we never receive your game data. The game shows ads from Google AdMob, and Google collects some device information to deliver and measure those ads. On iPhone and iPad your advertising identifier is shared only if you allow tracking.
1. What the game stores
Your scores, petals, unlocked themes, achievements, settings, daily streak and any game in progress are saved in the app's local storage on your device. This data is never sent to us. Uninstalling the app, or choosing "Reset all progress" in Settings, deletes it.
We do not ask for your name, email address, contacts, photos, microphone, camera or precise location.
2. Advertising
Bloom Blocks is free and supported by ads provided by Google AdMob. There are two kinds: reward videos that you choose to watch, and short ads that may appear between games. To deliver, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google's advertising software in the app may collect:
| Data | Used for |
|---|---|
| Advertising identifier (IDFA on Apple devices, advertising ID on Android) | Showing and measuring ads. Personalised ads only where you have allowed it. |
| IP address, which indicates your approximate region | Choosing ads that can legally and sensibly be shown where you are. |
| Device and app information, such as model, system version and language | Formatting ads correctly and detecting invalid activity. |
| Ad interactions, such as views and taps | Measuring ad performance and capping how often an ad repeats. |
| Diagnostics, such as crash and performance data from the ads software | Keeping ad delivery reliable. |
This information goes directly from your device to Google. We do not receive a copy that identifies you. Google explains its practices in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and in its Privacy Policy.
3. Your choices
- Tracking on iPhone and iPad. The first time you open the game, iOS asks whether Bloom Blocks may track your activity. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", your advertising identifier is not shared and ads are not personalised using it. You can change this in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- Advertising ID on Android. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings > Privacy > Ads.
- Consent in Europe and the UK. Where the law requires it, the game asks for your consent before showing personalised ads, and a "Privacy choices" button in Settings lets you change your answer.
- Remove Ads. A one-time purchase removes the ads between games. Optional reward videos remain available, so Google's advertising software stays in the app.
4. Purchases
The optional Remove Ads purchase is processed by Apple or Google. We never see your payment details. The app only learns whether the purchase exists, so that it can turn the ads off and restore your purchase on a new device.
5. Sharing your score
If you tap Share, the app passes a short text containing your score to your device's share sheet. It goes only to the app or person you choose.
6. Children
Bloom Blocks is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Ads are requested with a general-audience content rating. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help.
7. Keeping and deleting data
We hold no personal data about you, so there is nothing for us to delete. Game data lives on your device and is removed when you uninstall the app. For data held by Google, use the controls described in Google's policies above.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, and to object to certain uses. Because we do not hold your data, requests about advertising data are best directed to Google. You can always contact us and we will help where we can.
9. Changes
If the way the app handles data changes, we will update this page and its effective date before the change reaches you.
