Block Escape is an offline sliding-block puzzle game. This policy explains what information the app handles and why. In short: the game itself collects no personal information. Your progress stays on your device unless you choose to back it up. The free app shows ads from Google AdMob, and Google may collect some device data to show and measure those ads.
The game saves the following only in local storage on your phone. It is never sent to us:
You can erase it at any time with Settings → Reset progress, by clearing the app's storage, or by uninstalling the app. If Android's own device backup is turned on, this data may be included in your Google account's device backup, under Google's control.
Backup file. Backup & restore → Export backup file saves a file with the data listed above (no advertising or device identifiers) to a place you pick with Android's file picker. The app reads a backup file only when you choose one with Import backup file, and checks it before anything is replaced.
Google Drive (optional). If you tap Back up to Google Drive or Restore from Google Drive,
Android asks you to choose a Google account and to allow access. The app then uses Google's Drive API with the
drive.appdata permission, which lets it read and write only its own backup file in a hidden app folder of your
Drive. It cannot see your other Drive files. The backup is stored in your Google account under the
Google Privacy Policy; we never receive it. You can delete it in
Google Drive (Settings → Manage apps → Block Escape → Delete hidden app data) and remove the app's access in your Google
Account → Security → Third-party connections. Normal play never needs a Google sign-in.
We (the developer) do not collect, receive or store any personal information. The game has no accounts of its own, no chat, and does not ask for your name, email address, contacts, location, photos or files. Gameplay works without an internet connection.
The app shows ads provided by Google AdMob: a banner on some menu screens, a native ad on the home and level-complete screens, an occasional full-screen ad between levels, and an occasional ad when you return to the app after a while. Ads are never shown on the puzzle screen or in the middle of a level.
To serve, personalise (where you allow it) and measure ads, and to prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Advertising ID and other device identifiers | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention |
| IP address (used to estimate approximate location) | Advertising, fraud prevention |
| Interactions with ads, diagnostics (e.g. crash and performance data of the ads SDK) | Advertising, analytics |
This data is handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy. See also how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Your choices. Where required by law (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland) the app asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown, using Google's consent tool. You can change that choice at any time under Settings → Ad privacy choices. On Android you can also reset or delete your advertising ID in the device settings.
The app requests only Internet and network-state access (used by the ads SDK and the optional Drive backup) and the advertising ID permission added by the ads SDK. It does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts, phone or storage permissions.
We do not sell or share your information. Apart from the ad data processed by Google described above and any backup you choose to make, no data leaves your device.
Block Escape is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. Ad requests are limited to content suitable for a general audience (rating PG). If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
Game data stays on your device until you reset it or uninstall the app. Backups stay where you saved them until you delete them. Ad data retention is governed by Google's policies.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
