Block Exploder Master Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

This policy explains what data the Block Exploder Master game ("the game"; package name games.gamsiz.blockexploder) processes, and how and why. The game is developed by Yusuf GAMSIZ and published on Google Play under the developer name GAMSIZ. This policy applies to the Android version of the game.

If you are in Türkiye, details on the processing of your personal data are in the KVKK Privacy Notice (KVKK is Türkiye's Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data; Türkçe).

In short

• The game does not ask for your name, email or an account, and it has no in-app purchases.
• Your game progress, settings and statistics are stored only on your device and are never sent to us.
• The game is free and supported by ads. Ads are served by Google AdMob, and to do this Google collects data such as your advertising ID and IP address from your device.
• The game itself does not connect to the internet and has no analytics or crash-reporting tools. Only the Google ads library built into the game and the consent library that comes with it connect to the internet.

Data that stays on your device

The game stores the following only on your device, in the storage Android reserves for the game:

• your current game, scores and best scores,
• your settings (language, board, difficulty, theme, look, sound, music, vibration and effects),
• your game statistics (for example the date, difficulty and score of the games you played),
• the game's own counters (for example when the game was first opened, when the last full-screen ad was shown and how many games have been played and boards cleared since then, when and how many times the store rating card was requested, and when the game last noticed the effects stuttering on this device; when it does, the game uses simpler effects for the next 30 days),
• in Türkiye, the fact that you have read the first-launch notice,
• theme textures generated on your device so that the game opens faster.

This data is not sent to us or anyone else, and we cannot see it. It is also excluded from Google backups and phone-to-phone transfers. It is deleted when you uninstall the game or clear its app data.

To decide whether the first-launch notice must be shown and whether to request only non-personalized ads from Google, the game checks, on your device at every launch, the country of the SIM card in your device; if there is no SIM card, the country of the mobile network you are connected to; if that is not available either, your device's region setting; and if that is not set either, its language setting. If this country is Türkiye (or, when only the language can be checked, the language is Turkish), the game treats you as a player in Türkiye. The country itself is not stored and is not sent anywhere; for a player in Türkiye, a "non-personalized ads" flag is added to ad requests.

Ads and Google AdMob

The game has two kinds of ads: a full-screen interstitial ad shown at the end of some games, and an optional rewarded ad that you choose to watch (in return, the piece you picked joins your pieces).

Ads are served by Google's AdMob service. For advertising (showing and measuring ads), analytics and fraud prevention, the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google's ads library) built into the game collects the following data from your device and sends it to Google:

• IP address: may also be used to estimate your device's approximate location (for example your city);
• device identifiers: the advertising ID, the app set ID (used for analytics and fraud prevention, not to personalize or measure ads) and, where applicable, other identifiers related to accounts signed in on the device;
• app interactions: app launches, taps, video views and the ads shown;
• diagnostics: performance information such as launch time, hang rate and energy usage, and error logs of the ads library;
• technical information: information such as device model, operating system version and language setting, so that ads display properly on your device.

At every launch, Google's consent library that comes with the ads library (User Messaging Platform) also asks Google whether a consent form must be shown for ads in your region; this sends your IP address to Google.

When ads are served, Google and its ad partners may use device identifiers, the IP address, and cookies and similar records that the ads library writes to the game's storage, to collect this information.

Google processes this data under its own privacy policy as an independent controller. Besides showing ads, it may use the data for its own purposes, such as providing, protecting and improving its services. To show ads, it may share some of this data with advertisers and ad partners. Details: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, Google's privacy information for its business and ads products and the Google Privacy Policy.

We do not receive this data. In AdMob we only see aggregated ad reports that do not identify you (for example the number of impressions and earnings).

The game's own code does not read the advertising ID or the app set ID; only Google's ads library uses them. The game and the ads library in it are subject to Google Play's rules. Under these rules, the advertising ID may be used only for advertising and user analytics, the choice to opt out of ad personalization must be respected, and a reset ID must not be linked to the previous one; the app set ID may be used for purposes such as analytics and fraud prevention, but not to personalize or measure ads.

Personalized ads

• European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland: on first launch the game shows Google's consent form, and ads are personalized only according to your choice. The form also lists the ad technology partners that may receive data besides Google. Your choices are stored on your device and sent with ad requests; you can change them at any time under "Privacy options" in the game's Settings. Details are in the European section below.
• Türkiye: if the game treats you as a player in Türkiye (how it decides is described above), the ads library does not start until you tap "I have read and understood" on the short notice shown on first launch, and the game requests only non-personalized ads from Google; ads are not chosen based on your interests.
• Other countries: if your device's ad settings allow it, Google may personalize ads based on your interests.
• Non-personalized ads are chosen based on information such as the game's content and your general region (for example your city). Google may still use the advertising ID and IP address for these ads to limit how often an ad is shown, to measure ads and to prevent fraud.

Your choices

• You can reset or delete your Google advertising ID in your device settings (depending on the device, Settings > Google > All services > Ads or Settings > Privacy > Ads; on some phones the ID under Privacy belongs to the phone maker, and the game's ads use the Google advertising ID). If you delete it, apps see only zeros instead of an ID, and ads are no longer based on it.
• If you have a Google Account, you can manage Google's ad personalization in My Ad Center.
• In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland: Settings > Privacy options in the game.

Rating card

After you have played for a while, the game may ask Google Play to open its own rating card. Google Play shows the card and receives your rating and review directly, and handles them under its own rules. The game cannot see whether the card was shown, what rating you gave or what you wrote. Your review is shown publicly on Google Play, and you can delete it there.

Google Play and your device

When you download the game from Google Play, Google Play's own terms and privacy policy also apply. If you allowed your device to share usage and diagnostics information, Android and Google Play services may send information such as app crashes to Google. From this, Google shows us information that does not identify you: aggregated statistics (for example the number of installs and the crash rate) and technical details of individual crash reports (for example the error trace).

What we don't collect

The game does not collect your name, email, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, files, or camera or microphone data, and does not ask for permission to access them.

Security

Game data on your device stays in the area Android reserves for this game only; other apps cannot read it. The Google ads library sends the data it collects over an encrypted connection (TLS).

Retention and deletion

We have no servers. We keep no records about you, except the emails you send us (see If you write to us). Game data on your device stays until you uninstall the game or clear its app data. Data collected by Google is kept for the periods set out in the Google Privacy Policy; according to Google, ad-serving logs are anonymized by removing part of the IP address after 9 months and cookie information after 18 months (How Google uses data in advertising). If you reset your advertising ID, a new ID is created.

For players in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland

In these regions your data is processed on the following legal bases:

• Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)): personalized ads (including personalization based on the IP address) and storing and reading information on your device for ads (for example the advertising ID) follow the choice you make in Google's consent form. Non-personalized ads also need your consent to storing and reading information on your device. If you do not give that consent, Google shows only "limited ads": they are not personalized, and identifiers on your device are not used for targeting, frequency capping or measurement. The IP address is still used to deliver the ad, and Google may still store and read information on your device, but only to detect invalid traffic and fraud. You can withdraw your consent at any time under Settings > Privacy options in the game; withdrawing does not affect the lawfulness of processing before it.
• Legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)): choosing non-personalized ads based on the game's content and your general region, measuring ad performance, analyzing how the ads library works and, for every ad including limited ads, delivering the ad securely and detecting fraud and invalid traffic. Our interests are to offer the game for free through ad revenue and to prevent abuse; Google's interest is to deliver ads securely and to prevent fraud.
• Rewarded ads: a rewarded ad you choose to watch is requested from Google in the same way as other ads, so the two bases above and your choice in Google's consent form apply to it; the piece you get in return is recorded only on your device.

Your right to object: you can object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests. In the game, open Settings > Privacy options, go to "Manage options", switch off the purposes listed under legitimate interest and confirm your choices. Security, fraud prevention and the technical delivery of an ad cannot be switched off there, because an ad cannot be shown safely without them; you can also object by writing to us.

Google processes this data in the United States and may also process it in the other countries where it has data centers (Locations of Google data centers). For these transfers Google states that it relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, its UK Extension for the United Kingdom, the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for Switzerland, and standard contractual clauses where these do not apply: Google's page on international data transfers.

Providing data is not a statutory or contractual requirement: you can play the game even if you do not give consent or if you delete your advertising ID. We do not make automated decisions that have legal effects on you; Google uses automated systems to choose which ad to show.

Children

The game is not directed at children under 13; its target audience is 13 and older. The game itself does not ask anyone for personal information. If you believe that data of a child under 13 has been processed in connection with the game, please write to us.

In the European Economic Area, the age from which you can give consent on your own depends on your country and is between 13 and 16 (for example 16 in Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland). If you are younger than that, only a parent can give consent for you in Google's consent form: ask a parent, or do not consent.

Your rights

• Türkiye: your rights under Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data and how to exercise them are set out in the KVKK Privacy Notice.
• European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland: you have the right to access your data; to have it rectified or erased, or its processing restricted; to object to its processing (see Your right to object); to receive your data to move it to another service (data portability); and to withdraw your consent. You can complain to us, and you can also complain to your local data protection authority (in the United Kingdom the Information Commission, formerly the ICO; in Switzerland the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner).
• Because we keep no ad data about you, the fastest way to handle requests about ad data is the choices above and Google's own privacy tools; you can still write to us and we will help.

If you write to us

If you email us (for example with a question, a request about your rights or a complaint), we use your email address and your message only to reply and to handle your request. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the legal bases are our legitimate interest in answering you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) and, for requests about your rights and complaints, our legal obligations (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)). We keep this correspondence until your request is closed and for one year after that, so that we can show how we handled it, and then delete it. Our email address is a Gmail account, so Google stores these messages, also on servers outside your country, for example in the United States. If you are in Türkiye, see also the KVKK Privacy Notice for this correspondence.

Changes

If we update this policy, we will publish the new text on this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top.
