2. Overview

Blockbeat 808 is a game without an account of its own. We run no servers of our own and receive no data about you. Your saved game, high scores and settings (sound, vibration, design) are stored on your device. You can delete them at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it.

On Android you can turn on up to three reminders in the settings: daily tasks, weekly tasks and once after 5 days without playing. They stay off until you choose them, and Android asks for your permission first. The app schedules them only on your device and uses no push service. You can turn them off at any time in the app or in Android's settings.

In the app, personal data is processed in only two places, as described below: for ads via Google AdMob (section 3) and for the online leaderboard and the cloud backup of your progress – on Android via Google Play Games (section 4), on iPhone via Apple's Game Center and iCloud (section 4a). We use no other analytics or tracking services.

3. Advertising with Google AdMob

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

The app shows a banner and, if you choose, video ads that let you continue a lost round once or earn diamonds. For this, Google processes in particular:

• your device's advertising ID (Android: Advertising ID; iPhone: the IDFA, only if you allow tracking when Apple asks, see section 5),
• your IP address and the approximate location derived from it,
• device information such as model, operating system, language and app version,
• information about which ads were shown and tapped.

Purposes: serving and measuring ads, frequency capping, protection against fraud and abuse and – only with your consent – personalised advertising.

Legal bases: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG for accessing information on your device). Without consent, Google shows only limited, non-personalised ads where permitted; processing necessary for this, e.g. fraud prevention, is based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Google may transfer data to the USA. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses also apply.

More: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses data for advertising.

4. Google Play Games (leaderboard and cloud backup)

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

On Android devices with Google Play Games, the app signs you in automatically with your Play Games profile. The game also works without it. While you are signed in, the following is processed via Google:

• your Play Games profile (gamer name, avatar, player ID),
• your scores for the online leaderboard, together with your device's country (from your phone's region setting, not your location), so that a flag appears next to your name,
• if you agree, your Play Games friends list (gamer names only), for the “Friends” leaderboard,
• if you add friends, Google's player search and the profiles in Google Play Games; players you pick there are remembered by the app only on your device,
• a cloud backup of your progress (diamonds, unlocks, choices, high scores, statistics, tasks) in “Saved Games” of your Google account, so that it comes back after a new phone or reinstall,
• analytics and diagnostics data that Google collects for the stability of the service.

Who sees your name and scores on the leaderboard is up to you in the Google Play Games profile settings (“Everyone”, “Friends only” or “Only you”). We do not receive this data on servers of our own; it stays with Google.

Your friend code (QR code) contains your gamer name. Anyone who scans it sees this name. Without the game installed, the code opens a page on this website (section 8).

Legal bases: providing the game features you use (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in a leaderboard and backup (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); for the friends list, your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Google may transfer data to the USA (EU-US Data Privacy Framework, standard contractual clauses).

Deleting and signing out: in your Play Games profile or your Google Account, including the data of this game only. More: Google Privacy Policy.

4a. Game Center and iCloud (iPhone)

Provider: Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland (“Apple”).

On iPhone, the app uses Apple's Game Center if you are signed in there. The game also works without it. While you are signed in, the following is processed via Apple:

• your Game Center profile (gamer name, player ID),
• your scores for the online leaderboard, together with your device's country (from your phone's region setting, not your location), so that a flag appears next to your name,
• if you agree (Apple asks you), your Game Center friends list, for the “Friends” leaderboard; friend requests are sent through Apple's own window,
• a backup of your progress (as in section 4) as a saved game in your iCloud account, so that it comes back after a new phone or reinstall.

Who can see you in Game Center is up to you in your iPhone's Game Center settings. We do not receive this data on servers of our own; it stays with Apple. Legal bases as in section 4.

Signing out and deleting: in the iPhone settings under Game Center or iCloud. More: Apple's Privacy Policy.

5. Consent and withdrawal

On first launch in the EU, EEA, Switzerland and the UK, the app asks for your consent with Google's consent dialog (User Messaging Platform). You can change or withdraw your choice at any time in the app under Settings → General → “Privacy”. Withdrawal applies to the future.

On iPhone, Apple's system also asks whether the app may track you (App Tracking Transparency). Only if you allow it does Google receive your device's IDFA. You can change this at any time in the iPhone's Settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking. Without permission Google cannot use the IDFA; to measure ad success, Apple's SKAdNetwork may be used, which reports results without identifying you.

6. Google Play and App Store

The app is distributed via Google Play and Apple's App Store (including test versions via TestFlight). For downloads, updates (including the update notice in the app) and tests, Google or Apple (Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland) process data under their own responsibility, see the Google Privacy Policy and Apple's Privacy Policy.

7. Children

The app is not directed at children under 13.

8. This website

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you visit it, GitHub processes technically necessary data such as your IP address in server logs to deliver the site and protect it against attacks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If a friend code from the app is opened without the game installed, the gamer name is part of this page's address and can therefore appear in those logs. We set no cookies and use no analytics on this site. See GitHub's privacy statement.

9. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR) and may withdraw consent at any time. As we store no data about you ourselves, please contact Google directly about advertising and Google Play Games data; we are happy to help at the email address above. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

10. Changes

We update this policy when the app or legal requirements change. The version published here applies.
