Privacy Policy — Grid Blast!

Effective date: 6 July 2026 · Last updated: 6 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Grid Blast! ("the app", "we", "us") handles information when you use the app on Android. Grid Blast! is a single-player puzzle game published by Yashwanth Raj Yeedibilli.

1. Summary (the short version)

2. Data we collect directly

None. The app does not ask for or transmit your name, email address, contacts, photos, precise location, microphone, camera, or any other personal data to us.

The following data is saved locally on your device only so the game works:

DataPurposeWhere it lives
Scores, best scores, levelGameplay progressYour device only
Daily-challenge streak and daily bestDaily challenge featureYour device only
Mission progress and starsDaily missions featureYour device only
“Ads removed” purchase flagHide ads after purchaseYour device only

This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its storage in Android settings. We have no ability to access it.

3. Data collected by third parties

3.1 Google AdMob (advertising)

The app uses Google AdMob to show ads (a rewarded ad you can choose to watch, and occasional interstitial ads). When an ad is requested, Google may collect and process, as an independent controller:

How Google uses this data is described in:

3.2 Google Play Billing (purchases)

The optional “Remove Ads” purchase is processed entirely by Google Play. We receive only a confirmation that the purchase succeeded — never your card number, bank details, or billing address. See the Google Privacy Policy.

3.3 Google Play services

As with any app distributed through Google Play, Google may collect crash and diagnostic data under its own policies.

4. Consent for personalized ads (EEA, UK & Switzerland)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the app shows Google’s consent form (UMP) before serving ads. You choose whether to allow personalized ads or receive non-personalized ads only. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing the app’s storage (which re-triggers the form) or via your device’s ad settings (Section 6). Where consent is declined, only non-personalized ads (based on coarse location and current session context, not your profile) are shown.

Legal bases (GDPR): personalized ads — your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)); non-personalized ads, fraud prevention, and ad frequency capping — legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) of the ad provider.

5. Children

Grid Blast! is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction, e.g. 16 in parts of the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app’s Google Play target audience is declared as 13 and older. If you believe a child has used the app and that data was collected via the advertising SDK, contact us and we will point you to Google’s deletion mechanisms; parents can also reset or delete the device’s Advertising ID at any time (Section 6).

6. Your choices and controls

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent (GDPR — EEA/UK; CCPA/CPRA — California; DPDP Act 2023 — India; and similar laws elsewhere).

Because we hold no personal data about you, requests concerning advertising data should be directed to Google via the links in Section 3 — but you can always contact us (Section 10) and we will help you route your request. California residents: we do not “sell” personal information; ad-related data sharing with Google can be limited using the controls in Section 6. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Data retention and security

We retain no data, so there is nothing for us to secure or delete on any server. Local game data remains on your device until you delete it. Data collected by Google is retained and secured according to Google’s policies; connections to Google services are encrypted (HTTPS).

9. Changes to this policy

If the app ever changes what it collects (for example, adding online leaderboards), this policy will be updated before that change ships, with a new “Last updated” date, and — for material changes — an in-app notice.
