Privacy Policy: BrickBox
This policy explains what data the Android game BrickBox: Retro Brick Games(package com.brightbyte.brickbox), published by Bright Byte, collects and how it is used.
No account, no personal details
The game has no sign-up or login. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or location.
Your progress stays on your device
The following are stored only on your phone:
- your scores, best scores, unlocked levels and Daily Challenge streak
- your points balance
- your settings (sound, vibration, reduce motion, console era, block style and theme)
- a record of the items you bought, so they stay unlocked
This data is never sent to us. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data removes it. If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include it in your device backup, which is handled by Google under its own policy.
Sharing your score
When you tap Share, the game opens your phone's share menu with a short message (your best score and a link to the game on Google Play). Nothing is sent unless you choose an app and send it yourself. The app you pick handles the message under its own policy. Sharing does not earn any reward.
Data collected by third-party services
The game uses the following Google services. They may collect some data automatically:
| Service | Data | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (ads) | Advertising ID, IP address (used for approximate location), device and app information, ad interactions | Showing ads, measuring ad performance, preventing fraud |
| Google User Messaging Platform | Your ad consent choices | Asking for and storing consent where the law requires it |
| Firebase Analytics | App interactions (games and levels started and finished, screens), app instance ID, device model, OS version, approximate location (from IP) | Understanding how the game is played so we can improve it |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash logs and diagnostics (device model, OS version, stack traces) | Finding and fixing crashes |
| Google Play (in-app updates) | App version and device information | Offering updates to the game |
| Google Play Billing | Purchase history for BrickBox items | Processing purchases and restoring the items you bought |
This data is sent over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. Google processes it under its own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
Your scores, points and settings are never sent to these services.
Ads and your choices
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown and before analytics data is used (Google UMP and Google consent mode). Until you choose, ad and analytics storage stay off. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy options.
- You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings: Settings > Google > Ads (or Settings > Privacy > Ads, depending on your device).
- Ads shown in the game are limited to content suitable for general audiences.
- Video ads play only when you choose to watch one (for example, to get points or continue a run).
- Buying Remove Ads (or the Everything bundle) removes all ads.
Permissions
The game does not ask for any runtime permission. It uses only normal permissions that Android grants at install:
- Internet and network state: to load ads, send analytics and crash reports, and talk to Google Play for purchases and updates
- Advertising ID (AD_ID): used by the ads SDK
- Google Play Billing: for in-app purchases
- Vibrate: for the optional key-press vibration
Purchases
In-app purchases (console eras, extra levels, game modes, block styles, point packs and Remove Ads) are handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details. Every item shows exactly what you get; there are no random rewards.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Data deletion
We do not hold an account or a personal profile for you. To delete the data stored on your device, uninstall the game or clear its data in Android settings. To ask about data processed by Google services, contact us at the email below.
Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date above shows the latest version.
