Privacy Policy

Shikaku Blocks (“we”, “our”, or “the App”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Shikaku Blocks, why it is collected, how it may be used, and the choices available to you.

1. Information You Provide

Shikaku Blocks does not require you to create an account, provide your name, email address, phone number, or other personal information in order to play.

If you contact us for support, we may receive information you voluntarily provide, such as your email address, device information, screenshots, or details about an issue you are experiencing. We use this information only to respond to your request and provide support.

2. Game Data Stored on Your Device

Shikaku Blocks stores certain game-related information locally on your device, which may include:

• Level progress
• Current game state
• Hint balance
• Game settings and preferences
• Tutorial status

This information is used to provide the core functionality of the game and is not intentionally transmitted to our own servers.

Deleting the App may remove locally stored game data unless it is restored through functionality provided by your device or operating system.

3. Analytics

Shikaku Blocks uses GameAnalytics to help us understand how the game is used and improve the gameplay experience.

GameAnalytics may process technical and usage information such as:

• App version and build
• Device model
• Operating system version
• Session information
• Gameplay progression events
• Use of certain game features
• Connection information
• Pseudonymous or randomly generated identifiers
• Device identifiers made available by the operating system

We use analytics to understand matters such as level progression, gameplay difficulty, feature usage, retention, and general app performance.

Shikaku Blocks does not require access to Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) for GameAnalytics to function. When advertising tracking permission is unavailable, GameAnalytics may use a randomly generated identifier or other permitted identifiers in accordance with its own privacy practices.

GameAnalytics processes information according to its own privacy policy and data protection terms.

4. Advertising

Shikaku Blocks uses Google AdMob, provided by Google, to display advertisements.

The App currently uses rewarded advertisements, which users may voluntarily choose to watch in exchange for certain in-game benefits.

Google Mobile Ads may automatically collect or process information such as:

• IP address
• Device identifiers
• Advertising-related information
• User interactions with advertisements
• App and device information
• Crash logs
• Diagnostic information
• Performance information

The exact information processed may depend on your device, region, privacy choices, advertising settings, and applicable law.

Google may use this information to provide, measure, secure, and improve advertising services and, where permitted, to personalize advertising.

Google processes this information under its own privacy policies and terms.

5. Advertising Consent and Privacy Choices

Where required by applicable law, including in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Shikaku Blocks uses Google's consent management tools to request and manage advertising-related privacy choices.

Depending on your region, you may be given options regarding the collection and use of information for advertising purposes, including personalized advertising.

Where available or legally required, you may review or change your advertising privacy choices through the privacy options provided within the App.

Withdrawing or refusing consent does not prevent you from playing Shikaku Blocks, although the advertisements you receive and the technologies used to provide them may differ.

6. App Tracking Transparency

Shikaku Blocks does not currently request permission to access Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) through Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission prompt.

Third-party services may still process other information permitted by iOS and applicable privacy settings.

If our use of tracking technologies changes in the future, this Privacy Policy and the App's privacy disclosures will be updated accordingly.

7. Third-Party Services

Shikaku Blocks currently uses third-party services including:

• Google AdMob — advertising
• Google User Messaging Platform — advertising consent and privacy choices
• GameAnalytics — gameplay analytics and app usage measurement

These providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies and may process information independently in accordance with applicable law.

We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by these services for additional details about their data practices.

8. Data Sharing

We do not directly sell your personal information.

Information may be processed by third-party service providers used to operate, analyze, monetize, secure, or improve Shikaku Blocks, including the services described in this Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, legal processes, regulatory requirements, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the App, or others.

9. Data Retention

Game data stored locally on your device remains there until it is changed, reset, or deleted through use of the App or removal of the App.

Information processed by third-party providers is retained according to their respective retention policies and applicable legal requirements.

Support communications may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve your request, maintain appropriate records, or comply with legal obligations.

10. International Data Transfers

Third-party services used by Shikaku Blocks may process information in countries other than the country in which you live.

Where required, these providers are responsible for implementing appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to personal information
• Request correction or deletion
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Request data portability where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Some information used by Shikaku Blocks' third-party providers may be pseudonymous and may not be directly identifiable by us.

If you have a privacy-related request, contact us at the email address below. We will assist with requests that relate to information under our control and, where appropriate, provide information regarding requests involving our service providers.

12. Children's Privacy

Shikaku Blocks is a general-audience puzzle game and is not specifically directed to children.

We do not knowingly ask children to provide personal information directly to us.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information directly to us, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

13. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information associated with Shikaku Blocks.

However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. External Content and Advertisements

Advertisements displayed through Shikaku Blocks may direct you to third-party websites, applications, or services.

We do not control the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party services reached through advertisements or external links.

Your interaction with those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when Shikaku Blocks' features, third-party services, legal requirements, or data practices change.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
