Privacy Policy of John Macharia Kariuki
Effective Date: Aug 31, 2026
Introduction
John Macharia Kariuki operates the Block Puzzle mobile application, which provides a free-to-play, offline puzzle game. This Privacy Policy outlines our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our game, specifically relating to the third-party advertising networks we use to keep the game free.
Information We Collect
We do not ask for or collect personally identifiable information such as your Name, Email address, Phone number, or Address. However, our game uses third-party advertising services (such as Unity Ads) which may automatically collect certain Device Data to serve you relevant ads. This data may include: ● Your device's Internet Protocol address (IP address) ● Mobile advertising IDs (e.g., Google Ad ID) ● Device type, operating system version, and general usage data (e.g., crashes or session length).
How We Use Your Information
Because we do not collect personal contact information, the anonymous device data collected by our third-party partners is strictly used to: ● Provide and maintain the game ● Display relevant advertising to keep the game free ● Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or game crashes ● Analyze general gameplay statistics to improve future updates.
Retention of Data
Game progress (such as your high scores and level progress) is saved locally directly on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. Any anonymous usage or advertising data collected by third-party services is retained by them only for as long as is necessary to provide their services, in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
Transfer of Data
Your information, specifically the anonymous advertising identifiers, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, or country. Third-party partners (such as Unity Technologies) process this data on their global secure servers. By playing the game, you consent to this standard industry practice.
Disclosure of Data
We may disclose anonymous data if we are involved in a merger or asset sale. Furthermore, John Macharia Kariuki and our third-party partners may disclose data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: ● Comply with a legal obligation ● Protect and defend the rights or property of the developer ● Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the game.
Security of Data
The security of your data is important to us. All transmission of advertising identifiers is protected by industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS). While no method of electronic transmission is 100% secure, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your experience and ensure a safe gaming environment.
Links to Other Sites & Third Parties
Our Service contains integrated third-party SDKs, specifically Unity Ads, to serve advertisements. Clicking on an ad will direct you to that third party's site or app store page. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of Unity Ads (https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy) and any sites you visit. We have no control over the privacy practices of any third-party services.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "effective date" at the top of this Privacy Policy webpage. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
