The short version

Block Bender! sends anonymous statistics about how the game is played so we can improve it. We do not collect your name, email address, advertising ID or any permanent player or device ID. You can turn this off at any time in Settings.

What the game sends

• Gameplay: level, game mode, result, time played, moves, score, rows cleared, treasure found and use of Bomb and Freeze.
• In-game economy: in-game gold and diamond balances, power stock and purchases made with in-game currency.
• Screens and choices: tutorial progress and what you choose on the results screen.
• Session summary: session length, attempts, and approximate ranges such as days since install and time since your last session.
• Technical: app version, operating system type, frame rate, loading time and an approximate memory size.

Each launch uses a new random session code that is not saved on your device. Two sessions cannot be connected on our server. Times are rounded to the hour.

What the game does not collect

Name, email, contacts, location, photos, advertising ID, a permanent player or device ID, device model or language.

IP addresses

Your device's IP address is necessary to deliver data over the internet. Our web server uses it briefly in memory to limit abuse. It is not written to our logs and is not stored with gameplay data.

Why we use this data

To balance difficulty, find where players get stuck, fix performance problems and decide what to improve. We do not use it for advertising and we do not sell it.

What stays on your device

Your progress, settings and in-game wallet are stored on your device. The game also keeps a small local record, including its install date and session count, and only sends approximate ranges from it. Statistics waiting to be sent are queued on your device.

How long we keep it

Original records are kept for up to 30 days and analysis data for up to 400 days, then deleted.

Your choices

Turn off Settings → Usage data to stop sending statistics and delete anything still waiting on your device. Uninstalling the game removes its local data. Because the data has no identifier, we cannot find or delete the records of one specific player.

Third parties

Statistics go only to our own server. The game does not currently include advertising or third-party analytics services. We will update this page before that changes.
