Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data the mobile game Gridwit: Zen Block Puzzle ("Gridwit", "the game", "we") collects, why, and what choices you have. Gridwit is made by Goran Boljat, an independent developer based in Co. Cork, Ireland, who is the data controller for the game. Contact: support@gridwit.app.
1. The short version
- Gridwit has no accounts and never asks for your name, email or contacts.
- Your progress, coins and settings are stored on your phone.
- We use Google AdMob to show ads, Unity Analytics to understand how the game is played, and Google Play Billing for purchases.
- In the EU, UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent before personalised ads or analytics are used.
- We do not sell your personal data.
2. Data stored on your device
Game progress, scores, coins, unlocked items, achievements, daily streaks and settings (sound, language) are saved locally on your phone. We cannot see this data. It is deleted when you uninstall the game or clear its data.
3. Data collected by services we use
| Service | What it collects | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd) | Advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, ad interactions, approximate location derived from IP | To show ads, measure them, prevent fraud and, where you have agreed, personalise them |
| Google User Messaging Platform | Your consent choices | To ask for and remember your privacy choices |
| Unity Analytics (Unity Technologies) | A random installation ID, device model, operating system, country, and game events (for example: game started, game ended, score, mode, time played, ad shown, item bought) | To understand how the game is played, fix problems and improve balance |
| Google Play Billing | Purchase details. Payment details are handled by Google and never shared with us | To process and restore the "No Ads" purchase |
These providers process data under their own privacy policies: Google, how Google uses data from partner apps, Unity.
4. Legal basis (EU/UK players)
We rely on your consent for personalised ads and for analytics. You give or refuse it in the message shown when you first open the game. We rely on our legitimate interest for non-personalised ads, fraud prevention and keeping the game working, and on contract for processing purchases.
5. Your choices
- Change consent: open Settings in the game and choose the privacy options to change your ad and analytics choices at any time.
- Advertising ID: reset or delete it in your phone's settings (Google → Ads).
- Remove ads: the one-time "No Ads" purchase removes forced ads. Optional rewarded videos stay available if you want them.
- Delete data: uninstall the game to delete local data. Email us with the subject "Delete my data" to request deletion of analytics data linked to your device.
6. Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct, delete or move your personal data, object to or restrict its processing, and withdraw consent at any time. Email support@gridwit.app. You can also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie) or your local authority.
7. Retention
Local game data stays on your phone until you delete it. Analytics data is kept by Unity for up to 25 months and then deleted or anonymised. Advertising data is kept by Google according to its own policies.
8. International transfers
Google and Unity may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. They use safeguards approved by the European Commission, such as Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
9. Children
Gridwit is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the game and data was collected, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
Data sent to our providers travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). We do not run our own servers that store player data.
11. Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Important changes will also be announced in the game.
