BlockRank Privacy Policy

BlockRank is published by Nexera Apps LLC. You can contact us at hello@nexeraapps.com. This policy applies to the game and support requests about it.

You can play without supplying an email address or password. When online services start, Firebase Authentication creates a player identifier, initially anonymous. On supported platforms, a platform game account can be linked to restore the same ranking across installations and devices. Android platform-account linking is not enabled in version 1.2.5.

We process scores, game duration, move counts, a random game seed and the move log used to verify scores and operate global and weekly rankings. Version 1.2.5 shows automatic player names and offers no custom nickname or message entry. Versions that support chosen nicknames display those names publicly and allow nickname editing; player messages remain disabled in the new client. Earlier versions may still display legacy player names and messages; those records remain subject to the deletion options below. Nickname reports record the reporting and reported player identifiers, a server-recorded name snapshot, review status and timestamps. Reports are private to authorized reviewers. New clients record the name-policy version and acceptance time when submitting a nickname. Player blocks are saved on the device for the active account. In-game data deletion also deletes reports involving the current player. Game settings and local progress are also saved on your device.

Firebase services process technical identifiers and device/app information to operate authentication, cloud storage, functions, configuration, app verification and crash reporting. Crash reports and performance diagnostics help us investigate bugs and invalid score submissions.

If you allow notifications, Firebase Cloud Messaging processes a notification token and notification preferences. You can change notification permission in your device settings. Support messages and any email address or attachments you send are used to respond to your request.

BlockRank uses Google AdMob and Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP). The advertising SDK may process IP-derived approximate location, device or advertising identifiers, ad/app interactions and diagnostics to deliver and measure ads and prevent fraud. We do not request GPS access for advertising.

In version 1.2.5, ad requests depend on the UMP SDK’s eligibility result. Where required, a consent message lets you make privacy choices and Settings shows “Ad privacy choices” to revisit them. On iOS, the system tracking permission is requested before ad initialization when ad requests are eligible; declining does not authorize tracking across other companies’ apps and websites.

Google describes its data handling at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543. Device privacy settings also let you manage advertising identifiers and permissions.

Apple App Store or Google Play processes any supported purchase and its restoration. The game stores the entitlement indicating that Remove Ads is owned; we do not receive your payment card details. Version 1.2.5 hides the new purchase interface and still handles restoration of existing entitlements. Remove Ads stops banner and interstitial ads; an optional rewarded continuation can remain available.

We use Google Firebase for online game services and diagnostics, Google AdMob/UMP for advertising and privacy choices, and Apple/Google platform services where applicable. These providers process data for the services described above. Leaderboard scores and displayed player names, including chosen nicknames in supported versions, are visible to other players. Earlier app versions may also show legacy user-supplied names and messages.

Providers may process information in countries other than yours. Their policies and applicable safeguards govern that processing. Advertising-related transfers may be treated as sharing under some privacy laws; use available consent and device controls or contact us to make a request. We may also disclose information when required by applicable law.

Use Settings > Delete my data to request deletion of the current player’s cloud profile, ranking, nickname reservation, game history and Firebase Authentication account, and to clear local game data. Cloud deletion needs a working internet connection; a failed request can be retried. Uninstalling BlockRank alone does not delete cloud records.

For a privacy or deletion request outside the app, email hello@nexeraapps.com with “BlockRank privacy request”. Explain the request and, if available, your player nickname or other non-sensitive information that helps locate the profile. Never send passwords or payment card details. We may need information to verify that the request concerns your profile.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, object to or restrict processing, receive a copy, or withdraw consent. Contact us to make a request.

Online ranking and game data is retained to operate the service until it is deleted or no longer needed. Support and service-provider diagnostic records follow their applicable operational and retention processes. Deleting in-game data does not erase payment records held by the app marketplace or independently retained provider records.

We use platform security controls and encrypted service connections. No service can guarantee perfect security. Do not send sensitive information in support requests or through any older version’s public player fields.

BlockRank’s current Google Play target audience is players aged 13 and over. A store content rating describes content suitability and is separate from this intended audience. The app does not verify a player’s age. If you believe a child’s personal information has been provided to us, contact hello@nexeraapps.com so we can review the request.

We may update this policy as the game or its services change. This page shows the latest update date. You can contact hello@nexeraapps.com with questions.
