Wobblock privacy policy
Wobblock is a puzzle game for iPhone and Android, made by Nikita Vorontsov in the United Kingdom. This page explains what data the game uses, why, and what you can do about it. You do not need an account to play, and the game never asks for your name, email address or contacts.
What stays on your phone
Your progress, stars, boosters and settings, and the level you were part-way through, are saved on your device so you can carry on where you left off. They are not sent to us. Deleting the app deletes them.
What leaves your phone, and why
| Purpose | Who | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Showing ads, which keep the game free | Google AdMob | Your device's advertising identifier, IP address (from which a rough location is worked out), device type and settings, and how you interact with ads. |
| Checking a purchase, such as "Remove ads" | RevenueCat, together with Apple or Google | An anonymous ID created by the app and the details of the purchase. Payment card details stay with Apple or Google and are never shared with us. |
| Understanding how levels play, to fix ones that are too hard or too easy | GameAnalytics | Anonymous game events (a level started, won or failed, how long it took), your device model, operating system, country and an anonymous ID. In the EU, the EEA and Switzerland the game asks first, and sends nothing unless you choose Share. Everywhere else it is on to start with. You can switch it off at any time in the game's Settings, under "Share anonymous play data". When it is off, nothing more is sent. |
We do not sell your data, and we do not combine it with data about you from elsewhere.
Personalised ads and your choices
- In the UK and Europe, the game asks for your consent before showing personalised ads. If you say no, you still see ads, but they are not based on your activity.
- On iPhone, the game asks whether it may track you across other companies' apps. If you say no, AdMob does not receive your advertising identifier.
- You can change these choices at any time in your phone's settings, and on Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID.
- Buying "Remove ads" stops the ads that play between levels. Ads you choose to watch for a reward stay available.
Children
Wobblock is not made for children under 13 and is not marketed to them. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used the game and want their data removed, contact us and we will help.
How long data is kept
Data on your phone stays until you delete the app. The services above keep data for the periods set out in their own policies: Google, RevenueCat and GameAnalytics.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see the personal data held about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to its use, or restrict it. Because the game does not ask who you are, the simplest way to remove your data is to delete the app and reset your advertising ID. For anything else, write to us at contact@char-gen.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Deleting your data
Wobblock does not ask who you are, so most of your data never leaves your phone. To delete what there is:
- Your progress and settings are on your phone. Uninstalling Wobblock deletes them.
- Play statistics (GameAnalytics): switch off "Share anonymous play data" in the game's Settings to stop new data. To have past data deleted, email us at contact@char-gen.com with the subject "Wobblock data deletion". We ask GameAnalytics to delete it and reply within 30 days.
- Advertising data (Google AdMob): reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings, under Google, then Ads.
- The "Remove ads" purchase is kept by Google Play and RevenueCat as a purchase record, as the law requires for transactions. You can ask us to delete the RevenueCat record by email; the purchase itself then cannot be restored.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date. Significant changes will also be shown in the game.
