Privacy Policy

Block King · Novera Studio · Last updated: October 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Novera Studio (“we”, “us”) collects and uses information in the mobile game Block King (package com.blockking.game).

1. Information we collect

• Gameplay data on device — scores, progress, settings, and mid-run saves stored locally on your device.
• Leaderboard profile — when the game starts, Google Firebase Authentication gives your installation an anonymous user identifier (no email, no sign-up). Your leaderboard entries are stored in Google Cloud Firestore (servers in Frankfurt, Germany) under that identifier: your nickname, your scores (Endless best, Time Attack bests, Journey stars and weekly league totals) and the time of the last update. Your nickname and scores are shown to other players on the in-game leaderboards. The nickname is generated automatically (for example “SwiftFox42”), taken from your Google Play Games gamer tag, or chosen by you; nicknames pass a profanity filter.
• Optional Google Play Games — if you sign in, Google processes your Play Games profile, leaderboard scores and cloud save according to Google’s policies. While signed in we also store your Play Games player identifier with your leaderboard entries and link your anonymous identifier to your Play Games account, so that reinstalling the game keeps one leaderboard entry instead of creating a new one. Your game progress (level scores, bests, boosters, rewards claimed) is saved to your own Google Play Games cloud save. Scores that were visible on the public Google Play Games leaderboards of Block King may appear on our leaderboards with the public name shown there.
• Advertising identifiers — used by Google AdMob to show ads (including rewarded and interstitial ads). In countries where Google AdMob does not serve ads (currently Russia and Belarus), ads are shown by Yandex Mobile Ads instead; it processes the advertising identifier, device and app information, the IP address and ad interactions, and uses Yandex AppMetrica for its ad statistics. To choose the ad network, the game reads on your device the country of your mobile network and SIM card, your device region, language and time zone; these values are used only for that choice and are not sent to us.
• Analytics & diagnostics — Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics may collect app events, device/app info, and crash logs to improve stability.
• Notifications — weekly league reminders are scheduled on your device by the game itself; no notification data is sent to us. You can turn them off in the game or in your device settings.

2. How we use information

• Operate and improve the game
• Show the in-game leaderboards and the weekly league
• Back up your progress (Google Play Games cloud save, if you sign in)
• Show ads and measure ad performance
• Analyze usage and fix crashes

We do not sell your information. Leaderboard data is processed by Google Firebase as our service provider.

3. Third-party services

We use Google services (and, in Russia and Belarus, Yandex advertising services) that may process data under their own policies:

• Google Privacy Policy
• AdMob
• Yandex Privacy Policy (Yandex Mobile Ads and AppMetrica, Russia and Belarus only)
• Firebase
• Google Play Games Services

4. Consent (EEA / UK and similar regions)

Where required, we use Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request consent for personalized ads and related processing; the same choice is passed to Yandex Mobile Ads where it serves the ads. You can change choices via in-app privacy options when available, or through your device ad settings.

5. Data retention & deletion

Local game data stays on your device until you clear app data or uninstall. Uninstalling removes local saves. Leaderboard entries in our Firebase leaderboards (nickname, scores, identifiers) are kept while the game is operated; weekly league boards are kept per week. To have your leaderboard entries and identifiers deleted, follow the Account & Data Deletion page. Leaderboard scores and cloud saves in Google Play Games are managed by Google and can be managed in your Google account. All data is transferred over encrypted connections.

6. Children

Block King is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
