Block 89 - Privacy Statement
Block 89 is a puzzle game made by Willem Middelkoop, published by dsd 164 B.V. in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
This privacy statement exists not because there is much to disclose, but because I believe you deserve to know exactly what happens when you play my game. The short answer: nothing.
What I collect
Nothing.
Block 89 does not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal data. There are no accounts, no registration, no email addresses, no usernames, and no passwords. Your high scores and game progress are stored locally on your device and never leave it.
What I deliberately chose not to do
I made a number of conscious decisions during the development of Block 89:
- No advertising. There are no ads in the game. There are no ad networks, no ad SDKs, and no advertising identifiers.
- No tracking. There is no analytics, no event logging, no session recording, and no behavioural profiling. I have no idea how often you play, how long your sessions are, or what level you reach.
- No third-party SDKs. The game does not include any code from third parties that could collect data on my behalf or theirs.
- No network access required. Block 89 works entirely offline. The game does not connect to the internet during gameplay. There are no servers involved.
- No identifier collection. I do not access your device's advertising identifier (IDFA/GAID), hardware identifiers, or any other unique identifiers.
- No in-app purchases. There are no transactions, which means there is no payment data to handle.
- No social features. There are no leaderboards, friend lists, or social logins that could expose your identity or activity to others.
GIF replay sharing
Block 89 can generate a GIF replay of your game. When you choose to share this replay, the sharing is handled entirely by your device's operating system. The GIF is created locally and shared through the standard share sheet. I am not involved in this process and do not receive a copy.
Children
Because Block 89 collects no data whatsoever, there are no special considerations for children's privacy. The game is safe for players of all ages.
App Store and Google Play
When you download Block 89, Apple or Google may collect information as described in their own privacy policies. This is outside my control and unrelated to the game itself.
Changes
If this statement ever needs to change, the updated version will be published here. Given that the game collects nothing, I do not anticipate this happening.
