Privacy Policy

Hush Blocks ("the app") is an iOS application developed by Filippo Carboni, an individual developer based in Italy ("we", "us"). You can reach us at filo@filippocarboni.it.

• We don't ask you to sign up. We don't want your email, name, or any identifying information.
• Game progress (score, best score, games played) is stored only on your device.
• We show occasional rewarded ads via Google AdMob — only when you tap "Continue" on game over.
• AdMob may collect your iOS Advertising Identifier (IDFA) if you grant permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can change your mind any time in iOS Settings.

The following are stored locally in iOS UserDefaults and never leave your device:

• Best score
• Total games played
• Total score across all games
• Total play duration
• Total pieces placed

Deleting the app erases this data. We have no copy and no way to recover it.

When you tap the "Continue" button on the game over screen, the app shows a rewarded video ad served by Google AdMob.

What Google may receive when an ad is requested:

• Your IP address and rough geographic location (country/region)
• Device type, iOS version, and language
• The fact that you watched (or skipped) an ad
• Your IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) — but only if you tap "Allow" on Apple's tracking prompt. If you tap "Ask App Not to Track", ads are still shown but in a non-personalized (contextual) form, without your IDFA.

Google's use of this data is governed by their own policies. We don't store any of it ourselves. Reports we see in the AdMob dashboard are aggregated and contain no information about individual users.

Apple's SKAdNetwork is also used to attribute ad performance in a privacy-preserving way (no user-level data — only aggregated install reports).

Hush Blocks is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app, please contact us and we'll be happy to help (though there is no account or stored data on our side to remove).

If you open the app from the EU, the EEA, or the UK, the first launch shows a Google-certified consent form (Google User Messaging Platform, based on the IAB TCF v2 framework). It asks whether our advertising partners may process your personal data — for example to show personalized ads, measure ad performance, or build audience profiles. You can grant consent, refuse, or fine-tune by purpose and vendor.

You can change your choice any time from inside the app:

1. Open Hush Blocks
2. Tap the gear icon to open Settings
3. Under Privacy, tap Manage privacy preferences

Outside the EU/EEA/UK this form does not appear and ads are served under the legitimate-interest basis allowed in those jurisdictions, subject to ATT (below).

You can withdraw iOS tracking consent (ATT) at any time:

1. Open iOS Settings
2. Scroll to Hush Blocks
3. Toggle Allow Tracking

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port any personal data we hold about you. As noted above, we do not hold any on our servers — everything is on your device or with Google AdMob under their terms. For requests about AdMob data, please contact Google directly. For anything else, write to us at filo@filippocarboni.it.

If we change this policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted in the app or here on this page.
