BlockForge
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 10, 2026
PocketForge Studio ("we", "us") built the BlockForge app as a free, ad-supported game. This page explains what data BlockForge collects and how it's used. By using BlockForge you agree to the collection and use described here.
1. No accounts, no personal sign-up
BlockForge does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide your name, email, or any other personal identifier to play. There is no user-generated content and no chat or social features.
2. Data collected automatically
BlockForge uses Google AdMob to serve ads (banner, interstitial, and rewarded formats) and, where legally required (EEA/UK), Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to collect your consent before showing personalized ads. Through these SDKs, the following may be collected automatically:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Advertising ID / device identifiers | Ad delivery, frequency capping, fraud prevention |
| App interaction & diagnostic data (crashes, ad events) | Analytics, ad performance |
| Approximate location (country/region, from IP) | Ad relevance & regulatory consent (e.g. EEA detection) |
This data is collected by Google, not by us directly. See Google's own policy for details: policies.google.com/privacy and AdMob's data disclosure at support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543.
3. Data stored on your device
Your best score, selected theme, and sound preference are stored locally on your device (Android SharedPreferences). This data never leaves your device and is deleted automatically when you uninstall the app.
4. Data sharing
We do not sell your data. Data described in Section 2 is shared only with Google (our ad network) for the purpose of serving and measuring ads, under Google's own privacy terms.
5. Children's privacy
BlockForge is rated for general audiences (PEGI 3 / Everyone) and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will address it.
6. Your choices
- EEA/UK users can change their ad-consent choice at any time via the in-app consent prompt (shown again if you reset app data).
- You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your device's system settings (Settings → Google → Ads).
- Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data (best score, theme, sound setting).

7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
