Privacy Policy
This policy describes how Blockstorm ("the app") handles information on iPhone. The app is published by MuffinFluffin. Bundle ID: com.Chronic.blockstorm.
Summary
Blockstorm does not require an account. Game progress and settings stay on your device unless you use features that read files you pick or download optional music. If you are not a Premium user, Google AdMob may collect data to show ads. Purchases are handled by Apple.
Data we collect directly
- Game data. Scores, settings, save states, and layout preferences stored locally on your device.
- Photos and videos you choose. If you set a custom background video, the app reads media you select from your photo library. That media stays on your device unless you share it elsewhere yourself.
- Optional music downloads. The app may download royalty-licensed music files from our asset mirrors for in-game playback. Downloads are stored in the app sandbox.
- Diagnostics on device. Crash and trace logs may be written to the app Documents folder for debugging. We do not upload these logs automatically.
We do not operate a login server and we do not ask for your name or email inside the app.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
Free users may see interstitial ads served by Google AdMob. Google and its partners may collect and use data for advertising and measurement, including:
- Device identifiers (such as IDFA when you allow tracking on iOS)
- Advertising interaction data
- Coarse location estimated from IP address
- Crash and performance data related to the ads SDK
Google may use this data to deliver ads, limit ad frequency, and measure ad performance. Some of this data may be linked to your device and, for device identifiers, used for tracking across other companies' apps and sites as described in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt and your iOS settings.
Premium purchase or rewarded unlocks that remove ads stop new ad requests after Premium is active.

In-app purchases (Apple StoreKit)
Premium and other purchases are processed by Apple. We receive only purchase entitlement status from Apple, not your card number or billing address. Apple's privacy policy applies to payment data: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
App Store privacy label
Our App Store privacy nutrition label matches this policy. Declared collection includes coarse location, device identifiers, advertising data, and crash data from the ads SDK, as well as usage linked to your device for ads and purchases.
| Category | Declared use |
|---|---|
| Coarse Location | Third-party advertising (AdMob, IP-based) |
| Device ID | Third-party advertising, linked, tracking |
| Advertising Data | Third-party advertising, linked |
| Crash Data | Analytics (AdMob SDK diagnostics) |
Children
Blockstorm is not listed in the Kids category. Parents should review ad settings and Screen Time controls on the child's device.
Your choices
- Buy Premium to remove ads.
- Limit ad tracking in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking on iOS.
- Reset the advertising identifier in Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising.
- Deny photo library access if you do not want custom background video.
- Delete the app to remove local app data. Uninstalling removes the app sandbox.
Third-party content
The app includes licensed music and open game assets credited in the About screen. Ads may show third-party creative chosen by Google.
Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
