Craft Blocks
Privacy Policy
The short version
- We do not collect, store, sell or share any personal data.
- No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, no third-party SDKs, no accounts.
- Your worlds and progress are saved only on your own device.
- LAN play is optional and stays on your local network — nothing is sent to us or to any server.
- Reminder notifications are optional, created on your device, and can be turned off at any time.
This Privacy Policy explains how Craft Blocks (“the game”, “the app”) handles information. “We” and “us” refer to the developer of Craft Blocks.
1. Information we collect
None. The game does not collect any personal or device information and does not send any data to us or to any server. There are no user accounts, no sign-in and no online services.
The game does not access your contacts, location, camera, microphone, photos, files or any other personal information on your device.
2. Information stored on your device
To let you continue playing, the game saves its own data locally, in the app’s private storage on your device. This includes your worlds (blocks, creatures, containers and structures), your inventory, health and experience, achievements, your player name and your settings (such as language, sound, controls and reminder preferences).
- This data never leaves your device through the game (except for the LAN play described below, and only while you use it), and we cannot see or access it.
- You can delete a world from the world list, or delete everything by clearing the app’s data in Android Settings or by uninstalling the game.
- If you have turned on Android’s device backup, Android may include the game’s local data in your personal device backup, which is managed by Google under your Google account and its privacy terms. We do not receive or have access to these backups.
3. Playing together on a local network (LAN)
The game requests Android’s network permissions only for the optional LAN feature, which lets people on the same local network (for example, the same Wi-Fi) play in one world together.
- When you open your world to LAN, the game announces the world’s name on your local network so that nearby devices can find it.
- While you play together, game data is exchanged directly between the devices on your local network: your chosen player name, your character’s position and appearance, and the world’s blocks, items and creatures.
- This data goes only to the other devices in your LAN game. It is not sent over the internet, and it is never sent to us or to any server. We do not receive, store or have access to it.
- Other players in your LAN game can see your player name. Choose a name that does not reveal personal information.
- LAN is off unless you open a world to LAN or join a LAN game, and it stops when you close the world or leave the game.
4. Notifications
The game can show optional reminder notifications, for example that a new day has begun in your world. These reminders are scheduled locally by the app on your device. They are not sent from a server, and no information is transmitted to show them.
On Android 13 and newer, the game asks for your permission before showing notifications. You can turn reminders off at any time in the game’s Settings › Reminders, or in Android Settings › Apps › Craft Blocks › Notifications.
5. Advertising, purchases and third parties
The game contains no advertising and no in-app purchases. It does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking libraries (SDKs), and it does not use an advertising ID.
Google Play, the store you download the game from, may collect information according to Google’s own privacy policy (for example, to process installations or to provide crash statistics to developers). This is outside the game and outside our control.
6. Children’s privacy
Craft Blocks is suitable for a general audience. Because the game collects no personal information from anyone, it does not collect personal information from children, including children under 13 in the United States (COPPA) or under the applicable age in the European Union and the United Kingdom (GDPR). The game contains no ads, no purchases and no chat. The only way to play with other people is LAN play with devices on the same local network, where other players can see the player name that the user has chosen. Parents or guardians with questions can contact us using the details below.
7. Your rights
Data protection laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) and the CCPA/CPRA (California) give you rights to access, correct or delete personal data held about you. Since we do not collect or hold any personal data, we have no data to provide, correct or delete. All game data stays on your device, where you remain in full control of it.
8. Security
The game’s local data is kept in the app’s private storage, which Android protects from other apps. LAN play only connects to devices on your own local network that you choose to play with.
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above. If a future version of the game were ever to collect or share any data, we would update this policy and the store listing before that version is released.
