Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 23, 2026 | Last Updated: February 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Drop & Merge: 2048 Blocks ("we", "our", or "the App") handles information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

1. Information We Collect

Our App is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal data:

Locally Stored Data: Game progress, high scores, and user preferences are stored locally on your device using SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device.
No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information (PII).
No Account Required: The App does not require registration or login.

2. Sound Effect Files

The App may download small, royalty-free sound effect files from the internet on first launch to enhance your gaming experience. These files are cached locally on your device. No personal data is transmitted during this process.

3. Advertising

The App may display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks in future updates. If ads are integrated, those third-party services may collect certain information as described in their respective privacy policies. We will update this policy accordingly when ad SDKs are implemented.

Currently, the App contains ad placeholders only and does not serve real advertisements.

4. Third-Party Services

The App does not currently integrate any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs. If this changes in a future update, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect those changes.

5. Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). The App is a casual puzzle game suitable for all ages and does not require any personal data to function.

6. Data Security

All game data is stored locally on your device. We do not operate servers that store your personal information. Your game progress and settings remain entirely on your device.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

You can clear all App data through your device's Settings > Apps > Drop & Merge: 2048 Blocks > Clear Data.
Uninstalling the App will permanently delete all locally stored data.

8. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal data on our servers, there is no personal data for us to access, modify, or delete. All your game data is under your control on your device.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the App or on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
