Privacy Policy for Hello Tetris
This Privacy Policy explains how Hello Tetris (“the App”) handles information. The App is a single-player puzzle game. It is designed to work without an account and without sending your gameplay data to our servers.
1. Information we collect
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or payment details.
The App stores the following information only on your device:
- Game scores — timestamps and points from your games, saved in a local text file so you can view them in Settings.
- Language preference — the interface language you choose in Settings.
- Best score — your highest score, stored locally so it can be shown on the game screen.
This information stays on the device. We do not operate a backend that receives your scores or language setting.
2. How this information is used
- To show your score history and best score in the App.
- To remember the language you selected.
- To provide the game’s features.
We do not sell your information. We do not use your scores for advertising profiles.
3. Internet access and advertising
The App requests the Android Internet permission. A banner area is reserved at the top of the screen for advertising (Google AdSense or similar Google advertising). If ads are displayed:
- Google and its advertising partners may collect device and usage information, such as IP address, device identifiers, and data about ad views and clicks, in accordance with Google’s own policies.
- Google’s advertising systems may use cookies or similar technologies.
Please read Google’s policies here:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
If no ad is filled in a given session, the banner space may appear empty. Internet permission may still be present so ads can load when they are configured.
4. Google Play
When you download or update the App from Google Play, Google processes installation and device information under Google Play’s terms and privacy policy. We do not control Google Play’s data practices.
5. Device backups
Android may include the App’s local files (such as scores and language) in device backups if backup is enabled on your phone. Those backups are managed by your device and, where applicable, by Google.
6. Children
Hello Tetris includes sudden scare images and horror-themed artwork. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us using the details below and we will delete it if we hold it.
7. Data retention and deletion
Local scores and settings remain on your device until you clear the App’s storage or uninstall the App. Uninstalling Hello Tetris removes the App’s local files from the device, except where a backup copy exists on the device or in a cloud backup.
Because we do not host your scores on our servers, we cannot remotely delete data that exists only on your phone.
8. Data sharing
We do not share your locally stored scores or language preference with third parties.
Advertising partners (if ads are shown) and platform providers (Google Play, Android) may process information as described in their policies. We do not sell personal information.
9. Security
Scores and settings are stored in the App’s private storage on the device. No method of storage is completely secure. Please keep your device locked and up to date.
10. International users
The App may be used in different countries. Local score and language data remain on the device. If advertising is served by Google, Google may process related data in the United States or other countries as described in Google’s privacy policy.
11. Your choices
- You can change the language in Settings at any time.
- You can stop playing and uninstall the App to remove local game data from the device.
- You can limit ads or advertising personalization in your device or Google account settings, where those controls are available.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App’s features or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
