Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information the Flux Blocks mobile game
(Android and iOS com.abusaada.fluxblocks; on the App Store as "Flux Blocks: Neon
Puzzle"; "the app") collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. It applies to
the Android and iOS versions of the app.
1. Who we are
Flux Blocks is developed and published by Abu Sa'da ("we", "us"). You can contact us about this policy or your data at the address in section 12.
2. Information we do not collect
- We do not operate user accounts and do not ask for your name, email address, phone number or postal address.
- We do not request access to your precise location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos.
- We do not run analytics of our own, and we do not keep any information about you on servers of our own.
- We do not sell your personal information.
3. Information stored only on your device
Your current game (the board, the pieces and the score), your best score, the colour theme, your sound and vibration settings, your ad privacy choice and whether you have bought "Remove Ads" are saved on your device. This information is not sent to us. It is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data.
4. Information collected by third-party services
The app uses the services below. They may automatically collect information from your device when you use the app. They act under their own privacy policies, linked below.
| Service | Purpose | Information it may collect |
|---|---|---|
| Unity LevelPlay Unity Technologies |
Choosing which ad network shows an ad, measuring ad performance, preventing fraud | Advertising ID, device model and operating system, app version, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, mobile carrier, time zone, ad interactions |
| Ad networks that compete through LevelPlay ironSource Ads and Unity Ads (Unity Technologies) |
Showing an ad when the app requests one, measuring ad performance, preventing fraud | Advertising ID, device model and operating system, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, ad interactions |

If we add another ad network, we will list it here before the app starts using it.
Their privacy policies:
- Unity, LevelPlay and Unity Ads: unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy
- ironSource Ads (Unity): unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
- Google: policies.google.com/privacy
- Apple: apple.com/legal/privacy
5. Advertising and your consent
The app is free and supported by ads. Ads appear only between games and, if you choose to watch one, to continue a game that has ended ("Continue"). The app never shows ads while you are placing pieces.
Before any ad is requested, the app asks for your choice:
- Android: the first time you open the app, an "Ad Privacy" message asks whether our ad partners may use your device's ad data to show ads that fit your interests.
- iOS: Apple's "Allow to track" message asks the same question. If you do not allow tracking, the app does not access your device's advertising identifier.
If you choose non-personalised ads, the app tells the ad networks that you have not consented to personalised advertising and that you opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information. You will still see ads, but they will not be personalised using your information.
Changing your choice: pause the game and tap Ad Privacy. The new choice applies to the ads requested from then on.
You can also limit ad tracking for all apps from your device settings:
- Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads → delete or reset your advertising ID.
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Buying "Remove Ads" stops the ads between games. The optional "Continue" ads stay available, and are only shown when you choose to watch one.
6. Children
Flux Blocks is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
7. How long information is kept
Information stored on your device is kept until you uninstall the app or clear its data. Information collected by the third-party services in section 4 is retained according to their own policies and settings.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Residents of California and other US states may have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising.
Because the app has no accounts, we do not hold information that identifies you by name. Most information is held by the providers in section 4, and the quickest way to control it is through the choices in section 5. For anything else, contact us using the address below and we will respond within the time required by law.
9. Deleting your data
Flux Blocks, by Mahmoud Abu Sa'da, has no accounts, so there is no account to delete. This is how to delete the information the app and its services hold:
- Your game data on your device (your game, best score and settings): uninstall Flux Blocks, or open your phone's Settings → Apps → Flux Blocks → Storage → Clear storage. It is deleted at once. A "Remove Ads" purchase is not lost: Google Play gives it back the next time you open the app, and on iOS you can tap Restore Purchases in the app's No Ads screen.
- Advertising data: delete or reset your device's advertising ID (see section 5). The ad networks in section 4 then can no longer link new information to what they collected before. To ask a network to delete what it holds, use its privacy policy linked in section 4.
- Anything else: email us at abusaada.apps@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my Flux Blocks data". We will reply within 30 days and delete any information we hold that can be linked to you.
What is kept: we do not keep your information on servers of our own. Purchase records are kept by Google Play or Apple as their own policies require.
10. Security and international transfers
Information collected by the third-party services is sent over encrypted connections. These providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States, under the safeguards described in their policies.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Significant changes will be reflected in the app's store listing.
