Pup Blast Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-16

Pup Blast ("the game") is made by an independent developer ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game uses and why. If you have questions, email pupblastsupport@gmail.com.

The short version

• You don't need an account, and we don't run any servers. We don't collect your personal information.
• The game sends anonymous gameplay statistics (like which levels players finish) through TelemetryDeck, so we can make the game better. They can't be linked to you.
• Your game progress is saved on your device.
• The game shows ads through Google AdMob, which collects some device information to show and measure ads, as described below.
• Leaderboards use Apple Game Center, and the Remove Ads purchase uses Apple's App Store. Apple handles those under its own privacy policy.

Information stored on your device

Your progress (levels, stars, pups, bones and settings) is stored on your device so you can keep playing. It never leaves your device and is not sent to us. Deleting the app deletes this data.

Anonymous gameplay statistics (TelemetryDeck)

To find out which levels are too hard and which features players use, the game sends anonymous statistics to TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service based in Germany. For example: "a level was finished with 2 stars", "a dig found a Rare pup", "an ad for a bonus dig was watched", along with the app version and how many days ago the game was installed.

The game creates a random ID when it's first opened and scrambles (hashes) it before sending, so the statistics can't be connected to your name, your device's advertising ID, or any other app. TelemetryDeck does not store IP addresses, and the statistics are not used for advertising or shared with anyone.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The game is free and supported by ads from Google AdMob. To show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud and measure results, Google may collect:

• device identifiers, including the advertising identifier (IDFA) if you allow tracking;
• approximate location derived from your IP address;
• information about how you interact with ads;
• diagnostic information such as crashes and performance.

Tracking permission: iOS asks whether the game may track you across other companies' apps and websites. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", Google does not receive your advertising identifier, and you will still see ads, but they will be less personalized.

Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland and some US states): where the law requires it, the game shows Google's consent form before any ads load. You can change your choices any time from the game's menu → Privacy choices.

Google's use of this information is described in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and in "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services": https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

If you buy Remove Ads, the game stops showing ads between games. Optional reward ads (which you choose to watch for bonuses) stay available.

Game Center

If you are signed in to Game Center, the game sends your scores to Apple's Game Center leaderboards, where other players can see them alongside your Game Center nickname. Game Center is operated by Apple under Apple's privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

In-app purchases

The Remove Ads purchase is processed entirely by Apple. We never receive your payment details. The game only checks with Apple whether you own Remove Ads.

Children

The game is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the game, contact us and we will help.

Your choices

• Turn off tracking: iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• Change ad consent: the game's menu → Privacy choices.
• Remove all game data: delete the app.
• Questions or requests: email pupblastsupport@gmail.com.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
