Privacy Policy
Popwise games: Chain Blocks, Sort Loop, Slide Out · Last updated: 15 November 2026
This policy explains what data is processed when you play a Popwise game, who processes it and what choices you have. The games are published by Pedro Lobo, Portugal ("we"). Contact: privacy@popwisegames.com.
Summary
- You do not need an account. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number.
- Your progress, scores and settings are stored on your device only.
- The games are free and show ads. Our advertising partner, Google, processes device and usage data to deliver and measure those ads.
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time in the game settings.
Data stored on your device
Game progress (levels, best scores, unfinished rounds), settings (sound, vibration), a tutorial flag and the date you first opened the game. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the game or clear its data.
Data processed by our advertising partner
The games include the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) and Google's User Messaging Platform for consent. Google acts as an independent controller or as our processor, depending on the service.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Advertising ID (Android Advertising ID or Apple IDFA, when permitted) | Showing ads, limiting how often you see the same ad, measuring ad performance, preventing fraud |
| IP address and approximate location derived from it | Selecting ads for your country or region, security |
| Device information (model, operating system, language, screen size) | Displaying ads correctly, diagnostics |
| Ad interactions (ads shown, viewed and tapped) | Measuring ad performance, paying publishers |
| Consent choices | Remembering and honouring your privacy choices |
How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
Legal bases (EEA and UK)
- Consent for personalised advertising and for storing or reading advertising identifiers on your device.
- Legitimate interests for non-personalised ads, basic measurement, fraud prevention and keeping the games working.
Your choices
- Change consent: open the game, tap the gear icon and choose "Privacy choices" (shown where consent is required).
- Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads lets you reset or delete your advertising ID.
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking lets you allow or refuse tracking for each app.
- Play without ads being loaded: the games work offline.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Because we do not hold data that identifies you, most requests are best exercised through the device settings above or directly with Google. You can also contact us at privacy@popwisegames.com, and you may lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in Portugal, the CNPD).
Children
Popwise games are intended for a general audience aged 18 and over and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
International transfers
Google may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or on standard contractual clauses.
Retention
We do not keep personal data on our own systems. Data stored on your device remains until you uninstall the game. Google's retention periods are described in its privacy policy.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when the games or our partners change. The date at the top shows the latest version.
