This Privacy Policy explains how chocolatePixels (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you play our mobile game Combo Block (the “Game”). We are fully committed to complying with the Google Play Families Policy and providing a safe experience for players of all ages, including children.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide: Signing in with Google is optional. If you choose to sign in, we receive your Google public profile information (name, email, profile picture). In the Game, we use only your nickname (never your real name) for gameplay, leaderboards, and profile display. We also store your high scores.
Information Collected Automatically: We collect gameplay data, device information (model, OS), usage analytics, and your device’s Advertising ID. We also receive general region information (such as country/locale) from service providers or device settings, which we use to show regional and global leaderboards. We do not collect precise or approximate location.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate and improve the Game, sync your progress, display leaderboards, analyze gameplay, and serve personalized or non-personalized ads. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal information to any third parties beyond the services listed below, and only for operating the Game.

3. Third-Party Services

We use Google Firebase (authentication, database, analytics) and Google AdMob (advertisements). The Game is marked as Mixed Audience in AdMob, which ensures age-appropriate ads for all users, including families. For users identified as children, ads are served as non-personalized ads (NPA) in compliance with the Google Play Families Policy. These services follow the Google Privacy Policy .

4. Data Retention and Security

We retain data only as long as needed for the Game to function and to meet legal requirements. We apply reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or misuse. We do not collect phone numbers, contacts, messages, microphone data, photos, or any sensitive information.

6. Children’s Privacy

The Game is suitable for all ages. In compliance with the Google Play Families Policy, we do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal information from children under 13.
