Privacy Policy for Squishy Blast Town: Pop Puzzle

Effective date: November 10, 2026

Developer: Golden Hive Games

Contact: goldenhivegames@gmail.com

Android package: com.goldenhivegames.squishpop

This policy explains what information is handled when you play Squishy Blast Town: Pop Puzzle (the "Game") on Android.

1. Summary

• The Game has no accounts, sign-in or chat. We (the developer) do not collect personal information through our own game servers. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to send, as described below. We don't run servers for the Game.
• Your game progress (levels, stars, coins, settings) is saved only on your device.
• The Game shows ads through Google AdMob. Google collects some device data to show and measure ads, as described below.

2. Information stored on your device

The Game saves your progress and settings locally using Android's app storage. This includes:

• levels completed, stars and best scores
• coins and boosters
• town buildings
• daily reward, streak, event and pass progress
• unlocked friends, outfits, titles and sticker album
• settings (music, sound effects, vibration, colour-blind shapes)
• ad timing and daily reward-ad limits (stored on your device only)

This data never leaves your device through us. The Game keeps Android's backup feature turned on so your progress can survive a phone change: if backup is enabled on your device, Android may include the Game's saved progress in your device backup stored in your Google account, and restore it when you reinstall the Game or set up a new phone. We (the developer) cannot see or access that backup; it is handled by Google under your Google account settings and Google's privacy policy. You can turn device backup off in your Android settings (usually Settings > System > Backup; wording varies by device). Uninstalling the Game or clearing its storage deletes the copy on your device; a copy in your Google backup is managed by Google.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

We use the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to show rewarded videos, which you choose to watch, and full-screen interstitial ads after level wins (no banner ads). According to Google (https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure), the SDK automatically collects and shares the following for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention:

• IP address, which may be used to estimate your device's approximate location;
• App interactions, such as app launches, taps and ad/video views;
• Diagnostic information, such as app launch time, hang rate and energy use;
• Device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID and app set ID.

Google states this data is encrypted in transit (TLS). Google processes it under its own policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. We don't receive your advertising ID or any of this data in an identifiable form. AdMob gives us only aggregated reports, such as impressions and earnings.

Your choices:

• You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in Android Settings > Privacy > Ads (wording varies by device).
• Ads may be limited or non-personalized depending on your consent and region.

4. Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland and other regions where required)

• Where the law requires it, the Game shows Google's consent message (the User Messaging Platform) before personalized ads load. You can accept, reject or manage choices.
• Where Google's consent tool requires it for your region, a "Privacy options" button appears in the Game's Settings (the gear icon on the home screen). Tap it to review or change your choices at any time. Available consent messages and controls depend on your region. Contact us if you need help accessing these controls.
• Ads are requested only when UMP indicates that ads may be requested.
• If you decline, the Game still works fully. Ads may be non-personalized or limited.
• US state privacy laws: where applicable, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. Use available privacy controls or contact us for assistance.

5. Information we do not collect

We don't ask for or collect:

• your name, email, phone number or contacts
• photos or files
• precise GPS location
• payment information

The Game has no in-app purchases, no social features and no user-to-user communication. If you email us, we will use your email address and message only to reply, and we retain them only as long as needed to respond, resolve your request and meet applicable legal obligations, then delete them. You may ask us at any time to delete emails you have sent us. Because the Game itself sends us no data and has no accounts, there is no other data held by us to delete; to remove your game progress, see section 7.

6. Children

• The Game is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13.
• We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
• We have set our ad requests to a maximum ad content rating of PG.
• If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the Game in a way that sent personal information to us, contact goldenhivegames@gmail.com. We will help, including by explaining how to reset the advertising ID and clear the Game's data.

7. Data retention and deletion

• On-device data: delete it by uninstalling the Game or going to Settings > Apps > Squishy Blast > Storage > Clear data (the Game appears as "Squishy Blast" on your device; menu names vary by device). If device backup is on, a backup copy may remain in your Google account until Google replaces or removes it (see section 2).
• Advertising data held by Google: governed by Google's retention policies. Use Android advertising-ID and Google privacy controls to manage your identifiers and preferences. Resetting an identifier does not itself erase historical data held by Google.
• We hold no account data, so there is nothing for us to delete on a server.

8. Security

Data sent by the ads SDK is encrypted in transit (TLS), per Google. On-device progress is stored in the app's private storage.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, such as the EEA/UK or California, you may have rights to access, delete or object to the processing of personal data. For information held by Google, use available privacy options or Google's controls (https://myadcenter.google.com). You can also contact us at goldenhivegames@gmail.com.

10. Changes

We will post any changes on this page and update the effective date. Significant changes will also be noted in the Game's release notes. You can open this policy at any time from the Game's Settings ("Privacy policy").
