Arca Blast Privacy Policy

Arca Blast is a single-player brick-breaker arcade game for Android. This policy explains what data the game handles and why.

What the game stores on your device

• Your progress: unlocked levels on each difficulty, scores and your best score, gold and gems, upgrades, achievements, daily quests and invasion records.
• Your settings: sound, language, graphics quality, the FPS and performance overlay, reduced flashing, and whether you finished the tutorial.
• Which skins you own and wear, and which purchases (No Ads, Premium, skins) are active, so they keep working offline.

The game has no server of its own and no account is created: there is no sign-up and no email address is asked for. Your progress is not uploaded anywhere by the game.

Deleting what the game stores

Uninstalling the game removes everything it stored on the device. That is the complete deletion route.

Settings → Erase progress is narrower, and the screen says so before you confirm it: it clears your gold, gems, upgrades, unlocked levels and achievements, and keeps your settings and your purchases.

The Google Drive copy Android may have made is separate from both, and is managed in your device's own Backup settings.

Android's own backup

Separately from the game, Android may back up an app's data to your Google account, and restore it when you set up a new phone. Arca Blast does not switch this off, so your saved progress may be copied to your Google Drive by Android itself. This is a device feature, covered by Google's privacy policy, and you can turn it off in your device settings under Backup. The game never reads or writes that copy.

Advertising

The game shows advertisements through Google AdMob. There are two kinds, and neither ever appears while you are playing a level:

• Occasional full-screen ads between levels – never during your first levels, and at most once every three levels and three minutes.
• Optional ads you choose to watch for a reward: double the gold of a level, continue after losing with one extra life, extra gems (up to three times a day), a doubled invasion chest, or one extra invasion attempt. Nothing is taken from you if you decline.

Ads may use your device's advertising identifier to show relevant ads, subject to your device's advertising settings. You can opt out of personalised ads in your device settings (Android: Settings → Google → Ads). If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, a consent form is shown before any ad is requested, and your answer is recorded by Google's User Messaging Platform; you can change it later in the game under Settings → Privacy & ads. Buying “No Ads” removes the full-screen ads for good; “Premium” also gives every optional reward without watching a video. See Google's advertising policy.

Analytics and crash reports

The game uses Google Firebase:

• Firebase Analytics records how the game is played, so we can balance the difficulty and fix problems: when a level is started, completed or failed (level number, difficulty, time spent, lives lost), when the tutorial is finished, which upgrades are bought, how far an invasion got, when an optional ad is watched and when a purchase is unlocked. It also collects standard information such as an app-instance identifier, device model, operating system version, app version, country and approximate session times. In this game Firebase is used for analytics only: it is not used for advertising, and its advertising-related consents are switched off.
• Firebase Crashlytics sends a report when the game crashes or hits an error: the error message and technical stack trace, device model, operating system version, app version and the level that was being played.

This data is processed by Google as our service provider, is not used to identify you personally, and is kept for a limited time (Analytics user-level data for 2 months, crash reports for 90 days). See Google's privacy policy and Firebase's privacy information.

Purchases

In-app purchases (No Ads, Premium, skins and the skin bundle) are processed by Google Play. The game receives only a confirmation of the purchase, never payment details. Settings → Restore purchases asks Google Play for the purchases on your account.

Children

Arca Blast is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. It contains no chat, no social features and no way to contact other players.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any data associated with you. The game itself keeps your progress only on your device. Analytics and crash data are not linked to your name or email address; you can write to the address below with any question or request and it will be answered. For the advertising identifier and Firebase, the controller of Google's own processing is Google; their tools are linked above.
