Privacy Policy
The short version
Bossy Blocks has no accounts and no sign-in. We never ask for your name or your email address, and we don't want them. The game reports how it is being played — scores, levels, cards, crashes — under a random ID it makes up on your device. There are no ads, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party trackers. We don't sell or share your data with anyone.
This policy explains what the Bossy Blocks mobile game collects and why. The game is made by Iron Treble Technology Inc. If anything here is unclear, email us and we'll answer plainly.
What the game collects
- A random player ID. The first time you open the game it generates a random string and stores it on your device. Every report below is labelled with it, so we can tell one player's games apart from another's without knowing who either player is. It isn't derived from your device, your phone number, your Apple or Google account, or any advertising identifier. Delete the game and the ID goes with it; reinstalling produces a new one we can't connect to the old one. You can see your current ID on the Game Info screen.
- How you played. When a game starts and ends, when a turn ends, the level and score you reached, the difficulty you chose, which cards were dealt and played, which bosses appeared, and how much damage was done. This is what tells us whether the game is too hard or a card is useless.
- Device and app information. Operating system name and version, your device's language setting, the processor model, and the version of the game. This is what makes a bug report interpretable and tells us which devices to test against.
- Problem reports. When the game hits an internal error or fails to reload a saved game, it reports what went wrong along with the information above.
- App integrity checks. To confirm the app is the genuine, unmodified Bossy Blocks build, it reports facts about itself: its own package name, its signing information, and whether the files inside the app package are the ones we shipped. These checks look only at the game's own files — never at other apps, your files, or anything else on your device.
- Server logs. Like every web server, ours records the requests it receives, including the IP address they came from. We use these for security and to diagnose outages, and rotate them away after a short period. We don't combine them with your gameplay reports.
What the game never collects
- Your name, email address, phone number, or postal address
- Any account or sign-in — the game doesn't have one
- Advertising identifiers (Apple's IDFA, Android's Advertising ID)
- Your location
- Your contacts, photos, microphone, camera, or files
- Anything about your activity in other apps or on other websites
- Payment information — the game has no purchases
Why we collect it
For four things and nothing else: to run the global leaderboard, to find and fix bugs, to balance the game's difficulty and cards, and to confirm the app hasn't been tampered with. None of it is used for advertising, profiling, or automated decisions about you. The leaderboard shows a rank and a score — never a name, because we don't have one.
Who we share it with
Nobody. No ad networks, no analytics vendors, no attribution SDKs, no data brokers. The game talks only to servers we run ourselves. We don't sell your information or share it for anyone's advertising purposes. The only third party involved is the company that hosts our servers, which stores the data on our behalf and does nothing else with it. We may also disclose information if we're legally required to.
Where it's stored, and for how long
On servers we operate in Canada. We keep gameplay reports for as long as they're useful for understanding how the game is played, and server logs for a short period only.
Your choices
To stop sending anything: delete the game. Reporting stops immediately and the random ID is removed from your device.
To delete what we already have: open the Game Info screen, note your Player ID, and email it to us. We'll delete the records stored under that ID. We have to ask for the ID because it's the only way we can find your data — we hold no other means of identifying you.
If you're in the EEA, UK, Switzerland or California
Our lawful basis for the collection above is our legitimate interest in operating, supporting, securing and improving the game. You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, to object to processing, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We don't sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, and you won't be treated differently for exercising any of these rights. The practical caveat is the one above: without the Player ID from the Game Info screen we can't tell which records are yours, and we aren't going to collect more information about you in order to find out.
Children
Bossy Blocks isn't directed at children under 13. Nothing is collected differently for a younger player, because none of it identifies anyone in the first place. A parent who wants a child's records removed uses the same Player ID route as anyone else.
Changes to this policy
If we change what the game collects, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Material changes will also reach the App Store and Google Play privacy disclosures before the version that makes the change ships.
