Privacy Policy for TileBloom

June 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how TileBloom ("the Game", "we", "our") handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy. Please read this document carefully.

1. Overview

TileBloom is a casual merge-tiles puzzle game for short, relaxed play sessions on mobile. The Game offers a swipe-to-merge board, multiple modes, a best-score chase, combos, statistics and achievements. TileBloom is designed with an offline-first approach: all game progress and preferences are stored exclusively on your device and never transmitted to our servers.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
• Account credentials or authentication tokens
• Device location or GPS coordinates (the Game does not request location permissions)
• Usage analytics, crash reports, or behavioral telemetry
• Advertising identifiers or tracking cookies
• Your gameplay patterns, session times, or in-game choices

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored only on your device using Android's DataStore, and is never sent to any external server:

• Game progress: your saved game, current board, and resumable state.
• Best scores: best score and highest tile reached, overall and per mode.
• Mode unlocks: which game modes you have unlocked.
• Statistics: lifetime stats such as games played, merges, and combos.
• Achievements: which achievements are unlocked and their progress.
• Preferences: theme (Light/Dark/System), sound effects on/off, haptic feedback on/off, animations on/off, stored via Android DataStore.

All locally stored data remains under your full control. You may reset progress via the Settings screen, or uninstall the Game to remove all data permanently.

4. Third-Party Services — None

The Game does not communicate with any third-party services. All gameplay, progress tracking, and features work entirely offline.

5. Permissions

The Game requests the following permission(s):

• `android.permission.VIBRATE` — used locally for haptic feedback during gameplay events (merging tiles, milestones). No vibration data is collected or transmitted.

The Game does NOT request:

• Location (GPS, coarse, background)
• Camera or microphone
• Contacts
• Phone state or identifiers
• SMS or call log access
• Photos, media, or file access
• Internet access

6. No Advertising or Analytics SDKs

TileBloom does not integrate any advertising networks, analytics SDKs, or third-party tracking libraries. There are no ads of any kind within the Game, and no in-app purchases.

7. Children's Privacy

The Game does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since the Game collects no personal information from any user, it is safe for use by all ages.

8. Data Security

Because all game progress and user data is stored locally on your device, the security of that data depends on the security measures provided by the Android operating system and your device (screen lock, encryption, etc.). We do not expose any data to external parties.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in an updated version of this document bundled with a new Game release. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
