Privacy Policy
Brickveil: Brick Breaker ("Brickveil" or the "Game") is provided by Yuval Yanous, an individual operating under the name y_y_apps ("we", "us"). This policy explains how information is handled when you use the Game on Android or iOS.
Privacy and support contact: yuvaly612@gmail.com.
Information and purposes
Local game data. Progress, scores, settings, lives, virtual currency and unlocked items are stored on your device so the Game can remember your progress. Brickveil does not currently provide its own cloud-save account or cross-device progress synchronization. Device backup services may preserve application data according to your device settings.
Platform game services. On Android, the Game can connect to Google Play Games; on iOS, it can connect to Apple Game Center. These services handle authentication and process platform player identifiers, gaming profile information and submitted scores to provide leaderboards. Your gaming name, profile image where applicable, rank and score may be visible to other players according to your platform profile settings. We do not receive your Google or Apple password. Declining game-service sign-in does not prevent local gameplay.
Advertising, when enabled. The Game uses Google AdMob to display advertising between gameplay sessions. Google's advertising SDK can process IP addresses (including approximate location derived from them), device and advertising identifiers, app/ad interactions and diagnostic information to deliver and measure ads, maintain service performance and prevent fraud. Processing depends on your device, region, consent choices and the advertising configuration. Non-personalized ads may still involve data processing. Where required, advertising choices are presented through Google's consent tools and can be revisited through the Game's ad privacy settings.
Purchases, when enabled. Google Play or Apple's App Store processes payments. RevenueCat helps validate purchases and manage access to purchased features. This can involve an app-specific user identifier, product identifiers, purchase receipts or tokens, transaction history, entitlement status, and technical information needed to operate the purchase service. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
Support. If you contact us, we receive the email address, message and any attachments or diagnostic details you choose to send. We use these to respond and resolve your request. Please do not send passwords or full payment-card details.
The Game does not request camera, microphone, contacts or precise GPS location access for gameplay. It does not currently integrate Firebase Analytics or Firebase cloud saves.
Sharing and service providers
Information is handled by providers as needed for the features you use:
- Google Play Games and Google Play billing
- Google AdMob
- Apple Game Center and App Store
- RevenueCat purchase management
We may disclose information when legally required, to address fraud or security threats, or to protect legal rights. We do not sell player contact details for money. Advertising data processing can qualify as sharing or targeted advertising under some laws; applicable choices depend on the advertising services and your location.
Legal bases and international processing
Where applicable, we process information to provide requested game features and purchases, for legitimate interests such as security and responding to support requests, to comply with legal obligations, and with consent where required for advertising or device access. You can withdraw consent without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal. Service providers may process information in countries other than yours under their own transfer safeguards and policies.
Retention and deletion
Local progress remains on your device until reset, cleared or removed. The in-game progress reset does not erase platform leaderboard records, store transactions or the entitlement to an ad-removal purchase. Clearing application storage or uninstalling may remove local data; device backups can retain a copy.
We retain support correspondence while needed to resolve a request and handle related follow-up. Purchase-related records may be retained while required to validate an entitlement, address disputes or fraud, or meet legal obligations. We delete or de-identify information we control when those purposes no longer apply. Platform and advertising providers retain their records under their own policies and obligations.
Request deletion: email yuvaly612@gmail.com with the subject “Brickveil privacy request.” Describe the request and, if relevant, provide your platform and an order reference or player identifier. Do not send passwords. We may request proportionate information to verify the request.
A verified request can cover support correspondence and information controlled by y_y_apps. We may retain limited purchase, fraud-prevention or legal records for as long as necessary. Google Play Games profile data, platform leaderboard records, store transactions and Google or Apple accounts are controlled by their respective platforms. Players can manage or delete Play Games data through their Google Play Games profile or Google Account, and Game Center information through Apple account controls. Deleting Brickveil does not delete a platform account or request a purchase refund.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of personal information, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain advertising-related sharing. Contact us to exercise applicable rights. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
The Game is intended for teenagers aged 13 and older and adults, and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Game, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate steps. Where local law requires parental authorization for a minor's data processing, that requirement applies.
Security
We use reasonable measures appropriate to the information and services involved. No device, network or storage system is completely secure. Keep your device and platform accounts protected.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when features or data practices change. The effective date identifies the current version; material changes will be communicated where required. Contact Yuval Yanous, operating as y_y_apps, at yuvaly612@gmail.com for privacy questions.
