PRIVACY POLICY

BLACKOUT — DASH IN THE DARK · EFFECTIVE JULY 2026

THE SHORT VERSION

BLACKOUT has no accounts, no sign-in, and no servers of its own. Your game progress stays on your device. The only data collection happens through Google AdMob, which serves the ads that keep the game free.

WHAT THE GAME ITSELF COLLECTS

Nothing. Progress, coins, settings, and levels you create are stored locally on your device. Levels you share are copied to your clipboard as text codes — they never pass through a server.

ADVERTISING (GOOGLE ADMOB)

BLACKOUT uses Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising identifier), approximate location inferred from IP address, and ad interaction data to serve and measure ads. If you grant App Tracking Transparency permission, ads may be personalized; if you decline, you'll see non-personalized ads instead. Where required by law (such as in regions covered by GDPR), a consent form is shown before ads initialize.

Google's practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy and AdMob data usage documentation.

IN-APP PURCHASES

Purchases are processed entirely by Apple. This game never sees your payment details. Purchase receipts are handled by Apple's StoreKit.

YOUR CHOICES

• You can decline tracking when iOS asks — the game works identically.
• You can reset your advertising identifier or limit ad tracking in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security.
• You can delete all game data by deleting the app.

CHILDREN

BLACKOUT is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone. The game contains mild horror themes and is rated accordingly on the App Store.
