Blobby Pop privacy policy
Effective 16 October 2026. Published at https://blobby-pop.web.app/privacy.html (support: https://blobby-pop.web.app/support.html).
Blobby Pop is a puzzle game. This page explains what the game sends from your device, why, and what it never collects. The short version: there is no account, nowhere to type anything, and nothing that identifies you. What the game records is what happened in your rounds, so we can tune how hard it is. The game shows ads from Google AdMob; the section on ads below explains what that means.

What the game collects
- A random, anonymous id. When the game first starts, Google Firebase gives it a random id. It is not tied to your name, email, phone number or any account, and the game never shows it. It lets us tell one player's rounds from another's.
- What happened in each round. Your score, how many pieces you dropped, how many blobs you popped, which bosses you beat, which power-ups you used, how long the round lasted, how it ended, and the game settings it was played under. We also record when a session starts and ends.
- Basic device information. The app version, the platform (Android, iOS or web), the device model, the operating system version, the language setting and a short device description (for example "Android 14; Pixel 7"). This helps us find bugs that only happen on some devices.
- Usage events. A handful of events, such as "a round ended" or "a boss was beaten", with counts, scores and the game's own names for things (such as which boss or which hat) only. Google Analytics for Firebase also records its own standard information, including your approximate country (from your internet address, not from GPS).
What the game never collects
- No name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, files, calendar or microphone.
- No precise location. The game never asks for location permission.
- The game's own records never include your advertising id. Google's ad software may use it to show ads, but only as described under Ads below, and only with your consent where the law requires it.
- No payment information. There is nothing to buy.
- Nothing you type, because there is nowhere to type.
Why we collect it
Only to make the game better: to find out whether it is too hard or too easy, where players give up, and whether something is broken on a particular device. We do not use it to build a profile of you, and we could not tie it to you if we wanted to.
Who can see it
The data is stored in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore and Google Analytics for Firebase), which processes it for us. Only the developer of Blobby Pop can see it. We do not sell it or pass it to anyone else. The ads are served by Google AdMob, which collects its own information to do that (see Ads). Everything is sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).
Ads
Blobby Pop is free and shows ads from Google AdMob, in two places only, and only when you choose to watch one:
- At the loot orb, an offer to watch a short video for a second orb. You choose; saying no costs nothing.
- When the line lands, an offer to watch a short video to push the line back and keep going. Again, you choose.
Both are offers, never forced. No ad ever starts on its own: there are no banners, no ads between rounds and no ads during play.
To show and measure ads, Google's ad software collects information from your device: your device's advertising identifier (where you allow it), your IP address and approximate location derived from it, device and app information (model, operating system, app version), and how you interact with the ads. Google uses it under its own policies: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Your choices. If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, or in a US state with privacy options, the game shows Google's consent form before it shows personalized ads, and you can change your choice at any time from Settings › Privacy options. On iPhone, you are asked whether apps may track you only if the consent form calls for it; if you say no, or turn tracking off in your iPhone's settings, you still see ads, but they are not personalized. You can also reset or turn off your advertising identifier in your device's settings.
Children
Blobby Pop is made for players 13 and older. It is not directed at children, and it collects no personal information from anyone.
How long we keep it
We keep round records only as long as they are useful for tuning the game. Because they are anonymous, they are never kept in a form that identifies you.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling the game removes everything stored on your device and ends its anonymous id; a new install starts with a new one. The rounds already sent are not linked to you, so we usually cannot pick out yours, but if you email us with the approximate dates you played and your device model, we will look and delete anything we can match.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
