kinoBlokino needs no account and no internet to play. Your games, streak, bests and settings stay on your phone. Data leaves your phone only when an ad is shown, when you buy something, and when the app crashes.
1. Who we are
Appn Yazılım ve Danışmanlık Ltd. Şti.
Adalet Mah. Manas Blv. No: 39 İç Kapı No: 3201, Folkart Towers B, Bayraklı / İzmir, Türkiye
Email: blokino@appn.app
We are the data controller for the Blokino mobile app (iOS and Android) and this website. This policy explains the personal data processed when you use them, under Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) and, for users in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the GDPR.
2. What stays on your phone
Your games and the game in progress, your daily puzzle calendar and streak, bests, statistics, Adventure progress and settings are stored only on your phone. They are not sent to us; the daily puzzle, too, is made on your phone without internet.
- Your phone’s own backup: If backup is on, this data is also included in your iCloud (Apple) device backup or Google’s automatic backup. Apple and Google keep that backup under their own terms; we can’t see it.
- Daily reminder: If you turn it on, the notification at the time you pick is scheduled on your phone and arrives only if you haven’t played that day’s puzzle. No data is sent for it.
- To delete it: Settings › Reset data deletes your bests, streak, statistics and Adventure progress. Deleting the app removes all of it too.
3. Ads (free version)
The free version shows a short full-screen ad after every second Classic game and a small banner at the bottom of the Today page. When a game ends you can choose to watch an ad to continue that game once. No ad shows during play. Ads are provided by Unity Ads and shown through Unity LevelPlay, both services of Unity Technologies. No other ad network is used.
Before the first ad you are asked. No request is sent to the ad network before that; the banner on the Today page stays closed until then too.
- On iPhone a short page explains how ads are shown, then iOS’s App Tracking Transparency prompt opens. If you don’t allow tracking, ads are not picked by your interests.
- On Android you see two equal options: Personalised ads or Non-personalised ads.
- In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland a consent page also opens, where you decide whether ads are chosen for you.
Personalised ads are shown only with your permission or consent. With non-personalised ads, ads are not picked by your interests; the technical data below is still processed to deliver and measure ads, cap how often they show, and prevent fraud.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Advertising ID (on iPhone the IDFA only with your permission; on Android the Google advertising ID), an app-specific device ID | Showing and measuring ads, not showing the same ad too often; with your consent, picking ads by your interests |
| IP address and the approximate location it implies (country, city) | Ads suited to your region, fraud prevention |
| Device model, operating system, language, app version, connection type | Making the ad work on your device |
| Ad interactions (views, taps, closes) | Measurement and reporting |
You can change your choice at any time in Settings › Ad privacy: the “Personalised ads” switch is there, and in Europe you can reopen the consent page there too. On iPhone you can change tracking in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking; on Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Google settings. If you buy the ad-free version, ads go away completely, the continue needs no ad, and the ad network is never started.
See the Unity privacy policy for how Unity processes data.
4. Purchases: the ad-free version
Payment is taken by the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google). We never see your card details. RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc., USA) is used to verify purchases and for “Restore purchase”. RevenueCat receives an anonymous user ID made by the app, purchase and transaction details (product, date, store transaction ID), country, platform and app version. Your name and email are not sent to RevenueCat.
5. Crash reports
Blokino uses one of Google’s Firebase services, Firebase Crashlytics. If the app crashes, a crash report is sent: when and where the error happened, device model, operating system and app version, device state such as free memory and disk space, and a random installation ID. The report does not contain your game progress, your name or your email. The installation ID does not identify you and is not combined with your advertising ID.
6. Sharing and this website
When you share a result with “Share”, the result card (score, date and a small picture of the board) and the blokino.appn.app link go to the app you pick in your phone’s share menu. We don’t see what you share or with whom.
This website runs on Firebase Hosting (Google). It uses no cookies, analytics or ads. When you open it, Google keeps standard server logs, such as your IP address, browser details and the page requested, to run and secure the site.
7. When you write to us
If you email us, from “Send an email” in Settings › Support or directly, we use your email address and message only to reply and solve the problem. Emails sent from the app include the app version and device details automatically; you can see and delete them before sending.
8. What we don’t use
Blokino has no account, no cloud save and no separate analytics tool. The app doesn’t ask for location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone access. Notification permission is asked only if you turn on the daily reminder. We don’t sell your personal data.
9. Legal bases
| Processing | Legal basis (KVKK Art. 5–6; GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Personalised ads, advertising ID | Consent |
| Delivering and measuring non-personalised ads, fraud prevention | Legitimate interest (offering the free version with ads) |
| Purchases and restoring them | Entering into and performing a contract |
| Crash reports | Legitimate interest (keeping the app working and secure) |
| Website server logs | Legitimate interest (running and securing the site) |
| Support emails | Legitimate interest; performing a contract |
| Keeping sales records | Legal obligation |
You can withdraw your consent for ads at any time in Settings › Ad privacy.
10. Transfers and other countries
Your data is shared only for the purposes above, with these providers: Unity Technologies (ads), RevenueCat (purchases), Google (Firebase Crashlytics and Hosting), Apple and Google (the stores and your phone’s backup). Their servers may be in the USA and other countries. Transfers abroad follow Article 9 of the KVKK and the GDPR, using safeguards such as the providers’ standard contractual clauses or, where required, your explicit consent.
11. How long we keep data
- Data on your phone: until you reset your data or delete the app.
- Crash reports: 90 days.
- Installation ID: until you delete the app; after that, for Firebase’s own retention periods.
- Purchase records: as long as needed to restore your purchase, and for statutory retention periods.
- Support emails: up to two years after the request is resolved.
- Data held by ad networks and the website’s server logs: for Unity’s and Google’s own retention periods.
12. Your rights
Under Article 11 of the KVKK and the GDPR, you have the right to know whether your data is processed, to request information, correction or deletion, to know who it was shared with, to object to processing, to data portability, and to compensation if you suffered harm. Send your request to blokino@appn.app or in writing to the address above. We reply free of charge within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can complain to the Turkish Personal Data Protection Authority or, in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, to your local data protection authority.
Because there is no account, we don’t know you by name. For a request about a purchase, include the order number from your store receipt so we can find the record. You can remove the data on your phone yourself with Settings › Reset data or by deleting the app.
13. Children
Blokino is not directed at children under 13 and we don’t knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.
14. Changes
If we change this policy, we will publish the new version on this page with its effective date. For significant changes we will also let you know in the app.
