Privacy Policy — Reveal Blast

Last updated: 17 August 2026

Reveal Blast ("the app", "we") is a block puzzle game. We built it to respect your attention and your privacy. This policy explains, in plain language, what happens with your data.

Who we are

Reveal Blast is made and published by Yusuf Demirtas, based in Türkiye, who is the data controller for everything described in this policy. The app has no company behind it and no staff — it is one person. You can reach us any time at tiko23miko23@gmail.com.

The short version

We do not ask for your name, email, or an account. Your game progress is saved only on your device. We collect anonymous statistics about how the game is played so we can improve it, plus crash reports when something goes wrong — and you can switch both off in Settings. Some versions show a small number of ads through Google AdMob — never banners, never during a board — and there is a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase that stops them for good. That's it.

What we store on your device

Your game progress, settings, and purchases are stored locally on your device. We do not run our own servers, and your saved game is never uploaded anywhere. Deleting the app removes it.

Anonymous game statistics

To understand whether the game actually works — whether puzzles are too hard, whether a screen is confusing, whether a feature is used at all — we send anonymous event data to PostHog, an analytics service acting as our processor.

What is sent is a fixed, short list of gameplay events, such as: a game started or ended (with the score, lines cleared, and how long it lasted), a board fully cleared, a daily puzzle completed, an item bought with in-game coins, and whether a purchase or restore succeeded. Each event carries a random identifier generated on your device the first time you open the app, so we can tell one player's session from another's without knowing who anyone is.

Just as important is what is not sent:

The random identifier is stored in the app's own storage and disappears when you delete the app. This data is processed on PostHog's servers in the United States, which means that if you are in the EU or UK, it is transferred outside your region. See PostHog's privacy policy at posthog.com/privacy.

You can turn this off. Settings › Privacy › "Share anonymous statistics" stops it, and stops crash reports with it. Switching it off is a real off switch, not a filter: from the next launch the analytics software is not started at all, so nothing is sent and no identifier is used. The same screen shows you your anonymous identifier, so you can quote it if you ever want to ask us about your data.

Crash reports

When the app crashes, a report is sent through the same service so we can find and fix the bug. It contains technical information about the failure — where in the code it happened, the device model, and the app and iOS version. It does not contain your saved game or anything you typed.

Ads

Some versions of the game show a small number of ads, through Google AdMob and the advertising partners Google works with. To select and measure ads, they may process device information including an advertising identifier, an approximate location derived from your IP address, and how you use the app. Buying "Remove Ads" turns ads off entirely. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy and its list of partners at Google's ad technology providers.

There are never banner ads, and no ad appears while a board is in progress. Ads happen at four moments only: between games, when you leave a paused game, and — always your choice, never automatic — when you tap to watch a short video to keep a board going or to earn a Spark.

Your choices, in the order you will see them.

This is separate from the anonymous statistics above: Google is its own company with its own policies, and the analytics described earlier never receive your advertising identifier.

Purchases

The "Remove Ads" purchase is handled entirely by Apple's App Store. We never see or store your payment details. We do record, anonymously, that a purchase or restore happened and whether it succeeded.

Children

Reveal Blast is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Why we are allowed to use this data

If you are in the EU, the UK or Switzerland, the law asks us to name a legal basis for each thing we do. Ours are:

How long we keep it

Your saved game, your settings, and the random analytics identifier live on your device until you delete the app — we hold no copy.

Anonymous events and crash reports are stored by PostHog on our behalf for as long as they remain useful for improving the game. We keep no separate copy anywhere else. If you would like the events tied to your identifier removed sooner, email us the identifier shown in Settings › Privacy and we will delete them.

Data that Google processes to serve ads is kept under Google's own retention rules, set out in its privacy policy — we have no access to it and cannot delete it on your behalf.

Your choices

You can switch off anonymous statistics and crash reports in the game's own Settings › Privacy. You can decline ad tracking when asked, reset or limit your advertising identifier in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security, or buy "Remove Ads" to stop ads. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device, including the random analytics identifier — after that, nothing further is sent, and a reinstall starts from a new identifier that cannot be connected to the old one. If you have a question or a request about your data, email us at the address below.

Your rights

If you are in the EU, the UK or Switzerland, you have the right to ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, to receive it in a portable form, and to withdraw your consent for ads at any time. We extend these same requests to anyone who asks, wherever you live.

One practical note, because it is easy to be disappointed by the answer: the app has no accounts and never learns who you are, so the only handle we have is the random identifier shown in Settings › Privacy. Please include it in your message — without it there is genuinely no way for us to find your records, and we would rather say so plainly than ask you for a name and an email we have never needed.

Email tiko23miko23@gmail.com and we will reply within one month. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority: in the EU you can find yours through the European Data Protection Board, and in the UK through the Information Commissioner's Office.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above.
