Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Developer Identity

This Privacy Policy explains how data is handled when you use mobile applications, games, and web tools published by Basavaraj Studio (founded by independent developer Basavaraj), including our flagship game GridBlast: Jewel Puzzle and upcoming releases. We are committed to absolute user transparency and strict compliance with Google Play Developer Policies and global privacy standards.

2. Information We Collect (Zero PII Philosophy)

Our applications do not require user accounts, email registration, passwords, or personal identifying information (PII). We do not collect names, home addresses, phone numbers, or contacts.

Information processed is strictly functional and anonymous:

• Gameplay State & Preferences: High scores, game settings, unlocked boosters, and audio preferences stored entirely on your device via local storage.
• Anonymous Technical Metrics: Standard device characteristics (such as screen resolution, OS version, and language) processed in real time by the operating system to render games smoothly.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob Integration)

Our free-to-play titles may display advertisements powered by Google AdMob. To serve contextual and personalized ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may process pseudonymous identifiers, such as the Android Advertising ID (AAID), IP address, and ad interaction events in strict compliance with Google's policies.

You can reset or opt out of personalized advertising on your Android device at any time by going to:

For more details on how Google handles advertising data, review the Google Advertising Technologies Policy and Google Privacy Policy.

4. In-App Purchases & Payments

Optional in-app items (such as jewel packs or booster bundles) are fulfilled directly via secure platform billing mechanisms (e.g., Google Play In-App Billing or UPI rail intents). We never store, handle, or transmit banking credentials or credit card numbers.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our casual puzzle games and developer utilities are designed for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe any personal information has been inadvertently collected, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

6. Static Hosting & Edge Delivery

This developer headquarters website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process ephemeral request logs (such as IP addresses and browser user-agent strings) strictly for security, DDoS mitigation, and edge caching purposes.

7. Data Deletion & Contact Information

Because we do not store personal profiles on remote servers, uninstalling the app immediately deletes all local gameplay data from your device. If you have any inquiries, feedback, or verification requests regarding this policy, contact the developer directly:
