Privacy policy
Monk Key Studios ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what happens with information when you play LofiDrop: Chill Block Puzzle.
1. What we collect
We do not collect personal information, and the game has no accounts, sign-in, analytics or tracking of our own. We do not run any servers that receive your data.
2. What the game stores on your device
To remember your progress the game saves, on your device only:
- your best score and the game currently in progress,
- your settings (sound, music, vibration, theme and similar choices),
- your reminder choice and the usual hours you play, used only to time the daily reminder.
This never leaves your device through us. You can remove it at any time by clearing the app's storage in your phone settings, or by uninstalling the app and choosing not to keep its data (Android may ask whether to keep the app's data when you uninstall; if you keep it, your progress is still there if you reinstall). If you use Android's backup, Android may also keep a copy of this data in your own Google account so it can be restored on a new phone; that backup is managed by Google and Android, not by us.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game shows ads through Google AdMob: a rewarded video ad that you can choose to watch to continue a game, and full-screen ads between games. To show ads, measure how they perform and prevent fraud, Google and its partners may automatically collect and process information from your device, such as:
- device identifiers, including the Android Advertising ID,
- approximate location derived from your IP address,
- your IP address,
- app interaction data, performance and crash diagnostics.
This information is collected and used by Google, not by us. See how Google handles it:
- Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy
- How Google uses information from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
4. Reminders
The game can show one reminder notification a day. Reminders are scheduled on your device by the game itself; no information is sent to us or to anyone for this. Android asks for your permission once (after your first game); you can say no, and you can switch reminders off any time in the game's More Settings or in Android's notification settings.
5. Your choices
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are used, through Google's consent form. You can change your answer later in the game's settings where offered, or by clearing the app's data to be asked again.
- In certain US states (for example California) the game may show a choice to opt out of the sale or sharing of your data for personalised ads, through Google's privacy message. We do not sell personal information ourselves. You can change your choice later in the game's settings where offered.
- On Android you can reset your Advertising ID or opt out of ad personalisation in Settings > Google > Ads (the exact path depends on your phone).
- You can use the game without watching any rewarded ad.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or of targeted advertising, and to complain to a data protection authority.
We do not keep accounts or profiles and we do not hold personal information about you, so most of this is handled on your phone and by Google: you can use the consent form and ad choices described in section 5, your phone's settings, and Google's own tools linked in section 3. You can also email us any request at openandcold@gmail.com and we will answer within the time the law that applies to you requires.
7. How long data is kept, and where it is processed
The game's data (your progress, best score and settings) stays on your phone until you delete it or uninstall the app. We do not keep any copy.
Google and its advertising partners keep the information they collect for ads according to their own policies, and they may process it in the United States and other countries.
8. Children
LofiDrop is intended for people aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Permissions
The game uses the internet permission to load ads, the network-state permission so ads load only when you are online, the vibration permission for haptic feedback (which you can switch off in the game's settings), and the notification permission, only if you allow reminders.
10. Changes to this policy
If the game changes in a way that affects your privacy, we will update this page and its effective date.
