Game privacy policy
Aero Cube Puzzle — Privacy Policy
This policy explains how the mobile game Aero Cube Puzzle for Android, developed and published on Google Play by Bazovik Studio, handles your data. For the studio website, see the website privacy policy. Learn more about the game on its game page.
1. Summary
- The game does not require an account and does not ask for your name, email address, contacts, photos or location.
- Your progress, coins and settings are stored only on your device. We do not run servers that receive them.
- The game shows ads from Google AdMob — mainly rewarded videos you choose to watch. Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address and similar data to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud.
- Optional in-app purchases ("No ads", Premium pack, coin packs) are processed by Google Play Billing. We never see your card or bank details.
- Notifications (reminders and occasional news via Google Firebase Cloud Messaging) are sent only if you allow them, and can be switched off in the game settings.
- In the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the game asks for your advertising consent through Google's consent form before ads are shown.
2. Who is responsible
Aero Cube Puzzle is developed and published by Rodion Saveliev, a sole proprietorship registered in Poland, trading as Bazovik Studio ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for the processing described in this policy, except where it is stated that Google acts as an independent controller.

3. Data the game handles
The table lists everything the game handles. "On device" means the data never leaves your phone through us.
We do not use analytics, crash-reporting or social SDKs in Aero Cube Puzzle, and we do not sell personal data.
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game offers optional rewarded video ads — for example to get a hint, extra time, continue after time runs out, triple a level reward or collect free coins — and may show an interstitial ad between levels, no more often than every few levels. Ads are served by Google AdMob, provided by Google Ireland Limited (EEA/UK users) and Google LLC. Google acts as an independent controller for the data it collects through its SDK. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
- Legal basis. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, personalised ads are shown only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), collected through Google's consent form. Without consent, Google may show non-personalised ads, which rely on limited data for frequency capping, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention (our legitimate interest in funding a free game, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- Advertising ID. You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your device settings under Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads).
- Rewards. A reward is granted only after the video has been watched. Nothing is charged to you. With "No ads" or the Premium pack these rewards are given without a video and no interstitial ads are shown.
5. In-app purchases
You can optionally buy "No ads" or the Premium pack (no ads forever plus coins) and coin packs. Payments are handled entirely by Google Play Billing under the Google Payments Privacy Notice. We receive no card or bank details — only confirmation of which item was bought, so the game can deliver and restore it. Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Refunds are handled through Google Play.
6. Notifications
After a few levels the game asks whether you want notifications. Only if you agree (and allow notifications in Android) does the game:
- schedule local reminders on your phone — for example when your daily gift is ready again, or after a day or three without playing. They are created on the device and contain no personal data;
- register with Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC) so we can send occasional news in your game language. Firebase creates an installation ID and a push token; we use them only to deliver messages and subscribe the device to topics "all" and your language. See Privacy and Security in Firebase.
Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Turn Notifications off in the game settings (or in Android settings) at any time — the game then cancels reminders, unsubscribes from topics and deletes the push token.
7. Data stored on your device
Your level progress, coin balance, daily gift timer and settings are saved in the game's private storage on your phone. They are not sent to us or to anyone else. Clearing the app's data or uninstalling the game deletes them permanently.
8. App permissions
- Internet and network state — to load ads, process purchases and receive notifications. The puzzles themselves play offline.
- Post notifications (Android 13+) — requested once after a few levels or when you switch notifications on, see section 6.
- Vibrate — for optional haptic feedback, which you can switch off in the game.
- Billing (com.android.vending.BILLING) — for Google Play purchases.
- Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID) — added by the Google Mobile Ads SDK so ads can use the advertising ID, as described in section 4.
The game does not request access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or files.
9. Sharing and international transfers
We do not share personal data with anyone other than Google as described above (AdMob, Google Play Billing, Firebase Cloud Messaging). Google may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States, relying on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses. We may disclose information if required by law.
10. Security
Data collected by Google's SDK is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). Data saved by the game stays in Android's app-private storage, which other apps cannot read. We do not operate servers that receive player data, so there is no player database on our side that could be breached.
11. Retention and deletion
- On-device data is kept until you clear the app's data or uninstall the game; either action deletes it immediately.
- Advertising data is retained by Google according to its own policies (see How Google retains data). Resetting or deleting your advertising ID breaks the link to previously collected ad data.
- Push tokens are deleted when you turn notifications off; Firebase removes inactive installations after a period of inactivity (typically up to 270 days).
- Purchase records are kept by Google Play as required for payments, tax and accounting.
- Emails you send us are kept for as long as needed to answer you, and for no more than 2 years after the conversation ends unless the law requires longer.
To ask about or request deletion of data, write to rodion.saveliev.dev@gmail.com. We reply within 30 days. As we hold no player data on our servers, in most cases uninstalling the game removes everything we would hold.
12. Children
Aero Cube Puzzle is a general-audience puzzle game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the game, contact us at rodion.saveliev.dev@gmail.com and we will help remove it.
13. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access your personal data, have it corrected or erased, restrict or object to its processing, and receive it in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. Write to rodion.saveliev.dev@gmail.com. For data collected by Google, you can also use the tools in your Google Account. You may lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland, or with the supervisory authority where you live.
14. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy when the game changes the way it handles data — for example if a new SDK is added. The current version is always published at this address with its date shown above.
