Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

BOXFLUX ("the game", "we", "us") is a single-player puzzle game. This page explains, in plain language, what happens with your data when you play.

The short version

• You don't need an account to play. We don't collect your name, email, or any personal profile.
• Your progress, score, and settings are stored locally on your device.
• The game shows ads through Google AdMob, which may collect some technical data to serve and measure ads.
• No data is sold. We don't run our own tracking or analytics servers.

Data stored on your device

BOXFLUX saves your progress, high scores, and settings (such as language) directly on your device. This data is not uploaded to us and is removed if you uninstall the app or clear its storage.

Global Leaderboard

If you join the Global Leaderboard, BOXFLUX creates an anonymous device ID and sends it, along with the nickname you choose and your game scores, to our own server so you can compete worldwide. Your country (derived from your device's language/region setting, not GPS) is shown next to your name on the leaderboard.

Your nickname, country, and scores are public — visible to anyone viewing the leaderboard. Don't use your real name or anything you don't want public.

To prevent abuse (like spammed score submissions), we keep a salted, one-way hash of your IP address for rate-limiting only — never your raw IP address.

This data is kept as long as you keep playing. To request deletion of your leaderboard data, email us at contact@boxflux.fun with your in-game nickname.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

BOXFLUX displays ads through Google AdMob. To serve relevant ads and measure performance, Google and its advertising partners may collect information such as device identifiers, approximate location, and ad interaction data.

Where required by local law (for example under GDPR in the European Economic Area, or similar regulations elsewhere), you'll be shown a consent form — built on Google's User Messaging Platform — before any personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time from that form.

What we don't do

• We don't require sign-up or ask for personal information to play.
• We don't collect contacts, photos, messages, or other personal files from your device.
• We don't sell your data to third parties.

Children's privacy

BOXFLUX is intended for a general audience. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If ads are shown to a child audience, ad requests are configured accordingly per Google AdMob's guidance for child-directed treatment.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the game evolves (for example, when the iOS version or new features ship). Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date.
