Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-09

Block Crush (blockcrush.net) is a free online puzzle gaming platform. We respect your privacy and are committed to transparency about how data is collected and used — both by us and by the third-party services we integrate.

What We Collect

By default, we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII). You don't need to create an account or provide any personal details to play games on our site.

To keep the site running smoothly, we may collect anonymous, aggregated data such as:

• Browser type and version
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Approximate location (country/region level, not precise)
• Pages visited and time spent
• Error logs for debugging

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics or similar tools to measure site traffic. These tools:

• Track aggregated trends (e.g., which games are popular)
• Do not identify individual users
• Respect browser-level blocking (ad blockers, privacy extensions)

If you block analytics tools, the games will still work normally.

Advertising Partners

We use NitroPay to serve advertisements on this site. NitroPay and its downstream advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and IP addresses to deliver and measure ads, including interest-based advertising.

These partners operate under their own privacy policies and, where applicable, are registered under the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF v2). A full list of NitroPay's advertising partners and their data practices is available through the Privacy Settings link in our footer.

NitroPay's privacy policy can be found at nitropay.com/privacy.

Comments (Waline)

If you choose to post a comment, the Waline comment widget will process:

• Nickname you provide
• Email address (optional, for avatar)
• Comment content

Comments are public and visible to other visitors. We moderate comments to remove spam and inappropriate content.

Cookies & Local Storage

We and our partners use cookies in the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary — Core site functionality (e.g., your cookie consent choice)
• Preferences — Remembering your settings (theme, language) and comment nickname
• Analytics — Anonymous usage tracking via Google Analytics or similar
• Advertising — Served by NitroPay and its partners for ad delivery and measurement; may include interest-based profiling

You can manage or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time via the Privacy Settings link in our footer (EEA/UK users) or by exercising your opt-out rights (California users — see below). Core gameplay will continue to work with non-essential cookies disabled.

Third-Party Embeds

Our games are embedded from third-party providers. These providers may have their own data collection practices. We use referrerpolicy="no-referrer" on embeds to limit data sharing, but we recommend reviewing third-party policies if you have concerns.

Data Sharing

We share data only in the following circumstances:

• Advertising: Anonymous identifiers (cookies, device fingerprint, IP) may be shared with NitroPay and its advertising network partners for ad delivery and measurement. Under the CCPA, this sharing may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. California residents may opt out — see below.
• Infrastructure: Hosting, CDN, and analytics providers operating under confidentiality agreements.
• Legal: When required by applicable law or valid legal process.

Children's Privacy

Our site is designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). If you believe a child has submitted personal data, please contact us for removal.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

• Right to Know — Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
• Right to Delete — Request deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Correct — Request correction of inaccurate personal information.

• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information — Limit our use of sensitive personal information to what is necessary for providing services.
• Right to Non-Discrimination — We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
