Children's Policy
Target audience
On Google Play, Block Forge's target audience is 13 and older. The App is not designed for or directed at children under 13. While the gameplay, visuals, and content are suitable for all ages (rated PEGI 3 / ESRB Everyone), the App relies on advertising and uses the standard Android Advertising ID for ad serving, which is not compatible with Google's Designed for Families program for under-13s.
What we do
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
- We set Google Play's "target age group" field to 13+.
- Our marketing and store listing visuals avoid imagery primarily aimed at children.
- We use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to handle consent in the EU / EEA / UK.
- Where we ever process EU user data, users under 16 are presumed not to have given valid consent for personalized advertising.
What parents and guardians should know
The App is free, contains advertising, and runs without an internet connection (ads will simply not load when offline). There are no in-app purchases, no chat, no user accounts, and no user-generated content. Children may still see in-app advertisements served by Google AdMob. To restrict ads or in-app activity, use Android's Family Link controls and Google Play's parental controls.
If you believe we collected data from a child under 13
Please contact rudratech97@gmail.com and provide enough information for us to identify the data (e.g., the Android Advertising ID, approximate dates, device). We will delete the data and confirm in writing within 30 days.
