Grove Block Sprint Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 29, 2026
Protecting user personal privacy and empowering individuals to control their own data stands as one of our core operational priorities. To simplify reading and expression, all references to the user within this document will use the pronoun “you”. This notice plainly explains how we collect, store, and process personal user data whenever you interact with our mobile game, referred to hereafter as the “App”. We highly recommend reviewing this policy in full to fully grasp our overall data processing rules and operational standards. Your continued access, installation, and daily use of the App alongside its supporting online services confirm that you have fully read, understood, and voluntarily agreed to every clause and data practice listed in this privacy notice.
Collected Data & Corresponding Usage Purposes
1. In-App Behavioral & Activity Metrics
We capture a broad set of behavioral statistics tied to your in-game actions and daily usage habits. Collected content covers click frequency, browsed in-app pages, viewed content sections, application launch records, authorized permission settings, functional operation status, the quantity and package names of other installed software, device brand labels, real-time network connection conditions, firebase device IDs, hardware model specifications, SIM card issuing regions, system display language, and advertising cookie data available for third-party ad providers. All gathered information is solely shared with officially verified analytical service providers, including Firebase, Facebook Analytics, and our proprietary internal data statistics platform (ECS).
2. Hardware & Operating Environment Data
To continuously optimize gameplay quality and deliver smoother user experiences, we gather targeted device and network environment details. The exact scope of collected content adjusts according to personal usage habits, privacy preference settings, and the specific functions you activate. This information may contain SDK and API version numbers, service platform types, operation timestamps, exclusive application IDs and build versions, unique device identification codes, manufacturer information, operating system editions, regional language preferences, time zone parameters, and network connection modes like Wi-Fi. We also record Google Play listing status, advertisement loading methods, active ad service platforms, and exclusive advertising identification codes. The Android ID obtained from your device will be retained to track in-app ad performance, and this piece of information is classified as personally identifiable data.
3. Advertising Service Related Information
Your Android device’s advertising identifier is utilized to deliver tailored promotional content and complete advertising effect statistics and data analysis. This marker contains no sensitive private content, cannot trace your real identity, and will never connect to fixed hardware identifiers such as SSAID, MAC addresses, or IMEI codes.
4. Network Connection Information
Whenever you run the game with an active internet connection, we record your current network type (wireless Wi‑Fi or mobile cellular data) and public IP address. Such information is critical for sustaining stable server links, preventing disconnections, and ensuring seamless in-game operation at all times.
5. Third-Party SDK Data for Monetization & Analysis
The App integrates multiple external third-party development toolkits that may independently collect limited user information, with the specific categories listed below:
l Google Advertising ID: Applied within Google’s advertising system to enable ad distribution and related promotional functions.
l Device metadata: Including hardware models, technical specifications, and the regional location where you access our services.
l Anti-cheat and risk control data: Designed to detect invalid ad clicks and maintain a secure, fair advertising ecosystem.
l Regional demographic insights: Derived from IP analysis to study cross-regional user behavior trends.
l Marketing and analytical statistics: Used by third-party providers to refine promotion plans, conduct market research, and analyze user activity patterns.
l Ad cookies for commercial partners: Stored locally on your device or accessed by advertising service teams to support targeted marketing operations.
All data acquired by external SDK providers is governed entirely by their independent privacy policies, over which we hold no management or control rights. Our cooperative third parties cover mainstream ad monetization platforms including Google Admob, Facebook Audience Network and IronSource, as well as analytical tools such as Firebase, Facebook Analytics and our internal data management system. You may access official privacy policy links for all collaborative brands in the dedicated “Third-Party Partners’ Privacy Policies” section for detailed review.
Legal Bases for Personal Data Processing
Every operation involving your personal data is carried out to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice, and all data processing activities are supported by the following legitimate legal grounds:
1. Contract Fulfillment
Our processing of user personal data is essential to execute the service agreement between both parties. It enables us to provide requested in-game services and complete identity verification, including regular account maintenance, normal login support, and full access to all built-in product features.
2. Legal Compliance Obligations
We conduct data handling activities to abide by local laws, regulatory requirements and official industry standards. This covers mandatory financial record retention in line with accounting norms, as well as necessary information disclosure to regulatory authorities when legally required by official mandates.
3. Legitimate Business Needs
User information may be utilized to sustain stable user interactions and service operations. This includes issuing critical service notifications, strengthening platform security defenses, and releasing new version or function updates. Through user data analysis, we continuously optimize product content and upgrade overall service quality to deliver a better user experience.
4. Explicit User Consent
For specific non-essential processing activities, we will only collect and use your personal data after obtaining your clear, voluntary authorization. Typical examples include saving optional cookies on your device and sharing limited information to support customized advertising content. Please note that certain auxiliary game functions may be restricted if you decline to grant such permission.
Ways We Collect User Information
1. Automatic In-App Data Collection
Once you launch and interact with Grove Block Sprint, our background system will automatically collect the various types of user data mentioned earlier. The entire collection process strictly follows the provisions of this privacy policy and complies with all current local laws and regulatory rules.
2. Data Acquisition via External Channels
If you download and install the game through third-party distribution platforms such as Google Play, we may receive limited device-related information, including unique device identifiers and installation behavior records. All data transmission from external platforms follows their independent privacy rules and complies with standardized legal requirements.
Data Protection and Security Measures
We place the highest priority on protecting user personal privacy and have adopted a complete set of comprehensive protection mechanisms. Advanced encryption technology is widely used for local storage and network transmission, effectively preventing data leakage, unauthorized access, information tampering, data loss and other potential security threats.
Strict internal access control measures are implemented to ensure only designated staff with legitimate job duties can view and process personal user data. All access operations are fully recorded, and regular internal security audits are conducted on an ongoing basis. Meanwhile, we carry out periodic security inspections and vulnerability repairs for game systems and cloud servers, actively preventing network threats such as hacker attacks, virus intrusions and other cyber risks.
Your Rights
1. Right to Withdraw Consent
You have the full right to withdraw any prior consent you provided for our processing of your personal data at any time and for any reason. Withdrawing such consent will not affect the legality of any data processing activities that were conducted before the withdrawal took effect, nor will it impact any actions that third parties had already completed prior to your consent revocation.
2. Right to Access and Correct Personal Data
In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, you are legally entitled to request access to all personal information we hold about you, as well as to ask for any necessary revisions or corrections to that data if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
3. Right to Request and Modify Information Copies
Upon submitting a formal written request, we will provide you with a free copy of the personal data we maintain about you, unless local laws permit us to charge a reasonable administrative fee for this service. We may restrict your access to certain data if doing so is necessary to protect the legitimate rights and interests of other users or external parties. If you are unable to directly correct incorrect information through in-game settings or official platforms, you may submit a request for us to make the necessary revisions and updates on your behalf.
4. Right to Request Data Deletion
You may submit a request for the deletion of your personal information in any of the following scenarios:
l The data is no longer needed to fulfill the original purposes for which it was collected and processed;
l You have fully withdrawn the consent that served as the legal basis for the data processing;
l You object to the continued processing of your data, and we do not have any valid, overriding commercial interests to justify continuing such processing.
5. Right to Restrict Data Processing
You may request that we limit the processing of your personal data in situations such as, but not limited to, the following:
l You challenge the accuracy of your personal data (processing will be restricted during the verification process, which may temporarily interrupt your use of our services);
l You consider the data processing to be unlawful and request a restriction on use rather than full deletion;
l We no longer require the data for its original purpose, but you need it to be retained and restricted for the purpose of pursuing legal claims, or while we assess whether our legitimate interests take precedence over your objection.
Personal data subject to processing restrictions will only be handled with your explicit consent, for the purpose of asserting or defending legal claims, to protect the rights of third parties, or for reasons of significant public interest. We will notify you immediately once any such restrictions are lifted.
6. Right to Object to Data Processing
If we process your personal data based on your prior consent, an existing service agreement, or our legitimate commercial interests, you have the legal right to formally object to such processing in accordance with applicable laws. We may only continue processing your data if it is necessary to pursue legal claims or if explicitly permitted by relevant legal provisions.
7. Obligation to Notify Third Parties
If we have shared your personal data with third parties, we will inform those parties of any requests you make regarding data correction, deletion, or restriction—unless fulfilling this notification obligation is technically unfeasible or would impose an unreasonable administrative burden. Upon your formal request, we will also disclose the identities of these third parties that have received your data.
8. Right Concerning Automated Decision-Making
Unless exempted by law, you have the right to avoid being subject to decisions made solely through automated data processing (including user profiling) that could have legal consequences or cause substantial harm to your personal interests.
9. Right to Data Portability
If your personal data is processed based on a valid contract, your explicit prior consent, or fully automated means, you may request that we provide your data in a structured, machine-readable format. When technically feasible and without infringing on the legal rights of any third party, we will directly transfer your data to another data controller designated by you.
10. Right to File a Complaint
If you believe that your legal privacy rights have been violated in any way, please contact us at khhhhkaseel@gmail.com, and we will take all reasonable and necessary measures to resolve the issue promptly. Additionally, you retain the full right to submit a formal complaint to the competent regulatory authority in your country of residence, country of employment, or the jurisdiction where the alleged privacy violation occurred.
Revised California Privacy Rights
California residents receive enhanced privacy safeguards under the California Consumer Privacy Act, commonly known as the CCPA. The full scope of these additional protections is explained in detail throughout the following content. If you intend to take action to claim your CCPA-related entitlements, please review the later section titled “Exercising Your California Privacy Rights”. This chapter only applies to users residing in California; all other individuals should refer to our main Privacy Policy for applicable terms and data protection rules.
1. Right to Access and Data Disclosure
You are legally eligible to seek full transparency and obtain complete records of all personal information we have gathered about you within the past twelve months. This disclosure right covers four key aspects:
l All unique categories of personal data collected linked to your usage;
l The different source types from which your information was obtained;
l The legitimate business purposes behind every data collection activity;
l Every specific item of personal detail we have stored and maintained on file.
2. Right to Seek Data Removal
You are authorized to submit an official deletion request for any personal records we have collected from you. Once we confirm your request is valid, we will wipe the corresponding data from our internal platforms and instruct our third-party service partners to complete identical deletion procedures. Even so, data deletion is not mandatory in certain legally recognized exceptions. We or our external partners may retain relevant information when necessary to:
l Fulfill service obligations you have actively requested and accepted;
l Diagnose and fix technical errors or system malfunctions;
l Abide by the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act, outlined within California Penal Code Section 1546 and its supplementary provisions;
l Carry out ethical public welfare research, including peer‑reviewed scientific, historical and statistical studies in compliance with privacy regulations;
l Meet mandatory legal duties and official regulatory demands.
3. Data Storage Rules
We may extend the retention period of your personal data if you have given clear authorization and have not since revoked that approval. We are also permitted to prolong data storage to meet official legal standards and regulatory orders. Should we permanently shut down Grove Block Sprint and discontinue all associated functions and services, every piece of personal data held in our systems will be completely and irreversibly deleted.
4. Handling User Data Inquiries
We strive to deliver a formal response to all verified consumer requests within 45 calendar days after submission. In cases where unexpected circumstances cause delays, the overall response window may be extended, with a maximum combined limit of 90 days. We will notify you promptly through email, phone calls or other electronic communication tools, along with a clear explanation for the hold‑up and updated timelines.
Standard data request services are provided free of charge. That said, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for repetitive, unreasonably extensive, or groundless applications. If any fee will apply, we will fully explain the reasoning and present a clear cost breakdown before processing your request.
5. Non‑Discrimination Assurance
We will never apply unfair or differential treatment because you choose to exercise your CCPA privacy rights. We will not block your access to in‑app services, charge unfair pricing, or downgrade your service experience in retaliation for your privacy claims. These additional California privacy protections will not override or change any existing service agreements you have previously agreed to.
6. Minor Data Collection Statement
Grove Block Sprint and all related services are not designed for, nor directed toward, users under the age of 13. We never engage in intentional collection of personal identifiable information from children in this age group. If we discover accidental collection of minor data, we will immediately erase such content from all servers and databases.
Parents or legal guardians who discover their under‑13 child has shared personal details with us may contact us at any time to initiate full data removal. Users between 13 and 16 years old must provide explicit consent for personalized data processing and service usage. Guardians of teenage users in this age range may reach out anytime to raise questions, voice concerns, or submit data management requests.
Rights of EU and UK Residents
Residents of the United Kingdom and any member state of the European Union are granted exclusive privacy protections in line with the European Union’s data protection regulations. A comprehensive breakdown of these special rights is provided below:
l Right to Verify Data Processing and Secure Detailed Explanations: You have the legal right to ask us to provide written confirmation as to whether we are conducting any processing activities related to your personal data. Additionally, you may request thorough, specific details about the personal information we hold and maintain regarding you.
l Right to Access and Amend Personal Data: You are legally entitled to check the accuracy of your personal data and make any required corrections. This ensures that all information stored in our technical systems is always accurate and kept up-to-date.
l Right to Demand Personal Data Deletion: Should you no longer wish for us to store your personal data, you hold the legal right to require its full removal. This request will lead to the permanent and irreversible erasure of the relevant information from all our databases and storage systems.
l Right to Restrict Data Processing: If we do not have a valid legal basis to continue processing all or part of your personal data, you may submit a request to stop these processing activities. This measure is intended to protect your information from inappropriate use or mishandling.
l Right to Data Portability: You may request and receive a copy of the personal data you have shared with us, formatted in a machine-readable way. This format enables you to easily transfer your data to another organization or manage it independently, based on your own preferences.
To exercise any of the rights listed above, please submit an official request via email to khhhhkaseel@gmail.com. We commit to responding to your request within one calendar month of receiving it. If you believe we are failing to comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations, you are fully entitled to file an official complaint with the data protection authority in your country or region.

Children's Privacy Protection
Protecting the personal information of minors is one of our core, non-negotiable principles. We strongly encourage parents and legal guardians to actively monitor and guide their children’s online behavior and use of digital services. If you find that your child has submitted personal data to us without your knowledge or consent, please contact us immediately. Upon receiving your request, we will take prompt and decisive action to permanently delete all relevant information from our servers and records.
Revisions to the Privacy Policy
We may amend or refresh this privacy policy periodically to align with adjustments to our daily operations, technical upgrades, and newly enforced regulatory standards. Revised policy editions will be published directly inside the app or on external distribution platforms that host Grove Block Sprint.
We will take reasonable steps to inform users of policy adjustments via practical communication methods, including in-app alerts and email communications. We encourage you to carefully read through the revised terms once notified of any updates.
Your continued use of the game following policy updates confirms that you acknowledge and fully consent to the modified provisions. Should you disagree with the revised privacy rules, you may stop using our services at your convenience.
