Privacy Policy

This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Block Blast Solver. In short: the solver runs entirely in your browser, and the site currently has no accounts, ads, analytics, or cookies.

Who runs this site

Block Blast Solver is run by an independent developer. It isn't affiliated with Hungry Studio or the makers of Block Blast. Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page.

Summary

As the site works today:

  • No accounts or sign-up.
  • No advertising.
  • No analytics or tracking tools.
  • No cookies set by this site.
  • The board and pieces you enter stay in your browser and are not sent to a server.
  • Screenshots you choose are read on your device and are never uploaded or saved.
  • The only personal information you can send is what you choose to type into the contact form (see below).

The solver: your board and pieces

When you enter a board and pieces and press Solve, the calculation runs on your own device, inside your web browser. Your board, your pieces, and the results are not uploaded, saved on a server, or shared with anyone. They're cleared when you close or reload the page.

Screenshots

If you use the screenshot feature, the image you choose is opened and analyzed by your own browser, on your device. It isn't uploaded to a server, sent to any outside service, saved, or used for anything other than reading your board and pieces. While you review the result, your browser shows the image from a temporary copy in its memory, which is released when you load or discard the result or leave the page.

Information stored on your device

If you use the light/dark theme button, the site remembers your choice in your browser's local storage under the name bbs-theme, with the value “light” or “dark.” This stays on your device, isn't sent to us, and isn't used to identify you. You can remove it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this website. The site works the same without it.

The contact form

If you send a message through the contact form, the information you enter (your email address, your message, and your name if you include it) is sent from your browser to Web3Forms, a form-delivery service. Web3Forms forwards it by email to the site's owner. The owner's email address isn't shown on the site.

Web3Forms is a third-party service used to process and deliver contact-form submissions. For information about how Web3Forms handles data submitted through its service, see its Privacy Policy.

Your message is used only to read and reply to it. It isn't sold, used for marketing, or added to a mailing list. Please don't include sensitive personal information in your message.

Hosting and server logs

Block Blast Solver is hosted by Netlify. When you access the website, Netlify may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser and device information, and service-usage data to provide, secure, and maintain its hosting services. Netlify's handling of this information is subject to its Privacy Statement. Log types and retention periods may vary depending on the service and plan. This hosting-related technical information does not include the board or pieces you enter.

Our guides link to outside sources, including the Block Blast App Store listing and Pocket Gamer. When you follow those links, you leave this site, and those websites' own privacy policies apply.

Children's privacy

This site is meant for a general audience and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you're under 13, please don't send personal information through the contact form. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your choices

  • You can use the solver without giving any personal information.
  • You can clear the saved theme setting at any time in your browser settings.
  • If you've sent a message, you can ask through the contact page for it to be deleted from the owner's inbox.

Changes to this policy

This policy describes the site as it works today. It will be reviewed and updated before the site adds analytics, advertising, new forms, or any other feature that changes how information is handled. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed.

If advertising is added in the future, this policy will first be updated to name the advertising provider and explain what it collects, including any cookies it uses and the choices available to you. Ads won't be turned on until that update is published and any consent notice they require is in place. Your board, pieces, and screenshots will continue to be processed in your browser and won't be shared with advertisers.
