Privacy policy

Last updated: 7 September 2026

The short version

Pixel Cade has no accounts, no sign-in and no server of its own. Your progress is saved on your phone and nowhere else. The only company that receives anything about you is Google, because the game shows ads through Google AdMob.

Who this covers

This policy covers the Android app Pixel Cade (com.pixelminerinc.pixelcade), published by BlackenedEDIT, and this website. "We" and "the app" mean that app.

What the app stores on your device

The app keeps a single save file in its own private storage on your phone. It holds:

None of this is sent to us. There is no Pixel Cade server to send it to. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

One thing worth knowing: the app allows Android's own backup system to include its save file. If you have Google's device backup switched on, a copy of your Pixel Cade progress may be stored in your Google account along with the rest of your phone's backup. That backup belongs to you and is governed by Google's terms — we cannot see it or read it. You can turn it off in your phone's Settings → Google → Backup.

What we collect about you

Nothing. The game contains no analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking pixels and no code that sends information anywhere. We do not know who you are, we do not know that you installed the game, and we could not identify you if we wanted to.

Advertising

The app shows ads through Google AdMob. There are two kinds:

There are no forced ads anywhere else, and nothing in the game is locked behind watching one.

To show and count those ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK inside the app collects information directly — it does not pass through us. That typically includes your device's advertising ID, information about your device and app, coarse location derived from your IP address, and records of ads you were shown and interacted with. Google uses this to serve ads, measure them and prevent fraud.

What Google does with it is described here:

You can limit this from your phone. In Settings → Privacy → Ads (the exact path varies by manufacturer) you can reset your advertising ID, or delete it entirely — on recent Android versions, deleting it stops apps from receiving it at all. You will still see ads; they will just be less personalised.

Permissions, and why each one exists

INTERNET
Fetching ads. The game itself works fully offline.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
Letting the ads SDK see whether there is a connection before it tries.
VIBRATE
The short haptic buzz on taps and wins. Can be turned off in Settings.
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID
Access to the advertising ID, required by Google to serve ads.

The app asks for no runtime permissions at all. It does not use your location, camera, microphone, contacts, files, or any other sensor.

Children

Pixel Cade is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone — of any age. If you are a parent and have a question about the ads your child is being shown, please get in touch using the link below.

Your rights

Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing on our side to access, correct, export or delete. Requests about the data Google holds against your advertising ID should go to Google, using the links in the Advertising section above; you can also clear the connection between your device and that data at any time by resetting or deleting the advertising ID in your phone's settings.

To remove everything the app has stored locally, uninstall it, or use Settings → Apps → Pixel Cade → Storage → Clear data.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever starts collecting something, this page will say so before that version ships, and the date at the top will change. Previous versions of this page are in the public commit history, so you can see exactly what changed and when.

Contact

Pixel Cade is made by one person. Questions about this policy, or about anything the app does, are welcome at github.com/BlackenedEDIT/Pixelcade/issues.
