Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 14, 2026
Spellblocks is a word puzzle game made by Wise Guys Collective LLC ("we", "us"), released under the Outpost Boyz label. This policy explains what information is involved when you play, who handles it, and your choices. We built the game to work without collecting personal information ourselves.
No account needed
You don't create an account with us, and we don't ask for your name, email address, or contact details to play.
What stays on your device
Your games in progress, scores, best score, daily streak, level, words you've made, and settings (sound, haptics, app icon) are saved on your iPhone so you can pick up where you left off. This saved game data stays on your device (apart from the anonymous stats described below). Deleting the app deletes it.
Game Center (Apple)
Leaderboards and friend rankings use Apple's Game Center. If you're signed in to Game Center, your scores and Game Center nickname are shared with Apple so they can appear on leaderboards, including to your Game Center friends. Apple handles this under Apple's Privacy Policy. You can sign out of Game Center or change who sees your activity in your iPhone's Settings.
Purchases (Apple)
The optional Remove Ads purchase is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment details. The app only checks with Apple whether Remove Ads is owned on your account so it can turn ads off.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
If you haven't bought Remove Ads, Spellblocks shows ads provided by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect information such as your device type, operating system, IP address, approximate location derived from it, and how you interact with ads. Google may use your device's advertising identifier only if you give permission when iOS asks. You can learn how Google uses this information at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
- You can limit ad tracking anytime in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking on your iPhone.
- Buying Remove Ads turns off all ads in the game.
- Where required (for example, in the EU and UK), you'll be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown.
Anonymous usage analytics (PostHog)
To learn how the game is played and what to improve, Spellblocks sends anonymous usage events to PostHog, our analytics provider. These include things like starting or finishing a game, the mode, your score and level, how many words and lines you cleared, level-ups, tapping Share or the leaderboard, and whether you opened or completed the Remove Ads purchase, along with basic app and device details (app version, iOS version, device model).
- Events are tied to a random ID created by the app, not to your name, email, Apple Account, or Game Center profile.
- We don't use this data for advertising or to track you across other apps and websites.
- You can turn it off anytime in the game under Settings › Privacy › Share anonymous usage data.
PostHog processes this data on our behalf under PostHog's Privacy Policy.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your personal information.
- We don't ask for or store your name, email, or contacts.
- We don't post anything on your behalf.
Sharing your score
When you tap Share, the game creates a short text summary of your score. It only goes where you choose to send it, using your iPhone's share sheet.
Children
Spellblocks is a general-audience game and isn't directed to children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents who want an ad-free experience can use the Remove Ads purchase.
Changes
If we change how Spellblocks handles information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
