Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026  |  Last Updated: October 31, 2026

Pink Hornet (operating as 23-Steps / TwentyThreeSteps, referred to in this policy as "Pink Hornet", "23-Steps", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose information when you install or play our mobile games—including Block Builder (com.TwentyThreeSteps.BlockBuilder), Mine and Dungeon (com.TwentyThreeSteps.MineDungeon), and Skyblock Dungeon (com.TwentyThreeSteps.SkyblockDungeon)—or interact with our website and services.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on the features you use in Block Builder, Mine and Dungeon, or Skyblock Dungeon, we and our integrated third-party service providers may collect the following categories of data:

• Device & Technical Information: Device model, operating system version, language setting, country/region, crash logs, diagnostics, and performance metrics used for stability, analytics, and debugging.
• Gameplay & Progress Data: Level completion records, build times, scores, unlocked items/pets/island themes, in-game currency balances, settings, and ghost replay data for asynchronous 1v1 races.
• Account & Player Identifiers: Anonymous player IDs, PlayFab Title Player IDs, display names/nicknames you choose in-game, or Google Play Games Services player IDs (if you sign in).
• Purchase & Transaction History: When you make in-app purchases (such as Shard packs or Remove Ads in Block Builder) via Google Play Billing, transaction receipts and product identifiers are processed to validate and deliver your purchase. We do not collect or store your credit card or banking details; all payment processing is handled securely by Google Play.
• Advertising Data: When advertisements are displayed (via Google AdMob or Unity Ads), advertising identifiers (such as the Google Advertising ID) and coarse interaction data may be collected by those ad networks to serve ads, prevent fraud, and measure ad performance.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for the following purposes:

• App Functionality: To operate Block Builder, Mine and Dungeon, and Skyblock Dungeon, save your progress locally and in the cloud, provide leaderboards and ghost races, and deliver in-app purchases.
• Analytics & Game Improvement: To diagnose crashes, fix bugs, optimize performance, and balance level difficulty.
• Advertising & Monetization: To display banner, interstitial, or rewarded video advertisements (unless disabled via an in-app "Remove Ads" purchase) and verify Google Play Billing receipts.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: To validate in-app purchase receipts and prevent unauthorized access or cheating on leaderboards.

3. Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Our games (Block Builder, Mine and Dungeon, and Skyblock Dungeon) integrate trusted third-party SDKs that process data in accordance with their own privacy policies:

• Google Play Services & Google Play Billing: Used for app distribution, in-app purchases, and optional Google Play Games sign-in (Google Privacy Policy).
• Microsoft Azure PlayFab: Used for anonymous player authentication, cloud save data, leaderboards, ghost race replays, and purchase receipt validation (Microsoft Privacy Statement).
• Google AdMob: Used to display advertisements in our free-to-play games (Google Ads Policy).
• Unity Engine & Unity IAP / Unity Ads: Used for game runtime, in-app purchase handling, and ad delivery (Unity Privacy Policy).

4. Data Security & Retention

All data transmitted between our games (including Block Builder) and third-party backend services (such as PlayFab and Google Play) is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. We retain gameplay and account data only for as long as necessary to provide our game services to you or until you request deletion of your data.

5. Your Rights & Data / Account Deletion

You have the right to access, update, or request the permanent deletion of your account and any associated personal or gameplay data from Block Builder, Mine and Dungeon, or Skyblock Dungeon at any time:

• You may request data or account deletion at any time by visiting our dedicated Account & Data Deletion page.
• You may also email us directly at ngcognpal@gmail.com with your game name (e.g., Block Builder or Mine and Dungeon) and Player ID / nickname, and we will permanently delete your data within 30 days.
• You can reset or opt out of personalized advertising identifiers at any time in your Android device's settings under Settings > Google > Ads.

6. Children's Privacy

Our games are intended for a general audience and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will promptly delete that information. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information may contact us at ngcognpal@gmail.com.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new game features or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page (https://23-steps.com/privacy-policy.html) with an updated "Last Updated" date.
