Tetromatik: Number Drop Puzzle
In short: Tetromatik has no ads and does not track you. We (the developer) do not collect personal information; the only thing the App downloads from us is a short list of current offers. Your scores, settings and Zer balance are kept on your device (and in your device's backup, if you use one). Optional Zer packs are bought through Google Play or the App Store, which handle the payment. On Android, if you allow notifications, the App shows a notice when a new version is available on Google Play; it is created on your phone itself.
1. Who we are
Tetromatik ("the App") is a puzzle game for Android and for iPhone and iPad (iOS) developed by For The Fun Game Studio ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the App handles, who handles it and why.
2. Information we collect
We do not collect any personal information ourselves. The App has no account or sign-in, does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location, and sends nothing about you to us. The only thing it downloads from our website is the list of current offers described in section 7.
3. Information stored on your device
The App saves your best scores, the daily-challenge result, game statistics (such as the number of games played), your settings (music, sound, vibration and helpers), your Zer balance (the in-game currency) and which new version it last told you about in the App's private storage on your device. We do not receive it, and it is removed when you uninstall the App.
Backups. On Android, if backup is on in your phone's settings, Android copies the App's data file to the backup of your Google account. On iPhone and iPad, the App's data is part of your iCloud Backup or your computer's backup of the device, if you use one. This lets your scores and Zer come back on a new device or after a reinstall. Google and Apple keep these copies under your account and its settings; we do not receive them.
4. No advertising
The App shows no ads, contains no advertising SDK, does not use the advertising ID and does not track you. Earlier versions showed ads served by Google AdMob (on Android the versions released before October 2026, on iPhone and iPad version 23). Updating the App removes them, together with the advertising ID permission on Android and the tracking question on iPhone and iPad.
5. In-app purchases (Google Play and App Store)
Zer, the App's currency, is earned by playing and can be spent on a second chance after a game over or on power-ups. Optional Zer packs can be bought with Google Play Billing on Android and Apple's App Store (StoreKit) on iPhone and iPad. Payment details are entered in and processed by Google or Apple; we never see or receive them. The App asks the store about your purchases only to add the Zer you bought. Players who bought the earlier "Remove ads" purchase (no longer sold) receive a one-time Zer gift; on iPhone and iPad the "Restore purchases" button in the Zer shop finds that purchase on a new device. The stores provide us with standard transaction records (such as the product, the price and the country) for accounting, refunds and support. See the Google Play Terms of Service and Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
6. Ratings
The App may show the store's built-in rating prompt (Google Play In-App Review on Android, Apple's rating prompt on iPhone and iPad). It is provided and controlled by Google or Apple, and we receive no personal information through it.
7. Updates and notifications
On iPhone and iPad updates come from the App Store, and the App shows no notifications and does not ask for the notification permission. The rest of this section is about Android.
When a newer version of the App is available on Google Play, the App shows an "Update now" button that opens Google Play's update screen (Google Play In-App Updates). Once a day, when your phone has a network connection, Android's job scheduler also lets the App ask Google Play whether a newer version exists. If one does, and you have allowed notifications, the App shows one quiet notice for that version; tapping it opens Google Play's update screen. The check goes only to Google Play and sends nothing about you to us.
Besides the new-version notice, the App may show two other kinds of notifications on Android:
- Daily puzzle reminders. If you have not played for a few days, the App may remind you of the Daily puzzle: at most three times (2, 5 and 10 days after you last played), at the hour you usually play. Playing again starts the count over, so if you play regularly you get none.
- Offers and news. When you open the App, and once a day with the new-version check, the App downloads a short list of the studio's current offers (for example a limited-time Zer bonus) from our website, forthefungamestudio.com. When an offer on the list starts, the App may show one notice about it. The download sends nothing about you: like any website, our server only sees the request and its IP address, which we do not use. You can turn offers off in the App (Settings, Notifications, "Offers and news").
On Android 13 and later the App asks for the notification permission once, on the main screen after your first game; if you decline, it shows no notifications. These are local notifications created by your phone: there is no push service, no server of ours and no notification ID. You can turn them off at any time in your phone's settings (Settings, Apps, Tetromatik, Notifications), together or by category ("App updates", "Game reminders", "Offers and news").
8. Permissions
On Android:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Reaching Google Play for purchases and updates, and downloading the offer list (section 7). The game itself works offline. |
com.android.vending.BILLING | Lets Google Play handle the optional Zer packs. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Lets the App show the new-version notice described in section 7, only if you allow it. |
The only runtime permission the App asks for is the notification permission above. It does not request access to the camera, microphone, contacts, location or storage.
On iPhone and iPad the App shows no permission prompts. Internet access and in-app purchases need no permission there.
Vibration uses the system's standard touch feedback and can be turned off in the App's settings.
9. Children
Tetromatik is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us (for example by email), contact us and we will delete it.
10. Your rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and similar laws)
We do not hold personal information about you from the App, so there is generally nothing for us to access, correct or delete. Purchase records are kept by Google or Apple under their own policies. For data Google processed for the ads in earlier versions you can use My Ad Center. We do not sell personal information. If you email us, we use your message only to reply and delete it when it is no longer needed.
11. Security and retention
Game data stays in the App's private storage until you uninstall the App; a copy in your device's backup (section 3) follows your Google or Apple backup settings. Purchase records are retained by Google or Apple according to their policies, and data Google processed for the ads in earlier versions according to Google's policies.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy, for example when the App adds new features. The "Last updated" date above shows when it last changed.
