Block Art for Minecraft (“the App”) turns your photos into pixel art made of Minecraft blocks. It is built so that your photos and pictures stay on your device.
When you choose or take a photo, the App reads it only to make your picture. All processing happens on your device. Your photos are never uploaded to us or to anyone else. The App can only see the photos you pick; on iOS you can limit access to selected photos at any time in Settings.
The App saves your pictures (a copy of the photo you used, your frame and settings, and a small preview), your survival build progress and coordinates, and your preferences. This data stays on your device and is removed when you delete a picture or delete the App. It may be included in your device's own backups, which are managed by Apple or Google under their policies.
The App does not require an account. To keep it working and improve it, it collects limited technical information automatically: device type and operating system, app version, anonymized usage events (for example, that a picture was created or exported, with its size), crash reports, and, where you allow it, advertising identifiers. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and whatever you write. Your photos and pictures are never part of this information.
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used and Firebase Crashlytics to find and fix crashes. These services receive the technical information described above, identified by a random app-instance identifier.
The App shows ads from Google AdMob: banner and full-screen ads on Android, and optional rewarded ads (you choose to watch one to unlock an extra export) on both platforms. Ads are never shown to Premium users. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and the UK), we ask for your consent before ads are personalized, and you can change your choice at any time under Settings → Privacy options. On iOS, the App asks for permission before using your device’s advertising identifier; if you decline, ads are not personalized.
When you share a picture, a block list or a printable pattern, or export a world or pack to Minecraft, the file is passed to the app or person you choose through your device's share sheet. We do not see or store these files.
If you allow notifications, the App schedules reminders on your device. They are local notifications: no server is involved and no data is sent anywhere. You can turn them off in the App or in your device settings.
Premium is sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play, which process payments. We do not receive or store your payment details. We use Qonversion to verify purchases and restore them on your devices; it receives store receipts and an anonymous user identifier.
We do not sell your personal data. Limited technical data is shared only with the service providers named above (Google Firebase, Google AdMob and Qonversion), each acting under its own privacy terms, and only for the purposes described here.
Analytics and crash data are kept for the retention periods of the providers (Google Analytics data for up to 14 months). We keep emails only as long as needed to help you.
The App contains links to our website, the App Store and Google Play. Those services have their own privacy policies.
The App is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
You may ask us to access, correct or delete information about you by contacting us at the address below. You can reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, you also have the rights provided by the GDPR and equivalent laws, including the right to complain to your supervisory authority.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always available at this page, with its effective date shown above.
