Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 October 2026
Brickaboo is made for children. It asks nothing about them, and keeps only what playing with friends online needs.
At a glance
- No adverts
- No analytics
- No tracking
- No chat, no voice
- Never asks a name or an age
- A grown-up is asked first
The short version. The full policy below is what applies.
What we collect
There are no adverts, no analytics and no tracking. Coins, sets and models are kept on the device, and in the family's own device backups. Only playing with friends online keeps anything on our server.
No questions about you
The game asks one thing: how much help to give when building. It never asks for a name, an age or a birthday.
The camera and photos
The camera is used only to show a finished model in your room. Nothing it sees is recorded or sent anywhere. A photo is saved to Photos only when the player takes one.
Buying sets
A grown-up can buy the big sets. Apple takes the payment; we never see any payment details.
New sets
From time to time the game asks this website whether there are new sets to build, and fetches them. The request carries nothing about the player, the device or the game, and only sets we have signed are shown.
Our hosting company, Railway, keeps the internet address and time of each request in its logs for a limited time, as web hosts do; we do not use them to follow anyone.
Playing with friends online
A grown-up answers a question before a child first plays with friends online, and can switch it off in Settings.
To know it is the same player each time, the game signs in with Apple's Game Center: our server receives the player number Game Center gives our games, and a random number the game makes once on the device, so that each device is a player of its own.
The server keeps both with the player's profile and never shows them to anyone.
It uses them to sign in, and the Game Center number also for limits that keep children safe: one Game Center account can play on ten devices at most and try only a few friend codes a minute, and for a day after a child says no to its request, it cannot ask that child again.
The profile also holds a made-up name from our word lists (no child types a name), a friend code, the look of their character, their friends and friend requests, and when the profile was made and last used.
Friends see each other's made-up name and character, and whether they are playing or building.
Friends are added only by typing a friend's code: there is no searching for players, no chat, no voice and no photos, and Game Center names are never shown.
While friends build together, the moves of the shared build pass through our server to the other players; it does not read or keep them.
Our server and its database run at our hosting company, Railway, which keeps the internet address of each connection in its logs for a limited time, as web hosts do; we do not use them to follow anyone.
Keeping and deleting
Everything the game saves is on the device: “Erase the whole game” in Settings clears it, and deleting the app removes it, except the sign-in for playing with friends online, which the device's keychain can keep even after the app is deleted.
The family's own device backups are managed in the device's settings.
A profile for playing with friends online is kept while it is used and deleted after 12 months without use; “Delete my online profile” in Settings deletes it at once, with the friends list.
Only one thing can stay a little longer: if a child said no to a request from it, the note of that no, with the Game Center number, is kept until its day is up, then deleted.
Your rights
A grown-up can ask us at any time to see, correct or delete what the online profile holds, or to stop using it, by writing to brickaboosupport@gmail.com; switching “Play with friends online” off in Settings stops any further collection, and “Delete my online profile” deletes the profile at once.
We keep the profile only to run the friends feature a grown-up switched on. Railway, our hosting company, stores it for us in the EU (in Amsterdam), uses it only on our instructions and protects it as this policy does.
Families in the EU or UK can also complain to their data-protection authority.
Children's privacy
Brickaboo is made for children, so it asks nothing about them: no real name, no age, no email and no password. Buying a set, the first use of the camera or photos, and the first time playing with friends online each ask a grown-up first.
