This Privacy Policy explains how GROWTHBRIDGE CONSULTING LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the Mods For Minecraft Android application (the “App”). It applies only to the App. Our corporate website Privacy Policy separately governs the website at growthbridgeconsulting.org.
1. What the app does and how it is built
Mods For Minecraft is a catalog of community-made content for Minecraft Bedrock Edition. It lists skins, maps and addons, previews them, and downloads a chosen pack so that Minecraft can import it. It also carries a section of browser games that run inside the App, described in section 5. Some items unlock by watching a rewarded ad or by spending coins won on the in-app prize wheel. Coins are a scoring device inside the App only. They cannot be bought, sold, or exchanged for anything of value.
The App is a Trusted Web Activity. In practice this means the Android app is a thin shell around a web application that we operate at mods.kez10.com, rendered by the Chrome engine already on your device. Downloading and importing packs is handled by small native screens inside the App. Because the interface is web technology, the data described in this policy is handled partly by our web application and partly by the Android app, and the two behave as one product.
2. Personal data we collect: none
We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, date of birth, photos, contacts, files, or payment details, and the App gives you no way to supply them. There is no registration, no profile, and no login. We do not build a profile about you, and we do not sell personal information.
Under Google Play’s definitions, “collected” means data transmitted off your device to us. We declare no collection because we operate no database of user records and receive no personal data from the App. Our servers necessarily see the ordinary technical details of each request — the IP address it came from, the requested page or pack, a timestamp, and the browser user-agent string — because a web server cannot answer a request without them. That information is used transiently to deliver the response and to protect the service from abuse and attack, it is not linked to any identity or profile, it is not used for advertising, and it is discarded within a short period rather than retained.
Separately from us, the third parties described in the next sections receive data directly from your device. That is a data share, not a collection by us, and it is set out in full below.
3. Data shared with third parties
Advertising and measurement in the App work by sending data from your device straight to Google. We never receive a copy of it. These are the categories involved, using Google Play’s own terminology so that this section and our Data Safety declaration read alike:
App activity
Shared: app interactions (screens opened, packs viewed, games opened, buttons tapped, ads requested, viewed and clicked, rewards granted), installed apps (see section 10), and other actions (in-app events such as completing a spin or finishing a download).
Device or other IDs
Shared: device or other identifiers, including the Android advertising ID, and identifiers stored by Google in cookies or local storage within the web layer. These distinguish one device from another so that ads can be counted, capped and attributed.
App info and performance
Shared: crash logs, diagnostics, and other app performance data, such as errors, load times and rendering problems.
Location
Shared: approximate location, inferred from your IP address. See section 9 — the App never requests Android location permission and cannot read your precise location.
Purposes
Each category above is shared for these purposes and no others:
- App functionality — serving the ads that keep the App free, granting the reward that unlocks an item, delivering pack files, and loading the embedded games
- Analytics — understanding which sections are used and where the App fails
- Advertising or marketing — selecting, capping, measuring and billing ads
- Fraud prevention, security, and compliance — detecting invalid traffic, abuse and reward fraud, and meeting legal obligations
We do not share any of it with data brokers, and we do not disclose it for any purpose outside this list. We may disclose information if we are legally required to, for example in response to a valid legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or the integrity of the service.
4. Who the third parties are
Google Ad Manager (Google LLC) serves every ad in the App, including the banner and rectangle placements, the anchor ad, interstitials, and the rewarded ads used to unlock items. Google acts as our advertising partner and, for parts of this processing, as an independent controller. Its handling of the data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Business Data Responsibility terms. Ad Manager may in turn transmit ad-request data, including your IP address and advertising identifier, to advertisers, demand partners and measurement vendors bidding on that ad.
Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) measures usage of the web layer: which pages are opened, in what order, from what country and on what kind of device. We use it in aggregate to decide what to build and fix. IP addresses are processed by Google for this purpose and are not stored by us.
Google Play (Google LLC) distributes, installs and updates the App, and reports crashes and installation statistics to us in aggregate form that cannot identify you.
Playhop supplies the browser games described in the next section. It is the only third party in the App that is not Google.
Our hosting and delivery providers operate the servers and content-delivery network that store the catalog and the pack files. They process request data strictly on our instructions to deliver those files, as described in section 2.
Beyond these, the App contains no additional SDKs. There is no social-network SDK, no attribution or install-tracking SDK, no A/B-testing SDK, and no third-party crash-reporting service of our own.
5. The embedded games, and what they receive
The App’s Games section lists browser games supplied by Playhop, a third-party games platform. We do not write, host, or operate these games. Their thumbnails load from Playhop’s image servers, and opening a game frames it from Playhop inside the App.
This matters for your privacy, so we state it plainly. While you are looking at the Games list, your device requests thumbnail images from Playhop. When you open a game, your device connects to Playhop and loads the game itself, which then runs its own code on the page. As with any web request, those connections carry your IP address, and the game and its platform may set their own cookies or storage, run their own analytics, and show their own advertising, none of which we control or receive. The games run inside a restricted frame that cannot read the App’s own data — your coins, unlocks and downloads are not visible to them — but that restriction limits what they can reach on your device, not what they can observe about the connection you make to them.
Our arrangement with the provider includes a partner identifier in the address the game is opened from, so that plays originating in this App can be attributed to us. It identifies the App, not you.
Playhop’s own terms and privacy policy govern everything that happens inside a game. If you would rather not connect to a third party at all, simply do not open the Games section: every other part of the App — skins, maps, addons, the prize wheel and downloads — works without it, and no game content loads until you go there.
6. Cookies and similar technologies
Because the interface is a web application, Google’s advertising and analytics scripts may set cookies or write to browser storage on your device to hold the identifiers described in section 3, and an embedded game may do the same within its own frame. The App itself also stores its own data locally, described in section 12. Clearing the App’s storage, as described in section 15, removes all of it.
7. Advertising and how to control it
Ads pay for the App, so they cannot be removed entirely, but you decide whether they are personalized.
- On your device: open Settings → Google → Ads (the exact path varies by manufacturer) and choose Delete advertising ID or Opt out of Ads Personalization. Google then stops using the identifier to personalize ads across apps, including this one.
- In your Google account: adjust Google Ads Settings.
- If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland: a consent message is presented through Google’s certified consent-management platform before personalized advertising is used. You may refuse or withdraw consent at any time, and ads then continue in non-personalized form. Non-personalized ads still require a limited amount of data — such as coarse location and the request context — to be served, capped and protected against fraud.
- If you are in a US state with an opt-out right: see section 20.
Rewarded ads are always optional. Nothing in the App is gated behind an ad you cannot avoid: every locked item can also be unlocked with coins, and the wheel that awards coins is free to spin. Advertising shown by a third-party game inside the Games section is that provider’s, not ours, and the device-level control above is the setting that reaches it.
8. Analytics and how to opt out
Usage measurement runs through Google Analytics 4. If you would rather not be measured, opting out of ads personalization as described in section 7 also limits what analytics can associate with your device. Android’s Usage & diagnostics setting, and your device’s data-saving or tracking-restriction settings, further limit what leaves your device. Clearing the App’s storage removes the local analytics identifier, after which your device is counted as new.
9. Why “approximate location” appears
The App declares no location permission of any kind, neither ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION nor ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION. Android will never ask you to share your location with it, and it cannot read GPS, Wi-Fi or cell-tower positioning.
Approximate location is disclosed because every internet request carries an IP address, and Google derives a coarse region from it — typically at country or city level — to decide which ads may lawfully be shown, to apply regional privacy rules, and to filter invalid traffic. This is an inference made from network metadata, not a reading of your device’s location sensors.
10. Why “installed apps” appears
The App’s Android manifest contains a single queries entry for com.mojang.minecraftpe. That entry lets the App ask Android one question: is Minecraft installed? The answer decides whether the App offers to hand a downloaded pack directly to Minecraft or shows you manual import steps instead. The App cannot see, list, or report any other app on your device.
The category is nevertheless declared as shared because advertising and analytics providers may derive app-related signals of this kind as part of an ad request. We disclose the category rather than argue the edge case.
11. Crash logs, diagnostics and performance
We do not operate a crash-reporting service and receive no crash report tied to your device. Crash and performance data arises in three places outside our control: Android and Google Play generate operating-system-level crash and ANR reports, subject to your device’s Usage & diagnostics setting; the Chrome engine that renders the App reports its own errors under Chrome’s settings; and Google’s ad and analytics scripts report script errors, load failures and timing data. Google Play Console shows us only anonymous, aggregated stability statistics.
12. Data stored on your device
Your progress lives on your device, in the App’s private storage, and is never uploaded to us:
- Your coin balance, spin history and the list of items you have unlocked
- A record of which packs you have downloaded, so the App can show them as ready
- Small preference flags, such as whether the App is running inside its Android shell and whether ad debugging is enabled
- A cache of pages and images maintained by the service worker so the App opens quickly
- The pack files themselves, saved in the App’s own download folder until you delete them
None of this is readable by other apps, and none of it is transmitted to us. Because we never receive it, we cannot retrieve, restore or delete it for you — but you can, at any time, as described in section 15.
13. Permissions the app requests
Mods For Minecraft requests no runtime permissions. You will never be prompted to grant it storage, location, camera, microphone, contacts, or notification access.
It declares one install-time permission, android.permission.INTERNET, which is required to load the catalog, show ads, load the embedded games, and download packs. Alongside it sits the queries entry described in section 10, which is not a permission and grants no access to your data.
14. Handing packs to Minecraft, and other apps you reach
When you install a pack, the App passes the downloaded file to Minecraft through Android’s standard sharing mechanism, and Minecraft opens its own import screen. From that moment the file is Minecraft’s, and Mojang Studios’ and Microsoft’s terms and privacy policies govern what happens next. We are not a party to it and receive nothing back.
Tapping an ad, or a link to this policy or our support address, hands you to your browser, your email app, or the advertiser’s destination. Those destinations are outside this policy and operate under their own terms. Mods For Minecraft is an unofficial application and is not approved by, associated with, or endorsed by Mojang Studios or Microsoft Corporation.
15. Deleting your data
You are in complete control and need neither our involvement nor our approval:
- Clear everything at once through Android’s Settings → Apps → Mods For Minecraft → Storage → Clear storage. This empties the App’s local database, cached pages, advertising and analytics identifiers held in the web layer, any storage written by an embedded game, and preference flags, resetting coins and unlocks to their starting state.
- Delete the advertising ID entirely in Settings → Google → Ads, as described in section 7.
- Uninstall the App, which removes its private storage together with anything cached inside it. Pack files already imported into Minecraft, and files you saved elsewhere, must be deleted in that app.
Deletion on your device is immediate and permanent, and we hold no server-side copy or backup to restore. Because the App has no accounts, there is no account for us to delete. If you would like data that a third party may hold about your device deleted, contact that provider — for Google, use Google My Activity and the ad controls above. You may also write to [email protected] and we will help you identify the right route.
16. Data retention
We retain no user records, because we hold none. Technical request data as described in section 2 is retained only briefly, for delivery and security purposes, and is then discarded. Data held by Google as a result of advertising and analytics is retained under Google’s own retention schedules, which you can review in the Google Privacy Policy. Data held by the games provider is retained under its own schedule. Support correspondence you send us is kept only as long as needed to resolve the matter and to meet ordinary legal and record-keeping obligations.
17. If you email us
Writing to us is optional and happens in your own email app. When you do, we receive your email address, whatever you put in the message, and any attachment. We use it solely to understand and answer your request. We do not add you to a marketing list, build a profile from your message, or pass it to advertisers or data brokers.
18. Security
Every connection the App makes — to our catalog, to the pack files, to Google’s ad and analytics endpoints, and to the games provider — uses HTTPS with TLS encryption, so data is encrypted in transit. Local data benefits from Android’s application sandbox, which prevents other installed apps from reading it, and from device encryption where your device has it enabled. Embedded games run in a restricted frame that cannot read the App’s own stored data.
The App has no account credentials to steal, and we operate no database of user records that could be breached. The most meaningful protection is the device itself: keep a screen lock enabled, keep Android updated, and install the App only from Google Play. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
19. Children’s privacy
Mods For Minecraft is intended for a general audience of teenagers and adults aged 13 and over. It is not directed to children under 13, is not enrolled in the Google Play Families program, and is not designed or marketed for children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 — we collect no personal information from anyone — and we do not knowingly permit personalized advertising to be served to a user we know to be under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 13 has used the App and that data about them has been shared with our advertising partner, contact [email protected]. We will act promptly, delete any information we hold, and help you exercise the deletion and opt-out routes in sections 7 and 15. Parents and guardians can also use Google Family Link and Android’s parental controls to restrict app installation, ad personalization and purchases.
20. Your privacy rights
EEA, UK and Switzerland
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to processing. Our legal bases are your consent for personalized advertising and for non-essential analytics, gathered through the consent message described in section 7 and withdrawable at any time; and our legitimate interests in delivering the service you requested, keeping it secure, preventing ad fraud, and responding to your messages. Because we hold no personal data about you, requests concerning the App usually resolve on your device or with Google, and we will tell you exactly where to direct them. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Data may be processed on servers in the United States and other countries; where personal data is transferred out of the EEA or UK, the relevant transfer is made under the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful mechanism relied on by the provider concerned.
California
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, we do not sell personal information for money. However, the advertising described in section 3 involves disclosing identifiers, internet activity and coarse geolocation to Google for cross-context behavioral advertising, and the statute treats that as “sharing.” We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. You have the right to know, delete, correct, and to opt out of sharing. To opt out, use the device-level control in section 7, which stops cross-app ad personalization at its source, or write to [email protected]. We honor Global Privacy Control signals sent by a browser where they are transmitted to us. Exercising a privacy right will never result in discriminatory treatment. Our Privacy Choices page has further detail.
Other US states
Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws, including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas and others, have comparable rights to access, delete, correct and opt out of targeted advertising. The same routes apply: the device control in section 7, or a message to our privacy address. You may appeal a decision we make on a request by replying to our response.
21. Google Play Data Safety disclosure
Our Data Safety declaration in Google Play Console matches this policy. For Mods For Minecraft we declare:
- Data collected: none. No data is collected to our own servers.
- Data shared: App activity (app interactions, installed apps, other actions); Device or other IDs; App info and performance (crash logs, diagnostics, other app performance data); Location (approximate location).
- Purposes for all shared data: app functionality, analytics, advertising or marketing, and fraud prevention, security and compliance.
- Data handling: data is encrypted in transit. The App has no account system, so there is no account-deletion route; you can delete all locally stored data by clearing App storage or uninstalling, as described in section 15.
Should a future release change any of this, we will update the Data Safety form and this page together before publishing it.
22. Changes to this policy
We will update this Privacy Policy if the App’s behaviour, our data practices, or the applicable legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date above always reflects the current revision. If a change is material — a new SDK, a new data category, accounts, or purchases — we will revise this page and the corresponding Google Play Data Safety disclosures before the affected version reaches you, and note the change in the Play listing’s release notes. The App links to this page from its Settings screen, so the current version is always one tap away.
