Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

PlayMate is an offline gaming companion application developed by Sundram Gupta under the developer identity Sundramdotdev.

PlayMate provides gaming utilities such as dice rolling, coin tossing, team generation, score tracking, cricket scoring, spin wheels, tournament tools, timers, match history, statistics, and other related utilities.

We respect your privacy and aim to collect and use only the information reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the application.

2. Information We Handle

Depending on the version of PlayMate you use and the features enabled in that version, the application may handle the following categories of information.

The exact information handled may change as PlayMate evolves. This policy will be updated when material changes are made to the application's data practices.

3. Data Stored on Your Device

PlayMate is designed with offline functionality in mind. Information created while using local features may be stored directly on your device.

Examples may include:

• Game scores and match results.
• Player names entered by you.
• Match history.
• Player statistics.
• Application preferences and settings.
• Other locally generated game information.

Locally stored information is controlled by the application and remains on your device unless a feature explicitly transmits it to an external service.

Removing the application may remove locally stored application data, depending on your device's operating system and backup settings.

4. Analytics and Diagnostics

Where analytics or crash-reporting services are enabled in your version of PlayMate, these services may receive technical and usage information to help us understand application performance and improve reliability.

This information may include items such as:

• Application version and build information.
• Operating system and device information.
• Crash reports and diagnostic information.
• General feature or interaction information.
• Technical information required to identify application errors.

Analytics and diagnostic information is used for purposes such as understanding feature usage, identifying bugs, improving stability, monitoring performance, and maintaining the application.

5. Firebase and Third-Party Services

PlayMate may use services provided by Google Firebase or other third-party service providers for application infrastructure, analytics, crash diagnostics, configuration, authentication, or other functionality when those services are enabled.

Depending on the features enabled in a particular release, relevant Firebase services may include:

• Firebase Analytics.
• Firebase Crashlytics.
• Firebase Remote Config.
• Firebase Authentication.
• Firebase Cloud Firestore.
• Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Not every service listed above is necessarily active in every version of PlayMate. Services are only used when required by the functionality implemented in the relevant release.

Third-party providers process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. You can review Google's privacy practices through the official Google Privacy Policy .

6. Device Permissions

PlayMate is designed to request only permissions that are necessary for implemented functionality.

Depending on the features included in a particular release, the application may use standard Android or iOS capabilities such as network access, notifications, or vibration/haptic feedback.

PlayMate does not intentionally request access to contacts, microphone, camera, precise location, or other sensitive device information unless a future feature specifically requires it and the appropriate disclosure and permission process is implemented.

7. How Information Is Used

Information handled by PlayMate may be used for the following purposes:

• To provide and operate PlayMate's features.
• To save your locally created gaming information.
• To maintain application functionality.
• To diagnose crashes and technical problems.
• To understand general application usage.
• To improve application performance and reliability.
• To protect the application against abuse or misuse.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not use personal information for purposes unrelated to the operation or improvement of PlayMate unless the purpose is disclosed to you or required by applicable law.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

Information may be processed by third-party service providers when those providers are required to operate specific PlayMate functionality, provide analytics or diagnostics, deliver infrastructure services, or comply with legal requirements.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or legal process.
• Protect the rights, safety, and security of users.
• Detect, prevent, or investigate abuse or security issues.
• Protect the security and integrity of PlayMate.

Information that remains solely on your device is not shared with us unless you explicitly use a feature that transmits that information.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Local information

Information stored locally by PlayMate generally remains on your device until you delete it through the application, clear the application's data, or uninstall the application, subject to your device's operating system and backup behavior.

Service-related information

Information processed by third-party services may be retained according to the applicable service provider's retention practices and our legitimate operational requirements.

Deletion requests

If a future PlayMate feature provides an account or server-side data storage, PlayMate will provide an appropriate mechanism for users to request deletion of eligible account-associated information.

For privacy-related deletion questions, you may contact the developer using the contact information provided below.

10. Security

We take reasonable measures intended to protect information handled by PlayMate against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Security measures may include limiting data collection, keeping dependencies and services updated, using secure communication channels where applicable, and restricting access to information to legitimate operational purposes.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

PlayMate is a general-purpose gaming utility application and is not specifically directed toward children under the age required by applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable privacy laws.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through PlayMate in a manner that requires deletion, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.

12. Third-Party Links and Services

PlayMate may contain links to third-party websites or services, for example developer pages, documentation, or external resources.

Once you leave PlayMate and access a third-party service, that service's own privacy policy and terms apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites and services.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to PlayMate, its features, applicable laws, or the services used by the application.

When changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be updated.

Continued use of PlayMate after an updated Privacy Policy becomes available means that you acknowledge the updated policy, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
