Welcome to Tambola. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

We do not use personal information for profiling or automated decision-making unrelated to the functionality of the application.

3. Local Data Storage

Tambola may store game-related information locally on your device, including generated tickets, game history, preferences, and settings.

Local data generally remains on your device unless you delete the information, clear the application data, or uninstall the application.

Advertising providers may collect limited information such as:

  • Device information
  • Approximate location information
  • Ad interaction information

Advertising providers process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.

5. Analytics and Crash Reporting

Such services may collect technical information including device information, app version, usage events, and crash diagnostics.

6. Third-Party Services

Depending on the version and features of the application, Tambola may use third-party services such as:

  • Google Play Services
  • Google AdMob, if advertising is enabled
  • Firebase Analytics, if enabled
  • Firebase Crashlytics, if enabled

Third-party providers may process information according to their respective privacy policies.

7. Permissions

Tambola is designed to use only the permissions required for its available functionality.

Core Tambola gameplay does not require access to contacts, SMS, phone calls, personal files, or sensitive device information.

If additional permissions are introduced for optional features, they will be requested only when required by that feature.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade users' personal information.

Information may be processed or disclosed only when necessary:

  • To provide services used by the application
  • To comply with applicable laws or legal requirements
  • To prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats
  • To protect our legal rights and users

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or misuse.

However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Children's Privacy

Tambola is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the application, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • Accessing information associated with you
  • Requesting correction of inaccurate information
  • Requesting deletion of applicable information
  • Objecting to certain processing activities
  • Withdrawing consent where applicable

12. Data Retention

Locally stored game information remains on your device until you delete it, clear the application data, or uninstall the app.

Information processed by third-party services is retained according to the policies and retention practices of those providers.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the application, services, or applicable legal requirements.

Any changes will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
