Privacy policy
for Bharat Ludo
भारत लूडो · गोपनीयता नीति
What stays on your phone
The app saves the following in private storage on the device. It is not uploaded.
- The name you type
- A profile photo you choose, after the app shrinks it
- Coin balance, daily gift and daily spin counts
- Wins, losses and tokens captured
- Sound, music, vibration, reminder and language settings
- Optional gender, if you choose to give it. It is never sent to ads or analytics.
Uninstalling the app deletes this data. There is no Bharat Joy account and no game server, so there is nothing of yours to delete on our side. See the data deletion page.
Ads (Google AdMob)
Bharat Ludo shows Google AdMob ads in two formats only. A rewarded video is always your choice: you can watch one for free coins, an extra daily spin, or a dice re-roll. A banner sits at the bottom of the game screen in matches against the computer; there is no banner in Pass and Play. There are no full-screen ads between games.
AdMob may collect and use the advertising ID, device and app information, approximate location from the IP address, ad interactions, and its own diagnostics, to serve, measure and limit ads, and to prevent fraud. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in your phone's Google settings.
Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics)
Google Play builds of Bharat Ludo include Firebase Analytics. It receives anonymous usage events (screens opened, game start and end, rewards claimed) together with an app-instance ID and basic device information. Your name, photo, gender and coin balance are not sent. A copy built without a Firebase configuration sends nothing to Firebase.
Daily reward time check
When the phone is online, the app asks two public time services, worldtimeapi.org and timeapi.io, for the current India date so daily rewards reset at midnight IST. Those requests do not include your name, photo, or coin balance. Like any web request they see the phone's IP address. If the phone is offline, the app uses the device clock and blocks a claim when that clock has been moved backwards.
Reminders
Reminders are off until you turn them on and allow notifications. The app then schedules at most one local reminder a day, around 7 pm phone time, and only while you are away from the game. The reminder is made and shown on this phone. Nothing is sent to a push server. You can turn reminders off in the app at any time.
Photo, vibration and sharing
Play vs AI is played against computer opponents on the phone, and each one is labelled AI. Choosing a photo opens the system picker. The app does not ask for camera or photo library permission. Vibration uses the normal vibrate permission and only runs when that setting is on. The share button opens your phone's share sheet. The app does not receive the list of people you share with.
What we do not do
- We do not upload your name, picture, gender or coin balance.
- We do not sell personal information.
- We do not show fake online players.
- Coins are virtual play coins with no money value. They cannot be bought, sold or cashed out.
Security
Everything the app sends over the internet, as described above, travels encrypted over HTTPS.
Children
Bharat Ludo is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If a later version changes the ad network or analytics, or adds an account server, this policy and the Google Play Data safety form will be updated before that version ships.
