Summary: Teen Do Panch is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, harvest, store, or sell your personal information. Local multiplayer connections use Google Nearby Connections API over local Wi-Fi and Bluetooth without tracking your physical location or sending data to remote servers.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile game Teen Do Panch ("the Application"), developed and operated by SelfTech Solutions Pvt Ltd ("we", "us", or "our").
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through this compliance statement in accordance with Google Play Developer Policies, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and applicable global privacy regulations.
2. Information Collection and Usage
2.1 Personal Information
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). You are not required to create an account, register, or provide personal details (such as your real name, email address, phone number, or payment details) to play the game.
2.2 Local Gameplay Data & Preferences
The Application stores basic settings and game state (e.g., sound effects preferences, current game scores, selected player names/avatars) locally on your device. This data is never transmitted to external cloud servers and is deleted when you uninstall the Application or clear the Application's storage via your device settings.
2.3 Multiplayer Peer-to-Peer Data
When playing in 2-Player or 3-Player multiplayer mode, game action data (cards played, round scores, trump selection) is exchanged directly between connected peer devices across your local network or direct peer-to-peer connection. No personal data or remote server logging is involved.
3. Device Permissions & Why We Need Them
To enable local multiplayer matchmaking and peer-to-peer card play, the Application requires specific device permissions. These permissions are strictly used for local discovery and communication:
| Permission | Purpose & Scope |
|---|---|
|
|
Local Multiplayer Discovery: Used to discover and establish direct peer-to-peer connections with nearby devices hosting or joining a game room. We use Android's neverForLocation flag, ensuring Bluetooth is never used to derive your geographic location.
|
|
|
Android Framework Requirement for Nearby Discovery: On older Android OS versions (Android 11 and below), the Android operating system mandates location permission to perform local Wi-Fi and Bluetooth beacon scans. We DO NOT access, record, track, store, or share your GPS coordinates or physical location. |
|
|
Peer-to-Peer Wi-Fi Connectivity: Used on Android 13+ (and earlier versions) to establish fast local Wi-Fi / hotspot connections between players for multiplayer gameplay without accessing internet services or your geographic location. |
4. Third-Party Services
The Application integrates with standard platform services provided by Google to facilitate local peer-to-peer connectivity:
- Google Play Services (Nearby Connections API): Enables local device discovery, advertisement, and secure peer-to-peer data channels for multiplayer gameplay. Google's processing of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
The Application does not include third-party advertising SDKs, tracking pixels, or invasive behavioral analytics libraries.
5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Global Regulations)
Teen Do Panch is a family-friendly classic card game suitable for general audiences. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international child protection laws:
- We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions).
- No personal identification or public user profiles are created or displayed.
- If a parent or legal guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with any information without their consent, please contact us, and we will promptly take appropriate action.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Because the Application does not transmit or maintain user data on external servers:
- All local game data remains exclusively under your control on your physical device.
- You can instantly delete all local data by going to Settings > Apps > Teen Do Paanch > Storage > Clear Data, or by uninstalling the application.
7. Data Security
We prioritize the security of our users. Peer-to-peer communication between devices established via the Google Nearby Connections framework is encrypted in transit using industry-standard cryptographic protocols.
8. User Rights
Under global privacy regulations (including GDPR and CCPA), users have rights regarding their data. Because we do not collect or store your personal data on remote servers, we have no personal data to view, export, sell, or modify. You have full autonomous control to grant or revoke app permissions at any time through your Android device settings.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect updates in our application, legal requirements, or Google Play Developer Policy updates. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date". We encourage users to periodically review this page for the latest information.
