This policy explains what information Khel Ghar ("the app", "we", "us") collects when you play, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the app you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
When you sign in and play, we collect:
- Account details from the sign-in you choose (Google or Facebook): your name, email address, profile photo and an account ID. If you sign in with Facebook, we can also see which of your Facebook friends play Khel Ghar, so you can add them. If you play as a guest, only an anonymous account ID is created.
- Profile details you set: username, display name, avatar, player ID, and a profile photo if you upload one.
- Game data: matches played, wins, scores, levels, achievements, coin balance and coin history.
- Social data: your friends list, friend requests, and game invites you send or receive.
- Online status: whether you are online and when you were last seen, so friends can invite you.
- A notification token for your device, so we can send game invites to your phone.
- Your country, shown as a flag and used for regional leaderboards.
- Your approximate city, worked out from your internet address when you open the app. It is visible only to Khel Ghar admins, never to other players. We do not use GPS and do not store your internet address; the lookup is done by ipapi.co.
2. Device features
The camera and photo gallery are used only when you choose to set a profile photo. The motion sensor is used only for "Shake to Roll" in Ludo, while that setting is on, and its readings are not stored or sent anywhere.
3. How we use your information
- To create your account and keep your progress across devices.
- To show your name and photo to other players in friends lists, invites, leaderboards and online matches.
- To run online matches, friend invites and challenges.
- To send notifications about invites and matches. You can turn these off in your phone settings.
- To keep the game fair and to fix problems.
4. What other players can see
Other signed-in players can see your display name, username, player ID, avatar, profile photo, country, level, points and online status. Your email address is never shown to other players.
5. Services we use
The app runs on Google Firebase (sign-in, database, file storage, notifications and server functions). Sign-in is provided by Google or Facebook (Meta), under their own privacy policies. These services process data for us under their own privacy policies. Your data is stored on Google Cloud servers, with the game database in Mumbai, India.
The app shows ads from Unity Ads: banners, full-screen ads between games, and videos you can choose to watch for coins. To show and measure ads, Unity may collect your advertising ID and other device identifiers, your IP address and how you interact with ads, under its own privacy policy.
The app may also show ads from Google AdMob, which may collect your advertising ID, device information and IP address to show and measure ads, as described in how Google uses information from apps that use its services. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in your phone's settings.
When nobody else is online for a quick match, you may play against computer opponents ("bots"). Bots are always marked with a BOT tag. They are not real people, and their chat replies are automatic.
We do not sell your personal information.
6. Coins
Coins are virtual items used only inside the game. They cannot be bought with or exchanged for real money.
7. How long we keep data
We keep your data while your account exists. You can delete your account yourself at any time and it is removed immediately. If you ask us to delete it by email, we do so within 24 hours. See Delete Account.
Records of finished matches that other players took part in may keep your display name as it appeared in that match.
8. Your choices and rights
- Edit your name, avatar and photo at any time in your profile.
- Turn notifications off in your phone settings.
- Sign out at any time from Settings.
- Delete your account and data yourself, in the app under Settings → Delete Account or on our deletion page, or ask us to by email.
- Ask for a copy of your data by emailing us.
9. This website
This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. If you sign in on the Delete Account page, Google sign-in is used only to confirm it is your account before deleting it.
10. Children
Khel Ghar is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. When we do, we change the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
