Privacy Policy for Bingo Barkada

Effective date: July 2, 2026

Bingo Barkada is a bingo game app for live events. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app handles, how it is used, and the choices available to users.

Information We Collect

Bingo Barkada does not require account registration, login, email address, phone number, or a cloud database.

The app may handle the following information when users choose to use related features:

• Player name entered in the app
• Optional player photo or avatar selected from the camera or photo library
• Bingo game details, such as cards, called numbers, winning patterns, winners, and marker preferences
• Local network connection details needed for multiplayer games, such as the host device's local IP address, port, and game code
• Advertising-related information processed by Google AdMob when ads are enabled

How We Use Information

The app uses information only to provide its bingo features, including:

• Creating and saving bingo games on the device
• Displaying player names, avatars, cards, winners, and game results
• Allowing nearby devices to join a host game through QR connection on the same Wi-Fi network or phone hotspot
• Remembering local app preferences
• Showing ads on non-active game screens when ads are enabled

Local Storage

Bingo Barkada stores game data and preferences locally on the device using app storage. This may include player names, optional avatar data, bingo cards, game state, winners, and marker preferences.

This information is not uploaded by Bingo Barkada to a cloud server.

Users can remove locally stored app data by using device app settings to clear storage, uninstalling the app, or using any in-app reset or clear-game feature where available.

Camera and Photos

Bingo Barkada may request camera or photo access so users can add a player photo or avatar, and to support QR-based joining features where applicable.

Photos are used inside the app for gameplay display. Bingo Barkada does not upload photos to its own server.

Local Network and Multiplayer

For multiplayer games, Bingo Barkada can connect devices over the same Wi-Fi network or phone hotspot. The host device may temporarily run a local connection that other nearby devices use to join the game.

Game information shared during multiplayer play may include player names, optional avatars, bingo cards, called numbers, winner information, and connection status. This sharing is intended only between devices participating in the same local game session.

Bingo Barkada does not use its own external server, login system, or cloud database for multiplayer games.

Advertising

Bingo Barkada may use Google AdMob to show ads. AdMob may collect or process information such as device identifiers, approximate location, app activity, ad interactions, diagnostics, and other data according to Google's own policies and user settings.

Users may also manage ad personalization through their device settings or Google account settings, where available.

Sharing of Information

Bingo Barkada does not sell personal information.

Information may be shared only in the following situations:

• With nearby devices in the same local multiplayer game, as needed for gameplay
• With service providers such as Google AdMob when ads are enabled
• If required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable government request

Children's Privacy

Bingo Barkada is designed for general bingo gameplay and does not require users to create accounts or submit contact information. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children through a cloud service.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information in the app, they can remove the information by clearing the app's local storage or uninstalling the app.

Data Security

Bingo Barkada uses local device storage and local network connections to support gameplay. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, especially on shared or public Wi-Fi networks. Users should use trusted Wi-Fi networks or a private phone hotspot for multiplayer games.

Data Retention

Game information and preferences remain on the device until deleted by the user, cleared by the app, or removed when the app is uninstalled.

Ad-related data may be retained by Google according to Google's own policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted with a new effective date.
