Privacy Policy — Carrom Pakistan

Last updated: 9 August 2026

Carrom Pakistan (com.mikao.carrom) is a board game for Android. This policy explains exactly what the app stores, why, and how to delete it. It is short because the app collects very little.

The short version

What is stored, and where

On your device only (never transmitted):

On our server — only if you play online. Online play is optional. The server is Supabase, which hosts the database on our behalf.

DataWhy
A random account identifier (UUID) To tell one player from another across matches. It is generated by the server and is not linked to your device, phone number, email or any advertising ID.
Your display name So opponents and the leaderboard can show who they are playing. You choose it, you can change it, and it does not have to be your real name.
Game results and statistics — rating, wins, losses, coins pocketed, streaks, match history To run ranked matchmaking and the leaderboards.
Match activity — the shots you play and connection timestamps during a match To synchronise the two players, allow reconnection after a dropped connection, and detect cheating. Detailed shot logs are automatically deleted 14 days after a match ends.

We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, files, installed apps, or device advertising identifier. The app requests only three Android permissions: internet access, network state, and vibration.

Guest accounts

Playing online creates an anonymous guest account automatically. It has no password, no email and no recovery — it exists purely so the server can keep your rating and match history consistent between games. Uninstalling the app or deleting your data (below) ends it permanently.

Security

All communication with the server uses encrypted connections (HTTPS/WSS). Database access is restricted by row-level security so a player can only read data from their own profile and their own matches. The app never ships a privileged server key.

Deleting your data

In the app: Settings → Delete my account and data. This immediately and permanently removes your online profile, rating, statistics and match history from the server, and clears everything stored on your device. It cannot be undone.

You can also request deletion without the app by emailing hclodhran1@gmail.com, or by using the account deletion request page.

Finished match records are kept with your identifier removed, so they no longer refer to you. They are retained because a match belongs to both players — erasing them would falsify your opponent's own history and rating.

Children

The game is suitable for all ages and is not directed at children under 13 specifically. It collects no personal information, shows no ads, and contains no chat or free-text messaging between players.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with an updated date above.
