This Privacy Policy applies to the WiFi Rummy Multiplayer mobile application (referred to as the "Application"), provided by Sangeetha (referred to as the "Service Provider").
WiFi Rummy is provided as a free, ad-supported application with optional in-app purchases. The Application is designed primarily for local multiplayer gameplay between nearby devices using WiFi or a mobile hotspot.
By using the Application, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Summary: WiFi Rummy is designed for local multiplayer gameplay. We do not collect personal information directly. Ads and in-app purchases are handled by Google's services.
Information Collection and Use
WiFi Rummy is designed so that local multiplayer gameplay can take place between nearby devices without requiring an internet connection or a remote game server.
Information We Do Not Collect for Gameplay
For local gameplay purposes, WiFi Rummy does not require users to create an online account and does not collect or transmit the following information to our own servers:
- Email address
- Phone number
- Postal address
- Precise location
- Personal profile information for online accounts
Player names entered in the Application are used for gameplay and may be stored locally on the device. They may also be transmitted locally to other players' devices when required for a multiplayer game.
Game information, such as player names, cards, scores, game state, and game settings, may be exchanged between participating devices during a local multiplayer session.
This multiplayer communication is intended to take place directly between the participating devices and is not sent to a WiFi Rummy remote game server.
Local Multiplayer Communication
WiFi Rummy supports multiplayer games over the same local WiFi network or mobile hotspot.
During a multiplayer game, devices may exchange information required to operate the game, including:
- Player names
- Game and round information
- Card and game state information
- Scores
- Game actions
- Connection and synchronization information
- Chat messages sent by players during the game
This information is exchanged between participating devices for the purpose of providing multiplayer gameplay.
The Application does not operate a remote server that stores players' multiplayer game data.
Where supported by the Application, multiplayer data is transferred using encrypted communication. However, the security of the underlying WiFi network, mobile hotspot, or other local network is outside the control of the Service Provider.
Local Storage
WiFi Rummy may store certain information locally on your device to provide application functionality, such as:
- Player name and profile settings
- Game settings and preferences
- Saved game information
- Game scores and round information
- Application settings
- Technical identifiers required for application functionality
This locally stored information is not intended to be transmitted to a WiFi Rummy remote server.
You can generally remove locally stored application data through the Android device settings or by uninstalling the Application. Some application settings or saved information may be lost when local application data is deleted.
Advertising
WiFi Rummy uses third-party advertising services, including Google AdMob, to display advertisements.
Advertisements may be shown in areas of the Application such as AI Practice Mode and may also be used as part of the optional rewarded-ad system for unlocking multiplayer gameplay for free users.
Third-party advertising providers may automatically collect or process certain information from the device when advertisements are requested or displayed. Depending on the applicable advertising configuration and user settings, this may include information such as:
- IP address
- Advertising ID or other advertising-related identifiers
- Device information
- Application and advertising interaction information
- Approximate location derived from IP address
- Diagnostic and performance information
This information may be used by the advertising provider for purposes such as delivering, measuring, personalizing, and improving advertisements, detecting invalid activity, and maintaining advertising services.
The Service Provider does not directly receive or store users' payment card information or other payment credentials through WiFi Rummy.
For more information about how Google handles information in connection with advertising services, please review Google's applicable privacy information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
In-App Purchases
WiFi Rummy offers an optional one-time Premium in-app purchase.
Payments and purchase processing are handled through Google Play's billing services. WiFi Rummy does not collect or store users' credit card numbers, debit card numbers, bank account information, or other payment credentials.
Google Play may process purchase-related information according to Google's terms and privacy policies.

Location Information and Permissions
WiFi Rummy does not use or collect a user's precise physical location for gameplay purposes.
Depending on the Android version and the networking or device-discovery functionality being used, Android may require certain permissions for WiFi, nearby-device, Bluetooth, or network discovery features.
If Android requests a location-related permission for a networking feature, that permission does not mean that WiFi Rummy uses the user's precise physical location for gameplay.
WiFi Rummy does not intentionally collect, store, or transmit a user's precise GPS location to a WiFi Rummy server.
Third-party services, such as advertising services, may independently process approximate location information as described in their respective privacy policies.
Device and Technical Information
WiFi Rummy itself does not maintain an online user account system.
Certain technical information or identifiers may be processed locally on the device or by third-party services used by the Application when necessary to provide functionality, security, advertising, diagnostics, or prevent abuse.
Third-party services may automatically process technical information such as:
- Device type and model
- Operating system and version
- Application version
- Advertising identifiers
- IP address
- Diagnostic information
- Crash or performance information
- Advertising and application interaction information
The exact information collected by third-party services depends on the services enabled in the Application and their applicable policies.
Chat and User-Generated Content
WiFi Rummy provides an in-game chat feature for multiplayer sessions.
Messages entered into the multiplayer chat are transmitted between participating devices as part of the local multiplayer session.
WiFi Rummy does not operate a remote server that stores multiplayer chat messages.
Users are responsible for the content they choose to send through the in-game chat feature.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
WiFi Rummy is a mobile application and does not directly use browser cookies as part of its core gameplay.
Third-party services integrated into the Application may use identifiers, SDK technologies, or similar technologies to provide advertising, analytics, security, or other services.
The use of such technologies by third-party providers is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Third-Party Services
WiFi Rummy may use third-party services to provide certain functionality, including advertising, payment processing, diagnostics, or other application services.
These services may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Examples may include:
- Google AdMob for advertising
- Google Play services and Google Play Billing for application distribution and in-app purchases
Third-party services are independently operated and are not controlled by the Service Provider.
Users should review the privacy policies of these third-party providers for more information about their data practices.
Data Retention and Deletion
WiFi Rummy does not maintain user accounts or a remote database containing users' personal information for normal gameplay.
Information such as player settings, saved games, scores, and other application data may remain locally on the device until the user deletes the application data, uses an available in-app deletion/reset function, or uninstalls the Application.
Multiplayer game data and chat messages exchanged between devices are intended for the current local multiplayer session and are not stored by a WiFi Rummy remote server.
Third-party service providers, including advertising and payment providers, may retain information according to their own policies and legal requirements.
Because WiFi Rummy does not maintain a remote user account containing personal information, there is generally no WiFi Rummy online account from which a user needs to request personal-data deletion.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information handled by the Application.
Local multiplayer communication may use encrypted data transfer. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.
The Service Provider cannot guarantee the security of the user's WiFi network, mobile hotspot, Android device, or third-party services.
Users should use trusted networks and keep their Android devices and the Application updated.
Children's Privacy
WiFi Rummy is not directed specifically to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through a WiFi Rummy online account or remote server.
Because WiFi Rummy does not require an online user account for gameplay, the Application does not intentionally request personal information such as a child's email address, phone number, or physical address for account creation.
Third-party services integrated into the Application, including advertising services, may have their own requirements regarding children and age-based advertising. Their data practices are governed by their respective policies and applicable laws.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information directly to the Service Provider, please contact us using the contact information below.
Your Choices
Depending on your device, Android version, and applicable third-party service settings, you may have choices regarding:
- Advertising personalization
- Advertising identifiers
- Application permissions
- Device-level privacy settings
- Deletion of locally stored application data
- Uninstalling the Application
You can manage available Android permissions and privacy settings through your device's Android settings.
Advertising preferences may also be available through Google or your Android device, depending on your location and device configuration.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When changes are made, the updated Privacy Policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how the Application handles information.
