Privacy Policy

1. Publisher and scope

Backgammon / Tabla is published by Armira International Ltd., trading as ArmiraPlay, at Blyan 69-1-11, Varna 9025, Bulgaria. VAT number: BG206212948. References to "ArmiraPlay", "we", "us" and "our" mean this company. We are the controller of personal data that we process for our own purposes as described below.

Backgammon / Tabla is a local board-game app with Classic, Tapa and Gulbara variants, offline bot play and pass-and-play options. No ArmiraPlay account is required. The app does not provide online matchmaking, public player profiles, chat or an ArmiraPlay cloud-save service.

This Policy covers this app, not every ArmiraPlay product. The website has a separate Website Privacy & Cookies notice covering its contact form, verification and optional website analytics. Each other game has its own Privacy Policy.

2. Information stored on your device

The app stores the following information on your device to continue games, remember your choices and provide the relevant free or Premium features. Availability of a feature depends on your app version and Premium status.

• Saved game state, match score and selected game variant.
• Preferences such as language, theme, sound, vibration, undo and replay-recording choices.
• Local replay history when replay recording is enabled.
• Local statistics such as completed games, wins, format, opponent type, AI level, duration and move count.
• A local Premium entitlement cache or status where the platform supports Premium.

3. Network connections and app analytics

Gameplay, local saves and the bot operate on your device without an ArmiraPlay gameplay server or a continuous internet connection. We do not upload your game moves, local statistics or replay archive merely because you play.

An internet connection may be needed to download or update the app, request advertising or consent information, make or restore a purchase, check store entitlement, open legal pages or contact support. These connections expose information such as your IP address to the service receiving the request.

There is currently no separate ArmiraPlay app analytics or crash-reporting integration. Google advertising SDKs can still process interaction and diagnostic data as described below. Optional Pulse Analytics on our website is separate and is not an analytics integration in this mobile app.

If we introduce app analytics or another diagnostic service, we will identify the service, information, purposes and retention practices in an updated Policy and provide any required notice and consent controls before enabling that processing.

4. Google AdMob advertising and privacy choices

The ad-supported version can display Google AdMob banner advertisements on supported platforms. Availability depends on the release, network connection, consent eligibility and ad inventory. We do not currently offer rewarded-video or interstitial ad features. In-app ad placements are removed when the app recognizes a valid Premium entitlement.

Google Mobile Ads SDKs may collect and share IP addresses and approximate location derived from them, device or app identifiers, advertising identifiers where available and permitted, app/ad interactions such as launches, impressions and taps, and performance, crash or other diagnostic information. Google uses this information for ad delivery, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention. The information actually processed depends on the platform, SDK configuration, device settings and your privacy choices.

Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) requests and manages applicable advertising consent and privacy choices. Ad requests are gated on the SDK reporting that ads may be requested; this does not mean every user has agreed to personalized advertising. Where an in-app privacy-options entry is available, you can use it to review your choices. You can also use advertising privacy controls provided by your device.

Non-personalized or limited advertising does not necessarily mean that no information is processed: IP addresses, consent information or other data may still be needed for permitted ad delivery and fraud prevention. Buying Premium removes in-app ad placements; it is not itself a withdrawal of consent or a deletion request for information already processed.

Google AdMob and UMP are the advertising and consent services covered by this Policy. We will update the relevant disclosures and consent controls before introducing a different advertising provider or materially different processing.

5. Store purchases and Premium information

Where Premium purchasing is available, Premium is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase, not a recurring subscription. Google Play or the Apple App Store processes the payment under its own terms and privacy practices. We do not receive your full payment-card details.

The app and store process product identifiers, purchase tokens or transaction identifiers, verification results and purchase/entitlement status as needed to complete, verify, acknowledge or restore a purchase and enable its benefits. Entitlement status may be cached locally for offline use. A store account may be required for purchasing even though gameplay does not require an ArmiraPlay account.

Each app has its own Premium purchase. A store purchase record is separate from local gameplay data; removing local data or uninstalling the app does not itself erase the store transaction record.

6. Purposes and legal bases

Where the GDPR applies to processing for which we are responsible, the purpose and circumstances determine the legal basis. Receiving this Policy or agreeing to the Terms is not consent to optional advertising or analytics.

• Providing requested app features, recognizing Premium access and handling purchase-related support: performance of a contract or steps you request before a contract, where necessary.
• Optional advertising personalization and device storage/access that require permission: your consent. Consent can be withdrawn without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
• Answering general support enquiries, preventing abuse and fraud, troubleshooting and protecting legal claims: our legitimate interests, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Meeting applicable accounting, consumer-protection and other legal duties: compliance with a legal obligation.
• Google, Apple and any other recipient acting as an independent controller determine the legal bases for their own processing; their policies and the applicable consent notices explain that processing.

7. Recipients and support requests

Google receives advertising, consent and relevant store information through AdMob, UMP and Google Play. Apple receives information needed for App Store purchases, entitlement and platform operation. Their roles depend on the service and applicable terms; they may act as independent controllers for their own purposes. See Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy and Apple’s Privacy Policy at apple.com/legal/privacy.

If you contact us through the website, we receive the name, email address, message and any diagnostic or purchase information you choose to send. Our email service provider handles delivery and storage of correspondence. The website notice explains verification, technical logs and contact-form processing. Do not send passwords, full payment-card details or unrelated sensitive information.

We may disclose information we actually hold to competent authorities where legally required, or to professional advisers where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. There are no public in-app player profiles or chat through which we share your local game history with other users.

8. Retention and deletion

Local saves, preferences, statistics, replay data and entitlement caches remain until they are replaced by normal app operation, removed using available controls, or removed by clearing app data or uninstalling. Local archives may retain only a limited number of games. Device backups and migration tools, if enabled on your platform, may retain or restore copies under your device/platform settings; we do not operate an app cloud-save service.

Google and Apple retain advertising, consent, diagnostic and purchase records under the retention practices and legal obligations applicable to their services. Uninstalling the app or buying Premium does not automatically delete those records.

Information you send us for support is kept for the time needed to handle the enquiry and related correspondence, then only for any applicable legal duties or genuine dispute-handling needs. We do not receive your complete local game archive merely because you contact us. To ask about information we hold or request its deletion, use the Contact Us form.

9. Your privacy choices and rights

You can manage local information through the controls actually available in your app and operating system. Advertising identifier and ad-privacy settings vary by platform. Where supported, review in-app advertising privacy choices or disable optional replay recording. Restoring a purchase is a store function, not a request to restore deleted game saves.

Subject to applicable conditions, you may have rights to access and correct personal data, request erasure or restriction, receive portable data, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdraw consent. We cannot retrieve, identify or remotely erase game information that exists only on your device and has not been sent to us.

Send privacy requests through the Contact Us form, beginning the message with “Privacy request” and identifying the app. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify a request, but do not send identity documents unless we specifically explain why they are needed. Under the GDPR, requests are normally answered within one month; a permitted extension will be explained within that period.

For information independently controlled by Google or Apple, their privacy tools may also be needed. You may complain to Bulgaria’s Commission for Personal Data Protection (cpdp.bg), or another competent supervisory authority, without contacting us first.

10. Age and children’s privacy

The app is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. This intended audience is separate from any content rating assigned by an app store and does not mean that the app verifies every user’s age.

A 13+ intended audience does not remove protections that apply to teenagers. The age at which a person can independently consent to particular processing varies by country. Where parental authorization is legally required for consent-based processing or a purchase, that requirement still applies.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the app or directly to us, use the Contact Us form and identify the app and concern without sending unnecessary information about the child. We will review the report, address information within our control and take appropriate steps concerning any relevant provider.

11. Security and international transfers

Local information relies in part on device and operating-system protections. Keep your device and app updated and protect access to your device. Advertising and store services apply their own security measures. No device, storage system or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Google, Apple and support providers may process information in countries outside your own, including outside the EEA. Where a transfer is subject to the GDPR, a valid transfer mechanism is required, such as an applicable adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses with any necessary supplementary measures. The provider policies describe their transfer arrangements. Contact us for information about safeguards relevant to processing for which we are responsible.

12. Changes to this Policy

We will update this Policy when relevant app features, providers or processing practices change. The effective date identifies the latest revision. Where required, we will provide an additional notice and obtain consent before new consent-based processing begins; continued use alone is not consent to a new processing purpose.
