Privacy Policy

1tappa ("we", "us", "the app") is a free-to-play cricket engagement platform. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and what choices you have. 1tappa does not involve real-money gaming, betting, or wagering of any kind — see our Terms of Service for details on how the TP (Tappa Points) rewards system works.

1. Information we collect

Account information. When you sign in with your mobile number, we collect that phone number (via Firebase phone authentication) and generate an account. You may optionally add a display name, profile photo, bio, and favourite team.

Location (coarse, self-reported). You may optionally tell us your city, state, and country to personalize your experience. We do not collect GPS or precise device location.

Activity you generate. Match predictions, quiz answers and scores, watch-room chat messages, content reports you file, badges earned, your TP (points) balance and transaction history, streaks, and leaderboard standing.

Device information. Your device type (Android/iOS), app version, and a push-notification token (used solely to deliver in-app notifications you can disable in Settings).

Advertising identifier. If in-app ads are enabled, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may access your device's advertising ID to serve and measure ads. You can reset or limit this via your device's OS-level ad settings.

What we do not collect. We do not collect payment card details, bank information, or government ID. We do not require real-money deposits or process cash withdrawals of any kind.

2. How we use your information

• To operate your account, verify your identity via OTP, and keep your session secure.
• To run predictions, quizzes, duels, leaderboards, and the TP rewards system.
• To send push notifications about matches, results, and your account (you can turn these off in Settings).
• To moderate watch-room chat and investigate content reports.
• To improve the app and diagnose crashes (aggregated, non-identifying usage and crash data).

3. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

• Service providers who help us run the app — our cloud database and hosting provider, our SMS/WhatsApp OTP provider, Firebase (Google) for authentication and push notifications, and (if ads are enabled) Google AdMob.
• Other users, limited to what you choose to make visible: your display name, avatar, and leaderboard rank, and any watch-room messages you post.
• Law enforcement or regulators, only where required by applicable law.

4. Your choices and rights

• Access and correction. You can view and edit your profile information from within the app at any time.
• Notifications. You can disable push notifications in Settings at any time.
• Account deletion. You can request account deletion from Settings → Delete Account. Deletion is processed within a 30-day grace period (during which you can cancel by logging back in), after which your account and personal data are permanently removed, except where we're required to retain records for legal or fraud-prevention purposes.
• Data portability and grievances. If you are located in India, you have rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, including the right to access, correct, and erase your data, and to file a grievance with our Grievance Officer (contact details below).

5. Data retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (for example, transaction records for fraud investigation).

6. Children

1tappa is intended for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures — encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and audited admin actions — to protect your information. No system is 100% secure, and we encourage you to keep your device and phone number secure.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above, and for material changes, we'll notify you in-app.
