What stays on your phone
The app saves the following in private storage on the device. It is not uploaded.
- Your name and avatar
- Optional gender, if you choose to give it
- Progress, coins, stars, streaks and records
- Sound, reminder and language settings
Uninstalling the app deletes this data. There is no Bharat Joy account and no game server, so there is nothing of yours to delete on our side. See the data deletion page.
Ads (Google AdMob)
Bharat Sweet Mela shows Google AdMob ads: rewarded videos that you choose to watch, with a daily cap, and a banner. There are no full-screen ads between games. Ads are limited to content rated PG.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and use the advertising ID, the IP address (for approximate location), ad interactions, and diagnostics such as crash and performance data, to serve, measure and protect ads and to prevent fraud. See how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in your phone's settings (Google, then Ads).
AdMob is the only third party that receives data from this app. Bharat Sweet Mela does not include Firebase or any other analytics service.
Time check
When the game starts on Android, it sends an empty request to https://www.google.com/generate_204 and reads only the date and time from the reply, so the daily gift and the Daily Thali follow real time and not a changed phone clock. The request carries no game data, no player details and no ad or device ID. Like any web request, it lets Google see the phone's IP address and the web view's browser string. If the phone is offline, the game falls back to its own clock checks.
Reminders
Reminders are off until you turn them on (the game asks once after your first Daily Thali, or you can use Settings). The game then schedules at most one local notification a day, around 6 pm phone time, using Android's notification system. The text is made on the phone. Nothing is sent to a server and no push service is used. Turning reminders off cancels the pending one.
Share card, fonts and art
The share card is drawn on the phone and leaves it only when you tap Share, through your phone's share sheet. All fonts, pictures and sounds are inside the app, so the game makes no requests to font or art servers.
What we do not do
- We do not upload your name, picture, gender or coin balance.
- We do not sell personal information.
- We do not show fake online players.
- Coins are virtual play coins with no money value. They cannot be bought, sold or cashed out.
Security
Everything the app sends over the internet, as described above, travels encrypted over HTTPS.
Children
Bharat Sweet Mela is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If a later version changes the ad network or analytics, or adds an account server, this policy and the Google Play Data safety form will be updated before that version ships.
