Privacy Policy — Baccarat Stat Master

Effective date: 3 May 2026  |  Last updated: 3 May 2026

1. Who We Are

Baccarat Stat Master ("the App", "we", "us", "our") is published by the developer listed on the Google Play Store. The App is a pure educational, statistical, and pattern-analysis study tool for baccarat outcome data. It is intended only for users aged 18 years and older in jurisdictions where such educational software is permitted.

2. What This App Is — and Is Not

This App IS:

• An offline-first statistical and pattern-analysis tool
• An educational study application for baccarat outcome data
• A purely analytical software product with subscription-based premium features

This App IS NOT:

• A gambling app
• A real-money gaming service
• A betting, wagering, or staking platform
• A money management or bankroll tracking tool
• An "online money game" or "online money gaming service" as defined under any applicable law, including but not limited to India's Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025

The App does not accept deposits, hold balances, place bets, or facilitate financial transactions of any kind beyond the standard in-app subscription processed by Google Play or Apple App Store.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information stored locally on your device (not sent to us)

• Hand-by-hand session data (Banker / Player / Tie outcomes you enter)
• Saved pattern rules and strategies you create
• App preferences (theme, language, mode selection)
• Walkthrough completion state

This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it (e.g., CSV export feature).

3.2 Information collected by third-party services

The App uses the following Google Firebase services:

• Firebase Analytics — anonymous app usage events (screen views, feature taps), device model, OS version, country, language preference
• Firebase Crashlytics — crash reports, stack traces, device state at crash time, app version
• Firebase App Check — device integrity tokens to prevent abuse from modified APKs

3.3 Subscription data

If you purchase a premium subscription:

• Google Play / Apple App Store handles all payment processing. We never receive your card numbers, banking details, or other payment information.
• The store sends us a purchase token which our server verifies against Google/Apple's purchase API to confirm validity. This token does not contain personal information.

4. Permissions We Use

• Internet — required for: (a) verifying premium purchases with Google Play / App Store, (b) optional "External AI" mode if you connect your own ChatGPT or Gemini API key, (c) Firebase services.
• Billing — required to process premium subscription purchases through Google Play.

The App does not request or use: location, contacts, camera, microphone, storage (beyond app sandbox), phone, SMS, or accounts permissions.

5. How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve App functionality
• To verify premium subscriptions and prevent fraud
• To diagnose crashes and technical issues
• To analyze aggregate usage patterns (which features are popular)
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data for advertising profiling, behavioral targeting, or any marketing purpose.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, lease, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Limited data is shared only with:

• Google Firebase (Google LLC, USA) — for the analytics, crash reporting, and integrity-check services described above. Firebase processes data under Firebase's privacy terms.
• Google Play / Apple App Store — for subscription processing, governed by their respective privacy policies.
• External AI provider — only if you voluntarily enter a ChatGPT or Gemini API key in External AI mode. Communications then go directly between your device and that provider; we do not intercept or store these.

7. Data Storage and Location

Most data stays on your device. Data sent to Firebase is processed on Google Cloud servers in the United States and other regions Google operates. Subscription verification calls go to our Cloud Functions hosted on Google Cloud (us-central1).

8. Data Security

• All network communication uses HTTPS/TLS encryption.
• Firebase App Check verifies that requests come from a genuine, signed installation of the App.
• Server-side purchase verification ensures only legitimate subscriptions unlock premium features.
• We do not store passwords because we do not require accounts.

No system is 100% secure, but we apply industry-standard safeguards.

9. Data Retention

• Local on-device data: retained until you uninstall the App or clear app data.
• Firebase Analytics: retained per Google Firebase default (up to 14 months).
• Crash reports: retained up to 90 days.
• Subscription verification logs: retained for fraud prevention and tax compliance for as long as legally required.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., EU/UK GDPR, California CCPA), you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access the data we hold about you
• Right to correct inaccurate data
• Right to delete your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to opt out of analytics (uninstall the App)
• Right to data portability
• Right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise these rights, email us at apps3mb@gmail.com. We respond to verified requests within 30 days.

11. Children's Privacy

This App is strictly for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has used this App or provided personal data, please contact us immediately at apps3mb@gmail.com and we will delete any associated data.

12. Legal Compliance

The App and its operators comply with applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the App is available. The App is not available in India and is therefore not subject to India's Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 or related rules. The App contains no functionality that would constitute an "online money game" or "online money gaming service" under that Act.

The App makes no representation that it is legal in every jurisdiction. Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of the App complies with all laws applicable in their location.

13. International Transfers

Because Firebase processes data in the United States and other countries, your data may be transferred internationally. Such transfers are governed by Google's Data Processing Terms and applicable safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses where required by GDPR).

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Effective date" at the top reflects the latest version. Material changes will be highlighted in the App or on this page. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
