Privacy Policy for WizBid

Last updated: October 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Nikhil Yadav ("we," "our," or "us") handles information in the WizBid mobile app.

1. Information We Collect

a) Information stored on your device

WizBid stores gameplay and settings data locally on your device, including:

  • Display name / player nickname
  • Selected avatar
  • Theme, card back, and graphics preferences
  • Audio and sound effects preferences
  • Local game settings and offline practice stats

b) Information used for online play

When you use online matchmaking, private tables, or multiplayer rooms, WizBid uses Firebase services and processes:

  • Anonymous account identifier (Firebase UID)
  • Display name and avatar selection
  • Table/match data (table code, seat assignment, ready/deal status)
  • Live game state, bids, tricks won, and actions required for multiplayer gameplay

c) Service-provider technical data

Our backend provider (Google Firebase) may process technical/network metadata needed to operate and secure the service (for example IP/device/network information), according to Firebase's own policies.

2. How We Use Information

We use data only to:

  • Authenticate players anonymously
  • Match players and create/join game tables
  • Synchronize multiplayer game state, bids, and trick scores in real time
  • Save user settings/preferences
  • Operate and maintain core game functionality

3. Tracking, Ads, and Analytics

  • WizBid does not use third-party advertising SDKs.
  • WizBid does not use cross-app tracking for advertising.
  • WizBid does not sell personal data.

4. Permissions and Sensitive Data

WizBid does not require contacts, photos, microphone, or location for core gameplay.

If platform-level permissions appear on a device build, they are not used by us to collect personal content unless explicitly needed for a feature and disclosed in-app.

5. Data Sharing

We share data only with service providers required to run the app:

  • Google Firebase (authentication and real-time multiplayer backend)

We do not share personal data with data brokers.

6. Data Retention

  • Local settings remain on your device until you clear app data or uninstall.
  • Multiplayer/session records are retained in backend systems as needed for game operation, integrity, and troubleshooting.

7. Your Choices and Account Deletion

Inside the app, you can use the settings or device storage management to:

  • Delete your anonymous account (when supported by the auth session), and
  • Clear locally stored app data from your device.

You may also contact us by email to request deletion of any server-side records associated with your anonymous user ID.

8. Children's Privacy

WizBid is not directed to children under 13 (or equivalent minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical measures and established backend providers to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The Last updated date will reflect the latest revision.
