Maandrik (“we”, “us”, or “our”) built the Say Bingo! Android application (the “App”), published under the Maandrik brand, as a commercial product. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App accesses, how it is used and the choices available to you.
By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information stored on your device
The App stores only the information needed to run your bingo games and remember your choices. Android keeps this information in the App’s private storage.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Game configuration | Remember the 90-ball or 75-ball format, card count, prize distribution, draw mode, timing and reading preferences. |
| Current game and claim history | Restore the board, drawn numbers and validated or rejected Line/Bingo claims if the App is interrupted. |
| Language and voice preferences | Display the interface and call numbers using your selected languages, voice and reading style. |
| Downloaded voice packages | Play recorded number calls offline. You can delete each package inside the App. |
| Completed-game count and Premium entitlement | Apply the introductory advertising-free games, advertising frequency and permanent ad removal after a verified purchase. |
| Recent diagnostic log | Help troubleshoot the App only if you deliberately choose to compose and send a diagnostic email. |
1.2 Technical information processed when using online features
When the App downloads the voice catalogue or a voice package from saybingo.maandrik.com, the hosting infrastructure may process standard request data.
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| IP address, request time, requested path and user-agent | Deliver files, maintain security, diagnose failures and operate the download service. |
| Network availability | Determine whether an online download or store request can be attempted. |
The free version also uses Google Mobile Ads. The Google Mobile Ads SDK automatically collects and shares technical data for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention, including IP address, general location inferred from IP, App interactions such as launches, taps and video views, SDK performance and diagnostic information, and device or account-related identifiers such as the Android advertising ID and App Set ID. The exact identifiers and ad-serving mode can vary with your consent choices, device settings and Google’s limited-ad features.
Android may include private App data in a system-managed cloud backup or device-to-device transfer, depending on the device, Android version, account and backup settings. This can include preferences, game state, the recent diagnostic log and downloaded voice packages. The backup provider, normally Google or the device manufacturer, controls that processing.
1.3 Information we do not collect
- We do not require an account, name, postal address or telephone number.
- We do not access your contacts, messages, call history, photos, videos, camera or microphone.
- We do not record players, listen to the room or upload spoken audio.
- We do not receive the numbers or values entered on players’ physical cards.
- We do not operate gambling, accept stakes or process prize payments.
- The printable-card generator on this website runs in your browser; generated cards are not sent to our server.
2. How Your Information Is Used
Information processed by the App is used to provide the features you choose:
- Game data → draw balls, display the board, pause for claims and restore an unfinished game.
- Preferences → apply your selected language, voice, reading mode, speed and ball interval.
- Voice downloads → install recorded number and confirmation audio for offline playback.
- Completed-game count → determine whether advertising is eligible to appear.
- Purchase information → verify and restore the one-time Premium upgrade.
- Diagnostics → prepare an email that you can review, edit or cancel before sending.
3. Third-Party Services
| Service | Data processed | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Say Bingo! hosting infrastructure | Standard web-request information | Provide the website, privacy policy, voice catalogue and voice-package downloads. |
| Google Play Billing | Product, purchase token and transaction status managed by Google | Process and restore the one-time Premium purchase. We do not receive your full payment-card details. |
| Google Mobile Ads (free version) | IP address and IP-derived general location, App launches and interactions, ad interactions, SDK performance and diagnostics, Android advertising ID, App Set ID and, where applicable, other device or account-related identifiers | Automatically collect and share data to request and display banner or interstitial advertising, measure performance and prevent fraud. Consent, privacy choices and Google settings determine whether personalised, non-personalised or limited ads can be served and which identifiers are available. |
| Android backup or device-transfer provider (depending on device settings) | Private App data selected by the Android backup system, which can include preferences, game state, logs and downloaded voices | Back up or transfer App data so it can be restored on the same or another compatible device. |
| Your selected Android text-to-speech provider (fallback voice only) | Text of number calls or App messages and the selected language; processing may occur locally or through the provider’s online service | Speak a call when the corresponding recorded Say Bingo! audio is not installed, unavailable or cannot be played. |
| Your email provider (only when you choose feedback or diagnostics) | Email address, message content and diagnostic details you leave in the draft | Send feedback or a diagnostic report to our support address. |
Downloaded Say Bingo! voice packages are pre-generated recordings and do not require live speech generation. If recorded audio is unavailable, the App uses the Android text-to-speech engine selected on your device. Depending on that engine and voice, the text to be spoken may be processed locally or sent to the engine provider over the Internet under that provider’s privacy terms. The App does not send room audio or recordings to a speech provider.
Google’s processing is governed by the Google Privacy Policy, Google advertising information and Google Payments Privacy Notice.
4. Data Storage and Security
- Game data, settings, logs and voice packages are stored in Android’s private application storage.
- Where Android backup or device transfer is enabled, the operating system may copy private App data to a system-managed backup or another device.
- Voice catalogues, voice packages and policy pages are delivered over HTTPS.
- The App does not maintain a user-account database or upload game histories to our servers.
- Access to operational hosting logs is restricted and used for service reliability and security.
- No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
- Clearing App data or uninstalling removes the local copy of game data and preferences. A separate Android-managed backup may remain according to the backup provider’s settings and retention rules and may later restore that data.
- Voice packages remain locally until you delete them in the App, clear App data or uninstall the App; they may also be present in an Android-managed backup.
- The recent local diagnostic log is rotated by the App and is not transmitted automatically, although Android backup may include it.
- Operational web logs are retained only for the period reasonably required for security, diagnosis and service operation.
- Emails you voluntarily send are retained as needed to answer your request, investigate a problem and meet applicable legal obligations.
6. Children’s Privacy
Say Bingo! is intended for adults who organise domestic bingo games. Families may play together under adult supervision, but the App is not directed to children and children should not operate its advertising, purchase, feedback or diagnostic features. The App has no profiles, chat, public sharing or social features. If you believe a child has sent personal information to us by email, contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.
7. Permissions Summary
The released Android package may include the following permissions directly or through Google libraries:
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
INTERNET | Download the voice catalogue and voice packages, access Google Play services and, in advertising-enabled versions, request advertisements. |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Check network availability before online operations. |
com.android.vending.BILLING | Process and restore the one-time Premium purchase through Google Play. |
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID | Allow Google Mobile Ads to access the Android advertising identifier where available and permitted by consent and device settings. |
ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION and ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS | Support Android Privacy Sandbox advertising services declared by Google advertising libraries. Availability and use depend on the Android version, device and privacy settings. |
WAKE_LOCK and FOREGROUND_SERVICE | Technical permissions declared by Google libraries for time-limited SDK and network operations. Say Bingo! does not run a permanent user-facing background service. |
| App-scoped dynamic receiver permission | Protect internal Android components created by AndroidX libraries from access by other apps. |
The App does not request camera, microphone, contacts, location, photo-library or storage permissions.
8. Your Choices and Rights
You can use the App without creating an account, choose which voice packages to install, delete downloaded packages, decline to send feedback or diagnostics, manage advertising consent where available, control Android backup in your device settings and purchase Premium to remove advertising permanently.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of personal data, and to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. Clearing App data or uninstalling removes the local App data; system-managed backups must be controlled or deleted through the relevant Android, Google account or device-provider settings.
9. International Processing
Online service providers may process technical data in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards are used by those providers for international transfers.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App’s features, providers or legal requirements change. The current version will always be published at this address with a revised “Last updated” date.
