Welcome to Sikka Play ("we," "our," "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application ("Sikka Play") and our related services.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By downloading, installing, or using Sikka Play, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
To provide you with a secure, engaging, and rewarding experience, we collect the following types of information:
A. Personal Information Provided by You
- Authentication Data: When you sign up, we collect your phone number and password. If you authenticate using Google Sign-In, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture URL from Google.
- Profile Details: You may choose to provide a display name, username, bio, and gender for matchmaking and community features.
- Referral Association: If you register using a referral code, we record your connection within our referral network to calculate rewards.
B. Automatically Collected Information
- Device Identifiers: We collect unique device identifiers (such as Android ID or device token) to enable features like push notifications (FCM) and prevent multi-account/sybil registration fraud.
- Network Information: We collect network status, connection quality, and IP addresses to prevent VPN fraud, verify regional availability, and ensure secure server matchmaking connections.
- App Usage & Activity Data: We track your in-app actions, game playtime (milestones), ad watch metrics, and daily login streak logs to credit Sikka Coins to your account.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following business purposes:
- Core Services: To register accounts, verify identities, facilitate matchmaking queues, and manage active real-time chats.
- Reward Distribution: To calculate daily login streaks, verify watched ads, track play milestones, and allocate Sikka Coins.
- Referral & MLM Network: To manage commission trees and credit MLM referral bonuses accurately.
- Security & Fraud Prevention: To identify multi-account abuse, flag VPN bypass attempts, detect macro/bot activity, and maintain a fair play ecosystem.
- Notifications: To send matching updates, streak reminders, and promotional alerts through Firebase Cloud Messaging.
3. Sharing and Disclosing Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our app:
- Firebase (Google): For authentication (Firebase Auth), database hosting (Supabase connection), and push notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging).
- Google AdMob: To deliver rewarded and interstitial ads. AdMob may collect device advertising IDs (GAID) and cookies to serve personalized ads.
- Database Providers: Supabase and Prisma are utilized to host and query app tables securely.
4. Third-Party Services
Sikka Play utilizes third-party SDKs that have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies:
5. Data Retention & Account Deletion
We retain your personal information as long as your account remains active.
Account Deletion ("Soft-Delete" Mechanism)
If you decide to delete your Sikka Play account via the in-app settings:
- We immediately delete your personal logs, including email, phone number, Firebase UID, avatar, and device ID.
- To maintain the integrity of our MLM referral network structure (and prevent breakage of user commissions downstream), your database record's name is updated to "Deleted User" and your username is replaced with a randomized unique string. No identifying personal information remains associated with this record.
6. Children's Privacy
Sikka Play does not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it from our servers immediately.
