Cassino Pro

1. Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what data the Cassino Pro mobile application (the “App”) collects, why it is collected, and the choices you have over it. The App is published by SCANA Software (“we”, “us”).

What we collect

• An anonymous account identifier. The first time you open the App we create an anonymous Firebase account on your device. This generates a random opaque user ID. We do not ask for your email address, phone number, real name, or any other personally identifying information.
• Multiplayer session data. If you play a multiplayer game, the App sends the current state of the table (cards in play, builds, scores, player turn) to our Firebase Realtime Database so the other players in your room can see the same game state in real time. This data is keyed by a short room code that is shared only between the players in that game and is deleted automatically when everyone leaves the room.
• Your display name, if you set one. A display name is optional. If you enter one in Settings, it is stored locally on your device and is sent to other players in any multiplayer rooms you join so they know who is at the table.
• Local app preferences. Sound, vibration, beginner tips, equipped cosmetics, in-game coin balance, achievements, and daily-streak progress are all stored locally on your device. None of this is uploaded to our servers.
• Standard technical information that Firebase collects to operate the service (approximate IP address, device type, basic timestamps). We do not use this for analytics or advertising.

What we do NOT collect

• We do not collect your email, phone number, contacts, photos, location, microphone, camera, or any other sensitive data.
• We do not use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
• We do not sell or share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party.

Why we collect it

The anonymous identifier and multiplayer session data exist for the single purpose of making multiplayer games work. Without them the App can’t tell which player is which, and remote players can’t see each other’s moves. Local preferences and progression exist so the game remembers your settings between sessions.

Who handles the data

We use Google Firebase (Authentication and Realtime Database) to host the multiplayer service. Firebase processes the data described above on our behalf in accordance with Google’s privacy practices. Firebase servers are operated by Google and may be located outside your country of residence.

How long we keep it

• Multiplayer room data is deleted automatically when the room ends (every player leaves or the room times out).
• Your anonymous account exists until you delete it (see “Your choices” below) or until you uninstall the App on every device and Firebase prunes the inactive record.
• Local app data is deleted whenever you uninstall the App or use the in-app delete option.

Children’s privacy

The App is intended for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the App, contact us at the email below and we will delete the relevant data.

Your choices and rights

• Delete your data from inside the App. Open Settings → DELETE MY DATA. This removes your anonymous Firebase account, leaves any active multiplayer room, and clears all local app data on your device. The action cannot be undone.
• Delete your data by email. If you cannot use the in-app option (for example, because you have already uninstalled the App but want any remaining server-side record removed), email scana.software@gmail.com and we will process the request within seven days.
• Access or correct your data. Because the only identifier we hold is an opaque, anonymous ID, the only data tied to it is the multiplayer history (which is short-lived anyway). If you would like a copy of whatever record we have for you, email us at the address above.

Security

Multiplayer session data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored in Firebase’s managed Realtime Database. We protect against casual misuse with Firebase Security Rules, but no internet service can be perfectly secure. Do not include sensitive personal information in a display name.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. The effective date at the top of this page will change when we do. Material changes will be highlighted in the App on next launch.

2. Terms of Use

By installing or using the App you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

License

We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial entertainment. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.

In-game currency and cosmetics

Coins, cosmetic items (card backs, card fronts, table floors, avatars), achievements, daily streaks, and any other in-game rewards are virtual items with no monetary value. They cannot be exchanged, transferred, withdrawn, or redeemed for real money or anything of real-world value. The App is not a gambling product.

Acceptable use

• Do not use the App to harass, threaten, or harm any other player.
• Do not enter offensive, discriminatory, defamatory, sexually explicit, or otherwise inappropriate content in your display name or anywhere else the App accepts user input.
• Do not attempt to interfere with multiplayer matches by exploiting bugs, automating play, modifying the App, or otherwise gaining an unfair advantage.
• Do not attempt to circumvent, disable, or compromise the App’s or Firebase’s security or operational integrity.

We may, in our sole discretion, suspend or terminate access for users who violate these terms.

Intellectual property

The App, including its source code, graphics, designs, card artwork, audio, fonts (subject to their own licences), and documentation, is owned by SCANA Software and is protected by intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved.

Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. We do not guarantee that the App will be error-free, that multiplayer connections will be uninterrupted, or that any data you transmit through the App will not be lost or corrupted.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall SCANA Software be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App. Our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim or (b) ZAR 100.

Third-party services

Multiplayer relies on Google Firebase. Your use of those services through the App is also subject to Google’s applicable terms. The App is distributed through Google Play, whose own terms apply to its distribution and your purchase or download experience.

Termination

You may stop using the App at any time and may delete your data via Settings → DELETE MY DATA. We may suspend, terminate, or discontinue the App or any part of it at any time, with or without notice. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of South Africa, subject to your mandatory consumer-protection rights under the law of your country of residence.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. The effective date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
