BINGO AIR

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 September 2026

Bingo Air does not collect your data. It has no servers, no accounts, and no analytics. The app talks to exactly one thing: the phone sitting next to you, over Bluetooth.

What we collect

Nothing. Bingo Air contains no code that sends data to us or to anyone else. There is no account to create, no sign-in, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no third-party analytics of any kind.

The app has no internet permission in normal use and works with your phone in aeroplane mode, as long as Bluetooth is on.

What is stored on your device

One thing: the display name you choose, so you do not have to type it again. It is kept in the app's own private storage on your device.

Scores and streaks exist only while a session is running. They are not written to storage and are gone when you close the app.

Boards, called numbers, and games are never saved. There is no history, because none is kept.

Deleting the app deletes the name along with it. There is no copy anywhere else, and nothing to request or recover afterwards.

What passes between the two phones

This is the part worth reading, because it is the only place your information goes anywhere at all.

• While you are hosting, your display name is broadcast. Your phone advertises a short Bluetooth message so nearby players can find your game, and the name you chose is in it. Any phone within Bluetooth range that is looking for Bingo Air games can see it, including phones that never join. If you would rather not broadcast your real name, use a nickname — you can change it in the app at any time.
• During a game, the two phones exchange only what the game needs: both display names, the twenty-five numbers on each board, each number as it is called, and short messages for readiness, a bingo claim, and a rematch.
• It goes phone to phone, directly. Nothing is routed through a server, ours or anyone else's, and nothing is stored at either end once the game is over.

Bluetooth Low Energy has a range of roughly ten metres, so this only ever reaches the room you are in.

Permissions the app asks for

• Bluetooth. Required. It is how the game works. iOS asks for this the first time you open the lobby. Bingo Air uses Bluetooth only to find and connect to the other player's phone.
• Nearby devices (Android 12 and later). The system permissions for scanning, connecting, and advertising over Bluetooth.
• Location services (Android 11 and earlier). Older versions of Android require location services to be switched on before any app may scan for Bluetooth devices. This is an Android rule, not a Bingo Air one. The app never requests your location, never reads it, and has no code that could.

Children

Bingo Air is suitable for all ages and collects no information from anyone, including children. It contains no advertising, no purchases, no chat, and no links out to other services.

Your rights

Regulations such as the GDPR, the CCPA, and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act give you rights to access, correct, export, and delete personal data held about you. Bingo Air holds none, so there is nothing for us to disclose or erase.

You control the only piece of data the app keeps: change your display name in the lobby, or remove it entirely by deleting the app.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted at this address with a new date. Any change that alters how the app handles your data will be described here before or when it ships.
