Privacy Policy for Rang & Cut-Rang
Effective date: October 10, 2026
Rang Card Studio is the publishing name used by Uzair Aman, an independent developer based in Pakistan. Rang & Cut-Rang is developed and published under that name. This policy explains information handling in our offline Android card game, including the advertising features planned for a future release.
Which releases this policy describes
The existing Google Play closed-testing release is ad-free and does not contain the Google AdMob SDK. No personal information is collected through its offline gameplay, and the game does not access contacts, photos, messages or other personal content or use third-party analytics services. This statement does not cover information you voluntarily send by email, device backup services, or advertising processing in future releases, which are described separately below.
A future production release is planned to include Google AdMob interstitial advertisements. That advertising-enabled release has not yet been released, and real advertising remains disabled. The advertising disclosures below describe the planned release; they do not mean that advertising services are present in the existing SDK-free release.
Accounts and local game data
You do not need to create an account, sign in or submit personal information to play. Gameplay remains offline. The game stores the following information locally on your device:
- Game settings, gameplay configuration and preferences
- Sound and haptic preferences
- Saved game state and progress needed to resume an unfinished game
- Player statistics and game progress
The game stores these records on your device and does not upload them to Rang Card Studio or send them to advertising services. The current Android configuration allows operating-system backup of saved game information. Depending on your Android version and device settings, backup or device-transfer services may retain copies and restore that information when you reinstall the app or move to another device. These services are separate from the game’s own storage and are not operated by Rang Card Studio. The planned advertising integration does not introduce player accounts or an advertising backend operated by Rang Card Studio. Advertising services can nevertheless process separate device, interaction and diagnostic data as described below.
Planned advertising and third-party services
The planned release will use Google AdMob through the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Standard full-screen interstitial advertisements may appear after a completed game, before the results screen. Advertising and consent services require network communication even though gameplay remains offline.
In advertising-enabled releases, the SDK collects and shares data with Google for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. Depending on SDK configuration, device settings, region and privacy choices, data may include:
- Network information: your IP address, which can indicate approximate location.
- Identifiers: Android advertising ID, app set ID and, where applicable, other device or account-related identifiers. The game itself does not require an account.
- Interactions: app launches and advertising activity such as impressions, taps and video views.
- Diagnostics: information about app and SDK performance.
This information supports ad delivery, advertising analytics, service operation and protection against invalid traffic and abuse. Personalization depends on the applicable settings and choices. The planned integration does not use Firebase Analytics; this does not prevent advertising-related measurement by the Ads SDK.
Google and advertising providers involved in serving or measuring ads may process information under their own privacy policies. Where a consent message lists providers, review those details and choices. Following an advertisement may open a third-party site or app with its own privacy practices.
Regional consent and privacy choices
The planned release will use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to present applicable privacy messages and manage advertising privacy choices. Available choices depend on your region and the advertising configuration. Where required, including applicable consent requirements in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, consent will be requested before the relevant advertising processing.
Where required, an in-app privacy options control will let you revisit your choices or withdraw consent. Regional choices may also include opting out of processing described by applicable law as sale, sharing or targeted advertising. Available controls and their scope will be explained in the applicable message.
You can also use Android's advertising privacy controls, where available, and Google's ad controls. Refusing personalized advertising does not necessarily stop all ads or all data processing: measurement, contextual advertising and fraud prevention may still involve data. Withdrawing consent does not undo processing that already occurred.
Children's and teenagers' privacy
The game's declared Google Play target audience is ages 13 and older; it is not intended for children under 13. Teenagers may have additional privacy protections, and the age at which someone can consent to data processing varies by country. A 13+ audience declaration does not by itself establish valid consent to personalized advertising.
We do not ask children to create accounts or submit personal information to play. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us. Advertising-related processing in the planned release is subject to applicable age-related restrictions and the configured privacy controls; this policy does not claim that advertising SDKs collect no data from younger users.
Contacting us
If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any details or attachments you choose to provide. We use that information to respond to your enquiry or support request. Please do not include passwords or unnecessary sensitive information.
Retention and deletion
You can remove locally stored game information by clearing the app's data in Android settings or uninstalling the app. Rang Card Studio does not hold a server-side copy of your game progress or statistics. Clearing app data or uninstalling does not necessarily remove operating-system backups; eligible data may be restored when you reinstall or transfer to another device. Consult your device’s backup settings to manage those copies. Removing local data also does not delete information already processed by advertising providers.
We retain support emails and attachments only for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the enquiry and related follow-up, keep a relevant record of the support provided, and meet any applicable legal obligations or handle disputes. We assess continued need based on the nature and status of the enquiry and any applicable obligations, and delete information when it is no longer needed. You may contact us to request deletion; applicable obligations may require us to retain some information.
Advertising providers' retention and deletion practices are described in their own policies. We do not specify a retention period for data held by those providers or promise deletion on their behalf. Contact us about information you have sent directly to Rang Card Studio.
International processing and security
Google operates internationally and may process advertising information on servers outside your country. Its privacy information explains its processing locations and transfer safeguards. Applicable protections may differ between countries.
The game is designed to minimize unnecessary collection and keeps gameplay records locally. Advertising-enabled releases involve communication with third-party services; local gameplay does not mean all processing stays on your device. No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and the applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, obtain a copy, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain advertising uses. You may also have a right to complain to your local data protection authority. These rights depend on the circumstances and are not identical everywhere.
Use the applicable in-app privacy options and device controls for advertising choices. Contact Rang Card Studio for requests concerning information we hold. For information processed by Google, consult its privacy policy and request tools. We cannot retrieve local-only game records from your device or directly delete data held independently by advertising providers.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the game's features, data practices or third-party services change. An approved revised policy will be published on our privacy page with its effective date before the planned advertising-enabled release becomes available.
