PlayCalcutta ("we," "us," "our") is a free web app for running Calcutta auction contests among friends. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights around it. We keep this short because we don't do much with your data.
When you create or participate in a contest, we collect:
We do not collect payment information, government IDs, or any sensitive personal data.
All data is used solely to operate the contest you're participating in:
We do not use your data for advertising, sell it to third parties, or share it with anyone outside of what's needed to run the app.
Contest data is stored in Google Firebase Firestore, a cloud database operated by Google. Data is stored in the United States. Google's privacy practices apply to the infrastructure layer — see firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
PlayCalcutta does not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking. We use browser localStorage only to remember recently joined contests on your device. No data from localStorage is sent to our servers or shared with anyone.
Contest data persists in Firestore until manually deleted. We don't have an automated deletion schedule. If you want your contest data removed, contact us and we'll delete it promptly.
PlayCalcutta is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted data, contact us and we'll remove it.
