Privacy policy
1. Information Collection and the Legal Basis for Processing
At Yono Games, we recognize that your privacy is a fundamental right. In the rapidly evolving digital landscape of India, protecting the personal and financial data of our players is not just a legal obligation but a core pillar of our business philosophy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and safeguarding of your information when you use our mobile application and website.
1.1 Types of Data Collected
To provide a seamless real-money gaming experience, we collect several categories of information. This includes Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as your full name, date of birth, mobile number, and email address. To comply with Indian «Know Your Customer» (KYC) regulations, we also require documentation such as your Aadhaar or PAN card details. Furthermore, we collect Technical Data, including your IP address, device model, and geolocation, to ensure you are playing from a legally permitted state within India.
1.2 Purpose of Collection
The primary reason for data collection is to facilitate your participation in our contests, process your UPI and bank withdrawals, and prevent fraudulent activities. We also use your data to personalize your gaming experience, providing you with tailored bonuses and notifications that align with your gameplay preferences.
Data Category & Usage Overview
| Data Type | Primary Usage | Regulatory Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Identity (Aadhaar/PAN) | KYC & AML Compliance | UIDAI Guidelines |
| Financial (UPI/Bank) | Instant Payouts | RBI Digital Norms |
| Behavioral Data | Anti-Cheat Algorithms | DPDP Act 2023 |
2. Data Protection, Storage, and User Rights
Securing your data is an ongoing process that involves military-grade encryption and rigorous internal audits. As an Indian gaming brand, we host our primary servers within the geographical boundaries of India to comply with local data localization mandates.
2.1 Encryption and Storage Security
All sensitive data is encrypted using 256-bit SSL technology during transit and stored on secure, firewall-protected servers. Our internal access controls ensure that only authorized personnel have access to your data, and such access is logged and monitored 24/7. In the event of any data breach, Yono Games is committed to notifying the affected users and the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) within the timeframes stipulated by law.
2.2 Your Rights Under DPDP Act 2023
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act grants you significant control over your information. You have the Right to Correction, allowing you to update any inaccurate data; the Right to Erasure, which enables you to request the deletion of your data once your account is closed; and the Right to Withdraw Consent at any time. However, please note that withdrawing consent may limit your access to our real-money features, as certain data is mandatory for legal compliance and withdrawal processing.

3. Third-Party Sharing and Cookies
While Yono Games is the primary custodian of your data, we do collaborate with verified third-party partners to enhance our services. These partners include payment gateways (for UPI/NetBanking processing), KYC verification agencies, and analytics providers who help us understand app performance.
3.1 Third-Party Disclosure
We never sell your personal data to advertisers. Sharing only occurs with entities that have signed strict non-disclosure agreements and are compliant with Indian privacy laws. For example, when you request a withdrawal, your UPI ID is shared with our banking partner (like NPCI) to facilitate the transfer. We may also disclose information to government authorities if required by a valid court order or under Section 194BA for tax purposes.
3.2 Cookie Policy and Tracking
Our platform uses «cookies» and similar tracking technologies to remember your login details, understand your game preferences, and track the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, but this may result in a degraded experience, requiring you to log in more frequently and losing your personalized game settings.
Partner & Compliance Transparency
| Partner Category | Access Level | Audit Source |
|---|---|---|
| Payment Gateways | Transaction Data Only | NPCI Security |
| KYC Agencies | Document Verification | MeitY Standards |
| Tax Authorities | TDS & Net Winnings | Income Tax Dept |
