Checklist for Implementation

  1. Google Play Console / Apple App Store: You are legally required to link to a hosted Privacy Policy on the web (e.g., on your website) from your app store listing.
  2. Age Restriction: Ensure you configure the age rating in the app stores correctly (usually “18+ due to simulated gambling themes” or “12+”). Failure to do so can result in app removal.
  3. Compliance: If your app involves real money (Rummy, Teen Patti with real cash), ensure you have the necessary Game of Skill licenses as required by your local state laws in India (e.g., Andhra Pradesh and Telangana often ban real money games).
  4. Third-Party Links: If you use AdMob or Facebook Audience Network, you must list them in Section 4 (“Sharing and Disclosure”) as they share data for ad targeting.
