We do not control how these third parties process your data. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

2.4 In-App Purchases and Billing

If you make purchases in the App, purchases are processed by Google Play and their payment systems. We receive transaction metadata such as product identifiers, purchase timestamps, and entitlement status, but we do not receive your full payment card details from the app stores.

2.5 Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not collect any "Special Categories of Personal Data" (race, religion, political opinions, health data).
• We do not require formal identity verification documents to use our service under normal circumstances.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide and operate the App: Including setting up your account, providing Service features, running our virtualized rewards system, calculating in-app Bitcoin rewards, processing withdrawals, and managing referrals.
• To improve and optimize the Service: Analyzing usage and performance, troubleshooting issues, and developing new features.
• To show ads and measure their performance: Including rewarded ads that can grant in-app rewards, subject to applicable consent requirements.

6. International Transfers

We are based in the United Kingdom, but our service providers and infrastructure may be located in other countries. This means your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction.

Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission) to protect personal data transferred outside the EEA/UK.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legal rights.

In general:

• Account and usage data are kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward.
• Transaction and withdrawal records may be kept longer where required for accounting, tax, legal, or security reasons.
• Support communications are retained as long as needed to manage your requests.
• Log and analytics data may be stored for a limited period.

When data is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize it. Some data may persist in backups for a limited time until those backups are rotated.

9. Children's Privacy

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@b99tech.com so we can take appropriate action, including deletion where required.

Some data may persist in backups for a limited time.

11. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

12. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and App may use cookies, SDKs and similar technologies to operate the Service, remember your preferences, and understand how the Service is used.

• Strictly Necessary: Help the Service function (e.g., authentication, security).
• Analytics: Help us understand usage and improve performance.
• Advertising: Help deliver and measure ads, including rewarded ads, subject to consent where required.

You can control cookies through your browser settings or device settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect some features of the Service.

13. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to external websites or services that are not operated by us (for example, wallet providers, exchanges, or community channels). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

14. Virtual Mining / Rewards and Blockchain Transparency

The App uses a software-based (virtualized) rewards system. Terms like "mining", "hashrate", "hash power", "contracts", "boosts", and "multipliers" describe in-app mechanics used solely to calculate and display rewards under our internal rules. They do not represent direct ownership of, or rights to, any physical mining hardware or real-world hashrate.

When you choose to withdraw Bitcoin, the resulting transactions are processed on public blockchain networks (such as the Bitcoin network). Information recorded on these networks (including your wallet address and transaction details) may be publicly visible and cannot be deleted by us.

15. Automated Decision-Making

We may use automated systems to help detect fraud, abuse, or policy violations (for example, identifying suspicious sign-ups or repeated abusive behavior). These processes are used to protect the Service and users and may result in actions such as limiting features, requiring additional verification, or blocking abusive activity.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where required by law, we will notify you via the App or by other appropriate means. Your continued use of the App after any changes will constitute your acknowledgment of the changes and your agreement to be bound by the updated policy.
