Why We Even Wrote This
Let’s be honest: nobody wakes up excited to read a Privacy Policy. It’s the broccoli on the plate of the internet — necessary, healthy, but not exactly sexy. Still, if you’re here, it means one of two things: either you care about your data (good on you), or you clicked the wrong link while hunting for the latest Crazy Time bonus. Either way, stay with me. I promise this isn’t just legal wallpaper.
At Crazy Time India, we deal with real people. Not “users,” not “data subjects,” not faceless traffic in Google Analytics. People. From Mumbai students sneaking a spin at midnight to professionals in Delhi playing during chai breaks, to uncles in Pune debating strategies with more passion than cricket stats. If you’re here, your trust matters, and we’re not going to throw it away.
This Privacy Policy is our attempt to speak plainly — about what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have under Indian law (and beyond). No vague promises, no fine print that hides more than it reveals. Think of it like a backstage tour: you’ll see the ropes, the pulleys, the wires — the things usually hidden. Because if you’re going to play Crazy Time with us, you deserve to know the full picture.
What We Collect (And What We Don’t)
Let’s start with the obvious: yes, we collect data. Everyone does. The question is: what exactly, and why?
Information You Give Us
When you sign up, drop your email, or send us a late-night rant about losing three spins in a row — that’s voluntary information. It usually includes:
- Name (or whatever you typed; we’ve seen everything from “Amit” to “King of Spins”).
- Email address (so we can send confirmations, not spam you).
- Phone number (optional, but handy for two-factor authentication).
- Payment details (not stored directly by us; processed via secure gateways).
Information We Get Automatically
The moment you load the site, your browser starts whispering little facts:
- Device type (iPhone? Android? A Windows desktop from 2010?).
- IP address (which often hints at your city).
- Browser version (because some of you still use Internet Explorer — why?).
- Pages you visit and time spent (because it helps us improve, not stalk).
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies aren’t the chocolate-chip kind. They’re tiny text files your browser stores. Some make the site work smoothly; others track preferences so you don’t retype your login every time. We’ll dive deeper into this in the Cookies section below.
What We Don’t Collect
- We don’t record your webcam.
- We don’t eavesdrop on your mic.
- We don’t scrape your WhatsApp.
- And we definitely don’t care about your Google Drive full of old college assignments.
We’re not in the business of spying. We’re in the business of games.
How We Use This Data (The Honest Version)
Data collection isn’t inherently evil. It’s what you do with it. So here’s what we actually use your info for:
- To run the site — If you can’t log in, can’t spin, can’t withdraw — what’s the point?
- To improve the experience — We look at analytics the way a cricket coach looks at replays. Not for gossip, but to figure out what’s working and what isn’t.
- To keep it safe — Fraud exists. Bots exist. Bad actors exist. We use data to keep them out.
- To stay in touch — Occasionally we’ll drop a promo, a newsletter, or an update. You can always opt out.
Cookies: Explained Without Tech Jargon
Think of cookies like spices in Indian cooking. Some are essential, some optional, some you could live without, but they all change the flavor.
Here’s how it looks for Crazy Time India:
| Cookie Type | What It Does | Can You Block It? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Keeps the site functional — logins, sessions. | No, unless you want the site broken. |
| Preference Cookies | Remembers settings like language. | Yes. You’ll just re-select every time. |
| Analytics Cookies | Tells us how people use the site. | Yes, with minor loss of insights. |
| Marketing Cookies | Helps us show relevant promos. | Yes, but you’ll still see ads, just random ones. |
We’ll always give you control. If you want a cookie-free diet, your browser has the tools.
Third-Party Services We Rely On
We’re not building everything from scratch. That’d be like opening a chai stall and growing your own tea leaves. We use trusted third parties.
| Service | Purpose | Example Providers |
|---|---|---|
| Payment Gateways | Secure transactions | Razorpay, PayU |
| Analytics | Usage insights | Google Analytics |
| Marketing / Ads | Showing relevant offers | Facebook Ads, Google Ads |
| Cloud Hosting | Keeping the site online | AWS, DigitalOcean |
Do these third parties collect data? Yes. Do they sell it to shady operators in some corner of the dark web? No. They have their own policies, and we pick providers with reputations to protect.
Your Rights Under Indian Law
India’s still catching up on data privacy. The Information Technology Act (2000) and its SPDI Rules cover sensitive personal data, while the new Digital Personal Data Protection Act (2023) is starting to take shape. What does this mean for you?
- Right to access — Ask us what data we have about you. We’ll tell you.
- Right to correction — Spot an error? We’ll fix it.
- Right to withdraw consent — Don’t want us storing info anymore? Say the word.
- Right to be forgotten — You can request deletion. (Except where the law requires retention — like financial transactions).
We’re not hiding behind legal fog. If you want clarity, email us.
Security: Not Just a Buzzword
We treat security the way Indians treat monsoon prep — take it lightly, and you’ll drown.
- Encryption protects your transactions.
- Firewalls keep intruders out.
- Regular audits ensure we don’t miss cracks.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) keeps your account safer than just a password.
No system is 100% bulletproof. If someone tells you otherwise, they’re selling snake oil. But we take enough steps to make a breach highly unlikely.
Children’s Privacy
Crazy Time is not meant for kids. Period. If you’re under 18, this site is not your playground. We don’t knowingly collect data from minors, and if somehow we discover it, we wipe it. Simple as that.
International Data Transfers
Though we focus on India, the internet doesn’t care about borders. Some data may be processed outside India (think cloud servers in Singapore or the U.S.). We ensure these transfers respect privacy standards.
Changes to This Policy
The digital world moves fast. What’s true today may not be tomorrow. If we change this Privacy Policy, we’ll update it here and, if it’s a big shift, we’ll shout louder — maybe even an email.
