Bingo Duel
Last updated: April 26, 2026
Overview
Bingo Duel is designed to keep your game and card data under your control. The app does not use third-party advertising SDKs, does not sell personal information, and does not track you across apps or websites.
Some features use Apple services, such as iCloud, Game Center, StoreKit, local network discovery, and system photo or camera pickers. Those services are provided by Apple and are also governed by Apple's privacy policy.
Information the App Stores
Bingo Duel may store the following information on your device and, when iCloud is available, in your private iCloud container:
- Custom bingo cards, including card titles, tile text, grid layout, and optional tile images you add.
- Game history, such as wins, losses, forfeits, game type, match date, win pattern, XP, level progress, and recent match participants.
- Local match state, such as ready status and marked squares for an active multiplayer game.
- Purchased or restored card-set entitlement state provided by Apple's StoreKit APIs.
This information is used to provide the app's core features, sync your content across your devices, resume games, show your game profile, and support achievements and leaderboards.
iCloud and CloudKit
If you are signed in to iCloud and iCloud is available for the app, Bingo Duel uses Apple's CloudKit service to sync supported app data across your devices. This may include custom cards, card images, and game result history.
The developer does not operate a separate server for this sync data. iCloud sync is handled by Apple under your Apple Account.
Game Center
Bingo Duel uses Game Center for multiplayer matches, achievements, leaderboards, challenges, and activities. When you use Game Center features, Apple may provide the app with Game Center information needed to run those features, such as your player identifier, display name, match identifiers, participant names, match state, achievement progress, and leaderboard scores.
Game results may be associated with your Game Center player identifier so that your profile, XP, levels, achievements, and leaderboard submissions apply to the correct player.
Nearby Multiplayer
Bingo Duel may use local network discovery for nearby multiplayer. This lets devices on the same local network discover and connect to each other for gameplay. The app uses this access only for nearby match discovery and gameplay.
Photos and Camera
If you choose to add an image to a custom bingo tile, Bingo Duel may use the system photo picker, file picker, or camera interface. The selected or captured image is used for the card tile you create. The app does not access your full photo library unless you choose an image through Apple's picker, and it does not use images for advertising or tracking.
Purchases
Bingo Duel uses Apple's StoreKit system for in-app purchases and restore purchases. Purchase processing, payment information, refunds, and Family Sharing are handled by Apple. The app receives transaction information needed to unlock purchased card sets.
Sharing and Imports
Bingo Duel supports card-package files and app links so you can import or share custom bingo cards. Shared card packages may include the card content you choose to share, such as tile text and layout. Do not share cards that contain information you do not want others to see.
Diagnostics
The app may write diagnostic messages to the device console to help diagnose sync, Game Center, purchase, import, or gameplay issues. These diagnostics are intended for troubleshooting and are not used for advertising or tracking.
Data Sharing
The developer does not sell your personal information. Bingo Duel does not include third-party advertising or tracking services. Data may be shared with Apple only as needed for Apple-provided features, including iCloud, Game Center, StoreKit, app distribution, crash diagnostics, and App Store services.
Your Choices
- You can delete custom cards and previous match entries in the app.
- You can manage iCloud, Game Center, local network, and notification access in iOS or macOS Settings.
- You can stop using Game Center features by signing out of Game Center or avoiding online multiplayer, achievements, leaderboards, challenges, and activities.
- You can manage purchases, refunds, and Family Sharing through Apple.
Children's Privacy
Bingo Duel is not designed to collect personal information from children. Game Center availability, restrictions, and parental controls are managed by Apple and device settings.
