YAMANO APPS & GAMES

Official Site & Privacy Policy for all mobile applications and games by Yamano

🔒 Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to all mobile applications and games published by Yamano (hereby referred to as "Service Provider" or "Yamano"), collectively referred to as the "Applications and Games". This service is intended for use "AS IS".

Information Collection and Use

The Service collects information when you download and use it. This information may include information such as:

The Service does not gather precise information about the location of your mobile device, and never asks you for location permission. Advertising networks may derive an approximate location — at the level of a city or a region, deduced from your IP address — in order to choose which advertisements to show; see Advertising, and Apple devices below.

The Service Provider may use the information you provided to contact you from time to time to provide you with important information, required notices and marketing promotions.

For a better experience, while using any of the Applications and Games, the Service Provider may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. The information that the Service Provider request will be retained by them and used as described in this privacy policy.

Third Party Access

Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to aid the Service Provider in improving the Applications and Games and their service. The Service Provider may share your information with third parties in the ways that are described in this privacy statement.

Please note that the Applications and Games utilize third-party services that have their own Privacy Policy about handling data. The following is a list of services that may be used by our Applications and Games (though not all third parties are present in every app):

Online Game Modes and Leaderboards

Some of our games offer an online multiplayer mode and leaderboards. When you use these features, the following services process data on our behalf:

The Service Provider may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:

In-game chat

In Ronda 3D, Hez Jouj and Dama Online, players at the same online table can exchange short messages (25 characters maximum) and emojis, either with the whole table or privately with an opponent.

Voice messages

In Ronda 3D and Hez Jouj on Android, players at the same online table can send each other short voice messages: a few seconds each, three per game, plus one more for every 50 flouss (the game's virtual coins, earned by playing) in the player's balance, up to a limit. Nothing is spent to send them. Voice messages are not available on iPhone and iPad for now.

Friends

In Ronda 3D and Hez Jouj, you can add other players as friends: the players you met at an online table (“+ Friend” at the end of a game, or next to “Block” when you report a player), or someone you know, with their friend code. The game never asks for your phone number, and never reads your contacts or your address book.

Sign in with Google or Facebook, and your profile backup

In Ronda 3D and Hez Jouj on Android, you can choose to sign in with your Google account — and, where the button is shown, with your Facebook account — from Settings → Save my progress. Signing in is optional: the games work fully without it. It is not offered on iPhone and iPad for now. In Qahwa on Android, “Continue with Google” does the same for the three games at once (see Qahwa).

The café radio

In Ronda 3D and Hez Jouj on Android, the old radio set of the café can play five Moroccan radio stations live. It never turns itself on: only you switch it on, and it falls silent when the game goes to the background, while an advertisement is displayed, while you record a voice message, and when you turn the game's sound off. The radio is not available on iPhone and iPad. Qahwa and Chabaka on Android have the same radio, with the same stations and the same rules.

Your city, and the radio of a table

In Ronda 3D and Hez Jouj, you can choose to show your city — or your country, if you live outside Morocco — next to your name. It is optional: nothing is shown until you pick a city or a country.

Prayer times and the call to prayer (Ronda 3D, Android)

In Ronda 3D on Android, when the game is played in Darija, the game can play the call to prayer (the adhan) during a game, at prayer time: the table goes quiet for the duration of the call, and a tap anywhere on the screen stops it. It can be turned off in the in-game menu (“Adhan during the game”). It is not available on iPhone and iPad for now.

Notifications

Some of our games — Ronda 3D and Hez Jouj — can send you notifications about the game itself: that a player is waiting alone in the online lobby, or that someone has opened a table with friends and shared its code, so that you can join that table in one tap; and, if you have friends in the game, that a player wants to be your friend, that your request was accepted, or that a friend invites you to their table.

You can turn notifications off at any time in the game (Settings → Notifications), or in your phone's system settings. Turning them off unsubscribes your device, and no further message is sent to it.

Advertising, and Apple devices (iPhone and iPad)

Our games are free and are funded by advertising, served by Google AdMob. What is done with your data for those advertisements depends entirely on the answers you give when the game first starts.

Our games are distributed on Google Play and on the Apple App Store, and Hez Jouj VR and Ronda 3D VR on the Meta Horizon Store. Apple, Google and Meta each apply their own privacy policy to their store; the present policy covers only what happens inside the games.

Hez Jouj VR and Ronda 3D VR (Meta Quest)

Hez Jouj VR and Ronda 3D VR are the virtual-reality editions of Hez Jouj and Ronda 3D for Meta Quest headsets. They are free and contain no advertising, no in-app purchases and no analytics: none of the advertising and measurement services described above are present in them.

Qahwa — the café of Ronda 3D, Hez Jouj and Dama & Chess

Qahwa is a 3D Moroccan café where you see the online tables of Ronda 3D, Hez Jouj and Dama & Chess El Haj Brahim and sit down at them. The three games are included in Qahwa and work as described in the sections above (online modes and leaderboards, in-game chat, friends, characters and names, your city), with three differences: inside Qahwa they send no notifications, they record no voice messages, and signing in is done by the café itself (below).

Chabaka — the café crosswords

Chabaka is the arrow-words corner of the café as a game of its own: grids in Arabic, in French and from French to Arabic, three levels, letters written with a pen, a timer, and a leaderboard of the fastest solvers.

Characters and names

The characters in our games — the opponents at the table, El Haj Brahim, and the character you create for yourself — are fictional. They are assembled from a built-in catalogue of faces, skin tones, hairstyles, beards and outfits, and the names of the computer opponents are drawn at random from common first names and nicknames. They are not modelled on any real person: any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Football-style shirts use plain colours only, with no club crest, brand, sponsor or real player's name.

The character you create is stored on your device (and in your private profile backup if you sign in). At online tables, only a short code describing it (made of items from the same catalogue — never a photo, a drawing or free text) is shared with the players of your table, for the duration of the game. If you sign in with Google or Facebook and leave “Show my photo online” on, your profile photo is also shown to them — see Sign in with Google or Facebook.

Moroccan memes and your own sounds (Hez Jouj)

The memes are played by the game itself, on each player's device, in offline and online games. Nothing about them is sent to us or to the other players: at an online table, each phone plays its own meme.

In Settings › My meme sounds, you can add links (https) to your own sound files. These links are stored on your device — and, if you sign in with Google or Facebook, in your private profile backup, which only you can read. They are never shared with other players, and they are removed when you delete them (or, for the device, when you uninstall the game). The game plays each sound directly from the address you entered (when you add it, when you listen to it and when a meme plays). The website that hosts the file receives this request, like any web page you open (it may see your IP address), and its own privacy policy applies. Only use sounds you have the right to use.

Delete your account and your data

This applies to Ronda 3D, Hez Jouj and Dama Online (formerly Dama 3D) on Android, iPhone and iPad, published by Yamano. You do not need to contact us: the game deletes your online account and its data itself.

  1. Open the game.
  2. Go to Game options → My account (the same button is on the Online screen, under your nickname).
  3. Tap “Delete my account” and confirm.

Deleted immediately: your leaderboard row (your nickname and your number of wins), your player ID, your reserved nickname, your notification token, your friends data (your friends list and your entry in your friends' lists, your friend requests, your friend code and your blocks), your profile backup and the link with your Google or Facebook account if you signed in, and your account itself. If you signed in with Google or Facebook, the game first asks you to confirm that account: this security step is required before an account can be deleted, and nothing is erased if you cancel it. The counter of friend requests sent in the last 24 hours is deleted automatically within 24 hours. Chat messages, voice messages and online game records are temporary anyway: they are deleted automatically within the times given above (voice messages within 48 hours at the latest), and no backup copy is kept.

Kept: moderation reports. If you reported a player, or a player reported you, the report (anonymous identifiers, nickname, reason, time and, for chat, the last messages) is kept so that we can review it and keep banned players away from online tables. It contains no name, e-mail address or phone number, and once your account is deleted its identifier no longer points to anyone. Your statistics and settings are stored on your phone (and, if you signed in, in your private profile backup, which is deleted with your account); those on your phone are erased when you uninstall the game or clear its data.

By e-mail: you can also ask us to delete any data linked to your anonymous identifier, moderation reports included, by writing to zmi.amn@gmail.com with your nickname and the name of the game. We reply within 30 days. On Meta Quest (Hez Jouj VR and Ronda 3D VR), this e-mail is the way to have your online data deleted sooner, as described above.

Qahwa: open the side menu → My account → Delete my account, and confirm. Qahwa deletes, in Ronda 3D, Hez Jouj and Dama & Chess at once, everything listed above for each game — leaderboard rows, player ID, reserved name, friends data, profile backup and the link with your Google account if you used “Continue with Google” (Google first asks you to confirm that account), and the accounts themselves. If one of the servers cannot be reached, Qahwa tells you and finishes the deletion the next time you open it. Moderation reports are kept as described above.

Chabaka: Chabaka has no account other than its anonymous identifier. To have your leaderboard times, your name and your identifier deleted, write to zmi.amn@gmail.com with the name you use in Chabaka and “Chabaka”; we delete them within 30 days. Uninstalling the app erases everything stored on your phone.

Opt-Out Rights

You can stop all collection of information by the specific Application or Game easily by uninstalling it. You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.

You may refuse notifications when your phone asks, or switch them off later in the game (Settings → Notifications) or in your phone's settings, without losing any other feature.

You may turn voice messages off in the game menu, and refuse or withdraw the microphone permission in your phone's settings, without losing any other feature.

Signing in with Google or Facebook is optional. You may sign out at any time, hide your profile photo from other players (“Show my photo online”), or remove the game's access from your Google or Facebook account settings.

On iPhone and iPad, you may withdraw tracking permission at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. In Europe, you may reopen the advertising consent form from the game's settings and change your answer. In both cases the game remains fully playable; only the advertisements become non-personalised.

You may stop using the online features at any time, and delete your account and your data from the game: see Delete your account and your data.

Data Retention Policy

The Service Provider will retain User Provided data for as long as you use the Applications and Games and for a reasonable time thereafter. If you'd like them to delete User Provided Data that you have provided via any of the Applications and Games, please contact them at zmi.amn@gmail.com and they will respond in a reasonable time.

Children

The Service Provider does not use the Applications and Games to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13.

The Applications and Games do not address anyone under the age of 13. The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. In the case the Service Provider discover that a child under 13 has provided personal information, the Service Provider will immediately delete this from their servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact the Service Provider (zmi.amn@gmail.com) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions.

Security

The Service Provider is concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. The Service Provider provides physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information the Service Provider processes and maintains. Data exchanged with our online services is encrypted in transit.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes to the Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.
