Who this applies to
This Privacy Policy covers the Telegram Mini Apps published by Betty Games, including Betty Scores (@bettyscores_bot) and Avocado Farm (@avocadofarm_bot). "We" / "us" refers to Betty Games.
What we collect
When you open one of our Mini Apps inside Telegram, the Telegram client provides a signed initData payload that includes:
- Your Telegram user ID
- Your Telegram username and first name
- Your language code
- Your Telegram Premium status (true/false)
We also store gameplay state generated by you: plots, planted trees, inventory, labor timers, predictions, scores, and (for Stars-paid items) purchase records.
We do not collect phone numbers, email addresses, contact lists, location, photos, or device identifiers.
How we use it
- Identity — the Telegram user ID is the primary key for your in-game account.
- Gameplay — to record your progress and resolve game timers.
- Leaderboards — your Telegram username may appear in in-game leaderboards visible to other players.
- Prize payouts — if you win a weekly prize, you may connect a TON wallet through TON Connect; the wallet address is used only to send the prize and is not shared with third parties.
How we verify your identity
Every API request is authenticated by validating the HMAC signature of Telegram's initData payload server-side, using our bot token as the key. This ensures your account cannot be impersonated by another client.
Who processes the data
- Telegram — operates the Mini App container and Bot API. Their privacy policy: telegram.org/privacy.
- Cloudflare — hosts our API workers and stores game state in a Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) database. Their privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
- The TON network — used only when you opt in to a prize payout via TON Connect. Wallet addresses and on-chain transactions are public by nature.
We do not sell or share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party not listed above.
Payments
In-app digital purchases (e.g., tools, upgrades) use Telegram Stars. Payment processing is handled by Telegram; we receive only a confirmation that a purchase succeeded and the item to grant. We do not see your payment method.
Data retention
We keep your account and gameplay data as long as you continue to use the app. You can request deletion at any time by emailing hello@bettygames.app from a Telegram account that can identify your user ID; we will delete your data within 30 days.
Children
Our Mini Apps are not directed to children under 13. By using them, you confirm you meet the minimum age set by Telegram's terms in your country.
Changes
If we update this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, surface a notice inside the Mini App.
Contact
Questions, deletion requests, or anything else: hello@bettygames.app.
