This privacy policy applies to the Lottery Sambad mobile application (package name com.devtech.dearlotterysambad), created by Dev Technology Solutions as a Free, ad-supported service. This service is intended for use as is.
About the Application: Lottery Sambad is an information-only application that displays the published results of state government lotteries in India. The Application does not sell, promote, advertise or facilitate the purchase of lottery tickets, and it does not involve any payment, betting or real-money transactions.
