Privacy
The short version: we collect as little as we can. You can play without giving us your name, email address or age, and we never sell or share your data.
What we collect, and why
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing personal | When you play on this device only, or sign in with a passkey | A passkey gives us only a public key. |
| Email address | Only if you choose email sign-in, or a sign-in provider shares it | Sign-in codes and replies to support requests |
| Apple, Google or Meta account id | Only if you choose that sign-in | Signing you in |
| Table name, chair color, optional photo, public handle | When you choose them | Shown to your family; your handle is shown to other players in Compete |
| Game history, ratings, chat, gems and purchases | While you play | Running the app. Payment details stay with Apple, Google or Stripe. |
| Notification token, app version, time zone | On your device | Notifications and season timing |
What we never do
- We don’t ask for, store or guess your age.
- We don’t use ad SDKs or third-party analytics, and we don’t sell or share your data.
- Table talk is relayed live and never recorded.
- Our usage counts are anonymous: no user id, device id or IP address, only the event, the platform, the app version and a count. Crash reports are the same.
- IP addresses are used for rate limiting and to check the country for our website (US only). They aren’t stored.
Who can see what
Your family (the people at your tables) sees your table name, chair, photo and chat. Other players in Compete see only your handle, rank and the looks you show off. Chat and voice are for family only; there is no chat or voice with strangers.
Your choices
- Download your data: Me › Sign-in and passkeys › Download my data. We email or show you a file with everything we hold.
- Delete your account: Me › Sign-in and passkeys › Delete my account. You have 30 days to change your mind; then it’s gone for good.
- Photos: you can remove your photo at any time.
- Notifications: choose which ones you get, and set quiet hours.
Service providers
We run on Cloudflare. Purchases are handled by Apple, Google or Stripe, and sign-in by Apple, Google or Meta only if you choose them. Each handles data under its own privacy policy.
