Privacy Policy
Last updated October 3, 2026
Bring Your Own Cards ("BYOC", "we", "us") is a real-time poker night session manager: chip tracking, blinds, and settlement — you still play with a real deck of cards. This policy explains what data the app collects and why.
Information we collect
- Display name — the name you enter to join a game. No email, phone number, or password is required to use the app.
- Anonymous account ID — created automatically via Firebase Anonymous Authentication so your device can rejoin a game in progress.
- Game data — chip counts, actions, blinds, and settlement results for games you create or join, stored so all players at the table can sync in real time.
- Basic usage events — page visits and actions such as creating a table, joining, playing a hand, and ending a session. These events do not include your display name, room code, account ID, or buy-in amounts.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your data or share it with third parties for advertising.
- We don't serve ads.
- We don't require or collect real names, emails, or payment information.
How data is stored
Game and account data is stored using Google Firebase (Firestore/Authentication). Aggregate, privacy-friendly usage analytics are collected via Vercel Web Analytics, which does not use cookies or track individuals across sites.
We also use Google Analytics. Collection starts as soon as you open the app. Google receives the page you visit, device and browser details, and coarse product events such as creating a table or finishing a hand. We do not send room codes, display names, account IDs, or money amounts. Google processes this data for us so we can understand how BYOC is used. Questions about this data, or a request to delete game data we store, can be sent to the contact below.
Data retention & deletion
