This Privacy Policy describes how Big D Development LLC, doing business as Poker Spot ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and handles your information when you use the Poker Spot mobile application (the "App"), including its account, cloud backup, and social features. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices. By creating an account, enabling cloud backup, choosing a username, publishing content through the App's social features, or otherwise using the App, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
The App works as an on-device tool by default. The data you enter (session logs, hand histories, notes, tags, bankroll records, and similar information) is stored on your device using local SQLite storage and AsyncStorage. If you choose to create an account and enable cloud backup (see "Account and Cloud Backup" below), a copy of certain data is also transmitted to and stored on our cloud servers so it can be restored on your devices.
Creating an account is optional and is only required if you want to back up your data to the cloud, restore it on another device, or keep your Pro status linked across devices. When you sign in, we (through our authentication provider) collect and store:
When cloud backup is enabled, the following data you enter into the App may be uploaded to and stored on our servers and associated with your account: session records (including location, stakes, game type, dates, buy-ins, cashouts, durations, notes, and tags), hand histories (including notation, notes, and tags), bankroll entries (including amounts and notes), and live-session stack check-ins. Receipt images and photos you attach to a session purely for your own private records are not uploaded to our servers and remain on your device. Images you choose to attach to a public post, and the avatar you set for your profile, are uploaded to and stored on our servers and served publicly (see "Public and Social Features" below).
If you use the App's optional social features, we also collect and store on our servers the information needed to operate them and to build your public profile. This includes your chosen username and display name, an optional avatar or profile photo and bio, and the social activity you generate: posts (including any text, images, and snapshots of hands or sessions you choose to share), comments, likes, follows, mentions, and Club memberships, together with an experience level derived from your training and social activity. Much of this information is public; see "Public and Social Features" below for what is visible to others.
If you purchase a Pro subscription, Day Pass, or Lifetime access, the transaction is processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We use RevenueCat to manage and verify subscription status. RevenueCat may collect a device identifier and purchase receipt information to determine your entitlements, and, if you have an account, may associate your entitlements with your account identifier. We do not receive your full payment card details at any time. Please review RevenueCat's privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.
If you grant notification permission, the App may send you two kinds of notifications. Some are scheduled and delivered locally on your device (for example, daily return reminders and live-session stack-count reminders) and are not sent through an external server. Others are push notifications delivered through a server, for example when someone likes or comments on your post, follows you, mentions you, or posts in a Club you belong to. To deliver these, we collect and store a push notification token for your device and use it, through the platform push services operated by Apple and Google and the Expo push service, to send the notification. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.
We do not run advertising SDKs or third-party analytics services. Our authentication and cloud backup provider processes limited technical information (such as IP address and request metadata) as a necessary part of operating, securing, and providing those services.
We collect a limited set of first-party usage events on our own servers to understand how the App is used and to fix problems. These events include things like when the App is opened, when a session or hand is saved, when a share or paywall screen is shown, when a purchase completes, and error reports if the App crashes (including a technical error message and stack trace). Each event is associated with a randomly generated per-install identifier, your platform (iOS or Android) and App version, and, if you are signed in, your account identifier. These events do not include the contents of your session logs, hand histories, notes, or bankroll records, and they are not shared with third-party analytics providers.
We use the information described above to provide and operate the App's features, including:
The App includes optional social features: public usernames and profiles, a global feed and a following feed, posts, comments, likes, follows, mentions, and group spaces called Clubs. These features stay off until you choose to use them. When you create a username you make certain information public, and when you publish content you make it visible to others, as described below.
If you choose a username, the following profile information is public and may be visible to other users of the App: your username, display name, avatar or profile photo, bio, experience level and card-level badge, follower and following counts, your public posts, and indicators such as Pro or verified status. Your email address and your private session, hand, and bankroll records are never part of your public profile.
When you publish a post (which may include text, an image, or a snapshot of a hand or session you choose to share), or when you comment, like, follow, or mention another user, that content and activity are stored on our cloud servers and shared with others according to the audience you select:
A post is a separate, public snapshot of only what you chose to share. Publishing does not expose your underlying private session and hand records: for a session post you may hide your profit/loss, and your private notes and receipt photos are never included. Images you attach to a post, and your profile avatar, are uploaded to and stored on our cloud servers and served publicly.
Once you share content with others, you cannot fully control what they do with it. Other users may view, screenshot, save, or re-share it, and copies may persist with them or in caches even after you delete the original. Deleting a post, comment, or your account removes content from our active systems but does not guarantee removal of copies others have made.
Clubs are group spaces that other users may join, in some cases by entering a password set by the Club's owner. If you create or join a Club, your membership and the content you post there are visible to other members, and Club owners and administrators can see member activity within the Club and may remove members or content. Do not post anything to a Club that you would not want other members to see.
We may create aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data and statistics derived from information in the App, including poker hand histories and notation, session and gameplay records, training and simulator activity, and usage patterns. We do this using technical and organizational measures designed so that the resulting data cannot reasonably be used, alone or in combination with information we hold, to identify you.
We may use and retain this aggregated and de-identified data on a perpetual basis for any lawful business purpose, including to operate, analyze, and improve the App; to conduct research and develop new products and features; to develop, train, and improve algorithms, machine-learning models, and poker analysis tools and solvers; and to disclose, license, or sell such data, and any models or products derived from it, to third parties. Because this data does not identify you, it is not treated as personal information, and our commitment not to sell your personal information (described below) does not apply to it. We maintain and use this data in de-identified form and do not attempt to re-identify it or to link it back to you or your account. Where we disclose, license, or sell such data to a third party, we contractually require the recipient to keep it in de-identified form and to not attempt to re-identify it. We will not publicly publish your individual personal data as part of these activities.
We may use the email address associated with your account to send you news, feature announcements, promotions, and other marketing communications about Poker Spot and related products or services. Where required by applicable law, we will only send such communications with your consent. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us at the address below. Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional or service-related messages (such as sign-in links, purchase confirmations, security alerts, or material changes to these policies), which we may continue to send as part of operating the App. We do not sell your email address.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information (see "Aggregated and De-Identified Data" above regarding non-identifying data). We share information only with service providers who process it on our behalf to operate the App, and only as needed to provide their service, with other users where you choose to publish content, or as otherwise described below:
Our service providers may store and process your information on servers located in the United States or other countries. By using the App and enabling cloud backup, you understand and consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information in jurisdictions that may have data-protection laws different from those of your country.
The App includes an optional hand-sharing feature that encodes a hand's notation into a deep link (pokerspot://hand/v1/...) or plain text that you can send to another player. Sharing is entirely user-initiated. We do not receive, store, or process the content of shared hands on our servers. When you share a hand, you are responsible for the content you choose to share.
Data stored on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the App. You can delete individual sessions or hands from within the App at any time; if cloud backup is enabled, deletions you make on your device are intended to propagate to your cloud backup the next time your data syncs.
We retain account information and backed-up data for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide the service. You may request deletion of your account and the data we hold for it by contacting us at the address below; we will delete or anonymize that data within a reasonable period, except where we are required or permitted to retain it (for example, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements). Purchase records held by RevenueCat or your device platform are governed by those services' policies; please contact them directly regarding such records.
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact information below and we will take steps to delete it.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Data backed up to the cloud is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored by our providers using their security controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for safeguarding access to your account and the device on which you use the App. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any unauthorized access to, loss of, or alteration of your data.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, or to opt out of certain processing. You can exercise many of these choices directly in the App (for example, editing or deleting your data) or by contacting us. We will respond to verifiable requests as required by applicable law. You may also decline to create an account, in which case the App continues to function as an on-device tool without cloud backup.
This section applies to California residents and supplements the rest of this policy. It uses terms defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the "CCPA").
In the past 12 months, depending on how you use the App, we have collected the following categories of personal information, as described in more detail in "Information We Collect" above:
We collect this information for the business and commercial purposes described in "How We Use Your Information" above. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require us to offer a right to limit under the CCPA.
In the past 12 months, we have disclosed the categories of personal information above to our service providers for business purposes only, as described in "Data Sharing and Service Providers" above, and, for content you choose to publish, to other users. We do not use or disclose your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the CCPA, and we have not done so in the past 12 months. As described in "Aggregated and De-Identified Data" above, we may disclose, license, or sell aggregated and de-identified data, but that data is not personal information because it does not identify you, and we contractually require recipients not to re-identify it. Because we do not sell or share personal information, we do not offer a separate "Do Not Sell or Share" opt-out mechanism.
Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the right to:
You can exercise many choices directly in the App, such as editing or deleting your data or deleting your account (see "Data Retention and Deletion" above). To make a California rights request, email us at Administrator@pokerspot.gg with the details of your request. We will verify your request using the email address associated with your account and will respond as required by the CCPA. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, provided the agent gives us written proof of authorization and we can verify your identity. If you would like us to exclude your information from our aggregated and de-identified datasets, you may tell us at the same address and we will honor reasonable requests.
California's "Shine the Light" law (Civil Code Section 1798.83) permits California residents to request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for those third parties' own direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, if changes are material, provide notice within the App or by email. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us at:
