Privacy Policy for PokerPath
Last updated:
Support: vicsothemes@gmail.com
This Privacy Policy describes how PokerPath (“we”, “our”, “the app”) handles information when you use our mobile app. The app is available on Google Play as “Learn Poker: Lessons & Trainer” and on the Apple App Store as “PokerPath”. This policy applies to both versions.
1. Information We Collect
PokerPath is designed to work mainly offline and does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use it. We do not operate our own servers for the app.
Locally Stored Data
The app stores the following information locally on your device only (it is never sent to us):
- Your lesson and drill progress
- Practice history and your spaced-repetition review schedule
- Practice table play-money chips, table rank and recent hand history
- Achievements, experience points and streak data
- Onboarding preferences, such as your poker experience level and preferred study time, and app settings
We do not have access to this data. If you have turned on device backup (through Apple iCloud or a computer backup on iOS, or through Google on Android), this data may be included in that backup, which you create and control yourself. Uninstalling the app deletes the data stored on your device; any backups are managed by you. Separately, the app uses the third-party services described below.
Study Reminders
Study reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device by the app itself. The app does not use a push notification service, and no push token is sent anywhere. You can turn reminders off at any time in your device’s system settings.
Purchase Information
If you choose to subscribe to Premium or buy lifetime access, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS). We use RevenueCat to verify purchases and unlock Premium features. RevenueCat collects an anonymous app user ID generated by the app, your subscription status and your transaction history. RevenueCat does not collect device identifiers. RevenueCat’s privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment card details. All payment processing is handled by Google Play or Apple.
You can manage or cancel your subscription in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions) on Android, or in your Apple ID settings (Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions) on iOS.
Usage Analytics
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and to improve it. It collects app events (such as screens viewed; lessons, drills and reviews started or completed; onboarding answers such as poker experience level and preferred study time; notification interactions; subscription screen views and purchases, including product ID, price and currency), an app instance identifier, and basic device information (device model, OS version, app version, language and approximate country). Approximate country is derived from your IP address; your IP address itself is not shared with us. This data is not linked to your identity, name or email address. Ad personalization signals are turned off.
On Android, collection of the advertising ID is turned off in the app. On iOS, the app does not access the Advertising Identifier (IDFA), does not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission and does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy, and Firebase privacy information at firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
PokerPath does not:
- Require account registration or login
- Collect your name, email address, phone number, or contacts
- Show third-party advertising
- Collect your advertising ID (Android) or IDFA (iOS), or include advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs
- Access your precise location, camera, microphone, photos or files
- Share, sell or rent your information to third parties for marketing
PokerPath is an educational app. Its practice table uses play-money chips only: chips cannot be bought, sold or cashed out, and there is no real-money gambling.
3. Children’s Privacy
PokerPath is intended for adults and is rated 18+ on the Apple App Store because it simulates poker (with play money only, no real money). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
4. Data Security
Because your learning progress is stored locally on your device rather than on our servers, you retain full control over it. Uninstalling the app permanently removes this data from your device. Data sent to RevenueCat and Google Analytics for Firebase is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
- Data stored locally on your device is kept for as long as the app is installed.
- Google Analytics for Firebase keeps event-level data for up to 14 months, after which it is deleted automatically. Aggregated, non-identifying reports may be kept longer.
- RevenueCat retains purchase data according to its own privacy policy (revenuecat.com/privacy).
There is no account to delete. Uninstalling the app deletes your local data and resets the anonymous RevenueCat app user ID. For any request about your data, email vicsothemes@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable law (such as the GDPR in the European Economic Area or the LGPD in Brazil) to access, correct or delete personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. Most of the data described above is processed by the third-party services we use (RevenueCat; Google, through Google Play Billing and Google Analytics for Firebase; and Apple, through the Apple App Store); please refer to their privacy policies for information on exercising those rights. These third-party services (Google, Apple and RevenueCat) protect your data at a level no lower than the protection described in this policy. You can also contact us and we will help with any request we are able to fulfil.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by an updated “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
