Privacy Policy

1. Information You Provide

You may provide a guest username, table join details, and gameplay inputs such as betting actions or submitted words. If you contact the operator, you may also provide the information included in that message.

2. Information Collected Automatically

To run multiplayer tables and protect the service, the app and its hosting providers may automatically process technical data such as IP address, browser or device information, timestamps, websocket connection data, reconnect session tokens, table identifiers, diagnostics, and error logs.

3. Local Browser Storage

The current app stores a small amount of information in your browser, including your guest username and sound preference, so the experience works smoothly across visits on the same device.

4. How We Use Information

• Operate tables, invite flows, reconnect, timers, and gameplay state.
• Display usernames and gameplay outcomes to players in the same table.
• Monitor uptime, diagnose bugs, investigate misuse, and improve the service.
• Measure product use if analytics are enabled in a hosted release.

5. What Other Players Can See

Your guest username, seat status, gameplay actions, submitted words, and match outcomes may be visible to other players in the same table. Invite codes are intended for private sharing, but anyone with a valid invite may be able to join that table while seats remain available.

6. Sharing

We do not describe this app as selling personal information. We may share information with service providers that host, secure, or monitor the app, with advisors or authorities when legally required, or as part of a business transfer.

7. Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for gameplay, security, troubleshooting, analytics, and legal compliance. Local browser storage remains on your device until you clear it.

8. Children

Hold'em Vowels is not directed to children under 13, and we do not intend to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact the operator so the information can be reviewed and deleted if appropriate.

9. Your Choices

• You can stop using the app at any time.
• You can clear local browser storage through your browser settings.
• Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction regarding personal information.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the current service, but no system is completely secure. Use the app with that understanding.

11. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the product, hosting stack, analytics, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date.
