PokerPall
Who we are
PokerPall is developed and operated by Puredata OÜ, a company registered in Estonia, European Union. As an EU-registered company we are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What data we collect and why
PokerPall works without an account. No email address, no sign-in, no profile. The list below covers every type of data that leaves your device.
- Game history and player data — everything you enter (player names, buy-in amounts, chip counts, game results) is stored locally on your device. This data is never sent to our servers.
- Multiplayer session data — when you start or join a multiplayer game, the room code and the player name you enter for that session are sent to Supabase to sync the game across devices in real time. This data exists only for the duration of the game. When the game ends, the session is deleted from Supabase immediately. No game history is retained server-side.
- Camera (when scanning a QR code) — the app requests camera access only when you choose to scan a QR code to join a multiplayer game. The camera is never accessed silently or in the background, and no images or video are captured or stored.
- Anonymous usage analytics — we use PostHog to collect anonymous usage events such as which screens you visit and which features you use. These events contain no personal data and cannot be linked to you individually. This helps us understand how the app is used so we can improve it.
- Advertising (free tier only) — on the free tier, Google AdMob shows banner and interstitial ads. Google may collect your advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android) and use it to personalise ads. This data is controlled by Google under its privacy policy. You can opt out of personalised ads in your device settings. The premium tier has no ads and no advertising data is collected.
- In-app purchase — if you buy the premium upgrade, the transaction is processed entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store. RevenueCat receives an anonymised purchase receipt to verify your purchase. We do not see or store your payment details.
What we do not collect
- We do not collect your name, email address, or any contact information
- We do not store game history or player data on our servers
- We do not sell your data to any third party
- We do not track your location
Data storage and security
Multiplayer session data is stored in a Supabase database in Frankfurt, Germany (EU) and deleted immediately when the game ends. Anonymous analytics events are processed by PostHog and stored in the EU. All data in transit is encrypted using TLS.
