Privacy Policy

Royal Poker Match · Effective 14 July 2026 · Version 1

This Privacy Policy explains how Royal Poker Match (“the Game”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, Android app, or related services.

By creating an account or using the Game, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the service.

1. Who we are

Royal Poker Match is a casual skill game in which players form poker hands on a board, compete in Solo, Quick Play, friend challenges, and tournaments, and may purchase optional in-game currency.

For privacy questions or data requests, use the in-app Support option in Settings, or submit an account deletion request. You can also use the contact email listed on our Google Play store listing.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you play, we may collect:

• Account data — username, password (stored as a secure hash), optional email (for password recovery), and Google account identifiers if you sign in with Google.
• Gameplay & progress — level progress, stars, scores, ratings (Elo), tournament and challenge results, energy/gem balances, and related game events needed to sync your save and run multiplayer / leaderboards.
• Device & technical data — approximate device type, app version, and log data needed to operate and secure the service. If you enable push notifications, we store a device push token.
• Purchases — if you buy gems, payment is processed by our payment provider (for example Square). We store purchase records needed to grant items and prevent fraud; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
• Support messages — content you send through the in-app support form.
• Advertising — if you watch rewarded ads (for example free tournament entries or gem rewards), ad partners may collect device or advertising identifiers under their own policies.

3. How we use information

• Create and secure your account, and sync progress across devices.
• Operate Solo, Quick Play, challenges, tournaments, leaderboards, and ratings.
• Process optional purchases and deliver in-game items.
• Send optional push notifications you allow (friend requests, challenges, results).
• Prevent cheating, abuse, and fraud; troubleshoot; improve the Game.
• Comply with law and platform policies (including Google Play).

4. Legal bases (where applicable)

Where required (for example under UK GDPR / EU GDPR), we process data to perform our contract with you (providing the Game), with your consent (for example account creation and certain optional features), and for legitimate interests such as security, fraud prevention, and improving the service.

5. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service providers who host the Game, process payments, send email, show ads, or deliver push notifications — only as needed to run those services.
• Other players — limited public profile information such as username, rating, and leaderboard / match results.
• Authorities when required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the Game.

6. Retention

We keep account and gameplay data while your account is active and as needed for the purposes above, including leaderboards, anti-cheat, and legal compliance. You may request deletion at any time via our account deletion page or in-app Settings. We will delete or anonymise personal data unless we must retain some records (for example purchase history or fraud prevention) for a limited period.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (including password hashing and access controls). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8. Children

The Game is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum digital-consent age in your country). Do not create an account if you are under that age. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

9. Your choices & rights

• Update or correct account details where the Game allows.
• Disable push notifications in device settings.
• Request access, correction, or deletion of personal data via account deletion / data request or Support (subject to legal limits).
• Stop using the Game and request account closure.

If you are in the UK/EEA, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.

10. International transfers

Servers or providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

11. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective” date and version above will change when we do. Material changes may require you to accept the updated Policy before continuing to create accounts or use certain features.

12. Contact
