Privacy

Who is responsible

The operator of Poker Manager is Max Schuringa. For anything on this page, including a request to see or delete your data, write to maxschuringa37@gmail.com.

Why it is processed

Account, game, friendship, group and settlement data is processed because it is necessary to provide the service you ask for when you create an account and use Poker Manager. Security, abuse prevention, fault diagnosis and limited service analytics are processed for the operator’s legitimate interests in keeping the service safe, reliable and understandable. Those interests are balanced against users’ privacy and do not permit advertising or cross-site tracking.

A host supplies a guest player’s name, rather than the guest supplying it directly. That limited record is processed for the legitimate interests of the host and the other players in keeping an accurate shared game record. Hosts should tell guests before adding them and should use no more identifying information than necessary.

What is stored, and why

Only what the app needs in order to work:

• Your account — email address, a display name and username you choose, and optionally an avatar image. The email address is how you sign in and how a password reset reaches you.
• Your games — the games you host or are invited to, the players in them, buy-ins, cash-outs, chip counts, and the settlement each game works out. These are the records the app exists to keep.
• Guest players — if you add someone who has no account, only the name you type is stored, attached to that game. No contact details, and no attempt is made to identify them.
• Friends and groups — who you have connected with, and which groups you belong to, so games can be shared with them. Group membership also makes your overall statistics visible to the other members; see below.
• Your statistics — totals derived from your own finished games, so the app can show your history without recomputing it every time.

There is no advertising, no profiling, no tracking of you across other websites, and nothing is sold or shared for marketing.

Who else can see it

Someone in a game with you can see that game: its players, the buy-ins and cash-outs, and the settlement. They cannot see your other games or your friends list. Your email address is not visible to other users — the database prevents it being read by anyone but you.

Groups are different, and worth understanding before you join one. Everyone in a group you belong to can see your whole statistics row: games played, games settled, games won and lost, your lifetime profit or loss, your biggest single win and loss, and the total you have ever bought in for and cashed out. That is what makes a group leaderboard work, and it is the point of a group, but it does mean your running total — including how much you have staked across every game — is visible to every member, not only to the people you have actually played against. If you would rather it were not, leave the group; the visibility goes with the membership.

Any signed-in user can find your display name, username and avatar by searching — that is how a friend request reaches you. Nothing about your games or your money is exposed that way.

Two companies process data on the operator’s behalf in order to run the service:

• Supabase — hosts the database and handles sign-in. Everything described above is stored there.
• Vercel — hosts the application itself and provides aggregate traffic figures. That analytics is cookieless: it sets no cookie, does not follow you between sites, and does not build a profile of you.

These providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, the transfer is covered by an EU adequacy decision or contractual safeguards approved under the GDPR. You can ask the operator for information about the safeguard that applies to your data.

Cookies

Poker Manager sets cookies for one purpose: to keep you signed in. They are strictly necessary for the service to function, and there are no advertising, analytics or third-party tracking cookies. That is why you are not asked to consent to any — there is nothing optional to consent to. Signing out ends the application session; the session cookie is then removed or allowed to expire.

Your rights

If you are in the UK or the EU, data protection law gives you the right to see the personal data held about you, to correct it, to have it deleted, to object to how it is used, and to receive a copy in a portable form, and to ask for processing to be restricted. You can exercise any of these by writing to maxschuringa37@gmail.com. Requests are answered without undue delay and normally within one month. There is no automated decision-making or profiling. You may also complain to the Dutch supervisory authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Deleting your account. You can delete your account yourself, at any time, from your profile page. It asks for your password and for you to type your username, then removes your account: your email address, your friendships and group memberships, your notification settings and your personal statistics are erased.

What is kept, and why. A poker game is a shared record: your buy-ins are part of how everyone else’s settlement was worked out, so a game cannot simply have one player subtracted from it without making the other players’ records wrong. So where you played games with other people, your seat in those games is pseudonymised rather than removed — it stays as an anonymous “Former player” holding the same amounts, so the other players’ settlements remain correct, but it no longer carries your name, email or any link back to you. Games you logged as solo sessions, which involve no one else, are deleted outright. If you host a game that is still in progress and no other signed-in player can take it over, delete is declined until you settle or hand off that game, so a live game is never left stranded.

Two honest limits. A pseudonymised game seat can, in principle, still be recognisable from its context (the date, the other players, the amounts), so it is pseudonymised rather than guaranteed anonymous. And if another host once added you to their game by typing your name as a guest, that text is their record and cannot be found automatically from your account. For either of these, or to see exactly what would remain, write to maxschuringa37@gmail.com and it will be dealt with by hand.

How long it is kept

Account details, friendships, groups, games and statistics are kept while the account is active because the service is designed to preserve a history. If you ask for account deletion, information that is no longer necessary is deleted or anonymised, subject to the shared-record limitation above and any information that must temporarily be kept to resolve a dispute, prevent abuse or comply with law. The operator reviews what remains as part of the request and does not keep identifiable data merely because it might be useful later.

Money

Poker Manager is a record-keeping tool. It does not handle, process, hold or facilitate any payment or gambling transaction, it does not offer any game of chance for money, and it takes no stake or commission. Money is settled directly between players, away from this app, exactly as it would be without it.

Because of that, there are no card details, no bank details and no payment records in this application. There is nothing of that kind to lose.

Children

Poker Manager is not intended for anyone under 18, and accounts are not knowingly created for them.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes with it and the change is announced in the application.
