Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Verdict Poker ("we", "our", or "the app") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights as a user.

Verdict Poker is operated by Coded World Apps. By using Verdict, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

2. Data We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide the app's functionality:

• Account data — If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and Google profile name. For anonymous users, we create a temporary unique identifier.
• Profile data — Optional display name, role (e.g. "Live Player", "Grinder"), and avatar selection (Google photo, generated avatar, or initials) that you set in the Edit Profile screen.
• Poker data you enter — Sessions, goals, check-ins, and notes, including stakes, locations, durations, results, and timestamps. If you use the push/fold tool, the ranges you view (position, stack depth, ante setting) and the hands you check (hand, position, stack depth, ante setting, result) are saved to your account with a timestamp and the linked session, if any. Hands and AI analyses saved with the retired hand-review feature remain in your account until you delete it.
• App preferences — Currency, language, hands-per-hour estimate, bankroll settings, and theme preferences (stored locally on your device and in your account).
• Legacy purchase records — The current version of Verdict is free and sells no subscriptions. If you bought a subscription in an earlier version, your account stores its status, product ID, and expiry date. We never see or store payment card details.
• Usage analytics — We collect anonymous usage data via Firebase Analytics to understand how features are used. This includes events like 'session created', and app navigation. We do not collect personally identifying information. You can opt out anytime in Settings. Firebase Analytics also collects device and app identifiers — including your device's Advertising ID — used solely for analytics, never for advertising or marketing.
• Crash & diagnostic data — If the app crashes or errors, we collect anonymous crash reports and diagnostic information (device model, OS version, and the technical state at the time) via Firebase Crashlytics to fix bugs and improve stability.
• Bug reports — If you send a bug report from Settings, we store your message together with the app version, platform, language, page, device details (browser user agent and screen size) and time, and email it to the developer so the problem can be fixed. Your email address is included only if you tick “You can reply to me by email”. Your reports are deleted when you delete your account.

We do NOT collect: browsing history, contacts, location data (beyond what you manually enter), or any data outside the app.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To track your session history and bankroll over time
• To sync your data across devices when you're signed in
• To maintain records of earlier purchases

We do NOT sell your data. We do NOT share it with advertisers. We do NOT use it to train AI models.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following services to run the app:

• Google Firebase (authentication and database) — stores your account and poker data. Firebase is GDPR-compliant. Data is hosted in EU regions.
• Firebase Analytics (Google) — collects anonymous usage statistics. Subject to Google's privacy policy. You can opt out in Verdict Settings.
• Firebase Crashlytics (Google) — collects anonymous crash reports and diagnostic data to help us fix bugs. Subject to Google's privacy policy.
• Anthropic Claude API (AI hand analysis, retired in September 2026) — while the feature was available, it processed the hand details you submitted for analysis. Hand data is no longer sent to Anthropic.
• EmailJS (analysis ratings, retired in September 2026) — when you rated an AI analysis, your rating, optional comment, the hand details and the analysis text were emailed to the developer for quality review. This no longer happens.
• Resend (email delivery) — delivers the bug reports you send from the app to the developer's inbox.
• Google Play — The current version of Verdict is free and sells no subscriptions. Subscriptions bought in earlier versions are billed and processed by Google Play until they end or are cancelled. We never receive payment card details.
• RevenueCat — Processes subscriptions bought in earlier versions of Verdict until they end or are cancelled, and updates the subscription record in your account using a user identifier. The current version is free and does not start RevenueCat's purchase client. RevenueCat never receives payment card details.
• Google OAuth — for sign-in with Google. Subject to Google's own privacy policy.
• DiceBear (avatar generation) — if you select a generated avatar, the avatar image is fetched from DiceBear's public API. No personal data is sent — only an arbitrary "seed" string you select.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored in Google Firestore databases located in the EU (europe-west region). Access is protected by Firebase Security Rules that ensure only you can read or modify your own data.

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) between your device and our services.

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. Inactive anonymous accounts may be deleted after extended periods of inactivity. Deleted account data is permanently removed within 30 days.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR and similar privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access — Request a copy of your data
• Rectification — Correct inaccurate data
• Deletion — Delete your account and all associated data directly from the app (Settings → Delete Account)
• Portability — Receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Withdraw consent — Stop using the app at any time
• Lodge a complaint — With your local data protection authority. EU users may contact AZOP (Hrvatska agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka) at azop.hr

7. Cookies

We use only essential cookies required for authentication and session management. We do NOT use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.
