Games Casino Privacy Policy
Effective date: 5 November 2026 · Last updated: 5 November 2026
Who we are
Games Casino is published by SHarper Products LLC, an Illinois limited liability company. This policy explains what the Games Casino app collects, why, and what you can do about it. It covers the app only.
What we collect
How you sign in
You can use Games Casino in one of three ways:
- As a guest. An anonymous account with no email address attached.
- With an email sign-in link. A passwordless “magic link”. We store your email address.
- With Sign in with Apple. We receive an Apple user identifier, plus your email address and name if you choose to share them. Your email may be an Apple private-relay address, in which case we never see your real one.
What we store
- Account: account ID, email address (if you provided one), the display name you chose (2–24 characters), skill level, and the date the account was created.
- Gameplay: rounds, hands, moves, scores, corners, liabilities and leaderboard standings. We keep these so scores can be verified and disputes resolved.
- Virtual currency: a ledger of every credit and debit — antes, winnings, purchases and bonuses.
- Purchases: the App Store transaction ID, which product was bought, its verification status, and the signed receipt from Apple. We never receive or store card or payment details. Apple (or Google, on Android) handles payment.
- Ad-removal entitlements: which ad-removal tiers your account owns.
- Technical and security logs: each request to our server records the action, the outcome, the app version and timing, plus a salted one-way hash of your IP address. The raw IP address is not stored. We also keep anti-cheat and abuse records, such as rejected receipts or invalid moves.
What we do not collect
We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photos, microphone input or health data. There is no third-party analytics SDK in the app at this time.
How we use it
- To create and run your account and let you sign back in.
- To run the games, score them, and build the monthly leaderboards.
- To credit purchases exactly once, and to detect and prevent fraud.
- To investigate cheating and abuse, and to enforce our rules.
- To keep the service working and to diagnose faults.
- To serve ads in the free version, as described below.
We do not use your data to build advertising profiles ourselves.
Advertising
The free version of Games Casino shows ads through AppLovin MAX. Ads are served by AppLovin and its partner networks: Google AdMob, Unity Ads, Meta Audience Network, Mintegral and Liftoff (Vungle).
These partners may collect:
- Your device advertising identifier — on iOS, the IDFA, only if you allow tracking through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt; on Android, the advertising ID, which you can reset or delete.
- Your IDFV, IP address, device model, operating system version and language.
- Coarse location derived from your IP address.
- Ad interaction data.
They use this to show, measure and cap ads, and to show personalized ads where that is permitted.
Your choices
- Decline tracking at the iOS prompt, or later under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Reset or limit your advertising ID in your device settings.
- Adjust your choices in the app’s consent screen. We show a consent flow where it is required, including for users in the EEA and the UK.
- Buy an ad-removal tier, which removes the ads that appear automatically during play.
“Selling” and “sharing”
We do not sell personal information for money. Under California law (CCPA/CPRA), sharing device identifiers with advertising partners for targeted advertising may count as “sharing.” You can opt out using the choices listed directly above.
Who we share it with
We share data with the following, each under their own privacy policy:
- Supabase — our backend hosting and database.
- Apple — Sign in with Apple, and App Store payments.
- Google — Google Play payments (once we are on Android) and AdMob.
- AppLovin — ad mediation, together with its partner networks: Unity, Meta Audience Network, Mintegral and Liftoff.
We may also disclose data where the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users or the integrity of the game.
Retention
Gameplay and request logs are retained for 90 days (180 days for failed requests, kept longer for troubleshooting), abuse and anti-cheat records for 365 days, and financial transaction records (the virtual-currency ledger and purchase records) indefinitely, as required for accounting and fraud prevention. If you delete your account, this data is de-identified rather than removed: the records above are kept for the periods stated, but are no longer linked to you.
Deleting your account and your rights
Deleting your account in the app
Go to Settings → Delete Account. This removes the link between the account and you: your display name is replaced with a placeholder, and your account ID is removed from our logs. Financial and gameplay records remain in de-identified form for the periods set out above.
Getting a copy of your data
There is no in-app export yet. Email support@sharperproductsllc.com and we will respond within 30 days.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, and opt out of targeted advertising. Users in the EEA and the UK have these rights under the GDPR; California residents have them under the CCPA/CPRA. We will not treat you differently for exercising them. To make a request, use the email address above.
Children
Games Casino is rated 18+ and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and if we learn that we have, we delete it. The app is registered with our ad networks as not child-directed.
Security
Data is held in a hosted Postgres database with access controls, and traffic is encrypted in transit. IP addresses are stored only as a salted one-way hash, and we never receive card or payment details. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep what we hold to the minimum the game needs.
International users
We are based in the United States, and your data may be processed in the United States. If you use Games Casino from outside the United States, you are sending your data to a country whose data-protection laws may differ from your own.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the “last updated” date at the top of this page. If the change is significant, we will tell you in the app.
