Privacy policy

Who we are

BluffLab is made by [publisher name] ("we", "us"). We're responsible for the information described here. You can reach us at privacy@blufflab.app.

What stays on your device

Your levels and XP, achievements, streaks, lessons, daily games and missions, the weekly league, the coach's notes on your games, your saved mistakes, your progress charts, the computer players' memory of how you play, your card back and your settings are saved in your browser's storage on your device. If you play as a guest they aren't sent to us, and clearing the app's data or uninstalling it removes them.

If you're signed in to an account, a copy of these records is also saved to your account (see below), so your progress follows you to other devices. When you sign out, they're removed from the device once your account has them.

What we keep when you make an account

Accounts are optional: you can play as a guest without one. If you sign up, we keep:

Who can see what

Other signed-in players can see your username, the face you made, whether you're online, your online rating, your league score (this week's XP and your division), today's daily game results and your puzzle scores, so they can find you, play you, race you in the weekly league and compare scores. Nobody but you can see your saved progress. Players at your table see what happens at that table, as in any card game. Your friends see that you're friends. Nobody else sees your email address.

Your contacts

If you choose to find friends from your contacts, your phone shows its own contact picker and only the contacts you pick are shared with BluffLab. Their email addresses are scrambled (hashed) on your device, and only those hashes are used to look for matching accounts. We don't keep your contacts or their hashes.

Invite links you share contain your account ID, so whoever signs up from your link is offered as a friend.

Who provides our services

We use Google Firebase to sign you in (Firebase Authentication), to store account and game information (Cloud Firestore), and to host the app (Firebase Hosting). Google processes this information for us under its terms, and may do so outside the UK and EU with safeguards in place. See Firebase's privacy information.

We don't use advertising or analytics services.

Why we use your information

We use it to run your account and the games you play (this is needed to provide the service you asked for), to keep games fair and players safe (our legitimate interest), and, for contacts, only when you choose to use that feature.

How long we keep it

We keep your account information until you delete your account. Online tables are deleted about 30 days after they're created. Information on your device stays until you clear it.

Your choices and rights

Children

BluffLab is for adults (18 and over). It isn't meant for children, and we don't knowingly hold information about anyone under 18. If you think a child has made an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

Security

Information travels encrypted (HTTPS), and our database only lets each person change their own account. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a password you don't use anywhere else.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top, and tell you in the app if the change is important.
