Privacy Policy
We keep it simple: we collect only what we need, we don't sell your data, and you're in control.
Last updated: April 30, 2026
1. Who We Are
PokerEdge AI ("we", "our", or "us") operates the PokerEdge AI website and mobile application (the "Service"), a practice-only poker coaching tool. We are not a gambling operator. No real money is ever wagered, won, or lost through the Service.
If you have questions about this policy, contact us at pokeredgeai@gmail.com.
2. Information We Collect
Account information. If you choose to create an account, we collect your name and email address. If you sign in with Google or another supported social provider, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from that provider. We do not receive your social account password.
Gameplay data. We record the hands you play, decisions you make, and the AI coaching suggestions shown to you. This data is used to track your progress and improve coaching quality. It contains no financial information because the Service involves no real money.
Usage and analytics data. We collect standard web analytics information such as pages visited, session duration, device type, operating system, browser type, and general geographic region (country or city level). We use this to understand how the Service is used and to fix issues.
Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and collect anonymous usage statistics. See Section 5 for details.
Communications. If you contact us by email, we retain your message and contact details to respond and track support requests.
What we do not collect. We do not collect payment card numbers, bank details, government ID, or any financial account information. The Service does not involve real money.
3. How We Use Your Information
To provide the Service. Your account information lets you sign in and sync progress across devices. Your gameplay data powers the progress dashboard and coaching history.
To power AI coaching. When you play a hand, information about the game state (cards on the table, bet sizes, positions) is sent to third-party AI API providers to generate coaching suggestions. See Section 4 for details. We do not send your name, email, or account identifier to AI providers.
To improve the Service. Aggregated and anonymised usage data helps us understand what features work well and where we should focus development.
To communicate with you. If you opt in, we may send you product updates or tips by email. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
To comply with the law. We may use or disclose information where required by applicable law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of users or the public.
4. Third-Party Services
Social login providers. If you sign in with Google (or another supported provider), that provider's own privacy policy governs how they handle your data on their end. We only receive the profile fields you authorise during sign-in and do not share your PokerEdge AI data back to those providers beyond what is needed for authentication.
AI API providers. Game state information is transmitted to third-party AI service providers (such as large-language-model API services) to generate in-hand coaching suggestions. These providers process the data under their own terms and data processing agreements. We select providers who commit to not training on customer data by default and who maintain appropriate security standards. We do not send personally identifiable information such as your name or email to AI providers.
Analytics providers. We use third-party analytics tools to collect aggregated, anonymised usage statistics. These tools may place their own cookies. You can opt out through your browser's cookie settings or through a cookie consent banner where applicable.
Hosting and infrastructure. The Service is hosted on cloud infrastructure providers who process data on our behalf under data processing agreements.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
5. Cookies
Essential cookies keep you signed in and maintain your session. The Service cannot function properly without them.
Analytics cookies collect anonymised data about how pages are used. You can block these through your browser settings or a privacy extension without affecting core functionality.
Preference cookies remember settings such as your chosen game mode or display preferences.
Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from staying signed in.
6. Data Retention
We keep your account data and gameplay history for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance reasons (for example, in anonymised aggregate form for analytics).
Support correspondence is retained for up to 2 years to assist with follow-up queries.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights including:
Access. Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction. Ask us to correct inaccurate data.
Deletion. Ask us to delete your account and associated personal data.
Portability. Request your gameplay data in a machine-readable format.
Objection. Object to certain processing activities such as marketing emails.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at pokeredgeai@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing the request.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, UK, or California, additional rights may apply under GDPR, UK GDPR, or the CCPA respectively.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Users in jurisdictions where the minimum age for digital services is higher (for example, 16 in some EU member states) must meet that local requirement.
9. Data Security
We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and secure credential storage. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data and respond promptly to any security incidents.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you by email or with an in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
11. Contact
