Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 8, 2026

Cardamoo ("we", "our", "the app") is a free multiplayer social card game developed by Sanskerje. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we handle it.

1. Data We Collect

When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo. You choose a public username visible to other players. We store your game data (chips, stats, history, tournament results, daily challenges, streak data), friends list, device notification tokens, and anonymous analytics. We also store your cosmetic choices (theme, avatar, card backs), your time-zone offset (so reminders arrive in your evening rather than at a fixed hour), a record of players you have shared a table with (shown to you as Encounters), and, if you use Bring a Friend, the invite code you entered and which of your invitees qualified.

1a. Guest Play

You can try Cardamoo without an account as a guest. A guest session is an anonymous sign-in with no name, email, or photo. It keeps only your lesson progress, arcade score, and cosmetic choices, and is deleted automatically after 30 days of inactivity unless you create an account, in which case that progress carries over.

1b. Poker Night

When you use Poker Night, the shared screen (a TV, tablet, or laptop) connects with a temporary room link. No sign-in happens on that screen and nothing about it is stored beyond the life of the table; the link stops working when the table closes.

2. Bug Reports

If you submit a bug report, we collect the report details, optional screenshot, app version, device information (platform, screen size), and current game state to help diagnose issues.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

• Your precise location
• Your contacts or phone number
• Payment card or bank details (the App Store / Play Store handle payment for the optional Supporter Pack; we never see or store your card details)
• We do not sell your personal data. Data is only shared with the service providers listed below to operate the app (for example, Google AdMob receives your advertising ID when you choose to watch a rewarded ad)

4. How We Use Your Data

• Provide and maintain the game
• Identify you to other players via your username
• Send push notifications you opted into
• Maintain your friends list and game invites
• Track game statistics and achievements
• Deliver bug fixes via over-the-air updates
• Improve the app based on anonymous analytics
• Show optional rewarded ads only if you choose to watch one, and process your optional one-time Supporter Pack purchase

5. Third-Party Services

• Google Cloud and Redis Cloud. Game servers and live session state
• Google Firebase. Authentication, database, storage, push notifications, analytics
• Apple Sign-In. Authentication via Apple ID
• Capgo. Over-the-air app updates
• Deck of Cards API. Card images (no personal data sent)
• Google AdMob. Optional rewarded video ads; only used if you choose to watch one, never required to play
• RevenueCat. Processes the optional one-time Supporter Pack purchase; we never see or store your payment card details

6. Data Retention

Your data is retained while you use the app. You can delete your account anytime from Account settings, this removes your user data, friends, username, push tokens, and auth record. Bug reports may be retained for quality improvement.

7. Children's Privacy

Cardamoo is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

8. Security

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS/WSS), Firebase Authentication, profanity filtering, and secure server infrastructure.

9. Your Rights

• Delete your account and data from Account settings
• Change your username anytime
• Request a copy of your data
• Disable push notifications in device settings
• Sign out anytime
