Pinochle Online Privacy Policy

Updated May 3, 2026

Pinochle Online is a no-account multiplayer card game. The app does not use email, password, OAuth, phone number, contact upload, global search, or advertising tracking.

Data We Process

• Room and gameplay data needed to host tables, synchronize game state, enforce rules, reconnect seats, and keep score.
• Device-scoped social profile data, including social device ID, public friend code, display name, avatar ID, friendships, blocks, friend requests, table invites, and social reports.
• Operational logs and diagnostics needed to keep the service reliable and investigate abuse or crashes.

Secrets

Seat tokens and social secrets are bearer secrets. The iOS app stores them in Keychain. The backend stores hashes or safe metadata where possible and does not include raw secrets in public URLs, report responses, player views, or normal logs.

Social Reports

Reports are sent to the backend for review. Report records include reporter device ID, target or table context, report category, optional details, and creation time. Reports do not store raw social secrets, seat tokens, hidden cards, legal card IDs, command payloads, or raw player-view snapshots.

Deletion

The iOS app includes social profile deletion from Settings. This marks the social device deleted and removes the local social secret from the device.
