Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 February 2026

PokerCode LTD ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website (pokercode.co.uk) and our mobile application StackXP (the "App").

1. Information We Collect

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and a username you choose. You may also sign in using Google or Apple, in which case we receive your email address and a unique identifier from those providers. We do not receive or store your Google or Apple password.

Learning progress: We collect data about your activity within the App, including:

• Total XP earned, current streak, and player level.
• Lessons completed, questions answered, and accuracy percentage.
• Skill progress across modules (e.g. Pot Odds, Bluffing, Position, Range Thinking).
• Drill best scores and best streaks for each drill type.
• Achievements unlocked and daily challenge completion.
• Heart (lives) count.

User-submitted content: If you report a question or submit feedback through the App, we collect the content of your report or message, your username, and a timestamp.

Guest mode: You may use the App without creating an account. In guest mode, your progress is stored only on your device and is not uploaded to our servers.

What we do NOT collect: We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or any other device sensor data. The App does not request any device permissions beyond internet access. We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide the App and sync your learning progress across devices.
• Display the global leaderboard (your username, XP, streak, and level are visible to other users).
• Send service-related communications (e.g. password resets via Firebase Authentication).
• Review and respond to question reports and feedback you submit.
• Maintain and improve the App.

3. Leaderboard

The App features a global leaderboard that displays the top 100 players ranked by XP. If you are in the top 100, your username, XP total, streak count, and player level will be visible to other users. Your email address is never displayed on the leaderboard.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the App:

• Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore) — to manage user accounts and store your progress data securely in the cloud. Firebase is operated by Google LLC. See Firebase Privacy Policy.
• Google Sign-In — if you choose to sign in with Google. See Google Privacy Policy.
• Apple Sign-In — if you choose to sign in with Apple (iOS only). See Apple Privacy Policy.

We do not use any advertising networks, analytics platforms, or tracking tools. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your progress data is stored in two places:

• On your device: using local storage so the App works offline.
• In the cloud: using Google Cloud Firestore, so your progress syncs across devices when you are signed in.

All data transmitted between the App and our servers is encrypted in transit via HTTPS. Access to your cloud data is restricted to your authenticated account. We retain your data for as long as your account is active.

6. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR), you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your account and all associated data.
• Withdraw consent at any time.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@pokercode.co.uk.

7. Cookies

Our website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Any cookies used are strictly essential for functionality.

8. Age Restrictions

StackXP is intended for users aged 18 and over. The App contains poker strategy and education content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will take steps to delete their account and data.

9. In-App Purchases

StackXP is free to use. The App does not currently offer any in-app purchases, subscriptions, or paid features.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
