Privacy Policy
Card Night is a small, independently-run project. This page explains what we collect when you use it, why, and how to have it removed.
Last updated: September 2026.
What we collect
This depends on how you sign in:
- Sign in with Google or Apple: we receive your email address and a display name from whichever provider you choose. Apple sometimes withholds your real email and gives us a private relay address instead — either way, that's what we store. We never see your password; Google and Apple handle authentication themselves, and only tell us who you are afterward.
- Playing as a guest (from an invite link): we only ever have the nickname you type in. No email, no third party involved.
Beyond your account, using the app generates:
- Gameplay data — the rooms you create or join, and win/loss/draw results tied to your account.
- A refresh token, stored in your browser's local storage, that keeps you signed in between visits.
- Standard server logs (IP address, timestamps, the usual) generated by any web request, kept only as long as needed for operating and securing the site.
How we use it
To run your account, show your chosen nickname to the people you're playing with, keep game history within the rooms you're in, and keep you signed in. That's it — there's no advertising, no analytics tracking, and nothing here is sold or shared with anyone for marketing.
Who else sees it
Google or Apple, only to confirm your identity when you sign in — we don't send them anything about how you use Card Night. The app runs on a single server we operate ourselves; no other third party has access to it.
How long we keep it
Leaving a room removes it from view immediately, but — like most apps — the underlying record is kept rather than instantly erased, so a game's history stays consistent for everyone else who was at the table. If you want your account and everything tied to it permanently deleted, contact us (below) and we'll take care of it.
Children's privacy
Card Night isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under that age.
Changes to this policy
If this ever changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
