Privacy Policy
The short version. We collect only what we need to run a fair multiplayer card game: your nickname and password, optional contact details if you add them, a device identifier and IP address for security and fair play, and your gameplay. The app has no purchases, so we collect no payment or purchase data. It also has no ads, no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs, and we do not sell or share your data for advertising. You can delete your account, and the data tied to it, inside the app at any time.
1. Who is responsible
KING BOOKING L.L.C-FZ, [Registered address], is the controller of the personal data described here. Privacy questions and requests: daniel@kingbooking.io.
2. What we collect and why
| Data | Why we use it | Legal basis (EEA/UK) |
|---|---|---|
| Account: nickname, password (stored only as a salted hash), player ID, chosen avatar, country you select for your profile flag, referral code, the date you confirmed you are 18+. | Create and secure your account, show you to other players at the table and in club lists. | Contract |
| Optional contact details: e-mail address and phone number, only if you add them to your profile. | Account recovery and replying to your support requests. Never used for marketing without your consent. | Contract; consent |
| Device identifier: an app-scoped identifier provided by your device’s operating system (not the advertising ID). | Fair play and security: detecting several accounts on one device at the same table, enforcing device bans. | Legitimate interests (a fair and safe game) |
| IP address, recorded with the time of sign-in and when you take a seat. | Security and fair play (same-network checks at a table, abuse and fraud prevention, network bans) and regional restrictions. We derive at most an approximate country from it; we do not collect precise location. | Legitimate interests; legal obligation |
| Gameplay data: clubs you join and your role, tables and tournaments you play, hands, actions, results in chips, chip movements inside clubs, missions, leaderboard standings, Diamond balance and spending. | Run the game, keep hand histories and statistics, show club activity to the club’s hosts, detect collusion and bots, resolve disputes. | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Things you write or upload: table chat (kept in server memory for the last 60 lines of a table and not stored long-term), club names, notices, announcements and logos, private notes you keep about other players, reports you file. | Provide the social features; moderate content and act on reports. | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Support messages you send us by e-mail. | Answer you and keep a record of the request. | Legitimate interests |
We do not collect contacts, photos, microphone or camera data, precise location, health data, advertising identifiers or browsing history, and the app does not use cookies for tracking. We do not knowingly collect special-category data.
3. What other players and club hosts can see
- Other players see your nickname, avatar, profile flag and player ID, what you do at the table, and chat you send.
- Hosts and managers of a club you join can see your activity inside that club: chip movements, games played, results in chips, and security alerts about play in their club (which can include the IP addresses used at their tables). They cannot see your password, contact details or your activity in other clubs.
4. Who we share data with
- Service providers that host our servers and database (currently Railway, in data centres in the United States and/or the European Union), acting on our instructions.
- Authorities or other parties where the law requires it, or where needed to investigate fraud, real-money misuse of the Service or threats to safety, or to establish or defend legal claims.
- A successor, if the Service is merged or sold, under the same commitments as this policy.
We do not sell personal data, we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, and we do not let third parties track you across apps or websites.
5. International transfers
Your data may be processed outside the country where you live, including in the United States. Where the law requires it, we rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission / UK authorities.
6. How long we keep data
- Account and gameplay data: for as long as your account exists.
- IP address and device logs: up to 180 days, and erased when you delete your account. Entries on a ban list are kept for as long as the ban is in force.
- Table chat: only the latest lines of a live table, in memory; they disappear when the table closes. A chat line quoted in a report is kept with that report.
- After account deletion: see the next section. Residual copies in encrypted backups are overwritten within 30 days.
7. Deleting your account and data
You can delete your account in the app at any time: Me → My account → Delete account. Deletion is immediate. We erase your nickname, password, e-mail, phone, avatar, referral links, sessions, IP and device logs, private notes, block list, inbox, mission progress and club memberships, and we cancel your Chips and Diamonds. To keep other players’ hand histories and the clubs’ chip records consistent, the hands you played and the ledger entries remain, attached only to a random placeholder such as “deleted_x7Kq2mPa” that no longer identifies you. Step-by-step instructions and an e-mail alternative are on the Delete Account page.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your data, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. You can edit your profile in the app and delete your account there; for anything else write to daniel@kingbooking.io. We answer within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority. We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as those terms are defined in California law, and we make no automated decisions that produce legal effects for you; automated fair-play alerts are always reviewed by a person before an account is closed.
9. Security
Traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (TLS). Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Access to production data is limited to staff who need it. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a breach that affects you, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
10. Children
Felt Society is for adults only. It is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a minor has an account, write to daniel@kingbooking.io and we will close it and delete the data.
11. Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before the change takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
