Privacy Policy

Section 01

Overview

PokerSharp is a mobile poker training application (“the App”) designed to help players develop Game Theory Optimal (GTO) intuition for No-Limit Texas Hold’em. The App is developed and published by Brett (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

We built PokerSharp to work entirely on your device. The App does not require an internet connection, does not create or manage user accounts, and does not transmit any data to external servers — ours or anyone else’s. This Privacy Policy explains precisely what data is stored by the App, where it lives, and what we do (and do not do) with it.

By installing and using PokerSharp, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the App.

Section 02

Data We Collect and Store

The App stores the following data locally on your device only, using Android’s and iOS’s standard on-device storage APIs (specifically React Native AsyncStorage). None of this data ever leaves your device.

The data listed above contains no personally identifiable information (PII). No name, email address, phone number, device identifier, location, or any other information that could identify you as an individual is collected, inferred, or stored.

Section 03

Data We Do Not Collect

The following categories of data are not collected, stored, transmitted, or processed by PokerSharp under any circumstances:

Personal & Identity Information

The App does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, profile photos, dates of birth, or any other personal identifiers. No account registration of any kind is required or available.

Device & Hardware Identifiers

The App does not access, read, or transmit device identifiers such as IMEI, IMSI, MAC address, advertising ID (IDFA/GAID), Android ID, or any other hardware or software identifier that could be used to track your device across apps or over time.

Location Data

The App does not request, access, or store your precise or approximate geographic location. No location permissions are requested at installation or during use.

Usage Analytics & Telemetry

The App does not include any third-party analytics SDK (such as Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, or similar). No crash reporting service, performance monitoring tool, or behavioral analytics platform is integrated. No telemetry data is transmitted to us or any third party.

Advertising Data

The App contains no advertising of any kind. No advertising network SDK is present. No advertising identifiers are accessed or shared. The App does not display ads and does not participate in any ad network.

Financial & Payment Information

No payment, billing, or financial information is collected or handled by the App directly. If a purchase is made through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, that transaction is handled entirely by the respective platform’s payment infrastructure. We do not receive, store, or process your payment details.

Network Communications

The App makes no outbound network requests during normal operation. It does not contact any server, API endpoint, content delivery network, or remote service. The App functions entirely offline.

Section 04

How Local Storage Works

PokerSharp uses React Native AsyncStorage, which maps directly to the platform’s native key-value storage: SharedPreferences on Android and NSUserDefaults / SQLite on iOS. Data written to these stores is sandboxed to the App by the operating system.

This means:

Other apps on your device cannot read PokerSharp’s stored data. The operating system enforces this isolation. Data stored by the App is not included in any cloud backup service unless you have explicitly enabled full-device encrypted backup through your platform’s backup settings (Google One on Android; iCloud Backup on iOS) — and even in that case, the data is encrypted and controlled by you, not by us.

We have no access to any data stored locally on your device, regardless of how it is backed up. If you restore a device from a backup that includes PokerSharp’s data, that data will reappear on your device, but it was never transmitted to us and we remain unable to access it.

Section 05

No Third-Party Sharing

We do not share, sell, license, rent, trade, disclose, or otherwise make available any data related to your use of PokerSharp to any third party — because we do not possess any such data.

Because all data remains on your device and no data is ever transmitted to us, the conventional question of “third-party data sharing” does not apply to this App in its standard sense. There is no data in our possession to share. There are no data broker relationships, no joint-venture data arrangements, and no service providers who receive data derived from your use of the App.

The App does not integrate with any social platform, does not provide sharing features that transmit data to external services, and does not embed third-party SDKs that independently collect or transmit data.

Section 06

We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, license, or trade your personal information to any third party. This is an unconditional commitment, not qualified by exceptions for business partners, affiliates, or data brokers.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state privacy laws, “selling” data includes broadly sharing it for commercial benefit. PokerSharp does not engage in any such practice. No data generated by your use of the App is monetized in any form — not through advertising, not through analytics partnerships, not through any other commercial arrangement.

Section 07

Law Enforcement and Legal Disclosures

From time to time, governments, courts, or law enforcement agencies may request that software developers disclose user data in connection with legal proceedings or investigations. We want to be transparent about how such requests would be handled in relation to PokerSharp.

Because PokerSharp does not collect, transmit, or store any user data on our systems, we possess no user data that could be produced in response to a legal request. Any subpoena, court order, or government demand directed at us would yield nothing, because there is nothing for us to provide. Your training history, settings, and session data exist only on your device and are beyond our reach.

In the event we are ever required by law to disclose information, we would comply with applicable legal obligations. However, compliance with such an order cannot extend to data we do not hold. We would not proactively volunteer information about users, and we would take reasonable steps to notify affected users of any legal request to the extent permitted by law.

Section 08

Business Transactions

In the event that PokerSharp or its parent business is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar corporate transaction, users will be notified of any change in ownership or control via a notice on this page or within the App itself, prior to any such change taking effect.

Because we do not hold user data, no personal information would be transferred as part of such a transaction. A successor entity would acquire the App and its codebase, but not a database of user records — because no such database exists. The privacy commitments in this document would be represented to any acquirer as binding obligations carried forward with the App.

Section 09

No Accounts or Authentication

PokerSharp does not require you to create an account, log in, or authenticate with any service to use any feature of the App. There is no registration flow, no email verification, no password, and no third-party sign-in (such as Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple).

Because there are no accounts, there is no profile data associated with you. Your training history, preferences, and progress are stored anonymously on your device and are associated with the App installation — not with any named identity.

If you uninstall and reinstall the App, your local data will be cleared. There is no mechanism to recover it, as it was never stored outside your device.

Section 10

Children’s Privacy

PokerSharp is rated for users aged 18 and older, consistent with its classification as a simulated gambling application under Apple App Store Guideline 5.3 and the Google Play IARC rating system. The App is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area).

The App includes an age gate on first launch. By proceeding past this gate, users confirm they meet the minimum age requirement.

Because the App does not collect any personal information from any user, no special data-handling provisions for minors are triggered in practice. However, if you believe a person under the applicable minimum age is using the App, please contact us at the address below and we will investigate.

Section 11

Your Rights and Data Deletion

Accessing Your Data

All data generated by your use of the App is accessible to you directly within the App. Your hand history, session analytics, and settings are visible in the Hand History screen and Settings panel at any time.

Deleting Your Data

Because all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over it. Data can be deleted by:

Clearing the App’s storage through your device’s system settings (Settings → Apps → PokerSharp → Storage → Clear Data on Android; or equivalent on iOS), or by uninstalling the App entirely. Either action permanently removes all locally stored data. There is no remote copy to request deletion of, as none was ever created.

GDPR, CCPA, and Other Regulations

Because PokerSharp does not collect, process, or store any personally identifiable information — and because no data is ever transmitted outside your device — the formal data subject rights frameworks established by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and similar legislation do not generate material obligations for us beyond what is described in this policy.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, or another jurisdiction with applicable data protection legislation and have questions about how this App interacts with your rights under those frameworks, please contact us at the address below.

Section 12

Security

The strongest security guarantee we can make is structural: data that is never transmitted cannot be intercepted in transit, and data that is never stored on a server cannot be exposed by a server breach. PokerSharp’s offline-first, no-network architecture eliminates the most common categories of data security risk entirely.

Data stored locally by the App is protected by the operating system’s application sandbox. On devices where full-disk encryption is enabled (the default on modern Android and iOS devices), the App’s stored data is encrypted at rest by the OS.

We do not operate servers, databases, or any infrastructure that stores user data, and therefore there is no remote infrastructure to secure or compromise.

Section 13

Do Not Track

Some web browsers and mobile operating systems include a Do Not Track (“DNT”) setting that signals to services that you do not wish to be tracked across websites or applications. There is currently no universal standard for how services should respond to DNT signals.

PokerSharp does not employ any tracking technologies — no cookies, no analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no behavioral monitoring of any kind. Because no tracking occurs, DNT signals have no effect on the App’s behavior; they are neither acted upon nor ignored in any meaningful sense. The App’s data practices are identical regardless of whether a DNT signal is present.

Section 14

Links to Other Sites

This Privacy Policy page and the PokerSharp website may contain links to external websites or services that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site, which is governed by its own privacy policy.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, or data-handling of any third-party sites or services. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

Section 15

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this document and, where the changes are material, provide notice through the App or the App Store listing.

Any future version of PokerSharp that introduces features requiring data collection beyond what is described here — such as cloud sync, user accounts, or multiplayer functionality — will be accompanied by a materially updated Privacy Policy presented to users before the new features become active. No such features currently exist in the App.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the App following any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Section 16

Contact

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or PokerSharp’s data practices, please contact us:

We will respond to all privacy-related inquiries within a reasonable timeframe. As no personal data is collected or stored by the App, most inquiries can be resolved quickly.
