Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 August 2026
The short version. PokerSonar has no user accounts, no advertising and no analytics tracking. Your bankroll records, favorites and settings never leave your phone. The only thing we store on a server is what we need to send you push notifications — and only if you switch them on.
This policy explains what PokerSonar (“the app”, “we”) does with personal data. The data controller is [LEGAL ENTITY NAME AND ADDRESS]. You can reach us at hello@pokersonar.app.
1. Data that never leaves your device
The following is stored locally on your phone and is never transmitted to us. Uninstalling the app deletes it permanently.
- Bankroll entries: tournament results, cash game sessions, buy-ins, cashouts, expenses and currency
- Favorites: saved tournaments, festivals, online series and events
- Preferences: language, filters, notification settings, last-seen markers
- Anything you type into the calculators
2. Data we store on our servers
Only if you enable push notifications. Nothing in this table is collected while notifications are off.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Anonymous user identifier | Created automatically to hold your notification settings. It is not linked to your name, email or any account. |
| Push token and platform (iOS/Android) | The address your device is reachable at. Without it, no notification can be delivered. |
| Selected countries | So we only alert you about tournaments in places you care about. |
| Radius in kilometers and an approximate center point | Only if you turn on “near me” alerts. We store a coarse center so we can decide whether a new tournament falls inside your radius. We do not keep a history of your movements. |
| Created and updated timestamps | Housekeeping — removing stale devices. |
Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), given when you switch notifications on. You can withdraw it at any time by turning them off, which deletes the record.
3. Location
The app asks for location permission for two things: centering the map on you, and — if you choose — alerting you about new tournaments within a radius. Location is read on the device. A coarse center point is stored only when radius alerts are on. Declining the permission leaves the rest of the app fully usable.
4. Tournament and venue data
Schedules, venues and news in the app are compiled from publicly published sources such as operator websites and poker media. Reading them requires no personal data from you, and we do not record which listings you view.
5. Service providers
- Supabase — database and hosting for the tournament catalog and, if enabled, your notification settings.
- Google Firebase Cloud Messaging — delivery of push notifications. Google processes the push token to route the message.
- Google Maps Platform — the map view. Google receives the technical requests needed to render map tiles.
These providers act on our instructions and may process data outside your country under standard contractual clauses. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
6. What we do not do
- No advertising and no advertising identifiers
- No analytics or behavioral tracking SDKs
- No user accounts, passwords, names or email addresses
- No selling or renting of data to anyone
- No gambling, wagering or money handling of any kind — PokerSonar is an information directory
7. Retention
Notification settings are kept until you turn notifications off, uninstall the app, or ask us to delete them. Push tokens rejected as invalid by the delivery service are removed automatically.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR you may request access to your data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, or object to processing. In practice there is nothing to look up: the notification record is tied to a random identifier created on your device, never to your name, email or an account, so we cannot identify you from it and are not required to collect additional data in order to try (Article 11 GDPR). Erasure is immediate and in your hands — turn notifications off, or uninstall the app. See the data deletion page. General questions go to hello@pokersonar.app. You also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
9. Children
PokerSonar covers gambling-related events and is intended for adults aged 18 and over. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
10. Security
Traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit. Notification records are protected by row-level security so a device can only read and write its own row.
11. Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes and the updated version appears here before it takes effect in the app.
