Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 27, 2026

First Hand Poker ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use the First Hand Poker mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address and a display name. We use Supabase for authentication and do not store passwords directly — authentication is handled through industry-standard secure protocols.

Learning progress. We store your lesson completion status, quiz responses, and module progress to provide a continuous learning experience across sessions.

Usage data. We may collect anonymized usage analytics such as which lessons are accessed, session duration, and general interaction patterns. This data helps us improve the educational content and user experience.

Device information. We may collect basic device information (device type, operating system version, screen size) to optimize the app experience across different devices.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

First Hand Poker is an educational app. We do not collect:

• Financial or payment card information (processed securely by third-party payment providers if applicable)
• Precise location data
• Contacts, photos, or other personal media
• Health or biometric data
• Gambling or real-money transaction data (the app involves no real-money play)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Save and sync your learning progress across devices
• Personalize your educational experience
• Communicate with you about service updates or support requests
• Analyze anonymized usage patterns to improve content quality

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We use third-party services (such as Supabase for authentication and hosting infrastructure) that process data on our behalf under strict data protection agreements.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or legal process.
• Safety: We may share information if we believe it is necessary to protect the safety of our users or the public.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), secure authentication protocols, and access controls on our infrastructure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and progress data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at email@firsthandpoker.com.

8. Children's Privacy

First Hand Poker is not directed at children under the age of 17. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 17, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
