Schnapsen 66 is a card game for Android and iOS. This policy describes what data the app processes, why, and your choices. Short version: we store what the game needs to work (your account, profile, game results and friends), we show no ads, and we never sell your data.
1. Account
- Sign-in uses Firebase Authentication (email/password, Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple). With Sign in with Apple you may hide your e-mail; Apple then gives us a relay address. Your e-mail address is stored privately and is never shown to other players.
- Playing online requires an account; local play against the computer works the same way but statistics are tied to your account.
2. Profile & game data
- Public profile: display name, unique username, optional country flag, and an avatar generated from your initials. Other signed-in players can see it (friend search, lobbies, opponents' profile cards).
- Gameplay statistics: games played/won, streaks, experience tier, per-mode ELO ratings, and a match history (opponent name, score, date). Ratings are computed server-side from online matches between real players.
- Friends & social: friend requests and your friends list; a private list of players you blocked.
- Online presence: a simple online/last-seen flag visible to your friends.
3. Table chat, reports & blocking
- During an online game, seated players can chat. Messages are stored with the game and deleted when the table closes.
- You can report a message (the reported text is kept for moderation review) and block a player (their messages are hidden for you and the friendship, if any, is removed).
4. Notifications
If you allow notifications, a Firebase Cloud Messaging token is stored privately so friends' game invites and friend requests can reach your device. You can disable this in the app's Settings or in your device's notification settings at any time.
5. On-device settings
Preferences (card deck, table cloth, sounds, animations, language, text size) are stored only on your device and are not uploaded.
6. Processors & where data lives
All server-side data is processed by Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Realtime Database, Cloud Functions, Cloud Messaging), hosted in europe-west1 (EU). We run no other backend and share data with no other third party. See Firebase's privacy documentation.
7. No ads, no selling
The app contains no advertising, no trackers and no analytics SDKs beyond Firebase's operational services, and we never sell or rent personal data.
8. Retention & account deletion
- Your data is kept while your account exists.
- You can delete your account in the app (Account → Delete Account). Deletion runs server-side and removes your profile, statistics, match history, ratings, friend links, presence, notification token and the account itself. For Sign in with Apple accounts the Apple authorization is revoked as part of the same step.
- Without the app (or if you cannot sign in): email 7minutesgames@gmail.com from the address on the account and we delete it the same way within 30 days.
- Chat messages are deleted when a table closes; moderation reports are kept as long as needed for review.
9. Children
The app is a classic card game with optional online play and chat. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them; if you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws you may request access, correction or erasure of your data. The in-app account deletion covers erasure fully and immediately; for anything else, write to 7minutesgames@gmail.com.
11. Changes
We will update this page when the app's data handling changes; the date above always reflects the current version.
