Kartvo – Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 October 2026

Kartvo itself does not collect or store personal data and has no accounts. Your games, statistics and settings stay only on your device. The one exception is the ads in the free version (see below).

• There is no analytics or tracking SDK. The app does not ask for permission to track you across other companies' apps and websites.
• The free version shows ads through Google AdMob. Ads are non-personalised, and Google may process limited data such as device information and approximate location to serve them. In the EEA, the UK and similar regions Google's consent form (UMP) is shown first, and you can change your choice in Settings. Ads are not shown while you play at a friends' table. Paying subscribers and users who have removed ads do not see ads.
• Optional online play with friends: when you create a table or join one with a code, the app connects to our small relay server (okey.galklabs.com, on Cloudflare; this address may change) to pass moves and preset quick messages to the other players at the table. While the table is open, the server keeps only the room code, the nickname shown at the table (optional, up to 20 characters) and a random token that lets you return to your seat; these are deleted after the room has been inactive for 2 hours. No account, email, phone number or location is asked for. There is no free-text chat; moves and preset messages are only relayed, never stored, and no logs are kept. Like any internet connection it passes through Cloudflare; your IP address is used to make the connection but is not stored by us.
• Optional play on the same Wi-Fi or without internet: to host or join a table with friends nearby, iOS asks for the “Local Network” permission. Devices connect only to each other (Bonjour); moves do not go to the internet or to our server and nothing is stored. If you decline, playing against the computer and code tables work as before.
• Cards are shuffled on the device with the system's secure random number generator.
• Your data file is part of the normal iPhone backup managed by you and Apple.
• Subscriptions and purchases are handled by Apple; we never see your payment details.
