Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect information about you when you use our website and services. By creating an account or using the platform, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

If you have questions, you can reach us at any time at privacy@stacked.ai.

How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Stacked Poker platform
  • Process your hand histories and generate coaching analysis
  • Manage your account, subscription, and billing
  • Send transactional emails (password resets, billing receipts, important notices)
  • Analyze aggregate, anonymized usage patterns to improve our features
  • Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data for advertising, sell it to third parties, or use it to profile you for non-platform purposes.

04

Hand History & Poker Data

You own your poker data. Hand histories you upload remain yours. We act as a data processor, not a data owner, for your poker hands.

Specifically, hand histories and poker data you provide:

  • Are used solely to generate analysis results and coaching insights for your account
  • Are never sold, licensed, or disclosed to third parties for their own use
  • Are not used to train AI or machine learning models beyond powering your analysis
  • Are stored securely and associated only with your account
  • Can be deleted at any time by deleting your account or contacting us

Hand histories may contain usernames of other players at the table. We treat this information with the same confidentiality as your own data.

05

AI Analysis Processing

Stacked Poker uses Anthropic's Claude API to generate coaching commentary and strategic explanations. When you request an analysis:

  • Your parsed hand data (not your raw file) is sent to Anthropic's API
  • Anthropic processes this data to generate coaching text
  • We do not include your name, email, or account ID in API requests
  • Anthropic's data retention and usage is governed by their own privacy policy

Anthropic is a SOC 2 Type II certified provider. Their API usage policy does not permit them to use your inputs to train their models by default.

06

Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., a leading payment processor trusted by millions of businesses worldwide.

  • We never see, store, or have access to your full card number, CVV, or expiry date
  • Stripe handles all payment data under PCI DSS Level 1 compliance
  • We store only a Stripe Customer ID to manage your subscription
  • Billing history and invoices are accessible via your account settings
  • Stripe may retain transaction records as required by applicable law

Stripe's privacy practices are described in the Stripe Privacy Policy.

07

Authentication & Security

Authentication is managed by Supabase, an open-source backend platform with enterprise-grade security.

  • Passwords are hashed using bcrypt — we can never read your password
  • Sessions use short-lived JWT tokens stored in secure, httpOnly cookies
  • Google OAuth is available as a sign-in alternative
  • All data in transit is encrypted via TLS 1.2+
  • Database connections use encrypted channels

If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, please contact us immediately at privacy@stacked.ai.

08

Cookies & Local Storage

We use cookies and browser local storage for the following purposes:

Required

Authentication

Session tokens to keep you signed in. Cannot be disabled without breaking sign-in.

Functional

UI Preferences

Layout preferences and UI state stored in localStorage for a consistent experience.

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, or any third-party analytics cookies.

09

  • Account data is retained for as long as your account is active
  • Hand histories and analysis results are retained until you delete them or your account
  • Upon account deletion, personal data is removed within 30 days
  • Billing records may be retained for up to 7 years as required by financial regulations
