Bink ("Bink", "we", "us", "our") lets you play poker with friends in your browser, for chips that have no real-world value. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use Bink, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Bink website, its game tables, Bink Pro, and the older Bink buy-in tracker, including any shared ledger links.

By using Bink, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

Information We Collect

Playing at a Table

You don't need an account to play. When you open or join a table, we store:

• The name you choose to show at the table
• What happens at the table: your seat, chips, bets, the cards you were dealt, and the hands you played
• Messages you send in the table's chat, which everyone at the table can see and which are cleared with the table
• A record of each hand's result

Everyone at the table can see your table name, your chips, the actions you take, and any cards shown during play. The cards you hold stay hidden from other players unless the game or you reveal them.

To keep your seat when you come back, your browser stores a private seat code and the name you last used. We keep only a scrambled copy of the seat code.

If you're signed in, your seat is also linked to your account, so you can get back to it on any device.

Account Information

If you create an account, we collect:

• Your name and email address
• Your phone number, if you add one for notifications
• Authentication data handled by our sign-in provider (we never see or store your password directly)
• Whether you have Bink Pro

Games You Make With AI

If you use the game maker, we store what you type, the game it produces, and technical details of the request such as its cost. What you type is sent to our AI provider to build the game. Please don't include personal information in your description.

If you publish a game, its name, rules and your first name as its author can be seen by anyone with the link.

If someone reports a published game, we store their reason and a scrambled form of their IP address, so we can spot one person reporting many times.

The Play Online Waitlist

If you join the waitlist for playing online, we keep your account and its email address on the list, and use that email only to tell you when it opens. You can leave the list at any time from the Play online page.

Bink Pro Payments

Bink Pro payments will be handled by a payment provider. Your card details go to them, not to us. We store whether your subscription is active, and the provider's reference for it.

The Buy-in Tracker

If you host games on the Bink buy-in tracker, we store the details you and your players provide:

• Player names, and phone or WhatsApp numbers used to send notifications
• Game details (name, date, stakes, currency, and similar settings)
• Buy-ins, cash-outs, rebuys and calculated settlements
• Payment confirmations (e.g. "marked as paid")

Because this information is entered by the host rather than the player directly, hosts are responsible for having the player's permission to add them to a game. See Using Bink in our Terms & Conditions. This data is visible to the host and, via a shared link, to the players in that game.

Usage Data

Like most web services, we automatically collect some technical data when you use Bink: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and timestamps. We use this for security, debugging, limiting abuse, and understanding how the product is used.

To see which games people play and where they get stuck, we also record what happens on the games site: a table opened, a game started, a guest sitting down, a setting changed, a game made or published, a filter or game picked. This uses no cookies and saves nothing on your device. Each visit gets a random number that lives only until you reload or close the page, and if you're signed in, the event is linked to your account. We use it only to improve Bink.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information above to:

• Run tables, deal hands, and work out each game's ledger
• Create and manage accounts, and provide Bink Pro
• Build and host the games people make
• Send tracker notifications to hosts and players by SMS or WhatsApp
• Generate and secure shareable links
• Prevent abuse, and maintain the security and reliability of the service
• Respond to support requests and improve the product

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use game data to serve you advertising.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored with reputable infrastructure and database providers and encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS. Access to production data is limited to the people who need it to operate Bink.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, we'll notify affected users as required by applicable law.

Data Processing and Protection

We act as the data controller for information you give us directly, and as a data processor for player information that a tracker host enters on a player's behalf. Data is processed only for the purposes described in this policy.

Tables that nobody has used for two days are cleared from time to time. A record of each game is kept so the people who played can look back at it: who played, the stakes, the ledger and what was shown in each hand. Only players at that game can see it. We retain other personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, and comply with our legal obligations. See Data Deletion below.

Third-Party Services

Bink relies on a small number of third-party services to operate:

• Authentication and database: to manage accounts and store game data.
• AI provider: to build games from what you describe in the game maker.
• Payment provider: to take Bink Pro payments.
• Messaging providers (SMS / WhatsApp): to deliver tracker notifications.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers: to run the website and application.

These providers only receive the information necessary to perform their function and are bound by their own privacy and security commitments.

Cookies

Bink uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, keep your seat at a table, remember your preferences, and (with your consent) understand how the product is used. Full details, including how to manage your preferences, are in our Cookie Policy.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Object to or restrict certain processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@bink.live.

Data Deletion

You can request deletion of your account, personal information, or game history at any time. See our Data Deletion page for what this covers and how to submit a request.

Children's Privacy

Bink is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify account holders by email and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
