Privacy Policy

How Chip Challenger handles your data, cookies, and authentication. Guest users store data locally in the browser; authenticated users store data via Supabase with standard security practices. Effective date on the live page.

Introduction

Chip Challenger is a browser-based poker tournament manager. This policy explains what information we collect, how it's used, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

Account data (email, display name) when you sign in, tournament and player data you create, subscription/billing status via our payment processor, and basic technical logs required to operate the service. We do not sell personal data.

How We Use Your Information

To provide the tournament manager, sync your data across devices when signed in, process subscriptions, respond to support requests, and improve reliability. We do not use your data for advertising.

Data Storage and Security

Authenticated data is stored in Supabase with row-level security so a user can only read and write their own rows. Payments are processed by Stripe. Guest data lives only in your browser's local storage.

Google OAuth

If you sign in with Google, we receive your email, name, and avatar via OAuth 2.0. We do not access Gmail, Drive, contacts, or any other Google service. You can revoke access at any time from your Google account settings.

Local Storage and Cookies

We Do Not Use Tracking Cookies

No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics that fingerprint you across sites.

Essential Cookies (Always Active)

Authentication and session cookies from Supabase and Stripe checkout are required for the app to work.

Local Storage (Browser Storage)

Guest tournaments, current tournament state, saved layouts, and UI preferences are stored in your browser's local storage on your device.

Session Storage (Temporary Storage)

Short-lived state (e.g. redirect targets after login) is cleared when you close the tab.

How to Control Cookies and Storage

Clear cookies and local storage from your browser settings at any time. Doing so will sign you out and clear guest tournament data on that device.

Data Retention

Authenticated data is retained while your account is active. Delete individual tournaments, layouts, or players from within the app, or contact us to delete your entire account.

Third-Party Services

We use Supabase (auth, database), Stripe (payments), and the hosting provider for the site. Each has its own privacy policy.

Beta Access

Beta or early-access features may collect additional feedback or diagnostic information; this is disclosed in-app when applicable.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Contact us to exercise these rights.

Children's Privacy

Chip Challenger is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted on this page with a revised effective date.
