Privacy policy

Last updated 9 August 2026

potcount is a tool for tracking friendly home poker games. This page explains, in plain language, what information it keeps about you and why. We try to collect as little as possible.

Who's responsible

The controller of your data is FatCloud (KvK 42069102), Jacques Veltmanstraat 54, Amsterdam, Netherlands — contact info@fatcloud.nl. We process your data to run your account and the service (to perform our agreement with you) and to send the optional emails you choose to receive (your monthly summary and/or product updates — only with your consent). Your passcode is only ever stored as a salted hash.

What we store

  • Your account: your name/handle, and — if you sign in with Google or Apple — the ID and profile photo they share with us. You can connect more than one sign-in method (a passcode plus Google and/or Apple) so you don't lose access; you can disconnect the extra ones any time.
  • Email (optional): if you sign in with Google/Apple we receive your email; with a passcode account it's optional. We store it to identify your account and, only if you opt in, to send the emails you've chosen — your monthly summary and/or product updates (see below).
  • Optional answers: if you choose to, an age range, where you're from, and how you heard about us. You can skip these.
  • Your games: the buy-ins, results and settlements you enter, and reactions/comments you post.
  • Payment link (optional): if you choose to add one, the personal payment link you paste (for example a Tikkie, iDEAL or Revolut link) so co-players can pay you back after a game. It's shown only to the players you're settling a game with — never on your public profile — and you can remove it any time. potcount never processes the payment itself (see the terms).
  • Terms acceptance: when you created your account, we record that you accepted these terms, when, and which version — as proof of consent.
  • A login cookie: a single signed cookie that keeps you logged in. No third-party tracking or advertising cookies.

Why we use it

  • To run the app, keep you signed in, and show your stats and history.
  • To contact you about your account if needed.
  • Emails you opt into: we only send the emails you explicitly ask for — a monthly summary of your own stats (best and worst night, average profit, a few highlights from the last 30 days) and/or occasional product updates about new features. Each is a separate, unticked opt-in (a checkbox when you sign up, or a toggle in your account settings), each can be turned off independently, and every email has a one-tap unsubscribe link. Apart from these and essential account/service messages, we send no marketing email, and we never share your address.
  • The optional answers help us understand who uses potcount. They're never required.

Public profile

Your profile visibility depends on your profile visibility setting:

  • If your profile is public, your handle, display name, profile photo and city are visible on your profile page.
  • If your profile is members-only or private, your detailed stats stay hidden as usual.

You can change your profile visibility at any time in your account settings.

Where it's kept

Your data lives on our own server hosted in the EU (Frankfurt), with encrypted daily backups stored via Cloudflare R2. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers. Sign-in is handled by Google and Apple under their own privacy policies; we only receive the basic profile details described above.

We share data only with the providers that help us run potcount, under data-processing agreements: Google and Apple (only if you choose to sign in with them), Resend (to deliver account, monthly-summary and product-update emails, if you have an email on file), and Cloudflare R2 (encrypted backups). Some of these providers are US-based, so limited data (email delivery, sign-in) may be transferred outside the EEA; where that happens it is protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses. We never sell or rent your data or share it with advertisers.

Your choices and rights

  • Emails: opt in or out of your monthly summary and product updates independently, whenever you like.
  • Email: add, change or remove the optional email on your account at any time.
  • Access & correction: you can edit your profile yourself, or ask us for a copy of your data.
  • Deletion: you can delete your account yourself — see below — or ask us to do it for you.
  • Portability, restriction & objection: ask for your data in a portable form, ask us to restrict processing, or object to processing based on our legitimate interest.

To exercise any of these, email info@fatcloud.nl — we respond within one month. You also have the right to complain to the Dutch data-protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).

Deleting your account

On your account page there's a Delete account option. To prevent accidents it asks you to type your username (and your passcode, if you use one) to confirm. When you delete:

  • Your account record — name/handle, email, passcode, any linked Google/Apple sign-ins, your saved payment link, optional answers and follows — is erased, and your username is freed up.
  • Comments and reactions you posted are removed.
  • Games you played in stay, because they're shared with the other players — but your seat is unlinked from you: it keeps the buy-ins and result under the name on the table, with no link back to a profile. Nobody can reach your (now deleted) profile from those games.

Deletion is immediate and can't be undone. For a short period afterwards a copy may still exist in our encrypted daily backups; those rotate automatically and any deleted data is gone from them within about two weeks.

For any of the above, or any privacy question, email info@fatcloud.nl.

Cookies

potcount uses a single, strictly-necessary session cookie to keep you logged in. Under the Dutch Telecommunicatiewet this kind of cookie needs no consent, so we show no cookie banner. We set no advertising or third-party tracking cookies, and our usage analytics is first-party and cookieless.

We may update this policy as potcount grows; the date at the top reflects the latest version.
