This Privacy Policy explains how Cardora (“Cardora,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the Cardora app for iPhone. Cardora is a single-player Blackjack game that uses virtual Practice Chips. Practice Chips have no cash value, cannot be redeemed, and cannot be purchased. Cardora does not offer real-money gambling.
What we collect
For Cardora 1.0, the information associated with your identity is limited to:
- Email address — provided through Sign in with Apple when you create or link an account. Depending on your Apple settings, this may be a private relay address that forwards to your real inbox.
- User identifier — an account ID we use to recognize your account and keep your session working.
These correspond to the disclosures in Cardora’s App Store privacy information: Email Address and User ID, collected for App Functionality. Both are linked to your identity, and neither is used to track you.
Why we collect it
We collect this information solely to make the app work — what the App Store calls “App Functionality.” Specifically, we use it to:
- Create and maintain your Cardora account.
- Sign you in and keep your session valid across launches.
- Link a guest account to Sign in with Apple when you choose to.
- Let you sign out, sign out of all devices, and delete your account.
- Protect account security and prevent abuse.
We do not use your email address or user identifier for advertising or tracking.
Sign in with Apple & guest accounts
Cardora offers two ways to play:
- Continue as Guest. You can start playing without providing an email address. A guest account lets you play and keep local progress on your device.
- Sign in with Apple. When you sign in with Apple, Apple shares an email address (which may be a private relay address) and a stable identifier with us. You control what Apple shares through your Apple ID settings. Cardora’s use of Sign in with Apple is also subject to Apple’s own privacy practices.
If you start as a guest and later choose to secure your account, you can link your guest account to Sign in with Apple. This associates your existing account with the email address and identifier described above.
Accounts, authentication & security
We use your account identifier and session information to authenticate you and keep you signed in. You remain in control of your sessions:
- Sign Out ends the session on the current device.
- Sign Out of All Devices ends active sessions everywhere, which is useful if you believe a device is no longer secure.
We take reasonable measures designed to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
On-device gameplay data
Your Practice gameplay is designed around your device. Practice Chips, hands you play, and the statistics Cardora shows you — such as hands played, wins, losses, pushes, blackjacks, busts, win percentage, and average wager — are handled on your device. Because Practice Chips have no cash value and cannot be redeemed or purchased, they are simply part of the local practice experience.
No advertising, no tracking, no sale
- Cardora 1.0 contains no third-party advertising.
- We do not use your email address or user identifier to track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.
- We do not sell your personal information.
Retention
We keep account information for as long as your account exists and for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the app, maintain security, and meet legal obligations. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify the associated account information, except where we are required to retain limited records by law.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account from inside the app at any time:
- Open Cardora and go to Profile.
- Choose Delete Account.
- Confirm when prompted.
Account deletion is permanent. Deleting your account removes your Cardora account and its associated account information. This cannot be undone.
Age requirement
Cardora is intended for adults and is rated for users 18 and older. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and post the revised policy at this page. Your continued use of Cardora after an update means you accept the revised policy.
