Privacy Policy

Cash Stash is a free card game. This page explains what information the game collects and how it's used.

Information collected

Cash Stash does not require an account, email address, or password to play.

• Single Player and Multiplayer (Local) modes run entirely in your browser. No gameplay content (your cards, hands, or moves) is sent to or stored on any server. Anonymous, aggregate usage analytics are recorded in these modes too; see "Analytics" below.
• Play Online mode uses Google Firebase to sync a game between players. When you host or join an online game, the display name you enter and the state of that game (cards, scores, room codes) are stored temporarily in Firebase so the other players in your game can see it. Firebase also assigns your browser an anonymous identifier to distinguish you from other players. This identifier isn't linked to your name, email, or any other personal information.

Analytics

Cash Stash uses PostHog, a third-party analytics provider, to understand basic usage of the game, for example how many games are started or completed, and which game mode is used. This applies across every mode, including Single Player and Local, and is tied to an anonymous identifier generated by your browser, not to your name, email, or any other personal information, since Cash Stash doesn't have accounts.

Automatic tracking of clicks, keystrokes, or screen recordings is turned off. Only a small, fixed set of events is recorded: page loads, whether a game was started or completed, whether an online room was created or joined, and, if the game hits an unexpected error, the error message and its location in the code, so problems can be found and fixed. Online diagnostics also record anonymous game and device-session identifiers, player seat numbers, state revision and challenge identifiers, timing, connection and visibility status, whether a challenge screen was displayed, and why a computer took a turn. These events do not include player names, room codes, private hands, or card values. Like most web analytics services, PostHog may also collect standard technical information such as browser type and an approximate location derived from IP address.

If you choose to submit feedback after a game, your rating, selected topic, written message, and basic game settings are sent to PostHog. Please avoid including personal information in your message. Feedback is optional. If analytics are unavailable, you can choose to email feedback instead.

Children's privacy

Cash Stash does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
