Privacy Policy | Short Deck Home

The short version

Short Deck Home is a free educational site about short deck poker. We do not collect your name, email or phone number, we have no sign-up, and we never sell data to anyone. We use Google Analytics 4 solely to see which pages get read and where visitors come from — so we know what is worth writing next.

You can press Decline on the banner at the bottom of the page, or simply ignore it. Either way, every page stays fully readable.

What is actually collected

Category	What it contains	Why
Usage analytics	Pages viewed, referrer (search / social / direct), device and browser type, language, approximate location (country or city level)	Understand which content actually helps
Entry tagging	The site's "Play free" buttons carry a `from` parameter (e.g. `?from=index`)	Know which entry point sends people to the game
Server logs	IP address, timestamp, request path — standard for any website	Operations and abuse prevention

Not collected: names, emails, phone numbers, precise location, contacts, or message contents. This site has no accounts and no form that asks for personal details.

Cookies and tracking

This site uses Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC). Once you consent, it writes first-party cookies (names beginning with _ga) to distinguish visitors and sessions.

IP anonymisation is enabled, and every Google advertising signal is set to "denied" — this site runs no ads, no retargeting, and builds no cross-site advertising profiles. Analytics data may be transferred to Google servers outside your country, including the United States.

How to decline:

Press Decline on the banner — no analytics cookies will be written;
Clear your browser's cookies and site data at any time;
Use private browsing, or install Google's official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Whichever you choose, all content on this site remains available to you.

The play platform (Emerald Six Plus)

Emerald Six Plus is the free short deck play-money platform operated by Short Deck Home, running inside Telegram. When you go there from this site:

the platform identifies you by the account ID Telegram provides — we never see your phone number;
coins on the platform have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash or goods, and cannot be transferred — they exist only to keep score;
the platform displays its own terms and privacy notice, which govern your use of it.

This policy covers this website (shortdeck.fun) — its content and its analytics. It does not cover how Telegram itself handles your account data.

Minors

This site and the play platform are intended for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us using the channel below and we will delete it promptly.

Your rights, contact and changes

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any data we hold about you at any time — in practice, this site holds almost nothing that could identify you. Reach us on Telegram: @shortdeckfun_bot.

If this policy changes materially, we will update the "Last updated" date above. We never use your data for direct marketing.
