Privacy Policy

Rail is a ledger for home poker games: it records buy-ins, results and who owes whom among friends. Rail never handles, holds or moves money. Payments happen in apps like Venmo or Cash App, outside Rail. Rail also has a poker room where you play Texas Hold'em with friends or computer players for free play chips that have no cash value.

What we collect

• Account details: your name, email address and password (stored only as a secure hash).
• An optional profile photo.
• Optional payment app handles you add (Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Apple Cash, Zelle).
• What you do in Rail: groups, tables, buy-ins and results, payments marked sent or confirmed, friends, practice scores.
• Poker room activity: your play chip balance, tables you join, hands played and your rank.
• If you allow notifications in the iPhone app, a push notification token for your device, plus tokens that keep a live table updated on your lock screen (Live Activities).
• Your IP address, briefly, to limit repeated login attempts.

How it's used

Only to run Rail: showing your results, leaderboards and who owes whom, and sending the notifications you allowed. There are no ads, no tracking across other apps or websites, and your data is never sold.

Who can see it

• People in your groups see your name, photo, results in those groups, payout rating and payment handles.
• Friends you accept can also see your overall record.
• Players at a poker table see your name, photo and chip stack; your hole cards stay private unless shown at showdown.
• Service providers that run Rail for us: Vercel (hosting), Supabase (database), Apple (push notifications) and Resend (sending password reset emails). They process data only to provide those services.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your data while you have an account. You can delete your account at any time in the app under You → Security → Delete account. That removes your name, email, photo, payment handles, friends and practice history, poker room chips and devices. Past game results stay in your friends' history under “Deleted player” so their totals still add up.

Age

Rail is for adults (17+) and isn't directed at children.
