Privacy policy

Go Euchre (goeuchre.com) is a free card game. We collect as little as we can and we never sell your personal data. The site may show ads from Google, which are explained below. Last updated November 14, 2026.

The short version

• You can play against the computer without an account. Your settings and progress stay in your own browser.
• To play online, the game makes you a guest account with just a player name. An email and password are optional, so you can sign in on other devices.
• Our visitor statistics are anonymous. There are no cookies, and the id changes every day.
• The site and the Android app may show ads from Google (AdSense on the website, AdMob in the app). Google may use cookies or your device’s advertising ID for this; in the EU, UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent first.
• You can delete your account at any time in the game, under Profile → Delete my account.

Who we are

Go Euchre (goeuchre.com) is made by Skill Expression, a trade name of IT Ready Co., Ltd., a company registered in Thailand (“we”, “us”). We are responsible for your data. For anything about your data, use our Contact page or Contact in the game’s menu, and choose General feedback. Add an email address if you’d like an answer.

What we collect and why

Playing against the computer

Nothing leaves your device apart from the anonymous statistics described below. Your settings, tutorial progress and game history are kept in your browser’s local storage. If you are signed in, your progress and game results are also saved to your account, so they follow you to other devices.

Your account

• Player name and avatar. Other players see these at the table, in chat and in the Hall of Fame. If you upload a photo, we shrink it to a 256-pixel square and re-save it. This strips hidden details such as location and camera data. We don’t keep the original.
• Email and password (optional). These let you sign in on other devices. Your password is stored only as a secure one-way hash. We don’t send newsletters or marketing email; the only email we send is a password reset link when you ask for one.
• Game results, rating and rank. These are used for your statistics, the Hall of Fame and matchmaking. Your rank, points and games played appear in the Hall of Fame, which also shows your country’s flag.
• IP address and country. We store the IP address you last played from, and the country it belongs to. Our network provider, Cloudflare, works out the country. We use these to keep the game fair, for example so one person can’t gain rating by playing against themselves. We also use them to stop abuse and to show your country flag. Other players never see your IP address or email.

Online tables and chat

To run an online game, the server keeps the table: who is seated, the cards and the moves. Table chat is shown to everyone at the table. Whispers are shown only to the person you whisper to.

If you have a registered account you can add friends and send them private messages. These messages are stored so your friend can read them, and are deleted after 180 days or when either of you deletes their account.

Chat goes through an automatic filter that blocks abusive language and links (except to our site and well-known sites such as Instagram or Facebook). Players may share contact details such as a phone number or email address with each other if they choose; please only share them with people you trust. Players who keep breaking the rules can be muted or banned. To deal with abuse reports, we keep a log of chat messages for 30 days and then delete it.

Contact form and player reports

Messages you send with Contact, in the game or on our Contact page, are emailed to us and stored so we can deal with them. With your message we receive:

• your email, if you add one;
• your player name and account details, if you play online on that device;
• your country, IP address, device type and browser, and how many games you’ve played.

If you report a player, we also receive their name and account details so we can look into it.

Anonymous statistics

To see how the site is used, a small script records each visit. It records:

• the page you opened, and the website that linked to it (the website name only);
• your device type, browser, screen size and language;
• whether you play on the website or from your home screen, and whether this browser has played here before (read from the game’s own saved progress: nothing extra is stored);
• your country.

When you play, it also records the game type and how the round ended.

To count visitors, your IP address and browser are scrambled together with a random key that is replaced every day. The result can’t be turned back into your IP address, and it can’t link your visits from one day to the next. We don’t store your IP address with these statistics, and we don’t use cookies for them.

Cookies and local storage

The game itself doesn’t set any cookies for players. It uses your browser’s local storage to work properly. That storage holds:

• your sign-in key;
• your settings, progress and game history;
• the news you’ve read;
• players you’ve muted;
• the players you’ve recently met (for the report form);
• a random id used to count how many people are online;
• how many rounds you’ve played since the last ad break, so ads aren’t shown too often.

You can clear all of this at any time in your browser settings. If you do, you’ll be signed out.

Our network provider, Cloudflare, may set its own strictly necessary cookies. It uses them to protect the site from attacks and automated traffic.

When ads are shown, Google and its partners may also use cookies. The next section explains how.

Advertising

To keep the game free, we may show ads served by Google: Google AdSense on the website and Google AdMob in the Android app. These can be banners on the homepage, on the Rules, Strategy and Variants pages and in the game menu, plus an occasional full-screen ad when you deal a new round against the computer. There are never ads during a round, in the tutorial, in online games or on this page.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google’s My Ad Center, and opt out of some other vendors’ use of cookies at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.
• In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, a consent message from Google asks you first, and you can say no. Without consent you may still see ads, but they aren’t personalized. You can change your choice at any time with the privacy settings link shown with the ads.
• In US states with privacy laws, showing personalized ads may count as “sharing” or “targeted advertising”. You can opt out there with Google’s privacy message or in My Ad Center; see Your rights in US states below.

Learn more in how Google uses information from sites that use its services and in how Google uses cookies in advertising. Google, not us, controls the data it collects through ads.

Android app

Our Android app (Go Euchre on Google Play) shows the same game as the website, so everything above applies to it too. The app itself doesn’t collect anything extra: no contacts, photos (unless you choose one as your avatar), precise location, microphone or camera.

The ads in the app come from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads and to prevent ad fraud, Google’s Mobile Ads SDK collects:

• your device’s advertising ID;
• your IP address, and from it your approximate location (country or city, not your precise location);
• information about your device and the app, such as the device model, operating system, language and app version;
• how you interact with the ads, and diagnostic data such as how quickly ads load and whether the app crashes while showing them.

Google uses this as described in how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland the app asks for your consent before personalized ads, and you can change your choice later from the game’s Settings.

You can limit ads based on your interests on your device at any time: on most Android phones, open Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads) and delete or reset your advertising ID. The app will then show only ads that aren’t personalized.

Who else handles your data

• Cloudflare delivers and protects the website, so your requests pass through its network (Cloudflare’s privacy policy).
• Our hosting provider runs the server and database where game data is kept.
• Google AdSense and Google AdMob show ads on the website and in the Android app, as described under Advertising (Google’s privacy policy).
• Email: contact form messages are delivered to our mailbox.

Apart from Google’s ads, we don’t use social media trackers or outside analytics companies. Fonts and images all come from our own server. We don’t sell your personal data, and we only hand it to others if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

• Your account and game results: until you delete your account. Detailed move-by-move game records are emptied after 90 days; only the result stays.
• Chat log: 30 days. Messages shown at an online table disappear about 6 hours after the table closes. Private messages between friends: 180 days.
• Sign-in sessions: until you sign out, or until they expire after 90 days (registered accounts) or a year (guests).
• Server access logs: these record IP addresses for security and are kept for about 4 weeks.
• Contact messages and reports: as long as we need them to handle the matter.
• Anonymous statistics: these can’t identify you, so they may be kept.

Your choices and rights

• Delete some of your data without closing your account: change or remove your profile photo and player name in Profile, remove friends under Friends, or ask us through Contact to delete anything else.
• Delete your account in the game, under Profile → Delete my account. This removes your account and avatar. It also removes your progress, game results, rating history and chat log. Messages you sent us through Contact are kept, so we can finish dealing with any reports. You can also ask us to delete it without opening the game: see Delete your Go Euchre account.
• Change your name, avatar or email in Profile at any time.
• Ask us through Contact for a copy of your data, a correction or a deletion. We’ll answer within one month. Depending on where you live, for example in the EU or UK, you also have the right to object, to restrict how we use your data, and to complain to your data protection authority.

We process account and game data to provide the game you asked for. We process safety, anti-cheating and statistics data because we have a legitimate interest in running a fair, working game. Where the law requires it, for example in the EU and UK, personalized ads are only shown with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Delete your Go Euchre account

This applies to accounts in the Go Euchre website and the Go Euchre Android app, made by Skill Expression.

• In the game: open Profile and tap Delete my account. Your account is deleted at once.
• Without the game: send us a message through our Contact page asking us to delete your account. Include your player name and, if you added one, your account email, so we can find it. We delete the account within 30 days and tell you when it’s done if you gave us an email address.

Deleting your account removes your player name, avatar, email, password, progress, game results, rating history, friends, private messages and chat log. Anonymous statistics, which can’t identify you, are kept. Messages you sent us through Contact are kept for as long as we need them to handle the matter, and server security logs are deleted after about 4 weeks.

Your rights in US states

If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia or Texas, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to get a copy, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and of targeted advertising.

We don’t sell personal information for money, and we don’t knowingly sell or share the information of anyone under 16. The personal information we collect is described above, in the categories identifiers (player name, email, IP address, device and advertising IDs), internet activity (game play and ad interactions), approximate location (country) and the content of messages. Google’s ads may use identifiers and activity for targeted advertising: you can opt out with the privacy message Google shows in your state, in My Ad Center, or on Android by deleting your advertising ID.

To use your rights, write to us through our Contact page. We may ask for details to confirm the account is yours, and we won’t treat you differently for using your rights. If we turn down a request, you can appeal by replying to our answer.

Where your data is processed

Our server and our service providers, including Cloudflare and Google, may process your data outside the country where you live, for example in Canada, the United States or Thailand. Where the law requires it, we rely on safeguards such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses used by these providers.

Children

Go Euchre is a card game with no gambling and no purchases. It is meant for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children, on the website or in the Android app. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or show them personalized ads. Children under 13 should only play with a parent’s permission, and shouldn’t use online play or chat. If you think a child has given us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Security

The site only works over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Passwords are stored as one-way hashes, sign-in keys are stored only in scrambled form, and access to the server and its data is restricted.

Changes

If we change this policy we’ll update the date at the top of this page. For important changes we’ll also post a notice in the game’s News.
