# Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-07-05

BEPpoker is a local-first desktop app for PokerStars tournament and hand-history analysis. The app imports configured local files, stores data in a local SQLite database, and performs analysis on the user's machine.

## Network and Telemetry

BEPpoker does not add telemetry, analytics, advertising trackers, hosted crash reporting, or automatic diagnostic upload. The app does not need any server to import, store, or analyze PokerStars history.

## Files Processed

The app reads the PokerStars hand-history and tournament-summary folders configured by the user in the Import view. Imports are limited by the selected date range. Folder watching, when enabled, watches those same configured folders for new text files.

The app does not read unrelated folders as part of normal import.

## Local Data Stored

Imported data is stored in a local SQLite database named:

```text
beppoker.sqlite3
```

The database is stored in the operating system app data directory returned by Tauri for BEPpoker. The exact path is visible in the Import view under Database Maintenance.

The database can contain:

- imported hands
- imported tournament summaries
- configured player name
- configured import folders
- timezone, day boundary, watcher, and currency settings
- adjustment edits
- import file status and import events
- local app diagnostic logs

Backups created by the app are stored locally in the app data `backups` folder unless the user exports a database copy to another location.

## Diagnostics

Copy Redacted Diagnostics puts a plain-text support bundle on the clipboard. Redacted diagnostics are designed for sharing after user review. They include app version, operating system, CPU architecture, redacted app data path, redacted database path, database size, schema version, table counts, redacted settings, recent app logs, recent import events, and crash-log tail when present.

Redacted diagnostics do not include raw hand-history text, full tournament-summary file contents, the visible PokerStars player name, or full local filesystem paths.

Copy Full Diagnostics is a separate action and warns before copying. Full diagnostics can include the configured player name and local filesystem paths. Full diagnostics should be reviewed before sharing.

## User Controls

The Import view provides local controls to back up, export, restore, and clear imported data. Restore DB creates a pre-restore backup before replacing the active database. Clear Imported Data and Delete Tournament create safety backups before deleting imported records.

Uninstalling the app removes the installed application files through the Windows uninstaller. Local app data and exported database copies should be reviewed separately according to the user's Windows account and backup settings.

## Third Parties

BEPpoker uses third-party npm packages and Cargo crates listed in [THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md). These dependencies run as part of the local desktop application. The app does not send imported hand-history data to those dependency authors.

## Privacy Questions

Privacy questions should be sent to pzuggler@gmail.com. Include redacted diagnostics only after reviewing the copied text.
