Poker V (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the Poker V application, a play-money Texas Hold'em poker game available as a Telegram Mini App and at poker-v.com.
Data controller: Stanislav ([email protected])
When you open Poker V inside Telegram, we automatically receive from Telegram:
We use this solely to identify you at the poker table. We do not access your contacts, messages, or any other Telegram data.
If you upload a custom profile photo, it is stored on Cloudinary (a third-party image hosting service). You can delete your photo at any time from your profile settings.
We store your gameplay statistics:
This data is used to display your profile, populate leaderboards, deliver requested notifications, and improve the game.
We use PostHog (posthog.com) to collect pseudonymous usage events:
These events are linked to your app user ID (tg_… for Telegram or web_… for web) and may include table identifiers. We do not send your name, profile photo or hole cards to PostHog. PostHog data is processed in the United States. See section 6 for international transfers.
We use your browser's localStorage to store:
Preferences stay on your device. The web UUID is also used as your app account identifier when you play.
Our server (hosted in the Netherlands) records standard access logs including IP addresses. These are retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes.
Voice audio is sent directly between players' devices (peer-to-peer). It does not pass through, and is never stored on, our servers. Where a direct connection cannot be established, a relay server forwards the audio in transit without retaining it. We do not record, transcribe, analyse or retain any voice audio for any purpose. While Open mic is on, your own device measures your microphone's loudness locally so other players can see when you are speaking. That measurement never leaves your device, and we never analyse or retain the audio itself. Reports about voice conduct record who was reported, when and at which table — never the audio itself.
We do NOT:
| Data | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Telegram identity, game stats | Legitimate interest — necessary to provide the game |
| Profile photo upload | Consent — you choose to upload |
| Live-table alerts and one-time scheduled reminders | Consent — you explicitly enable live alerts and choose their delivery times; each scheduled reminder requires a separate request for that occurrence |
| Analytics | Legitimate interest — improving the service |
| Server logs | Legitimate interest — security |
You can withdraw consent for photo upload at any time by deleting your photo. You can withdraw live-table alert consent from an alert's Mute button or Profile. A scheduled request authorizes only its selected occurrence; you can stop its delivery by blocking the bot before the scheduled start.

Your game data is stored on a server in the Netherlands (EU). Analytics data is processed by PostHog in the United States. PostHog provides appropriate safeguards under GDPR for EU-to-US transfers.

Poker V is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that a user is under 18, we will delete their data promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change. Continued use of Poker V after changes constitutes acceptance.
