Privacy policy
Last updated 3 November 2026
This policy covers Hit or Stand, run by SKMB Software Ltd (company number 17532454), the data controller.
What we collect
- Your account: the name you choose, and if you save an account, a username and a password stored only as a secure hash.
- Game activity: your chip balance, bets and results, level, achievements, shop items, club membership and chat messages.
- A device token: saved in your browser so you stay signed in, plus a few settings like sound and the 18+ confirmation.
- Discord, if you link it: your Discord user ID, so we can give rewards and roles.
- Chip purchases, if you make any: which pack, the price, when, and the payment's reference from Stripe. Stripe handles the card payment itself under its own privacy policy, and we never receive your card details.
- Technical logs: our web server briefly logs IP addresses and requests for security and to fix problems.
- Analytics, only if you allow it: Google Analytics records which pages and games are visited, roughly where visitors are and what device they use. It helps us see what people enjoy. IP addresses are shortened and it is never used for adverts.
Why we use it
To run the games and your account, keep the leaderboards and clubs working, stop cheating and abuse, moderate chat, and fix bugs. Our lawful basis is providing the service you've asked for and our legitimate interest in keeping it safe and fair.
Who we share it with
Nobody, except: your chosen name, level, club and wins are shown to other players; Discord sees what you do in our server; our hosting provider stores the data on our behalf; if you buy chips, Stripe processes the payment; and if you allow analytics, Google processes visit statistics for us. If we add adverts or payments, the ad or payment provider will receive what it needs, and we'll update this page and ask for consent where needed first.
How long we keep it
For as long as your account is active. Ask us to delete your account and we'll remove your data, apart from anything we need to keep to prevent abuse.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Ask in #help on our Discord. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Cookies and storage
We use your browser's storage for your sign-in token and settings; these are needed for the site to work. With your permission we also use Google Analytics cookies (named _ga), which last up to two years. We ask before setting them, and you can change your mind any time from Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. We don't use advertising cookies.
