Butikken

Privacy Policy

The short version

Who we are

Butikken is the publisher of a small family of apps. This policy explains what each app collects, why, and what you can do about it. It covers the apps themselves and the servers behind them. Where an app's behaviour differs from the others, its own section below is the truth for that app.

Signing in with Google

Every Butikken app with an account uses Google sign-in, and they all treat what comes back from it the same way:

What Where it comes from Why we need it
Email address Your Google account, when you sign in Identifies your account so your data is yours. Used for sign-in and for our own administration. Never shown to other users.
Name and profile picture Your Google account Stored with your account. Where other users see a name at all, it is a nickname you choose — not your real name.
Google account identifier Your Google account Links your sign-in to your account. It is an opaque id, not readable information about you.

A sign-in token is stored on your own device in the operating system's secure storage so you are not asked to sign in every time. You can clear it by signing out.

One Google consent covers the Butikken apps together. Deleting your account in one app does not delete your accounts in the others, and does not revoke Google's consent for them — you can revoke Butikken's access entirely at myaccount.google.com/connections.

What each app keeps

Open Face Chinese

A card-game app for Open Face Chinese poker.

  • Game history — hands, scores, sessions and statistics, tied to your account.
  • Nickname, friends, clubs — the nickname is the only identity other players see; clubs record membership, role and chip balance history.
  • Chips are a scorekeeping unit assigned by a club. They are not money, cannot be bought, and cannot be exchanged for anything through the app. We process no payments.
  • Photos of your real cards never leave your phone. The camera is used only in live sessions, the picture is shown back to you as a reference, and it is never uploaded.
  • Table chat is never stored — it is relayed in memory and gone when the session ends.
  • Deletion is in-app: Profile → Delete account. It removes your sign-in, name, nickname, friends and statistics. Hands and chip ledger entries from games you played with other people are kept without your name, so their records and the club's own accounts still add up. Clubs where you were the only owner are archived. You can also ask by email (address below), actioned within 30 days.

Flip4it

Three pure-chance 50/50 games, played locally or online.

  • Local play stores nothing. Pass-the-phone games, Touch and the Wheel run entirely on your device with no account and never reach a server. A local session's tally lives only on your phone.
  • Online play keeps your nickname, your online game results and standings, your friends, and the groups you belong to, tied to your account.
  • Deletion is in-app: Profile → Delete account. It removes your sign-in, email, name, picture, nickname, friends, stats and any groups you own. Results of rounds you played with other people are kept without your name, so their records stay correct.

Bet-checker

Reads a bet-slip screenshot and rates the price from the bettor's side.

  • No account, and no sign-in. Bet-checker is the one app you use without signing in, so we hold nothing that identifies you and there is no account behind it.
  • The slip screenshot you pick is read, then discarded. It is sent to our server, passed to Anthropic to be read into structured data, and not kept — neither the image nor the bets read from it are stored on our servers.
  • Slip images are sent to Anthropic, an AI provider, to perform that reading. They process the image on our behalf and we do not retain it.
  • Recent checks are stored on your device only. The app keeps a short list of the ratings you have seen — on your phone, never on a server. Clear it any time in the app (Recent checks → Clear), and it is gone if you delete the app.
  • No wagering. The app places no bets, holds no money and has no bookmaker links.

Sportswhere

Sports fixtures and where to watch them.

  • The least of the four: your account (the Google sign-in data above) and your in-app preferences, such as sports and teams you follow.
  • Fixture and broadcast data is licensed sports data, not personal data.
  • Deletion: email us (address below) and we act within 30 days.

What none of our apps collect

None of the following is collected, in any Butikken app

  • No advertising. There are no ads and no advertising identifiers.
  • No analytics or crash reporting. Our apps contain no analytics, telemetry or crash-reporting software.
  • No third-party tracking SDKs. None are present in any app.
  • No location data. Our apps never request or receive your location.
  • No contacts. Our apps never read your address book.
  • No microphone or audio. Our apps do not record audio.
  • No payment information. There are no purchases in any of our apps.

Who else handles your data

We do not sell or share your data, and we do not disclose it for advertising. A small number of service providers process it on our behalf so the apps can run:

These providers are bound to process data only for us. We may also disclose data if the law requires it.

Security

Traffic between our apps and our servers is encrypted in transit (HTTPS, and secure WebSockets where an app uses them). Your sign-in token is held in your device's secure storage. We store no passwords — sign-in goes through Google.

How long we keep it

Account details and app data are kept while your account exists. Content that is never stored — Open Face Chinese table chat and guest games, Flip4it local play — is never stored, full stop. When your account is deleted, see below.

Deleting your data, and your rights

You can have your account and the personal data in it deleted, ask for a copy of it, or have something corrected:

Where an app's records involve other people — a game you both played, a club's chip ledger — your identifying details are removed and the shared record is kept in a form that no longer identifies you, so other people's own history stays correct. Each app's section above says what that means for it.

Deleting an account in one app does not touch your accounts in the other apps. To cut Butikken off from your Google account entirely, revoke access at myaccount.google.com/connections.

If you are in the UK or EU you have rights under the UK GDPR / GDPR, including the right to complain to your data protection authority. Our lawful basis for processing is performance of a contract — running the app you asked to use.

Children

Our apps are intended for adults and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us data, email us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be announced in the affected apps.
