Privacy Policy

Thunee.net ("we", "us", "our") operates the website thunee.net and associated mobile applications (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use the Service.

By using Thunee.net, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Account Information: When you sign in using Google, Facebook, or X (Twitter), we receive your display name, email address, and profile photo from the authentication provider. If you sign in as a guest, we generate an anonymous identifier.

Game Data: We store game statistics including games played, wins, losses, special calls made (Thunee, Double, Khanack, Jodie), ELO rating, and match history.

Chat Messages: In-game chat messages are temporarily stored for the duration of a game session and are not retained after the game ends.

Technical Data: We may collect standard web analytics data including browser type, device type, and general location (country level) for service improvement.

• To provide and maintain the Service
• To manage your account and game profile
• To track game statistics and leaderboard rankings
• To match you with other players in multiplayer lobbies
• To display masked player names during gameplay (privacy protection)
• To improve the Service and fix bugs

Your data is stored using Google Firebase (Firestore and Authentication), hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure. We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), Firebase Security Rules, and authentication tokens.

Player names are automatically masked during gameplay (e.g., "Vikeer" becomes "Vik**r") to protect player identity from opponents.

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Firebase — Authentication, database, and hosting
• Google Sign-In — OAuth authentication
• Facebook Login — OAuth authentication
• X (Twitter) Login — OAuth authentication

These services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them.

Account data and game statistics are retained for as long as your account exists. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

Guest accounts and their data may be automatically deleted after 30 days of inactivity.

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Export your game statistics
• Withdraw consent for data processing

If you are a resident of South Africa, your rights under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) are respected and upheld.

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

We use essential cookies and local storage for authentication tokens and game preferences (e.g., cutting preference, trump reveal preference). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
