Privacy policy
What PokerWar collects, why, who else sees it, and how to reach us. Short version: we collect very little, we don't sell anything about you, and most of what the site remembers stays in your own browser.

Who runs this site
PokerWar.com is run by Marco Traniello. For any privacy question or request, write to marcotraniello@gmail.com.
What we collect and why
- Visit statistics (Google Analytics). We count page views, the pages people use, rough location (country or city), device and browser type, so we know which pages are useful. In the EU, UK, Switzerland and EEA, statistics cookies are only set after you click Accept on the cookie bar. You can change your choice at any time with the button at the bottom of this page.
- Newsletter. If you sign up for the PokerWar Insider, we receive the email address you type. The form is handled by Formspree. We use the address only to send PokerWar updates, and every email lets you unsubscribe.
- Live game reports. When you post or confirm a report on Live Games, we store the room, game, stakes, number of tables, waitlist, the time, and an optional nickname. Reports are public and disappear from the site after 90 minutes. They are stored with Supabase. Please don't put your real name or other personal details in the nickname.
- Age check. When you confirm you're of legal age, we remember your answer in your browser only. It isn't sent to us or anyone else.
What stays in your browser
Some things are saved only on your device (in your browser's local storage) and never sent to us: your age confirmation, language, chosen city, favorite poker rooms, cookie choice, challenge progress and streak, and the name on your player card. You can delete them at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.
Affiliate links and other services
Some links earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. When you click them, or use these services, the other company's own privacy policy applies:
- Amazon (Amazon Associates program) for books, cards, chips and gear.
- Stay22 and Booking.com for hotel links on travel and tournament pages.
- PayPal to buy The High Limit Playbook. We never see your card details.
- The Hendon Mob, when you use the player lookup (it opens their site).
- Google Fonts, which loads the fonts used on the site.
We don't sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
Legal basis (EU and UK visitors)
We use statistics cookies and send the newsletter only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. We run live game reports on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a safe, working site for adults.
How long we keep data
- Newsletter address: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
- Live game reports: hidden from the site after 90 minutes, and kept only as long as needed to run and protect the service.
- Visit statistics: kept by Google Analytics for the limited period set in our account.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, object to how we use it, or withdraw your consent. Just email marcotraniello@gmail.com. If you are in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Age
PokerWar is for adults only: 21+ in the United States and other regions, 18+ in Europe. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under that age.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
