Privacy Policy

ELMEKINA — elmekina.com. Last updated 29 August 2026.

ELMEKINA is a free browser card game. This page explains what is collected when you play, why, and how to opt out. It is written to be read, not to be survived.

What the game itself stores

• A display name and avatar you choose. The name is whatever you type — it does not have to be your real one.
• Game state — the room you are in, your cards, coins and moves — kept only while a room is alive. Rooms are deleted automatically once they are finished or abandoned.
• Local settings in your browser's local storage: your name, avatar, language, sound preference and learning mode. These never leave your device except as part of a game you join.
• If you sign in with Google: your Google account id, display name, email address and profile picture, so that your trophies and friends list survive between sessions. Your email is used only to identify your account. It is never shown to other players, never sold, and never sent to any advertising or analytics service.

Game data is hosted on Supabase.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to see how many people play and which countries they play from, so we know where the game is growing. It records the screens you visit and events like starting or finishing a game, along with a rough location derived from your IP address and general device information.

We do not send your name, your email address or your room codes to Google Analytics. Google Analytics 4 truncates IP addresses before they are stored, and never records the full address. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics storage is switched off by default until you consent.

Advertising

The game shows an occasional full-screen ad between games — never during play. Ads are served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technology to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ad Settings.
• More on how Google uses data from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
• In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you will be asked for consent before any advertising cookie is set, and you can change that choice at any time from the banner.

Voice chat

When voice chat is enabled, audio travels directly between players (WebRTC) and is relayed only when a direct connection is impossible. Nothing is recorded or stored.

Children

ELMEKINA is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
