Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

MeepleThèque is published by an independent developer. For any question about your data, write to contact@meepletheque.com. You will get an answer within 30 days at most.

The data we collect

We only collect what the app needs in order to work:

• Your email address and an encrypted password, so you can sign in and find your collection again on another device.
• The games in your collection, their details (player count, length, publisher, type, status) and your house rules.
• If you use the rules assistant: the text of the rulebooks you add. The file itself (PDF or photos) is deleted as soon as its text has been read.
• The first names of the players you create, along with the avatar and colour you give them.
• The plays you log: date, game, players present, scores, winner, and whether it was played every player for themselves or as a team.
• Your subscription status (free or Premium).

What we do not collect

No location data, no access to your contacts, photos, microphone or camera. The app uses no advertising trackers and no third-party analytics. We neither sell nor rent any data.

Player first names are data about other people: only enter first names or nicknames, never a full name, an address or a way to contact them.

The website and audience measurement

This section only applies to the meepletheque.com website, not to the app.

If you accept it through the banner shown on your first visit, the website uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how it is used and improve it: pages viewed, clicks, scrolling and mouse movements, along with technical information (device type, browser, approximate country). Input fields are masked. This data is processed by Microsoft, which may store it outside the European Union (privacy statement: privacy.microsoft.com).

Clarity sets two cookies: _clck (up to one year) and _clsk (one day). If you decline, nothing is loaded and no cookie is set.

You can change your mind at any time using the “Cookies” link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing your consent deletes these cookies.

The providers we share data with

To operate, MeepleThèque relies on the following providers: Supabase (hébergement de la base de données et des comptes, Union européenne (Irlande)); OpenAI (fourniture de l'assistant de suggestion (facultatif), États-Unis); RevenueCat (gestion des abonnements, États-Unis); Apple (distribution de l’app et traitement des paiements, International).

Each one only accesses what is strictly necessary.

The assistants and artificial intelligence

The app offers two optional Premium features: an assistant that suggests a game from a sentence you write, and a rules assistant that answers your questions from the rulebook you add. They are off by default and are only enabled with your explicit consent, from Settings.

Suggestion assistant: your list of games and your request are sent to OpenAI, in the United States, in order to produce a suggestion.

Rules assistant: the file you add (PDF or photos of the pages) is stored in a private space, sent to OpenAI to read its text, then deleted. Only that text is kept, visible to you alone, and deleted along with the game or your account. When you ask a question, that text, your house rules for that game and your question are sent to OpenAI to produce the answer.

In both cases, no player first name, no email address and no score is sent. OpenAI does not use this data to train its models under its developer offering. OpenAI may keep it for up to 30 days to detect abuse, then deletes it.

Questions asked to the rules assistant and its answers are not saved in the app: they are gone when you close the screen. Only the number of questions asked that day is counted, to apply the daily limit.

You can turn these features off at any time in Settings. The rest of the app keeps working normally.

Where your data is stored

Your data is hosted by Supabase in the European Union (Ireland). A copy is kept on your phone so the app works without a connection; it is erased when you delete your account or uninstall the app.

For how long

Your data is kept for as long as your account exists. When you delete it, the data is erased immediately and permanently, with no backup copy kept under your name.

Your rights

You can view, correct and delete your data directly in the app. Account deletion is in Settings, under “Danger zone”: it erases your account, your games, your players and every play.

Under the GDPR you also have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. To exercise them, write to contact@meepletheque.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

Children

The app is not intended for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

Any substantial change to this policy will be announced in the app before it takes effect.
