The short version
PDC Poker runs without accounts, so the honest summary of this policy fits in a sentence: the site has almost nothing of yours, wants nothing of yours, and keeps what little it touches for as short a time as running a website allows. The rest of this page spells that out properly, because a privacy policy should be checkable, not just reassuring.
What this site collects
PDC Poker offers its games and guides without registration. The site does not ask for your name, email address or payment details, and it does not build advertising profiles. There are no login forms, no newsletters, no comment boxes and no checkout - the usual places personal data enters a website simply do not exist here. You can play every table and read every guide from the first visit to the last without telling the house who you are.
Game data stays in your browser
Scores, streaks and in-game settings - your best run at the Hand Trainer, your record stack at the Hold'em table, whether you muted the card sounds - are kept in your browser's local storage on your own device. They are never transmitted to a server, never aggregated, and never seen by anyone but you. Clearing your browser data removes them completely, and using a different browser or device simply starts a fresh book. The house keeps no copy: if your best streak is lost, it is genuinely lost, which is the price of it being genuinely private.
Server logs
Like practically every website, the server that delivers these pages keeps standard technical logs: the URL requested, the time of the request, the IP address it came from and the browser type that made it. These exist for security and reliability - spotting abuse, diagnosing errors, keeping the tables dealing - and for no other purpose. Logs are kept only as long as operationally necessary, are not joined to any other data, and are not used to identify visitors. Nobody is reading them to see who practised pot odds at two in the morning.
Cookies
The site itself does not set advertising or analytics cookies, which is why no cookie banner interrupts your first visit - there is nothing to consent to. The local storage described above is the browser's own filing drawer rather than a tracking cookie: it identifies nothing and travels nowhere. If any of this ever changes, this page will say so first and plainly, before the change takes effect rather than after.
Third parties
The games, images and fonts are all served from this domain - the pages load no third-party scripts at all. There are no embedded trackers, no social media widgets watching you read, no advertising networks bidding on your attention and no analytics beacons reporting your scroll depth. The poker room profiles discuss third-party companies, but discussing them is all the site does: no data flows to them, and none flows back. External links, where they exist, are ordinary links - following one takes you to a site with its own privacy policy, which is worth reading, because most of the web is not built like this page.
Your rights and choices
Data-protection law gives you rights of access, correction and erasure over personal data a site holds about you. Here those rights are easy to honour, because the answer to "what do you hold about me" is: nothing beyond short-lived technical logs that do not identify you. The game data in your browser is under your direct control - view it, export it or delete it through your browser's own tools, no request form required. Questions about this policy can be raised via the details on the about page, and are welcome.
Changes to this policy
If the site's practices ever change - a new feature that needs storage, a new tool that phones anywhere - this page will be updated before the change ships, in the same plain language. The version published here is always the one in force. A card room that prides itself on honest odds owes you the same honesty about data.
