1. Who we are
Equity Kicker OÜ (“EK Stack”, “we”, “us”) is a company registered in Estonia (registry code 17448905). We develop and operate EK PokerStack, a platform for poker club administration.
For privacy inquiries: info@ekstack.com.
2. What data we collect
Depending on which services you use, we may collect:
- Account information: name, email, phone number, and club membership details
- Tournament and game data: buy-ins, results, seating assignments, tournament history, and player statistics
- Usage and analytics data: how you use the app — screens viewed, features used (such as registering for tournaments or expressing interest in cash games), session activity, app version, device type, IP address (in server logs), and a pseudonymous device identifier. You can turn this off — see section 3.
- Advertising interaction data: which in-app advertisements are shown to you and which ones you tap
- Communication data: push notification tokens and SMS delivery data
Our mobile apps can use the device camera to scan invitation QR codes. The camera is used only for live scanning on your device — no photos or video are captured, stored, or transmitted.
3. Why we process your data
- Providing and operating our platforms on behalf of poker clubs
- Managing member accounts, tournament registrations, and cash game sessions
- Sending notifications related to tournaments, events, and club activities
- Displaying real-time information on info screens during events
- Improving our services, fixing bugs, and ensuring platform stability
- Understanding how the app is used so we can improve features and content (product analytics)
- Showing relevant in-app advertising and measuring how it performs
You can disable usage analytics at any time in the app (Profile → Notifications → Privacy). In-app advertising is contextual — based on the club or screen you are viewing — and is not based on profiling of you.
4. Legal basis
- Contract performance: processing necessary to provide the account and services you sign up for, and to operate the platform for the clubs you are linked to
- Legitimate interests: improving our platforms, product analytics, ensuring security, preventing misuse, and showing contextual in-app advertising. You can object to analytics by disabling it in the app.
- Consent: where applicable, e.g. opting in to push notifications or marketing
5. Data sharing
We do not sell personal data. Data may be shared with:
- Your poker club: administrators access member data and results as part of normal operations. This may include club-internal member account records (such as points balances) maintained by the club; these are recorded by club administrators and, where the club enables it, the current balance is visible to you in the app
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: Hetzner Online GmbH (server hosting, EU) and Ploi (server administration) run our platforms securely. An up-to-date list of processors is available on request via info@ekstack.com
- Service providers: Expo (push notification delivery), Twilio (SMS delivery) and MailerSend (email delivery, EU), who process only the data needed to deliver these messages
- Advertising: in-app advertisements come from EK Stack or from your club’s own sponsors. We do not share your data with third-party advertising networks or data brokers, and we do not track you across other apps or websites
6. Data retention
We retain data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Usage and analytics event data is kept for up to 180 days and then deleted; aggregated, non-identifying statistics may be kept longer. Unneeded data is securely deleted or anonymized.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based
Contact info@ekstack.com to exercise these rights. We respond within 30 days.
7a. Deleting your account
You can delete your EK PokerStack account at any time, in either of two ways:
Deletion anonymizes your personal data (name, email, phone, credentials) and removes sessions, push tokens, and the link to analytics data. Any records retained in your clubs' systems remain in fully anonymized form and are no longer linked to your identity. See the deletion page for full details.
8. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews.
9. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through our platforms or by email.
