Privacy Policy
The short version. Bridge Co has no accounts and no sign-up. It doesn't ask for your email, your contacts, your location or your photos. It contains no advertising SDK and no analytics SDK, shows you no ads, and never asks to track you across other companies' apps.
What it does store is a random ID, the display name you choose, and your game results — so that your rank, coins and match history are still there next time you open it.
Who we are
Bridge Co is made and published by Nauvis, a sole proprietorship based in the United States, which is the data controller for the information described below. You can reach us at support@nauvis.app.
There is no account
Bridge Co does not have user accounts. You are never asked to register, sign in, or provide an email address or password, and there is no "Sign in with Apple" or social login.
Instead, the first time you open the app it generates a random identifier — a UUID — on your device. That identifier is how our server recognises the same player returning, so your rating, coin balance and match history persist between sessions. It is not your Apple ID or Google account, not your device's advertising identifier, and not derived from any hardware identifier. It is a random number that means nothing outside Bridge Co.
What we collect
This is the complete list. It matches the privacy manifest inside the app itself.
- Player identifier. The random UUID described above. Stored on your device and on our server, and linked to the two items below.
-
Display name. The name you type in the app, shown to other players at the
table, in the match log and on the leaderboard. You are not required to enter anything — the
app picks a placeholder until you do — and you should not enter your full name.
Names are unique: no two players can hold the same one, ignoring capitalisation. To enforce that, our server stores a lower-case copy of your name alongside it and refuses a name someone else already has. Names are also filtered, and an unsuitable one is replaced. Changing your name needs a connection, because the new name has to be claimed on the server; if the name you picked was already taken by the time you first went online, you are given a numbered variant of it (for example "Maya2") and the app tells you so. Freeing your old name makes it available to somebody else. - Gameplay content. Bids, scores, tricks won, final placements, your season rating, your coin balance and the record of matches you've played.
All three are used for one purpose: making the app work — keeping score, ranking players and showing your history. None of it is used for advertising, profiling or tracking.
What we do not collect
No email address, no phone number, no real name, no date of birth, no contacts, no location, no photos, no microphone or camera access, no health data, no browsing activity, and no device advertising identifier (IDFA).
Bridge Co does not track you. The app links no advertising SDK and no analytics SDK — not Google AdMob, not Firebase, not Facebook, not any third-party measurement tool. It therefore never presents the "Allow app to track your activity" prompt, because there is nothing to track with. Nothing you do in Bridge Co is combined with data about you from other companies' apps or websites.
Bridge Co shows no advertisements in this version.
Who can see your information
Other players in a match can see your display name and how you're doing in that match — your bid, your tricks and your score. Players on the global leaderboard can see your display name, rating and record. That is the point of a multiplayer game, and it is the only place your information is shown to anyone else.
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers or analytics companies, because we don't work with any.
Where it's stored
Game data is stored in a PostgreSQL database operated by Railway, our hosting provider, and
reached over an encrypted connection at api.bidbound.app. Railway processes the data
only to host it for us.
Settings you change in the app — sound, animation, table theme, card backs, your lifetime statistics — are kept on your device and are not sent anywhere.
How long we keep it
Match records and ratings are kept while the game runs, so that leaderboards and history stay meaningful. If you delete the app, the identifier stored on your device goes with it; reinstalling generates a new one and starts you fresh. That is worth knowing before you delete it: because the identifier is the only thing that proves the account is yours, a reinstall does not recover your old rank, coins or display name, and the name you were using becomes free for another player to take.
Because there is no account, we have no way to look you up by name or email. If you want the data associated with your player identifier deleted from the server, email us from the app's Settings screen so we can identify which record you mean, and we'll remove it.
Children
Bridge Co is a card game suitable for a general audience, but it is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. The app collects no personal details that could identify a child; the only free-text field is a display name, which is filtered on our server. If you believe a child has entered something identifying, contact us and we will remove it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete the information we hold, and to object to how we use it. You can change your display name from the app's Profile screen whenever you are online. For anything else, email support@nauvis.app.
Changes to this policy
If what the app collects changes, this page changes with it and the review date at the top is updated. Material changes will also be noted in the store release notes for the version that introduces them.
