Privacy Policy

Here are the most important things to know:

• Your video stays on your device. We do not upload, receive, store, process, or view your poker footage. Editing and video export happen in your browser on your own machine.
• Your projects are local by default. Projects are stored in your browser. Paid users can optionally sync project documents to our servers. Those synced documents contain project data, not video footage.
• We collect a small amount of account and service data. This includes your email address, securely hashed password, player-library information, optional player photos, subscription information, and, if you choose cloud sync, your project document.
• We do not track you for advertising or analytics. There are no analytics, advertising trackers, cross-site tracking cookies, fingerprinting, pixels, or session-recording tools.
• We do not sell your personal information or use your content to train machine-learning models. We also do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
• You are responsible for the footage you edit. You must have the rights to use the footage and any required permission from people appearing in it, including permission relating to their likeness and disclosure of their poker play.
• Keep your own backups. If a project exists only in your browser and you clear browser data, use private browsing, or change devices, we may have no copy to restore.

The controller or business responsible for personal information covered by this Policy is:

Oliver Tran — Founder & CEO

• Privacy and legal enquiries: admin@pokermotion.studio
• Product support: support@pokermotion.studio

We collect the following information.

3.1 Account information

When you create an account, we collect:

• your email address; and
• a securely hashed password.

Authentication is provided by Supabase.

3.2 Player library

If you use the player library, we store:

• player names;
• a display colour; and
• optional player photos that you choose to upload.

Player photos are stored in a Supabase storage bucket. You are responsible for having the necessary rights and permissions to upload and use those photos.

3.3 User settings

We store small per-user settings, such as your preferred video orientation.

3.4 Cloud-synced projects

Paid plans can optionally sync project documents to our servers. A synced project may contain:

• project name;
• orientation;
• frame rate;
• selected design set;
• poker hand data, including information such as players, hole cards, stacks, blinds, betting actions and board cards; and
• timeline data.

The project document is stored as JSON. A cloud-synced project does not contain your video footage.

3.5 Subscription information

If you purchase a paid plan, we receive and store information needed to manage your subscription, including:

• your plan;
• subscription status;
• renewal date; and
• identifiers linking your account to your Stripe customer record.

Stripe processes your payment details.

3.6 Stripe event IDs

We store Stripe event IDs solely so that we do not process the same payment webhook more than once.

3.7 Waitlist information

During the pre-launch period, if you join our waitlist through the marketing-site popup, we collect:

• your email address;
• the source label associated with the signup; and
• the signup timestamp.

3.8 Information stored only in your browser

Some information is stored only on your device, including:

• local projects;
• imported video;
• exported files; and
• a flag remembering whether you dismissed the waitlist popup.

We do not receive this information.

This is a core part of how Poker Motion Studio works.

When you import video, your browser reads the video from your own device. The footage is not uploaded to our servers.

Editing takes place in the browser. Exporting and rendering take place on your machine using the browser’s WebCodecs API.

We therefore do not receive, store, process, or have the ability to view your video footage.

This also means that we cannot restore video footage for you if something happens to the copy on your device.

Projects are stored in your browser by default, using browser storage including IndexedDB and the Origin Private File System.

A local project can be lost if, for example, you:

• clear your browser data;
• use private or incognito browsing;
• switch browsers or devices; or
• otherwise remove the browser storage containing the project.

We do not have a server-side copy of a local project to restore. You are responsible for keeping your own backups. We recommend exporting a project file for anything you want to keep.

Paid users can optionally sync project documents to our servers, subject to the limits of their plan. Cloud sync still does not upload the underlying video footage.

We use personal information for the following purposes:

The exact lawful basis can depend on the circumstances. We will not rely on legitimate interests where another lawful basis is required.

Poker Motion Studio does not use analytics of any kind.

There is no:

• Google Analytics;
• Plausible;
• PostHog;
• Mixpanel;
• Vercel Analytics;
• session recorder;
• advertising pixel;
• advertising identifier;
• cross-site tracking cookie; or
• fingerprinting system.

There is no tracking script on the site. We therefore do not use analytics or advertising cookies, and we do not display a cookie banner for those purposes. We use only the essential session cookie needed to keep you signed in.

We use an essential session cookie to maintain your signed-in session.

We do not use analytics or advertising cookies.

We do not use cookies to track your activity across unrelated websites.

We use the following service providers:

Supabase

Supabase provides authentication, our Postgres database, and file storage for player photos.

Stripe

Stripe provides payment processing and subscription billing. Your card details go directly to Stripe. Card numbers do not touch our servers or our database.

Vercel

Vercel provides hosting and content delivery for the service.

No other third party receives customer data as part of the service’s normal operation.

Poker Motion Studio is operated from the United States and sells its service worldwide. Our service providers may process information in the United States and in other countries where they operate.

When you delete cloud-synced content, we will delete it from the active service in accordance with our applicable retention and backup practices.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect the personal information we hold.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your video footage receives an additional form of protection because it is not uploaded to us in the first place.

We do not sell personal information.

We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not use customer content to train machine-learning models.

We do not use customer content in marketing without asking first.

We do not intentionally collect categories of personal information beyond what is described in this Policy.

Sale and sharing

We do not sell personal information.

We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not have a behavioral-advertising opt-out mechanism because we do not engage in that activity.
