Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information GanzenBarf collects, why, and how you can control it.

Last updated: September 18, 2026

Who We Are

GanzenBarf is a digital version of the Dutch board game Ganzenbord, built and operated by Gieter Solutions.

If you have any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at n.soesbergen@gieter-solutions.com.

Information We Collect

We collect only what's needed to run the game and your account:

Account information

Your name, email address, and password (stored as a salted hash, never in plain text) when you register.

Decks and cards you create

Any custom decks and cards you build are stored against your account so you can reuse and edit them.

Purchase information

When you buy an extra deck slot, we record the platform (Apple/Google), product id, and transaction id needed to verify and grant the purchase. We never see or store your card or payment details โ€” that's handled entirely by Apple or Google.

Device and technical information

Standard request metadata (IP address, timestamps) is logged briefly for security and debugging purposes.

How We Use It

  • To create and secure your account, and let you sign in.
  • To store and serve your decks and cards during gameplay.
  • To verify in-app purchases and grant the entitlements they unlock.
  • To keep the service secure and diagnose problems.

How We Share It

We don't sell your data. We share information only with:

  • Apple and Google, to verify in-app purchases you make.
  • Service providers who host our infrastructure, under contracts that require them to protect your data.
  • Law enforcement or regulators, only when required by law.

Data Retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. Purchase records are kept longer where required for accounting and fraud-prevention purposes, even after an account is deleted.

Account Deletion

You can request deletion of your account and personal data at any time.

See the Delete Account page for how to request it and exactly what gets removed.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Receive a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at n.soesbergen@gieter-solutions.com.

Children's Privacy

GanzenBarf is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Security

We use industry-standard measures โ€” encrypted connections, hashed passwords, and access-controlled infrastructure โ€” to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep yours safe.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do.
