Privacy Policy

STAX is a poker session and chip-tracking app. Most app data is stored on your device. Some optional features use third-party services only when you turn them on. We do not sell your personal information.

STAX stores the following data locally on your device:

• Session details you create, such as casino name, state, game type, buy-ins, cash-outs, and notes
• Photos you capture or attach to sessions
• Chip configuration settings
• App preferences, including whether cloud chip estimation is enabled
• Your OpenAI API key, if you choose to save one

Your OpenAI API key is stored only on your device and is not sent to a STAX-operated backend.

STAX requests camera access so you can:

• Capture session photos
• Scan poker chips from the camera view

Photos you choose to keep are stored on your device as part of your session history.

STAX may request approximate or precise location access so it can:

• Find nearby card rooms and casinos
• Suggest state information for session entry

Location is used in-app for these features and is not stored as a persistent location history by STAX.

STAX includes an optional cloud chip estimation feature. When you enable this feature and start a cloud scan:

• The current scan image is sent directly from your device to OpenAI
• Your saved OpenAI API key is used to authorize that request
• The request is not routed through a STAX server

OpenAI processes the image according to its own terms and privacy practices. Review OpenAI's current policies before enabling this feature.

STAX does not sell your personal information.

STAX shares data only when needed to provide an optional feature you choose to use, such as:

• OpenAI, for optional cloud chip estimation
• Google Maps or a browser, when you open directions links from the app

Data you create in STAX remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app, subject to normal device backup and storage behavior.

OpenAI API keys saved by STAX are excluded from Android backup and device transfer rules in the Android app configuration.

STAX keeps app data on-device where practical. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so STAX cannot guarantee absolute security.

STAX is not directed to children under the age of 13.

You can:

• Decline camera or location permissions
• Leave cloud chip estimation disabled
• Remove your OpenAI API key from the app settings
• Delete sessions and photos from within the app
• Uninstall the app to remove locally stored app data
