Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 23, 2026

1. What Data We Collect

Session Data

Game type, casino name, net result (win/loss amount), session duration, mood at time of play, and any notes you choose to add. This is the core data SBCGuard uses to build your responsible gambling profile.

Profile Information

Email address, username, nationality, monthly budget, salary schedule, and experience level. All voluntarily provided by you during onboarding or profile setup.

Device & Browser Info

Standard browser metadata used to detect your currency region and improve the app experience. We do not fingerprint or track across websites.

Feature Usage

While you are signed in, we record which screens of the app you open (for example that you visited the Scanner) and clicks on a small number of key buttons, so we can see which features get used and which get abandoned. These records carry the screen name only — never your balances, amounts, notes or screenshots. They stay in our own database, are used for nothing but improving SBCGuard, involve no third party and no cookies, and are deleted with your account.

2. How We Use Your Data

→Provide personalized responsible gambling insights, budget alerts, and session heat scores.
→Display session data in the community live feed and leaderboard. You appear as your anonymous Player ID unless you choose to show your username in Profile; your email and real name are never shown.
→Calculate aggregate community statistics (total sessions, top games, stop-loss rates).
→Send in-app notifications about budget limits or risky patterns you opt into.
→We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third-party advertisers.
→We will never send you win-back or "we miss you" email. If you cancel or go quiet, we leave you alone. As things stand we send you no email at all: your payment receipt comes from Whop, which is the merchant of record for the charge, and every payment is listed under Profile → Orders on whop.com. If we ever do send mail it will be about your own account and nothing else. Our own research explains how casinos use reactivation offers to target people at exactly the moment they have stopped; we are not going to run that playbook on you.

3. Data Sharing

Publicly, a community feed or leaderboard row shows your anonymous Player ID (e.g. SBC-A3K9XZ), your country flag, your plan badge, and the session’s net result, session count and most-played game. Your username appears only if you turn that on in Profile — it is off by default. Your email address is never shown, and there are no photos or avatars anywhere in SBCGuard.

We do not sell your data, and we share nothing with casinos, gambling platforms, data brokers, insurers, lenders or advertisers. We do rely on a small number of service providers to run the product, and you should know exactly who they are and what each one receives:

→Supabase — our database and login. Holds your account, sessions, limits and history, encrypted at rest.
→Anthropic (Claude) — the AI that reads a scan. When you scan or run Live Monitor, the screenshot of your game screen is sent to Anthropic to be analysed, and the reading comes back to you. We do NOT store the screenshot — only the numbers read from it (balance, bet, risk scores). There is no image column in our database.
→Whop — payments. Handles checkout and your subscription; we never see or store your card details.
→Resend — email delivery, wired in for account mail only. It is switched off at present — no mail is being sent, so nothing about you reaches them today. Listed because it is connected, not because it is in use.

These are processors working on our instructions, not partners we sell to. We know a gambling record can be used against the person it describes — lenders routinely read months of bank statements and flag gambling transactions — which is why the list above is short, and why we would rather tell you it exists than let you assume it does not.

4. Data Retention & Deletion

Your data is kept for as long as your account is active. You may request full account and data deletion at any time by contacting us at the email below. We will permanently delete all session history, profile data, and your authentication record within 7 days of your request.

You may also delete individual sessions from your session history at any time.

If SBCGuard is ever sold or shuts down: most privacy policies include a “business transfer” clause reserving the right to hand your data to a buyer in a merger, acquisition or bankruptcy — of the 99 most popular websites, 85 have one. This policy does not, and we have not reserved that right. Gambling records are exactly the kind of data that can be used against the person they describe, so we are not going to treat yours as a saleable asset. Being straight about the limits: no company can promise that a court or an administrator could never compel something in an insolvency. What we can commit to is what is ours to decide — we would tell you before anything changed, not after, and you can delete everything at any time, which is the one guarantee that does not depend on us still being here.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

SBCGuard uses browser localStorage for interface preferences and for a session you have started but not yet saved, so it survives a refresh. That data stays on your device and is not sent anywhere. We use Supabase session cookies strictly for authentication. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

6. Contact

Privacy questions, data deletion requests, or concerns go to our data-protection contact. This is the person accountable for how SBCGuard handles your data under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173):
