Data Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Who we are
Poker Shark LLC, a Texas company, operates Poker Shark and is responsible for your data. Questions go to support@pokrshark.com.
What data we store
Account data
Email address, display name, avatar selection, and preferences (theme, settings).
Game data
Every hand you play in the arena is recorded: hole cards, board cards, actions, pot sizes, and outcomes. Session-level stats (hands played, profit, duration) are also stored.
Drill data
Practice hands, takeover branches, and starred hands are saved to your account.
Villain data
Custom opponents you create.
Analytics data
Aggregated stats derived from your play: VPIP, PFR, aggression frequency by street, showdown tendencies, and profit curves.
What we do not store
We do not store payment card details. We do not store IP addresses beyond what's needed for active session management. We do not record screen activity, keystrokes, or anything outside the app.
How your data improves the product
Our opponent types are written by hand from published research and our own hand analysis. The Adaptive opponent reads your saved Arena and Circuit hands, and hands you import, to change how it plays against you. Practice hands are not used. We may use hand histories you submit to refine the other opponent types.
We do not sell your data. We share it only with the services listed below that run Poker Shark, and we do not monetize it in any way other than improving the analytics and training tools you use inside Poker Shark.
Data retention
Your data is retained as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all data is permanently removed within 30 days.
