What data Durak Peak collects, why, who it goes to and how to have it deleted.

Last updated: 30 August 2026

Durak Peak ("the app", "we", "us") is a card game published by Pixhelm, a sole trader operated by Bayjan Bayjanov, based in Baku, Azerbaijan — the data controller for the purposes of this policy.

This page explains what personal data the app collects, why, who it goes to, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do about it. We collect as little as we can, and the game is fully playable offline without an account.

It is written to meet the requirements of the Apple App Store, Google Play, the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data-protection law. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the online features.

01Playing without an account

Every offline mode — the full game against bots at all three difficulties — runs without signing in and without sending us anything. Offline progress, match history and settings stay on your device.

02What we collect, and why

The table below mirrors our App Store "App Privacy" and Google Play "Data safety" disclosures.

Data When and why Legal basis (GDPR)
Device identifier (randomly generated) Created the first time you go online, to give you a guest account Performance of a contract
Account identifier, nickname, avatar To run your profile, your matches and the leaderboard Performance of a contract
Email address Only if you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, through Firebase Authentication Consent; performance of a contract
Gameplay records (moves, results, statistics) To run server-settled matches, match history and the ladder Performance of a contract
Coin balance and transaction ledger To hold your in-game balance and settle staked tables Performance of a contract
In-game text chat and reactions Delivered between players at a table Performance of a contract; legitimate interests (safety)
Push token (Firebase Cloud Messaging / Apple Push) Only if you allow notifications, to send "your turn" and "match found" alerts Consent
Advertising identifier and ad interactions To show ads between matches and to credit rewarded ads (see §4) Consent, where required by your region
Purchase transaction identifier To verify an in-app purchase with Apple or Google and credit it once Performance of a contract

We do not collect your contacts, your location, your photos, your camera or microphone, any health data, or any payment card details. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple and Google; we never see your card, and we receive only a transaction identifier we use to confirm the purchase was real.

03In-app purchases and coins

Coin packs and the ad-free purchase are processed by the App Store or Google Play under their own terms and privacy policies. We receive the store's transaction identifier and the product bought — nothing else.

Coins are a virtual in-game balance. They cannot be exchanged for money, transferred to another player, or cashed out, and free tables are always available.

04Advertising

Durak Peak shows full-screen ads between matches, and optional rewarded ads you choose to watch in exchange for coins. Ads are served through Appodeal, which mediates a number of advertising networks.

Depending on your region and your choices, those networks may use your device's advertising identifier to select and measure ads. Where the law requires consent for that — the EEA, the UK and comparable regimes — you are asked before any personalised advertising takes place, and you can change your answer at any time in your device settings (iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads).

A one-off in-app purchase removes the between-match ads permanently.

Rewarded ad credits are confirmed to us by the ad network's own servers, not by your device — which is how we know a reward was actually earned.

05Chat, reactions and player safety

Text chat, reactions, your nickname and your avatar are user-generated content. To keep tables usable we provide tools to report and block other players, and we may review reported content. Harassment, hate speech, threats and obscene language are prohibited under our terms, and we may suspend or remove accounts that break them.

There is no voice chat in Durak Peak, and the app never requests microphone access.

06What other players can see

Your nickname, avatar and results are visible to the players you are seated with and on the public leaderboard. Do not put personal information in your nickname or in chat.

07Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We use a small number of providers, strictly to run the service:

  • Google Firebase — Authentication (Sign in with Google/Apple) and Cloud Messaging (push notifications).
  • Apple — Sign in with Apple, Apple Push Notification service, and App Store purchase verification.
  • Google Play — purchase verification for Android.
  • Appodeal and the advertising networks it mediates — ad delivery and measurement (see §4).
  • Our game servers and hosting — to run matches and store online data.

These providers act on our instructions as processors, except the advertising networks, which act as independent controllers for the advertising data they receive. We may also disclose data where the law requires it, or to protect the safety and security of our players and the service.

08Storage, security and international transfers

Online data is held on servers operated for us and protected in transit with TLS. Authentication is handled by Google Firebase. Because we and our providers operate internationally, your data may be processed outside your own country, including outside the EEA; where required we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

09How long we keep it

Account data — profile, ladder entries, online match history and coin ledger — is kept while your account exists. Chat messages are kept only as long as the table they belong to needs them. When you delete your account, the associated personal data is deleted or anonymised, except where we must keep limited records to meet a legal obligation or resolve a dispute.

10Deleting your account

You can delete your account and its online data at any time from Profile → Settings → Delete account in the app, or by emailing support@pixhelm.com. The account deletion page sets out exactly what is removed.

11Children

Durak Peak is not directed at children under 13, or under the minimum age of digital consent where you live. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.

12Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to have your data deleted. Email support@pixhelm.com to exercise any of them. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

13Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes are reflected in the "last updated" date above and, where it matters, notified in the app.
