“Phurti: Multiplayer Card Game” mobile game · Effective date: 9 July 2026 · Last updated: 3 August 2026

Who we are

The mobile card game “Phurti: Multiplayer Card Game” (the game, “Phurti”; formerly listed as “11 - Phurti: Multiplayer Cards”) is developed and operated by ViQwela (“we”). Contact: support@phurti.app.

What data we collect

• Account data. A randomly generated device identifier (guest sign-in). If you sign in with Google: your Google account identifier, display name and profile picture URL. We do not request or store your email address.
• Game data. In-game name, avatar, game statistics, virtual chip balance, match history, friends list, achievements, referral code.
• Push token. A Firebase Cloud Messaging token of your device, used to deliver game notifications; and the device language, used to localize them.
• Technical data. IP address and basic request data in short-lived server logs (operations and abuse prevention).
• Reports. If you report another player, we store the report.
• Private messages. The game offers private one-to-one messaging between players who are mutual friends. We store the messages you send and receive so that both participants can read the conversation history. Messages are kept for as long as the participants' accounts exist and are deleted together with an account when it is deleted. You can report or block another player directly from the chat.
• Advertising data (Google AdMob). The game shows optional rewarded ads. To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, the Google AdMob SDK processes data on your device such as the advertising ID, IP address, general device information and ad interaction data (for example, that an ad was displayed and watched). We ourselves only record the fact that a reward was earned, to credit the chips and enforce the daily limit.
• Purchases (Google Play). Chip packs are sold through Google Play's billing system. Payment details (such as your card number) are handled by Google Play and never reach us. Our server receives only the purchase confirmation (purchase token, product and order identifiers), verifies it with Google, credits the chips and keeps a record of credited purchases.

What we use it for

• Running the game: accounts, matches, progress, leaderboards, friends.
• Sending push notifications you can disable in system settings.
• Showing optional rewarded ads: you may choose to watch an ad to receive virtual chips (a daily limit applies). Ads never interrupt the game on their own.
• Preventing fraud and abuse; enforcing game rules.

Virtual chips have no monetary value, cannot be transferred between players and cannot be exchanged for real money or prizes.

Third parties

• Google Sign-In — optional sign-in with your Google account.
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) — push notification delivery.
• Google Play billing — in-app purchases. Payments are processed by Google Play under its own terms; we only verify purchases with Google and never see your payment details.
• Google AdMob — rewarded advertising. AdMob processes the data listed above under its own terms; see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. In the EEA/UK, ads are served according to the choices you make in the consent dialog shown at first launch (Google User Messaging Platform); you can review or withdraw your consent at any time via “Privacy settings” in the game settings. If you decline personalized ads, ads still work in a non-personalized mode.
• Our server is hosted at a cloud hosting provider; data is processed on that server.

We do not sell your data.

Data retention and deletion

Account and game data are kept while your account exists. Private messages are kept while the participants' accounts exist; deleting an account removes its conversations, including for the other participant. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time — see the account deletion page. Deletion uses a 7-day grace period: signing back in within 7 days cancels the deletion; after that the account and its data are permanently erased. Server logs are kept for a short period and then discarded.

Children

The game simulates gambling-style card play with virtual chips and is not directed at children. You must be at least 18 years old to play.

Changes

We may update this policy (for example, when new features such as ads or in-app purchases are added). The current version is always available at this address.
