Gist Mill LLC ("we", "us", "our") operates the website gistmill.studio and the multiplayer card game platform at gistmill-45.riverrat72.workers.dev. This privacy policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Information We Collect
We collect only what is necessary to operate our card game platform and send game notifications:
- Phone numbers: If you opt in to SMS notifications, we collect your phone number to send game session alerts.
- Player names: When you join a game session, you may provide a display name. This is not stored after the session ends.
We do not collect email addresses, payment information, location data, or any other personal information through the game platform. No account creation is required to play.
How We Use Your Information
Phone numbers provided for SMS notifications are used solely to send game session notifications — alerts that a card game table is ready to join. We do not use your phone number for marketing, advertising, or any other purpose.
SMS Notifications
- Messages are sent from +1 (774) 380-3200.
- Message frequency varies, typically 1-5 messages per week.
- Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier.
- Consent to receive SMS is not a condition of using the game platform.
- You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message.
- You may request help by replying HELP to any message, or by contacting us at the address below.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your phone number or any personal information with third parties. Your data stays with us and is used only for the purposes described in this policy.
Data Retention
Phone numbers are retained only as long as you remain opted in to notifications. If you opt out by replying STOP, your number is removed from our notification list. Game session data (player names, game results) is not stored after sessions end.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. Phone numbers are stored securely and access is limited to the business owner. Our game platform runs on Cloudflare Workers infrastructure with built-in security protections.
