Privacy policy for Simple Plan Poker.

Information you provide

When you create or join a room, the app processes the room name, room code, your display name, your participant identifier, your role, connection status, and any planning poker card you select. Vote values are hidden from other participants until the facilitator reveals them.

How the app stores room data

Room and participant data is stored in server memory through the in-memory room store. It is used to run active rooms and is not designed as long-term storage. In-memory room data can be lost when the server restarts or the process is recycled.

Browser storage

The app uses browser localStorage to remember rooms you created or joined in the current browser. This stored list contains room codes and participant identifiers so the My Rooms page can reopen active rooms. You can clear this data by clearing site data in your browser.

Cookies, consent, and advertising

Simple Plan Poker integrates Google AdSense to display advertisements on selected public content pages. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, local storage, device information, IP addresses, and activity data to deliver, measure, personalize, or limit advertising in accordance with their own policies.

Where required by applicable law, advertising consent choices are presented through a Google-certified consent management platform before advertising cookies or similar technologies are used. Visitors can use that consent message to manage their advertising choices. Strictly necessary browser and server mechanisms may still be used to deliver the site, protect requests, maintain real-time connections, and operate the service.

Real-time communication

Simple Plan Poker uses ASP.NET Core Blazor Server and SignalR to synchronize room state, participants, votes, reveals, resets, and room closure events across connected clients. These messages are necessary for the real-time room experience.

Security and operational data

The application uses ASP.NET Core Data Protection with keys persisted on the server file system under the app data directory. Standard server logs may include operational events, errors, request information, and connection details needed to run and troubleshoot the service.

Advertising and third parties

Google AdSense is the current third-party advertising provider. Ads are limited to selected public content pages and are not intentionally placed inside active planning poker rooms, room creation and joining forms, the My Rooms page, contact page, or privacy policy. Learn more about how Google uses data on sites that use its services at Google's partner sites policy.

Data minimization

Avoid entering confidential story descriptions, customer data, passwords, or other sensitive information in room names or display names. Simple Plan Poker is intended for estimation coordination, not for storing private project records.
