Privacy Policy for Pengpay

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pengpay. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data.

Important Note: Pengpay is a score-keeping and debt-calculation utility for Mahjong and other games. We do not process real-money transactions, handle bank transfers, or store credit card information.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum amount of data necessary to make the app function as intended.

• Account Information: When you sign up, we may collect your username, email address, and a hashed (encrypted) version of your password.
• Game & Transaction Data: We store the data you input regarding games, including scores, players involved, and calculated debts (e.g., “Player A owes Player B 50 points”).
• Technical Data: Like most web apps, we automatically collect basic log data such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system for debugging and security purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information strictly to:

• Provide and maintain the Pengpay service (e.g., calculating splits and saving your history).
• Authenticate your identity so you can log back in securely.
• Monitor the usage of the app to detect bugs or prevent abuse.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.

We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners (though currently, we do not do this).

We may use third-party service providers to help us operate the app (such as a cloud hosting provider like AWS/Vercel/Heroku or a database provider). These parties have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

5. Data Security

We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it.

• All data is transmitted over secure SSL/TLS connections (HTTPS).
• Passwords are never stored in plain text; they are hashed and salted.
• However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Cookies

We use “cookies” (small data files stored on your device) solely to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising tracking.

7. Your Data Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of any incorrect data.

8. Children’s Privacy

Pengpay does not knowingly collect Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete this from our servers.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, we advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
