Optimle
Last updated 15 November 2026
This policy explains what information Optimle collects when you use optimle.uk, why, and what you can do about it. In short: we collect only what's needed to run your account and the leaderboards, we never sell it, and there are no ads or tracking.
Optimle is run by Sam, an individual based in the UK. It's a free, non-commercial project. For anything about your data, email zodiactheories21@gmail.com.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your email address and password | To create your account, let you sign in, and send account emails (confirming sign-up, resetting your password). Your password is stored scrambled (hashed); nobody can read it, including us. |
| Your username | To show you on the leaderboards. |
| Your game history: the daily hands you play, your answers, scores, rating, streak and the dates you played | To run the game, work out your rating and show the leaderboards. |
| Technical information, such as your IP address and browser type | Our providers process this automatically to deliver the website, keep it secure and stop abuse. |
We don't collect your real name, location, payment details or anything else, and we don't send marketing emails.
Your username, rating and daily scores appear on public leaderboards. Your email address is never shown to anyone. Please don't use your real name or anything personal as your username.
We use your account and game data because it's needed to provide the service you signed up for (a contract with you). We use technical data to keep the site secure, which is in our legitimate interests and yours.
Optimle stores one thing in your browser: your login session, so you stay signed in between visits. This is strictly necessary for the service, so we don't need to ask for consent. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. If that ever changes, we'll update this policy and ask for your permission first.
These companies only process data to provide their services to us. Some are based outside the UK and may access data from abroad; where that happens, it's covered by the safeguards UK data protection law requires.
We keep your data for as long as you have an account. You can delete your account at any time with the Delete my account button on the main page, once you're signed in. That immediately removes your account, profile and full game history. Copies may remain in our providers' backups for a short time before they're overwritten.
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to:
Email zodiactheories21@gmail.com and we'll reply within one month.
Optimle is for adults aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone younger. If you think someone under 18 has an account, email us and we'll delete it.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, please contact us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If the changes are significant, we'll let account holders know.
