Smart Chips

Privacy Policy

Effective September 27, 2026

The short version: Smart Chips doesn't collect, transmit, or share any of your data. Everything the app does — reading your camera, counting chips, remembering your chip set and session — happens on your device and stays on your device.

What the app accesses

Smart Chips uses your device's camera to photograph poker chips — both when you teach it a chip set and when you scan a stack to count it. That's the only device permission the app requests.

What's stored, and where

Everything Smart Chips creates or remembers is stored locally on your device, in the app's own private storage:

None of this ever leaves your device. Smart Chips has no server, no account system, and no cloud sync — there is nowhere for this data to go.

On-device processing

Counting chips and identifying their type is done entirely on your device using Apple's Core ML and Vision frameworks. No image, photo, or measurement is ever uploaded anywhere for this or any other purpose.

No analytics, no tracking, no third parties

Smart Chips does not use analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services. It does not track you, and it does not share information with third parties — because it doesn't collect any information to share.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the app removes everything it stored. Within the app, you can also delete a taught chip set or reset a game session at any time.

Children's privacy

Smart Chips does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age, because it does not collect information at all.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the update will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
