Rami Tounsi (website and Android app) · Last updated: 5 November 2026

Rami Tounsi is a free card game, paid for by ads (see Ads). There are no in-app purchases and no analytics. Accounts are optional: only ranked games need one (a Google login). This page explains the little data the game needs to work.

What is stored on your device

• A random player id, created by the game. It lets you get your seat back at an online table after a reconnect. It is not linked to your name, phone or Google account, and other players never see it.
• The nickname you type for online play, so you don't have to type it again.

Both are kept in your browser's local storage. Clearing the app's data removes them. If you log in with Google, the browser also keeps your account's player id and nickname until you log out.

What is sent to our server

Only when you play online: your random player id, your nickname, your moves in the game and the chat messages you send. The server keeps them with the table (in a database) so the four players can play together. Other players at your table see your nickname and your chat messages (the table keeps only its last 50 messages). Someone can also watch a table, but only if every player at it accepts: they see the game exactly as the player they watch sees it (that player's cards included), see and write in the chat, and the players see their nickname. A table and everything in it is deleted when it closes: when its creator ends the game, or after 15 minutes without activity while it is still waiting for players.

Reports. In the chat you can block a player (you no longer see their messages) or report them. A report keeps a copy of the table's recent chat messages, with the nicknames and random player ids of the people involved. Reports are deleted after 90 days. A player reported by all the other players of a table can't chat or play online for 7 days: the server keeps their random player id, nickname and the end date of the ban until it ends, then deletes them.

Ranked games. When you play a ranked game, the server keeps, under your random player id, your latest nickname and how many ranked games you played and won. The leaderboard shows these to all players (your nickname, games, wins and score; never your player id). They are kept until you ask us to delete them.

Online status. When you connect for online play, the server keeps, under your random player id, your latest nickname, whether you are online, offline or in a game (and that game's table code), whether you play in the Android app, a phone browser or a computer browser (read from your browser's User-Agent; the rest of it is not kept), and when you were first and last connected. We use it for play statistics; it is never shown to other players. For a guest it is deleted after 30 days without a connection, or sooner if you ask us; for a Google account it is kept with the account. To stop people from making fake players in bulk, the server also counts how many new players each IP address makes in an hour; it keeps only a scrambled (hashed) form of the IP, never the IP itself, and deletes the count after the hour.

Google login (ranked only). To play ranked you log in with Google. The server receives a sign-in token from Google, checks it with Google, and keeps only Google's id for your account (not your email, name or photo), with your account's player id and nickname. Your ranked stats and match history then belong to that account, on any device. The first time you log in on a device, the account takes over that device's player (its nickname, ranked stats and history). The account is kept until you ask us to delete it.

Match history. When an online or ranked game ends, the server keeps its result (the players' nicknames, final scores, who won, and for ranked the places and score changes) under the random player ids of the players at the table, so each of them can see their own past games. Other players never see your player id. These results are deleted after 180 days.

Voice chat. Voice chat is off when you sit at a table. If you press the voice button, the game asks for your microphone and your voice goes directly from your device to the devices of the other people at the table (players and spectators) who joined voice too (WebRTC, encrypted). Our server only helps the devices find each other: it never receives, records or stores your voice. To connect directly, the devices learn each other's network (IP) address. When a network doesn't allow a direct connection, the encrypted voice is passed on by Cloudflare's relay (TURN) service, which can't listen to it and doesn't keep it. Leaving voice, the table or the game turns your microphone off. You can also stop hearing any player.

Solo games against the bots run entirely on your device; nothing is sent (their history is kept in your browser's local storage).

Ads

The game shows ads from Google AdSense on the start screen, in the online menu and waiting room, and after a partie, never during a hand. Google and its partners may use cookies and device identifiers to show ads and measure them, and may show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area and the UK), Google asks for your consent first. See how Google uses data from sites that use its services; you can turn off personalised ads in Google's ad settings. We don't send Google your nickname, your player id or your games.

Hosting

The game is hosted on Vercel, with a MongoDB Atlas database and an Upstash Redis service; voice chat may use Cloudflare's relay service (see Voice chat). Like any web server, they may keep short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses) for security and to keep the service running. We do not use these logs to identify players.

What we don't do

• We don't ask for your real name, email, phone number, location, contacts or photos. The microphone is used only while you are in voice chat, and never recorded.
• We don't sell your data, and we don't share it with anyone except Google for the ads (see Ads).

Children

The game does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Delete your data

1. On your device: clear the app's data (Android: Settings → Apps → Rami Tounsi → Storage → Clear data, or clear the site data in your browser). This removes your player id and nickname.
2. On the server: tables are deleted by themselves when they close, and reports after 90 days. To have a table or a report deleted sooner, or your ranked stats or online status deleted, email the address below with your nickname (and the table code, for a table); we delete it and reply to confirm.
3. Your Google login account: email the address below with your nickname and ask for your account to be deleted. We delete the account (its Google id, player id, nickname, ranked stats and match history) within 30 days and reply to confirm.
