Last updated 15 November 2026
Stoush is a free parody card game. We keep as little about you as the game needs, we do not sell it, and we do not run advertising or third-party trackers.
What we store
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| A random session cookie | So your packs and cards are still yours when you come back. We store only a scrambled copy of it | 180 days, or until you log out |
| Your cards, pack count and pack history | It is the game | Until the account is deleted |
| Email address and display name, if you sign up | To log you in, reset a password and confirm the address is yours | Until the account is deleted |
| A password, if you set one | To log you in. Stored only as a one-way hash, never as the password itself | Until the account is deleted |
| Your account id and email from Google, Apple or Facebook, if you sign in that way (with Apple you may choose to hide your real address) | To recognise you next time. We never see that password and never post anything | Until the account is deleted |
| Your showcase, if you make one | The cards you chose to show, your display name and your card counts. Anyone with your showcase link can see these, and nothing else | Until you take the cards down or delete the account |
| Who you follow | To list your friends' showcases for you | Until you unfollow or either account is deleted |
| Your Facebook friend list, only if friend matching is switched on and you allow it at sign-in | Read once to connect you with friends who already play. We keep the resulting connections, not the list | Not kept |
| Your IP address | To limit abuse, such as sign-up floods and password guessing | Up to 48 hours |
You can play as a guest without giving us anything but the cookie. Guest accounts that can no longer be reached are removed automatically.
Who else handles it
The site and its database run on hosting providers that process this information on our behalf, and email is sent through a delivery service. They may store data outside Australia. They act only on our instructions.
Cookies
One cookie, for your session, plus a short-lived one while a social sign-in is in progress. Your browser also remembers sound settings and whether you have seen the front page. There are no advertising or analytics cookies.
Your choices
- Delete your account from the Account sheet in the game. It removes your email, password, cards and history straight away. Numbered cards you pulled stay counted as issued, with no link to you.
- Ask for a copy, a correction, or deletion by writing to the address below.
Children
Stoush is political satire written for adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
