Data deletion

Delete your Spades data

Spades is a free game on Facebook (a Facebook Instant Game) made by Monti Games. You play it with your Facebook account; we never receive your name, photo, e-mail address or friends list. This page explains what is kept about you and how to delete it.

What is kept

Spades is played online, so our game server keeps a game profile for you, identified only by the player ID Facebook gives this game (it means nothing outside Spades):

  • your player record and your login session;
  • your Spades statistics — games played, wins, losses and best score;
  • your hints: a record of the hint coins you received (the welcome gift and coins from videos you chose to watch) and spent;
  • tables you are playing at, only until the game ends.

Technical error reports from the game are kept in our server logs for 14 days at most.

Your settings and saved progress are stored by Facebook, not by us.

Delete it: remove the game from Facebook

Removing Spades from your Facebook account deletes your game profile. Facebook tells us automatically, and we delete everything we hold for you straight away (hint records are kept only without your player ID, so they can no longer be linked to you).

In the Facebook app (phone or tablet)

  1. Tap Menu (☰, or your profile picture), then Settings & privacy → Settings.
  2. Open Apps and websites, then the Instant Games tab.
  3. Select Spades and tap Remove.

On a computer

  1. Go to facebook.com/settings → Apps and websites.
  2. Open the Instant Games tab.
  3. Find Spades and choose Remove.

Facebook may also offer to delete your activity in the game — choose it to remove the progress Facebook saved for you. If you play again later, you start with a new, empty profile.

Confirmation

When Facebook passes on your request, we reply with a confirmation code, which Facebook shows you. The only thing we keep afterwards is that code with the game's player ID, so the deletion can be checked — nothing about your play.

Can't use Facebook's settings?

E-mail [email protected] with the subject “Delete my Spades data”. Because we don't know your name or e-mail address in the game, we will reply and help you confirm which game profile is yours, then delete it.
