What we store
For each board you create or join, the server stores:
- The board configuration (name, columns, settings).
- Cards as plaintext (this is the data the team is reading).
- A randomly-generated
persistentUserIdkept in your browser's localStorage. This identifies you on reconnects but is not tied to any real-world identity. - The display name you type on the join screen.
- Vote records (which
persistentUserIdvoted on which target).
What we don't store
- No email addresses, no passwords.
- No analytics on the content of cards.
- No third-party trackers, ad networks, or session replay.
How long we keep data
Anonymous boards (no account ownership) are automatically deleted 14 days after the last activity. There is currently no account system — when accounts ship in a later release, owned boards will be opt-in to longer retention.
Where data is stored
Board state is persisted to the server's local disk (currently a single VPS in EU). It's not replicated to a third-party cloud, not backed up off-site, not synced to any external service. When the TTL elapses, the data is removed from disk.
Cookies
RetroDeck does not set any cookies. The only persistent storage on your device is localStorage, used for yourpersistentUserId and last display name.
