Privacy Policy & Affiliate Disclosure
Short version: We collect minimal data, we don't sell it, and we earn commissions from some casino links on this site. The free trainer requires no account and stores nothing about you on our servers.
Affiliate Disclosure
True Count Trainer participates in affiliate marketing programs. Some links on this website — specifically links to online casino operators in our casino recommendations section — are affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and sign up or make a deposit at the linked casino. This comes at no additional cost to you.
Our editorial content — including all blog articles, the free trainer, and our strategy guides — is not influenced by affiliate relationships. We only recommend casinos that offer 3:2 blackjack payouts and game conditions we consider favorable for players. Casinos offering 6:5 payouts or continuous shuffle machines are not listed regardless of potential commission.
Sponsored and advertiser-funded content is clearly labeled with "Sponsored" or "Ad" badges where it appears.
Information We Collect
Free Trainer (play.html): No account required. No data is sent to our servers. Your running count, session stats, and round history exist only in your browser's memory for the duration of your session and are discarded when you close the tab.
Email signup: If you subscribe to our free crash course, we collect your email address. This is stored by our email marketing provider (ConvertKit or equivalent) and used only to send you the course content and occasional updates about True Count Trainer. We do not sell or share your email address. You can unsubscribe from any email with a single click.
Analytics: We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as Plausible or similar cookieless tools) to understand aggregate traffic patterns — pages visited, referral sources, approximate geographic regions. This data is anonymous and not linked to individuals.
Pro customers: Payment processing is handled entirely by Lemon Squeezy. We do not store your credit card information. Lemon Squeezy's privacy policy governs the handling of payment data.
Cookies
This site uses minimal cookies. The free trainer uses browser localStorage to temporarily store your session state during play. This data does not leave your browser and is not accessible to us. If our email marketing or analytics providers set cookies, those are governed by their respective privacy policies.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting your ability to use the free trainer.

True Count Trainer may use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
- Google Fonts — used to serve typography. Google may log font requests.
- ConvertKit / Kit — email marketing. Governs email subscriber data.
- Lemon Squeezy — payment processing for Pro access.
- Netlify — website hosting. May log server access requests including IP addresses.
Data Retention & Your Rights
If you have subscribed to our email list, you may request removal at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, or by contacting us directly. We will remove your address from all lists within 5 business days.
If you are in the European Union or California, you have additional rights regarding your personal data under GDPR and CCPA respectively. Because we collect minimal data, these rights primarily apply to your email address if subscribed. Contact us at the address below to exercise any rights.
Gambling Responsibility
True Count Trainer is an educational tool. Card counting is a skill that changes the expected value of blackjack play — it is not a guaranteed profit strategy. Blackjack involves real money and carries genuine financial risk.
We do not encourage gambling beyond your means. If you or someone you know is experiencing problems with gambling:
- National Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-522-4700 (US, 24/7)
- GamCare: gamcare.org.uk (UK)
- Gamblers Anonymous: gamblersanonymous.org
You must be 21 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use online casino services.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
