Pocketcraft Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you use Pocketcraft, we may collect the following types of information:

• Account information – such as your email address, username, and password (stored as a secure hash).
• Saved data – including teams you create, spawn tracking entries, and other data you choose to save in your account.
• Usage data – such as pages visited, features used, and general interaction patterns, which help us understand how the site is used.
• Technical information – such as IP address, browser type, and device information, which may be logged automatically for security and analytics.
• Cookies and session data – small pieces of data stored in your browser that help us keep you logged in and remember certain preferences.

Pocketcraft does not store your full payment card details. Payments for Pocketcraft Pro subscriptions are securely processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. Stripe handles your payment information in accordance with its own privacy and security practices.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• to provide and operate the Pocketcraft service and its features;
• to store your saved teams, tracker entries, and account preferences;
• to manage Pocketcraft Pro subscriptions and determine free vs. premium limits;
• to maintain and improve site performance, reliability, and user experience;
• to communicate important account or service updates, such as security notices or changes to features;
• to help prevent abuse, fraud, or misuse of the service.

For Pocketcraft Pro subscribers, we also use your account information to enable premium features such as unlimited saved teams, unlimited Pokémon tracking, and unlimited community team submissions.

3. Third-Party Services

Pocketcraft relies on several trusted third-party services to deliver the site and its features. These providers may process data on our behalf as part of operating the service. Examples include:

• Stripe – for processing subscription payments for Pocketcraft Pro. Stripe receives payment-related information directly from you when you complete a checkout.
• Database hosting – Supabase, which we use to store account information, saved teams, tracker data, and other application data.
• Application hosting – Render, which hosts and runs the Pocketcraft web application.
• PokéAPI – for Pokémon data and images that enhance the Pocketcraft experience.
• Mediavine (Journey) – for advertising on certain public pages of the site. Mediavine and its advertising partners may use cookies, pixels, mobile advertising identifiers, or similar technologies to show, personalize, and measure ads (including interest-based advertising where allowed by law). You can learn more in Mediavine’s privacy policy and through any consent or preference tools presented on the site where applicable.

These providers are only given the information necessary to perform their specific services, and they handle that information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

4. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect your information, such as secure connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and restricted access to production systems.

However, no online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your account password safe and notifying us if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

To make a request related to your data, please contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

6. Cookies & Similar Technologies

Pocketcraft uses cookies and similar technologies (such as session storage or local storage) to:

• keep you signed in while you use the site;
• remember basic preferences and improve usability;
• help protect against unauthorized access or misuse.
• support advertising and analytics on some pages, including cookies or similar technologies set by Mediavine and its partners as described in Section 3.
