Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the independent fan site pokemonpokopia.org collects, uses, and shares information. This policy covers the website and its browser-based tools; it does not cover the Pokemon Pokopia game or official Nintendo and Pokemon services.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

• Newsletter subscriptions: Email addresses and subscription status
• Contact information: When you reach out to us via [email protected]
• Feedback and inquiries: The information you include when contacting us

Information Collected Automatically

• Website analytics: Page views, approximate session information, referrers, and interactions
• Device and network information: Browser type, operating system, IP address, and approximate region
• Local browser storage: Language choices, checklist progress, wishlist entries, and tool settings stored on your device
• Cookies and similar technologies: Used by enabled analytics, security, consent, and advertising services

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Operate the website: Provide localized pages and remember browser-based tool state
• Respond to messages: Review corrections, privacy requests, and support inquiries
• Improve the website: Understand aggregate usage and diagnose technical problems
• Send newsletters: Deliver site updates when you have subscribed and let you unsubscribe

Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

When Google AdSense is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to serve and measure ads. Google may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's previous visits to this website or other websites.

Visitors can manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services.

Other authorized advertising vendors may also use cookies for personalized advertising where permitted. Available vendor choices and consent controls are presented through the site's consent flow when required.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, personalized advertising must not be enabled until the required consent has been obtained through a Google-certified consent management platform. Declining personalized ads does not necessarily prevent all cookies needed for non-personalized or limited advertising.

We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, or other directly identifying information to Google in ad requests.

Service Providers and Data Sharing

Depending on which environment variables and services are enabled, information may be processed by:

• Analytics providers: Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics, Plausible Analytics, or Baidu Analytics
• Email providers: The provider used to manage newsletter subscriptions and delivery
• Hosting and security providers: Services that deliver the site, prevent abuse, and log errors
• Advertising providers: Google and authorized third-party vendors when advertising is enabled
• Legal recipients: When disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect users, the site, or our rights

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Security

We use HTTPS and limit access to information that requires server-side processing. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Tool data stored only in your browser remains under your browser and device controls unless you choose to send it to us.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal information
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your information
• Object to processing
• Request data portability
• Withdraw consent

International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process information outside your country. Their privacy terms and legally required transfer safeguards apply to that processing.

Retention Period

We retain contact and subscription information only as long as needed for the purpose collected, legal compliance, security, and dispute resolution. You can unsubscribe from newsletters at any time. Browser-local tool data can be cleared through the site's controls or your browser settings.

Children's Privacy

This site is a general-audience game guide and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the site, service providers, advertising configuration, or legal requirements. The updated date appears at the top of this page.
