Who we are

The service branded as "Favorite Pokemon Picker" (this website and related APIs) is operated as an independent fan project. For privacy correspondence, contact [email protected].

Scope

This policy applies to information processed through favoritepokemon.com and linked subdomains we control. It does not govern third-party sites we link to (for example social networks where you might share an export).

Information we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

• Account data — if you sign in, we process identifiers and profile elements provided by your identity provider (such as email address and name) as described at sign-in.
• Content you create — picker saves, published charts, vote topics, poll options, titles, descriptions, and similar fields you submit to the service.
• Technical data — server logs, approximate timestamps, IP address, user agent, route accessed, and error diagnostics needed to operate and secure the service.
• Support messages — what you send when you contact us, including your email address and attachments you choose to provide.

Why we use information (purposes)

• Provide core features: rendering pages, saving progress, tallying votes.
• Authenticate sessions, prevent abuse, enforce rate limits, and investigate fraud or spam.
• Maintain backups, monitor reliability, and fix defects.
• Respond to legal requests where required by applicable law.
• Communicate with you about support or safety issues when needed.

Legal bases (EEA, UK, and similar regions)

Where GDPR-style rules apply, we rely on one or more of:

• Contract — processing necessary to deliver the service you request.
• Legitimate interests — securing the product, understanding aggregate usage, and improving stability, balanced against your rights.
• Consent — where we ask for it clearly (for example non-essential cookies or marketing, if offered).
• Legal obligation — when the law requires retention or disclosure.

Sharing and processors

We do not sell your personal information. We share data with service providers who help us host, store, authenticate, or protect the site (for example cloud infrastructure or sign-in providers), under contracts that limit their use to providing services to us. Some content you publish may be visible to other visitors by design (public gallery, public polls).

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Operational logs typically roll off on a shorter cycle than account records. If you delete your account where the product supports deletion, we remove or anonymize associated personal data except where retention is legally required.

Security

We use industry-standard safeguards such as encryption in transit, access controls for production systems, and least-privilege principles. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; if you believe you have found a vulnerability, email us with details so we can investigate promptly.

International transfers

We may process and store data in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for cross-border transfers.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise rights, email [email protected] from the address associated with your account when possible, so we can verify ownership proportionately.

Children

The service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. When changes are material, we will post an updated date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice on the site.
