1. Introduction

Welcome to Pokémon Team Planner (accessible at pokemon-team-planner.com). Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. This tool is an unofficial, non-profit fan application designed to help players analyze team mechanics, type matchups, and battle coverage for various generations of Pokémon games.

2. Data Collection & Local Processing

Zero Personal Data Storage: We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal identifying information (PII).

Local Storage & URL Serialization: All of your customized team selections, shiny statuses, and form overrides are processed locally in your web browser. When you customize a team, the team configuration is either stored in your browser's local storage (to remember preferences) or serialized directly within your browser's URL address bar for shareability. We do not run databases or servers to capture or store your squad data.
