Privacy Policy & Cookie Disclosure

1. About This Policy

Pokémon Team Planner is an independent fan-made tool for planning teams and comparing type matchups. This policy explains how information is handled when you use pokemon-team-planner.com, including by our hosting, analytics, and advertising providers. Read About & Contact for more about the project.

2. Team Choices and Shared Links

You can use the planner without creating an account. Team calculations take place in your browser. Selected Pokémon, forms, shiny options, and Tera types are encoded in the page URL so that you can bookmark or share your team. The planner does not use localStorage to save teams or maintain a server-side database of saved teams.

A shared URL reveals the team choices it contains to anyone who receives it. URLs can also appear in browser history, hosting requests, and analytics page information. Local calculation does not mean that all browsing information stays on your device. Please do not put personal or sensitive information in a URL you share.

3. Hosting and Security

Cloudflare hosts and delivers this website. Requests to load pages and images can include your IP address, requested URL, browser information, and request time. Cloudflare may process this information to deliver content, protect the service, and diagnose errors. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its data practices.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager on the game index and planner pages to understand visits and interactions and improve the tool. Depending on your choices and the applicable configuration, Google may process page URLs, interaction events, browser and device details, approximate location, and cookie or other online identifiers. Google also receives network information such as an IP address when your browser connects to its services.

Google tags may send limited measurements without analytics cookies when consent is denied; declining cookies does not necessarily stop all network requests. Learn more about how Google uses information from partner sites and the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

5. Advertising and Cookies

We use Google AdSense to support the operation of this website. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites. Advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to personalize ads using that activity, where permitted by your choices and applicable requirements.

Ad providers may receive IP addresses, device and browser details, and online identifiers, and may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and personalization. Other ad technology providers participating in Google’s advertising services may also process this information. Where a consent message is shown, review its partner list and the linked provider policies for the providers offered for your consent.

See Google’s privacy policy and Google’s advertising technology information. You can adjust personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings or use YourAdChoices to opt out of participating providers’ interest-based advertising. These controls do not remove all advertising.

6. Your Privacy Choices

Where Google’s consent message is available, use it to review partners and choose which purposes you accept or reject. On planner pages and the game index, the Privacy & cookie settings control appears in the footer when Google’s consent service is ready and European regulations apply to your visit. Use it to reopen the message and change or withdraw your choices.

Google may provide additional privacy controls for other regions. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings. Clearing cookies may remove stored preferences, so you may be asked again. Continuing to browse this website is not itself consent. If the on-site control is unavailable, the Google Ads Settings and YourAdChoices links above remain available for their respective services.

7. Information You Send Us

If you contact us, your email address and the information you include are used to respond to your request. Please send only information needed to describe your question or issue. For privacy questions or requests concerning information you have sent us, email support@pokemon-team-planner.com. We may need enough information to identify your request before responding. Google and Cloudflare handle information under their own policies and applicable service settings; see their policies for retention and international processing details.

8. Independent Fan Project

Pokémon names, images, and related materials belong to their respective rights holders, including Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures Inc. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by those organizations. Our About page explains the tool’s scope and limitations.
