Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 12, 2026

Welcome

At The Adventure Collectors, we're committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website. We believe in transparency and want you to understand exactly what data we collect and why.

Information We Collect

Account & Collection Data

If you create a free binder-tool account, we store your email address and a securely hashed password (via our authentication provider, Supabase), plus the collection data you choose to track — which sets you’re collecting and which cards you mark as owned or still want. We use this only to power your binders, want-lists, and progress. You can download or permanently delete all of it at any time from your account page.

Accounts are for people 13 and older. To keep families collecting together, a parent or guardian can create and hold the account for a younger child.

Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This service collects anonymous information including:

  • Pages you visit and time spent on each page
  • How you arrived at our site (search engine, direct link, social media, etc.)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system
  • General geographic location (city/region level, not precise location)
  • Actions taken on the site (clicks, searches, filter usage)

Note: We use this data in aggregate to improve the site and don’t try to identify you personally with it. That said, analytics and anti-spam services (Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA) do process technical identifiers such as your IP address and device details, so it isn’t fully anonymous. These services set cookies and are governed by Google’s privacy policy.

Newsletter Subscriptions

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect and store your email address. This information is used solely to send you updates about our Pokemon collecting journey, Disney adventures, and related content. We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email we send, or by contacting us directly.

Contact Form Submissions

When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry and is not used for marketing purposes unless you've also subscribed to our newsletter.

How We Use Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. We use cookies for:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics uses cookies to track how you use our site, helping us improve your experience and create better content.
  • Preferences: Remembering that you've seen our cookie notice so we don't show it to you repeatedly.
  • Functionality: Ensuring certain features work properly, like search and filtering on our tracker pages.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete them. However, if you disable cookies, some features of our site may not work properly. Learn more about managing cookies at AllAboutCookies.org.

Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted third-party services to operate our website:

  • Google Analytics: For website analytics and understanding user behavior. View Google's Privacy Policy
  • Vercel: For website hosting and performance. View Vercel's Privacy Policy
  • Supabase: Secure data storage and account authentication (your account, collection data, newsletter emails, contact submissions). View Supabase's Privacy Policy
  • Brevo: Our email service — stores newsletter subscribers and sends our emails. View Brevo's Privacy Policy
  • Google reCAPTCHA: Protects our forms and signups from spam and abuse; it processes technical data (including IP) per Google's privacy policy.
  • impact.com (TCGplayer affiliate): When you follow a “Buy on TCGplayer” link, this affiliate network may record the click so we can earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. View impact.com's Privacy Policy

These services may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they handle your information.

External Shopping Links

Our shop page may link to external platforms where we sell Pokemon cards (such as TCGPlayer, eBay, or Whatnot). When you click these links and make purchases, you're subject to those platforms' privacy policies and terms of service. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information or purchase history on external platforms.

We may earn commission from sales made through affiliate links, but this does not affect the price you pay or the information collected about you.

Children's Privacy

The Adventure Collectors is a family-friendly site, but our accounts, newsletter, and forms are intended for people 13 and older — you must confirm you meet that age to sign up. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a younger child wants to track their collection, a parent or guardian should create and hold the account and supervise its use.

If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at our contact page and we will delete that information promptly.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect any information we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes:

  • Using secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS) for our entire website
  • Storing email addresses and form submissions in secure, encrypted databases
  • Limiting access to personal information to only essential personnel
  • Regularly updating our security practices

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights & Choices

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Self-serve download & deletion: If you have a binder-tool account, you can download all your data or permanently delete your account and collection yourself, at any time — no request needed.
  • Access: You can request to know what information we have about you.
  • Correction: You can request that we correct any inaccurate information.
  • Deletion: You can request that we delete your email address from our newsletter list or any other personal information we've collected.
  • Opt-Out: You can opt out of analytics tracking by using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Unsubscribe: You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our contact page.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • The right to know what personal information we collect, use, and share
  • The right to request deletion of your personal information
  • The right to opt-out of the "sale" of personal information (note: we do not sell personal information)
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise these rights, please contact us through our contact page.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

If we make significant changes that affect how we handle your personal information, we will notify you by posting a notice on our homepage or, if you've subscribed to our newsletter, by sending you an email.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
