Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Favorite Pokemon (favoritepokemon.org) is a static website that primarily runs in your browser. We do not require accounts, email addresses, passwords, or user profiles to use the Pokemon tools.

Pokemon picker, team builder, nature, and vote interactions happen locally in your browser session. No account, sign-up, or email is required.

2. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google services — Google may provide analytics, measurement, or advertising-related services. If we use Google AdSense or other Google advertising products, Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, personalize, or measure ads. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Analytics — helps us understand site traffic and usage patterns in aggregate.
• Adsterra — provides native banner advertising through effectivecpmnetwork.com. Adsterra and its partners may use cookies, similar browser storage, device information, and ad interaction data to serve, measure, and improve ads.
• PokeAPI — Pokemon data and sprite references are based on public PokeAPI resources. Sprite images are cached and served from this site where practical, so ordinary sprite views do not require a separate request to GitHub or PokeAPI.

3. Cookies

We do not require our own login cookies. Third-party analytics and analytics and advertising services may set cookies or use similar browser storage as part of their services. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, and you can learn more about Google advertising controls at Google Ad Settings.

4. Children's Privacy

Favorite Pokemon is a family-friendly site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data through a third-party service, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

5. Data Retention

We do not maintain user accounts or personal profile databases. Tool interactions exist in your browser session unless a third-party service independently processes data under its own policy.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
