Privacy Policy

1. Using the website

PokéFinals is hosted within the European Union. When you open the site, technically necessary connection data such as your IP address, time, requested resource, browser and operating system is processed temporarily to deliver the service and defend it against attacks. PokéFinals itself keeps no permanent access logs. The hosting provider may process connection data in its security logs as a processor.

2. Game statistics and usage counters

A random, temporary session identifier is stored when a game starts. It expires after 30 minutes. Once a tournament is complete, the selected Pokémon and used rerolls are transmitted and checked for validity.

After validation, only daily totals and Pokémon-related aggregates are updated. There are no accounts, and the statistics database stores no name, email address, IP address, user agent, device fingerprint, language, persistent player ID or exact completion time. The action sequence is not retained as an individual completed run, and repeat attempts are not linked.

We also count website visits and key game steps, such as starting a game, completing a draft and the tournament result. Only one daily total per event is stored. Individual visits, visitor profiles and unique-visitor counts are not kept; a visit count represents page loads, not people.

3. Local storage

PokéFinals uses no advertising or tracking cookies. Browser local storage contains only your sound preference and the Pokémon from your previous draft so these expressly requested features remain available. This information stays on your device until you clear the site data.

4. Purposes and legal bases

Technical delivery, security, aggregated game statistics and analysis of website usage to improve the service are based on legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Local storage supports settings and game features you expressly use in accordance with Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG.

5. Recipients, transfers and retention

The EU hosting provider receives technical connection data as a processor. Usage analysis relies only on first-party counters on this website; no external analytics, advertising or tracking services are used. Fonts, images and game assets are also served from the same domain. No regular transfer outside the European Economic Area is intended.

Temporary game sessions are removed by routine cleanup after expiry. Only daily totals for game statistics and website usage are retained; individual visits are not stored, so they cannot be deleted one by one.

7. Your rights

Where personal data is processed, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection under the GDPR. You may also complain to a data protection supervisory authority. PokéFinals makes no solely automated decision with legal or similarly significant effects.
