Privacy Policy

Unofficial fan project — not affiliated with or endorsed by Bushiroad or Pocketpair. “Palworld” and all card names & artwork are property of their respective owners.

What we store: signing in is optional. You can sign in with Google or Discord (we store your account handle, which provider you used, and the email and avatar from that provider), or create a passwordless account with a recovery key (we store only your handle and a hash of that key — no email, no password). Either way we store your game and match data (used for play, match history, and ranking) and anonymous product-usage events (e.g. "a match was created") to help us improve the site. You can also play casual matches anonymously without any account.

Email: if you sign in with Google or Discord we keep the email address from that provider. We do not email you today. In future we may use it to send occasional product updates about the game, and if we do you'll be able to opt out. We never sell it or use it for advertising. Recovery-key accounts have no email on file.

Security: we never see or store passwords — Google/Discord handle sign-in, and recovery keys and session tokens are stored only as hashes, never in the clear. Web-server logs record request metadata (including IP address) for rate-limiting and abuse prevention. Note: for a recovery-key account, that key is the only way back in — save it. If you lose it and haven't also linked Google or Discord, the account can't be recovered.

Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used — which pages are visited, how people arrive, roughly where in the world they are, and what browser or device they use. Google sets its own cookies to do this and processes that data as a service provider on our behalf. We do not send it your account handle, email, recovery key, decks, or match history, and we have not enabled Google's advertising or cross-device features on our analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or by blocking cookies for this site.

Advertising: the site is supported by display advertising. Our advertising partner is Newor Media, who together with their vendors — including Google — serve the ads you see here. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. We never share your account handle, email, recovery key, decks, or match history with advertisers.

Opting out of personalized ads: you can opt out of personalized advertising by Google at adssettings.google.com, and out of many other advertising vendors at aboutads.info/choices or optout.networkadvertising.org. Opting out does not remove ads — it makes them less specific to you.

Affiliate and store links: some pages offer links to buy the physical cards from TCGplayer, an independent online marketplace. Following one takes you to TCGplayer's own site, where their privacy policy and terms apply, not ours. These links may carry a referral tag; where they do, we may earn a small commission on a purchase at no extra cost to you, and the page carrying the link says so beside it. We do not receive your order details, payment information, or anything else about what you buy — we only ever see that a link was clicked. Prices and availability shown or linked are TCGplayer's own and can change at any time; we do not set them and cannot honour them.

Cookies and local storage: we use a small number of first-party cookies and browser local storage to keep you signed in, remember your deck and display settings, and count anonymous product-usage events. Google Analytics and our advertising partners set their own cookies as described above. You can block or clear cookies in your browser at any time; if you do, sign-in and locally saved decks may stop working.

EEA and UK: where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before non-essential cookies are set or your data is used for personalized advertising, and you can change or withdraw that choice at any time through the privacy controls our advertising partner provides. You also have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your data, and to object to how we process it.

California: we do not sell your personal information for money. Sharing data with advertising partners for personalized advertising may still count as a "sale" or "share" under California law — you can opt out using the vendor controls above, or by contacting us. California residents also have the right to know what we hold, to have it deleted or corrected, and not to be treated differently for asking.

What we do NOT do: we do not sell your account data, we do not email you today, and we do not share your email, recovery key, or match history with advertisers.

Your choices: play without an account to stay anonymous. To access or delete your account and its data, or to raise any privacy request, contact us via our Patreon (patreon.com/gardenogames).
