Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of Your information when You use the Service and tells You about Your privacy rights and how the law protects You.

We use Your Personal Data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, You agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Interpretation and Definitions

Interpretation

The words whose initial letters are capitalized have meanings defined under the following conditions. The following definitions shall have the same meaning regardless of whether they appear in singular or in plural.

Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

While using Our Service, We may ask You to provide Us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify You. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

Usage Data

Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service.

Usage Data may include information such as Your Device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

When You access the Service by or through a mobile device, We may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device You use, Your mobile device's unique ID, the IP address of Your mobile device, Your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser You use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

We may also collect information that Your browser sends whenever You visit Our Service or when You access the Service by or through a mobile device.

Information You Store in the Application

If You create an Account, the Application can back up Your app data — such as Your settings, teams, marks, search history, filter history, saved filter presets, and other customizations — to Our servers so that it can be restored across Your devices. This backup is private to Your Account and is not accessible to other users.

If You choose a profile picture from Your photo library, the picture is stored locally on Your Device only. It is never uploaded to Our servers.

We do not collect Your precise location. The Application does not request or use any location permission (such as GPS or Location Services) on any platform. However, like most internet services, Our Service Providers (for example, Google AdMob and Firebase) may infer Your approximate (coarse) location — such as Your country or general region — from Your IP address, for purposes such as serving region-appropriate ads and content, analytics segmentation, and abuse prevention.

Mobile App Permissions

The Application may request the following device permissions. Each permission is optional and You can grant or revoke it at any time through Your Device settings:

Denying any optional permission will not prevent You from using the core features of the Application, though certain features that depend on the denied permission may be unavailable.

Cookies and Local Storage (Website and Web Version)

The Website does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Website analytics are collected without cookies (see "Analytics" below). The web version of the Application, when available, uses browser local storage strictly to make the Application work — for example, to store the app database, Your settings, and Your sign-in session on Your Device. If We ever introduce non-essential cookies or similar technologies that require consent under applicable law, We will ask for Your consent before using them and update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

Use of Your Personal Data

The Company may use Personal Data for the following purposes:

We may share Your Personal Data in the following situations:

Retention of Your Personal Data

The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if We are required to retain Your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Where possible, We apply shorter retention periods and/or reduce identifiability by deleting, aggregating, or anonymizing data. Unless otherwise stated, the retention periods below are maximum periods ("up to") and We may delete or anonymize data sooner when it is no longer needed for the relevant purpose. We apply different retention periods to different categories of Personal Data based on the purpose of processing and legal obligations:

Usage Data is retained in accordance with the retention periods described above, and may be retained longer only where necessary for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

We may retain Personal Data beyond the periods stated above for different reasons:

You may request information about how long We will retain Your Personal Data by contacting Us.

When retention periods expire, We securely delete or anonymize Personal Data according to the following procedures:

Transfer of Your Personal Data

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those from Your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, We will ensure that international transfers of Your Personal Data are subject to appropriate safeguards and supplementary measures where appropriate. The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of Your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of Your data and other personal information.

Delete Your Personal Data

You have the right to delete or request that We assist in deleting the Personal Data that We have collected about You.

Our Service may give You the ability to delete certain information about You from within the Service.

You may update, amend, or delete Your information at any time by signing in to Your Account, if you have one, and visiting the account settings section that allows you to manage Your personal information. You may also contact Us to request access to, correct, or delete any Personal Data that You have provided to Us.

Please note, however, that We may need to retain certain information when we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Business Transactions

If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, Your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before Your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

Law enforcement

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

Other legal requirements

The Company may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

Security of Your Personal Data

The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, We will notify the relevant data protection authorities without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with GDPR Article 33.

Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to Your rights and freedoms, We will also notify You without undue delay, in accordance with GDPR Article 34. Our notification will include a description of the nature of the breach, the likely consequences, the measures taken or proposed to address the breach, and contact details where You can obtain further information.

Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data

The Service Providers We use may have access to Your Personal Data. These third-party vendors collect, store, use, process and transfer information about Your activity on Our Service in accordance with their Privacy Policies.

Analytics

We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

Advertising

We may use Service Providers to show advertisements to You to help support and maintain Our Service.

App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

On iOS devices, We use Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework to request Your permission before tracking Your activity across other companies' apps and websites for advertising or analytics purposes. You can grant or deny this permission when prompted, and You can change Your choice at any time in Your device settings under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

If You deny tracking permission, We will not collect Your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) for cross-app tracking purposes. The core functionality of the Service will continue to work regardless of Your tracking preference. On Android devices, You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting Your device's advertising settings.

Payments and Subscriptions

We may provide paid products and/or services within the Service. In that case, we may use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors). In-app purchases and subscriptions in the mobile Application are billed by the Application Store (Apple App Store or Google Play), not by Us.

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases, subscriptions, and entitlements. RevenueCat processes purchase information (such as an app user identifier, purchase history, and subscription status) on Our behalf. RevenueCat's Privacy Policy can be viewed at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

We will not store or collect Your payment card details. That information is provided directly to Our third-party payment processors whose use of Your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

Cloud Infrastructure and Accounts

The Service is built on Firebase, a platform provided by Google. In addition to the analytics and crash reporting services described above, We use the following Firebase services, each of which may process Personal Data (such as Your account identifiers, backup data, device tokens, and IP address) on Our behalf:

Google's Privacy Policy can be viewed at https://policies.google.com/privacy

Email Delivery

We use third-party email delivery providers to send emails on Our behalf:

Machine Translation

We use the Google Cloud Translation service to translate app content (such as Pokédex entries and other reference text) into Your language. The text sent for translation is app content, not Your Personal Data.

Beta Program (Website)

If You apply to Our beta testing program through the Website, We collect the information You submit (such as Your email address) to administer the beta program, contact You about participation, and manage invitations. A notification containing Your application details may be delivered to Us through Discord (a messaging service We use to receive application alerts). Discord's Privacy Policy can be viewed at https://discord.com/privacy

GDPR Privacy

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under GDPR

We may process Personal Data under the following conditions:

Accounts of Users Aged 13 to 15

For users in this age group, We rely on Our legitimate interests in providing, maintaining, and securing the optional Account and cloud backup and synchronization features requested by the user. We have balanced those interests against the rights and interests of younger users and limit the processing through age-based safeguards.

In particular, these users are not shown personalized advertising, analytics is disabled, promotional emails are unavailable, cloud backups are private, and the Account and its associated server data can be deleted. We do not rely on parental consent for this Account and backup processing.

In any case, the Company will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

International Transfer of Personal Data

We may transfer, store, and process Personal Data in countries other than the country in which You are located, including countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") and the United Kingdom ("UK"), where data protection laws may differ.

Where we transfer Personal Data outside the EEA/UK to a country that has not been recognized as providing an adequate level of protection, We rely on appropriate safeguards, such as:

We transfer Personal Data internationally only as needed to provide the Service and to work with our Service Providers (for example, hosting, analytics, email delivery). You may contact Us using the details in the "Contact Us" section of Our Privacy Policy to request further information about the safeguards We use for international transfers, including copies of relevant contractual protections (redacted where necessary).

Your Rights under the GDPR

The Company undertakes to respect the confidentiality of Your Personal Data and to guarantee You can exercise Your rights.

You have the right under this Privacy Policy, and by law if You are within the EU, to:

Exercising of Your GDPR Data Protection Rights

You may exercise Your rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition by contacting Us. Please note that we may ask You to verify Your identity before responding to such requests. If You make a request, We will try our best to respond to You as soon as possible. We generally respond within one month, and may extend by two further months where necessary, in accordance with applicable law.

You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about Our collection and use of Your Personal Data. For more information, if You are in the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact Your local data protection authority in the EEA.

Data Protection Contact

For all privacy-related matters, including GDPR inquiries and data subject requests, You may contact Us at support@datadex.app. We will direct Your request to the appropriate person within Our organization responsible for data protection compliance.

Israeli Privacy Law

The Company is established in Israel, and Our processing of Personal Data is subject to the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, and the regulations under it, as amended (including Amendment No. 13, which entered into force in August 2025) (the "PPL").

Your Rights under Israeli Law

If Israeli law applies to Our processing of Your Personal Data, You have the right to:

You may exercise these rights by contacting Us at support@datadex.app. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority (PPA) regarding Our collection and use of Your Personal Data.

Marketing Communications (Israeli Anti-Spam Law)

Where We send You marketing or promotional messages, We do so only after You have explicitly opted in and in accordance with Section 30A of the Israeli Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 5742-1982 (the "anti-spam law"). Every marketing email We send includes a working unsubscribe mechanism, and You may withdraw Your consent at any time, free of charge, through the email-preferences control in Your Profile, the unsubscribe link in the message, or by contacting Us.

Data Security and Breach Notification under the PPL

We maintain data security measures in accordance with the Privacy Protection Regulations (Data Security), 5777-2017. In the event of a severe security incident affecting Personal Data held by Us, We will notify the Privacy Protection Authority and, where required, affected users, in accordance with applicable law.

CCPA/CPRA Privacy Notice (California Privacy Rights)

This privacy notice section for California residents supplements the information contained in Our Privacy Policy and it applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California.

Categories of Personal Information Collected

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular Consumer or Device. The following is a list of categories of personal information which We may collect or may have been collected from California residents within the last twelve (12) months.

Please note that the categories and examples provided in the list below are those defined in the CCPA/CPRA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact collected by Us, but reflects our good faith belief to the best of Our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been collected. For example, certain categories of Personal Information would only be collected if You provided such personal information directly to Us.

Under CCPA/CPRA, Personal Information does not include:

Sources of Personal Information

We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:

Use of Personal Information

We may use or disclose personal information We collect for "business purposes" or "commercial purposes" (as defined under the CCPA/CPRA), which may include the following examples:

Please note that the examples provided above are illustrative and not intended to be exhaustive. For more details on how we use this information, please refer to the "Use of Your Personal Information" section.

If We decide to collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information We collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes, We will update this Privacy Policy.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may use or disclose and may have used or disclosed in the last twelve (12) months the following categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes:

Please note that the categories listed above are those defined in the CCPA/CPRA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact disclosed, but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been disclosed.

When We disclose Personal Information for a business purpose or a commercial purpose, We enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

Sharing of Personal Information

We may share, and have shared in the last twelve (12) months, Your personal information identified in the above categories with the following categories of third parties:

Sale of Personal Information

As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer's personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.

We do not "sell" or "share" information as most people would commonly understand these terms – meaning We do not, and will not, disclose Your Personal Information in direct exchange for money or some other form of payment.

We do not place advertising or marketing tracking technologies (such as advertising cookies, tags, or pixels) on Our Website, and We do not run cross-site retargeting or marketing campaigns that track You. The only practice of Ours that could be deemed "sharing" or a "sale" under the CCPA/CPRA occurs within the Application: device identifiers and advertising data flow to Our advertising Service Provider (Google AdMob) in order to serve personalized ads to consenting users aged 16 and over, as described in the "Advertising" section. Users under 16 receive only non-personalized ads.

We may disclose or may have disclosed in the last twelve (12) months the following categories in a manner that may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" as defined in CCPA/CPRA:

Please note that the categories listed above are those defined in the CCPA/CPRA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact sold, but reflects our good faith belief to the best of Our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been shared for value in return.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain California residents' Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy (including the purposes disclosed in this CCPA/CPRA notice), taking into account: (i) how long we need the information to provide and maintain the Service and Your Account; (ii) whether You have requested deletion (subject to applicable exceptions); (iii) Our legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations; (iv) security, fraud prevention, and abuse monitoring needs; and (v) the time periods needed to resolve disputes and enforce Our agreements.

Specific retention periods for major data categories are described in the "Retention of Your Personal Information" section of Our Privacy Policy, and We may retain certain information longer where required or permitted by law (for example, to comply with recordkeeping obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims).

Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age

As described in the "Children's Privacy" section, users under 13 cannot create an Account, and users under 16 are not shown personalized advertising. Certain third-party websites that we link to may collect personal information from minors. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and instruct their children to never provide information on other websites without their permission.

We do not knowingly sell or share, as those terms are defined by the CCPA/CPRA, the Personal Information of Consumers We actually know are under 16 years of age. We do not offer an opt-in process for such sale or sharing. As described above, known users under 16 are not shown personalized advertising. If You believe We have sold or shared the Personal Information of a Consumer We actually know is under 16, please contact Us.

If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided Us with Personal Information contrary to the practices described in the "Children's Privacy" section, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to investigate and, where appropriate, delete that information.

Your Rights under the CCPA/CPRA

The CCPA/CPRA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. If You are a resident of California, You have the following rights:

Exercising Your CCPA/CPRA Data Protection Rights

Please see the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" section and "Limit the Use or Disclosure of My Sensitive Personal Information" section for more information on how to opt out and limit the use of sensitive information collected.

Additionally, in order to exercise any of Your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us:

Only You, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to Your personal information.

Your request to Us must:

We cannot respond to Your request or provide You with the required information if We cannot:

We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving Your verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.

Any disclosures We provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request's receipt.

For data portability requests, We will select a format to provide Your personal information that is readily usable and should allow You to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer's personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.

You have the right to opt-out of the "sale" of Your personal information. Once We receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request from You, We will stop "selling" Your Personal Information. To exercise Your right to opt-out, please contact Us or follow the below instructions.

The only practice of Ours that may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA is the flow of device identifiers and advertising data to Our advertising Service Provider to serve personalized in-app ads to consenting users aged 16 and over, as described in the "Advertising" section. You can opt out using the following controls:

In the Application

Use the privacy options entry in the Application's settings (where available) to review or withdraw Your advertising consent choices at any time.

Web Browsers

When You use the Service through a web browser, We will treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from Your browser as a valid opt-out request, as described in the "Global Privacy Control" section. We do not use advertising cookies on Our Website, so there are no cookie-based preferences to manage.

Mobile Devices

Your mobile device provides privacy controls that may affect advertising identifiers and cross-app tracking. On iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking to review or change dataDex's tracking permission. On Android, advertising controls vary by device and operating-system version and may be found under Settings > Privacy > Ads or Settings > Google > All services > Ads. Available controls may include deleting or resetting the advertising ID and managing ad-privacy preferences. These device settings are separate from the advertising-consent choices available within the Application.

Limit the Use or Disclosure of My Sensitive Personal Information

If You are a California resident, You have the right to limit the use and disclosure of Your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such services or goods.

We collect, use and disclose sensitive personal information in ways that are necessary to provide the Service. For more information on how We use Your personal information, please see the "Use of Your Personal Information" section or contact us.

To submit a request to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, please contact Us using the methods listed in the "Contact Us" section of Our Privacy Policy.

"Do Not Track" Policy as Required by California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

Our Service does not respond to Do Not Track signals.

However, some third-party websites do keep track of Your browsing activities. If You are visiting such websites, You can set Your preferences in Your web browser to inform websites that You do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable DNT by visiting the preferences or settings page of Your web browser.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Where required by applicable law (including for California residents), when You use the Service through a web browser We will treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal sent by Your browser as a valid request to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of Your personal information for that browser. You can learn more about GPC at https://globalprivacycontrol.org

Your California Privacy Rights (California's Shine the Light law)

Under California Civil Code Section 1798 (California's Shine the Light law), California residents with an established business relationship with Us can request information once a year about sharing their Personal Data with third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes.

If you'd like to request more information under the California Shine the Light law, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us using the contact information provided below.

California Privacy Rights for Minor Users (California Business and Professions Code Section 22581)

California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 allows California residents under the age of 18 who are registered users of online sites, services or applications to request and obtain removal of content or information they have publicly posted.

To request removal of such data, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us using the contact information provided below, and include the email address associated with Your Account.

Be aware that Your request does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of content or information posted online and that the law may not permit or require removal in certain circumstances.

Children's Privacy

The Service can be enjoyed by users of all ages, and We take the privacy of children seriously. When You first use the Application, We ask for Your birth month and year. This information is stored on Your Device and is used to configure the Application appropriately for Your age, as described below. We designed this age gate so that children can use the Application's core Pokédex features without providing Personal Data to Us.

Users Under 13

For users under the age of 13, the Application automatically operates in a restricted, child-appropriate mode:

Users Aged 13 to 15

Users aged 13 to 15 may create an Account. Regardless of country or region, We treat all users under 16 protectively: they are never shown personalized advertising (ad requests are flagged for under-age-of-consent treatment), We do not request advertising consent from them, and analytics is disabled for them entirely. Account-related Personal Data for these users is processed only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including authentication, optional backup and synchronization, responding to support requests, Service security, and compliance with legal obligations. Parents or guardians of users in this age group are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy with them.

Parents and Guardians

We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children in violation of applicable law. The age gate relies on the information the user provides; if You are a parent or guardian and You believe Your child has provided Us with Personal Data (for example, by entering an incorrect birth date and creating an Account, or by submitting a contact form), please contact Us at support@datadex.app and We will delete that information from Our servers.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let You know via email and/or a prominent notice on Our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
