Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 20, 2026
PokemonInvestor is an independent Pokémon card research website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use information when you use our website, analytics, card search, watch alerts, future accounts, watchlists, and related tools.
Information we collect
- Information you provide: email address, watch alert preferences, future account details, saved watchlists, and messages you send us.
- Usage information: pages viewed, cards searched, filters used, outbound links clicked, referring pages, approximate location, device/browser type, timestamps, and performance/error data.
- Market data: third-party card, listing, pricing, sales, and grading data used to power research tools.
Analytics and cookies
PokemonInvestor uses Google Analytics 4 and similar tools to understand site usage and improve the service. Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies and may collect page views, interactions, approximate location, device details, referral source, and event data such as watchlist filters, card clicks, compare actions, marketplace clicks, and lead submissions.
Accounts, watchlists, and alerts
If account, saved watchlist, or alert features are enabled, we may store the information needed to provide those features, including your email address, saved cards, alert preferences, notification history, and account settings. Alerts are provided for convenience and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate.
How we use information
We use information to operate and improve PokemonInvestor, provide card research tools, send requested alerts or emails, analyze site performance, prevent abuse, debug errors, improve data quality, and comply with legal obligations.
Email communications
If you submit your email for alerts or updates, we may send card-watch updates, daily picks, service messages, and future account-related notifications. You may unsubscribe from optional emails when unsubscribe options are available.
Third-party services and marketplace links
PokemonInvestor may use hosting, analytics, email, authentication, pricing-data, marketplace-data, affiliate, and error-monitoring providers. We may link to TCGplayer, eBay, PriceCharting, grading companies, or other third-party websites. Those third parties have their own privacy practices and may collect information when you visit them.
Affiliate disclosure
Some marketplace links may be affiliate links. PokemonInvestor may earn a commission if you click or make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. We do not control third-party listings, sellers, prices, authenticity, fulfillment, or marketplace policies.
Sharing and retention
We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. We may share information with service providers, analytics providers, infrastructure vendors, marketplace or affiliate partners when you click outbound links, legal authorities when required, or in connection with a business transfer. We retain information as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, improve reliability, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.
Your choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings and use Google’s available analytics opt-out tools. If account features are available, you may request access, correction, deletion, or unsubscribe options subject to legal, security, backup, and operational limits.
Children, security, and international users
PokemonInvestor is not directed to children under 13. We use reasonable safeguards, but no website or internet transmission is completely secure. Information may be processed in countries with different privacy laws than your location.
