Privacy policy

No accounts, no sign-up

There is no login of any kind. The calculator, the reverse target search, the pair lists, the drop tables and every guide work without giving Pal Breeding Calculator anything at all. Nothing on the site is behind a form, and no email address is required to use a feature.

Your Palbox stays in your browser

The Pals you mark as owned are stored in your own browser’s local storage, under the key pbc-palbox. They are never transmitted to a server, are not tied to any identity, and disappear when you clear your browser data. The light/dark preference works the same way, under pbc-theme.

Full detail, including how to remove both, is on the cookie policy page.

Patch alert emails

The one thing this site stores about a visitor is the address typed into the patch-alert form on the contact page. It is kept on the site’s own hosting, used only to send one message when the breeding data is refreshed for a new patch, never sold and never shared with anyone. Ask for it to be removed and it is deleted: not archived, not suppressed, deleted.

Server logs

Like every website, the server records standard access logs: IP address, user-agent, requested URL and timestamp. They exist to keep the site running, to measure load and to spot abuse. They are read for those purposes only, are not used to build profiles, and are not combined with anything else.

Third-party requests

None. Every file a page needs, the stylesheet, the two font files, the images and the scripts, is served from this site’s own host. No analytics provider, no advertising network, no font host, no social embed, no CDN and no tracking pixel is contacted, which means no third party receives your IP address from visiting this site.

This was not always true: the fonts were loaded from Google Fonts until they were moved onto this host, and the two font files are now served the same way as every other asset. Nothing was added to replace that request.

What this site never does

• No selling or sharing of personal data, because there is nothing collected to sell.
• No advertising and no behavioural profiling, because no advertising network runs here.
• No cross-site tracking, fingerprinting or session recording.
• No cookies of the site’s own are set at all.

Your rights

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, or covered by a comparable law such as the CCPA/CPRA in California, you can ask what personal data is held about you, request a copy, request correction, request deletion and object to processing. In practice there is exactly one candidate, an alert email address if you submitted one, and the answer to all five is the same inbox. Requests go through the contact page and are answered within 30 days.

Children

This is a game reference and is not directed at children under 13. Nothing on the site asks a visitor for personal information; the single field on the site is the alert email address, and it should only be filled in by someone old enough to consent to receiving that message.

Changes to this policy

This policy is revised as the site changes, and the revision date at the top moves with it. If a third-party service is ever added, whether analytics, advertising or a comment system, it will be named on this page and on the cookie policy before it goes live, with what it collects and how to opt out.

Contact

Data questions, deletion requests and corrections all reach the same place: the contact page.
