Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

This privacy policy explains how Cardpecker ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website cardpecker.bot (the "Site").

We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This site is hosted on Vercel, Inc.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain technical information through Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights:

  • Page views and navigation paths
  • Device type and browser information
  • Geographic location (country/region level only)
  • Referral sources
  • Performance metrics (page load times)

Important: Vercel Analytics is privacy-friendly and does not use cookies or collect personal identifiable information. Visitors are identified through an anonymized hash that is automatically discarded after 24 hours.

2.2 Local Storage

We use browser local storage to save your theme preference (dark/light mode). This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

2.3 Contact Form Data

If you use our contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide (name, email, message). This information is only used to respond to your inquiry.

3. The WhatsApp Bot

Regarding the Cardpecker WhatsApp bot service:

  • No Personal Data Storage: The bot does not store chat history, user profiles, or personal information.
  • Command Processing Only: The bot only processes messages containing specific commands (e.g., [[Card Name]]).
  • Anonymous Statistics: We collect anonymized data about which cards are searched (not who searches them) to improve caching and identify popular cards.
  • Error Logging: Error patterns are logged anonymously for debugging purposes.
  • Group Settings: Per-group preferences (e.g., selected game, silent mode) are stored with group ID only, not group name or member information.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

5. Cookies

This website does not use tracking cookies. We only use local storage for essential functionality (theme preference). Vercel may set technical cookies for performance and security purposes.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following data protection rights:

  • Right to access your personal data
  • Right to correct inaccurate data
  • Right to delete your data
  • Right to restrict processing
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to object to processing

Since we collect minimal personal data, most of these rights are automatically satisfied. To exercise any rights or ask questions, contact us at contact@cardpecker.bot.

7. Data Retention

We retain analytics data for up to 90 days. Contact form inquiries are deleted after resolution unless you request otherwise. Bot search statistics are stored indefinitely but are fully anonymized.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us.
