Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 22, 2026

TypeMatchup operates the website at typematchup.org. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use the site, why it is used, and the choices available to you. By using TypeMatchup, you acknowledge the practices described below.

Information We Collect

You can use the calculators and read the site without creating an account. We do not ask for your name, password, or Pokemon team data. Calculator selections are processed in your browser and are not submitted as a user profile.

Our hosting and analytics providers may automatically receive limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location, and the time of a request. Cookies or similar technologies may also be used to distinguish visits and measure site performance.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website;
  • understand which tools and guides are useful;
  • improve performance, navigation, and content;
  • detect abuse and protect the service; and
  • support advertising and measure ad performance if advertising is enabled.

Analytics, Advertising, and Third Parties

TypeMatchup uses Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand aggregate website usage. Google and Vercel may process technical and usage data according to their own privacy policies. You can limit analytics through browser controls, privacy extensions, or cookie settings available in your region.

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, personalize, and measure ads based on visits to this and other websites. You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Where required, a consent prompt will be provided before non-essential advertising cookies are used.

The Support page may load PayPal services when you choose to make a contribution. PayPal processes payment and transaction information under its own privacy policy. TypeMatchup does not receive or store your complete card or bank account details.

Data Retention and Sharing

Analytics and server records are retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above or as required by law. We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers that operate hosting, analytics, advertising, or payment functions, or when disclosure is required to comply with law and protect the rights and security of users and the service.

Your Choices and Rights

You can block or delete cookies through your browser, use privacy controls offered by Google, or stop using the service. Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection regarding personal information. Because TypeMatchup does not provide user accounts, we may need enough information to verify and locate any relevant record before responding.

Children's Privacy

TypeMatchup is a general-audience reference tool and does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it where appropriate.

Policy Changes

We may update this policy when our services or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new update date.
