Privacy Policy
How pokeapi.org collects, uses and protects information when you visit.
Effective date: November 5, 2026
01
Our Commitment
This Privacy Policy explains how pokeapi.org handles information when you visit our website. We collect only what we need to run the site, reply to messages and improve our guides. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.
02
Who We Are
This policy covers the website at pokeapi.org, operated by the pokeapi.org editorial team. Contact: contact@pokeapi.org.
03
Information You Give Us
If you email us, we receive your email address, any name you include and the content of your message. We use it only to reply and to fix whatever you reported.
04
Contact Form Submissions
We don’t use a contact form at the moment, so email is the only way to reach us. If we add a form in the future, it will collect only what you type into it and be used only to reply to you.
05
Cookies
This website uses essential WordPress cookies, for example to remember comment details or keep administrators logged in. Advertising and analytics partners may also set cookies, as described below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
06
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We may show ads from Google AdSense to keep this guide free. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalised ads in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses data.
07
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand which guides are useful. It collects information such as the pages you visit, time on page, approximate location and device type. We review this data in aggregate only. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
08
Links to pokeapi.co, GitHub & Others
Our guides link to the official API at pokeapi.co, to GitHub and to other sites. When you open those links, your browser connects to them directly, and they may receive your IP address and request details under their own privacy policies. This website doesn’t call the API on your behalf, and it doesn’t proxy or store API requests.
09
Server Logs
Our web hosting provider automatically records basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, requested pages and time of visit. We use these logs only for security and troubleshooting, and they’re deleted automatically after a limited time.
10
Data Retention
We keep emails only as long as needed to reply and keep basic records, normally no longer than 12 months, then delete them.
11
Your Rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you. Email us and we’ll respond within a reasonable time.
12
Security
The site is served over HTTPS, and we keep WordPress, the theme and plugins up to date. No method of sending or storing data online is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
13
Children’s Privacy
This website is written for a general audience and isn’t directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we’ll delete it.
