This Privacy Policy explains what information the Catch 'Em Cord Discord bot and website (the "Bot", "Service", "we", "us") collect, how we use it, and your choices. In this policy, "we", "us", and "our" mean Catch 'Em Cord and its operators. By adding or using the Service, you agree to this policy. Catch 'Em Cord is an unofficial, non-commercial fan project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokémon Company (see our Terms of Service).
We only collect what we need to run the game:
We do not collect your email, password, payment card details, IP address, or real-world identity through the Bot.
To provide and operate the game, grant rewards, run anti-cheat/anti-abuse, moderation, and security, debug and improve the Bot, and respond to support requests.
We do not sell your data and don't share it for advertising. Limited sharing happens only to run the service: Discord (the platform; see Discord's Privacy Policy); bot listing sites like top.gg (vote notifications only); the hosting/infrastructure we use to run the Bot; and payment processors, only if and when you make a future optional purchase (see Section 5). We may disclose information if required by law.
Our website (catchemcord.com) is an informational page. It does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies and does not build a profile of you. We may use privacy-friendly, aggregate, cookieless analytics (for example, to count page visits and referrers) that do not identify individual visitors. The site links to third-party services (Discord, top.gg, the support server); those are governed by their own policies.
The Bot is currently free and has no paid features, so we do not collect or process any payment information. If we introduce optional paid features in the future, payments will be handled by a third-party payment processor (for example, Patreon or a similar provider). That processor collects and processes your payment details under its own privacy policy. We do not receive or store your full card details. This section and our Terms of Service will be updated before any paid feature launches.
We keep your gameplay data while your account is active. You can request deletion at any time (Section 7). Operational logs are kept for a limited period, then purged or anonymized.
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of the data tied to your Discord user ID. Deleted progress cannot be recovered. To make a request, contact [email protected] or our support server: https://discord.gg/HFfDuNWc7v. We may verify the request comes from the relevant Discord account. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA; we honor those rights where they apply.
The Bot is intended for users who meet Discord's minimum age requirement (13+, or older where required by local law). It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child under 13 has used the Bot, contact us and we will remove the data.
We take reasonable measures to protect your data, but no method is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The Bot may be operated from, and your data processed in, a country other than your own. By using the Bot you consent to that processing.
We may update this policy. Material changes are reflected by the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, announced in our support server. Continued use means you accept them.
