Random Pokemon Privacy Policy Scope & Core Principles
The official random pokemon privacy policy on this page describes how RandomPokemon.net handles information when you access our suite of 25+ browser-based Pokémon generators, competitive damage calculators, Pokédex reference directories, and interactive mini-games.
We built RandomPokemon.net on a fundamental premise: you should be able to explore Pokémon statistics, simulate battle rosters, and generate random squads without surrendering personal identity data. We do not maintain user databases, member registrations, password repositories, or credit card billing systems.
Google Analytics 4 & Technical Telemetry Data
To ensure high uptime, diagnose broken calculators, and determine which Pokémon generation filters are most popular, RandomPokemon.net utilizes Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-XYR6PGFQKE). GA4 collects aggregated, non-personally identifiable diagnostic signals, including:
- Approximate geographic signals derived from IP address (city and country level, without precise GPS coordinates).
- Browser engine type (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), device classification (mobile, tablet, desktop), and screen resolution.
- Page interaction events (such as clicking the 'Generate' trigger, changing generation dropdowns, or copying Showdown text).
- HTTP referrer metadata indicating the search engine or external community website that linked to our tools.
We do not transmit personally identifiable information (PII) to Google Analytics. IP anonymization is enforced automatically by Google Analytics 4 architectures.
Google AdSense, Third-Party Advertising & Cookies
Free web hosting, global content delivery networks, and database maintenance are supported by non-intrusive banner advertisements provided through Google AdSense and accredited digital ad exchanges.
Third-party advertising vendors, including Google, employ HTTP cookies, local storage tokens, or web beacons to serve ads based on your prior browsing history across this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its certified partners to serve ads relevant to your interests.
You maintain complete control over ad personalization. You can modify your targeting settings at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or utilizing the Digital Advertising Alliance consumer choice portal at aboutads.info.
Client-Side LocalStorage, Game State & Saved Teams
Many utilities on RandomPokemon.net—including the Team Planner, Favorite Pokemon Picker, and Pokémon Wordle—utilize HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage APIs.
These browser storage objects reside exclusively on your physical hard drive or mobile flash memory. They store:
- Active six-Pokémon squad rosters, effort value spreads, natures, and held items.
- Historical generator results and favorite tier list selections.
- Daily guess sequences and win-streak records for browser guessing games.
- Progressive Web App (PWA) installation preferences and UI theme options.
Clearing your browser cache or deleting site data in your settings instantly and permanently purges these records without any action needed from our servers.
GDPR, UK DPA & California CCPA/CPRA Privacy Rights
Depending on your geographic residency, international data protection statutes grant you specific rights regarding your digital information:
- European Union (GDPR) & UK Data Protection Act: Visitors in the EEA and United Kingdom are presented with an interactive consent management banner before non-essential advertising or analytics cookies are set. You have the right to withdraw consent, access stored data, and object to processing.
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA): California consumers have the right to request disclosure of personal data categories collected, request deletion, and opt out of the 'sale' or 'sharing' of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We do not sell personal data for monetary compensation. To submit a formal privacy request, contact our privacy desk at [email protected].
Children's Privacy Protection & Data Retention Policy
RandomPokemon.net is a general-audience fan gaming resource. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from individuals under the age of 13.
Because we do not operate user accounts, we retain zero persistent user records on our backend servers. Aggregated analytics logs maintained by Google Analytics are scheduled for automated expiration after standard statutory retention periods.
