SphereDex is an independent, fan-made tool for tracking a trading card collection. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Pocketpair, Bushiroad, or the Palworld Official Card Game. This policy explains what information the app handles and why. If anything here is unclear, email us at craigjayedit@gmail.com.
The short version: Your collection lives on your own device by default. If you choose to create an account, we store your email, a securely hashed password, and a copy of your collection so it can sync across your devices. We do not run ads, we do not use third-party tracking or analytics, and we never sell your data.
What we store, and where
Your collection, on your device. The cards you own, your wishlist, any prices, notes, and settings are saved in your browser or app's local storage on your device. This never leaves your device unless you create an account (below).
Cloud account (optional). If you sign up to sync across devices, we store your email address, a securely hashed password (we never store your actual password), and a copy of your collection data on our backend, hosted on Cloudflare. This is used only to let you sign in and sync.
Camera (Android app). When you scan a card, the app reads the card number on your device. Camera images are processed locally and are not uploaded or stored by us.
Price lookups. To show market values, the app sends a card's name and your chosen marketplace region to our server, which queries pricing services (eBay and SoldComps). These requests contain no personal information about you.
Contact messages. If you use the in-app contact form, your message (and an email address, only if you choose to provide one) is emailed to us via Resend so we can reply.
What we do not do
No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
No selling, renting, or sharing of your personal data.
Service providers we use
We rely on a small number of providers to run the app: Cloudflare (backend hosting and database), eBay and SoldComps (price data), Resend (delivering contact emails), GitHub Pages (web hosting), and Google Play (Android distribution). Each processes only what is described above.
Keeping and deleting your data
Local data: clear it any time by clearing the app's or website's storage on your device.
Account data: to delete your account and the collection stored with it, email craigjayedit@gmail.com from your account address and we will remove it.
Children
SphereDex is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. The "last updated" date above will change when we do.
