Privacy Policy

Last updated: this policy is effective as of the date the website was published. It covers the website at thepodcompanion.com. It will be updated separately when the Pod Companion app launches.

Scope

This policy explains what information The Pod Companion website collects when you visit it, how that information is used, and the third-party services involved. It applies only to this website. The Pod Companion mobile application, when released, will have its own separate privacy policy.

Information we do not collect

The Pod Companion website does not require an account, does not include contact forms that submit data to us, and does not directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details. If you email us, we receive whatever you send in that email; we do not add it to a mailing list or share it with third parties.

Information collected by the calculator

The mana base calculator runs entirely in your browser. Inputs you enter into it are not sent to a server. If you share a link containing query parameters (for example, a URL with ?decksize=99), those parameters travel with the URL, but they only affect what the calculator displays.

Cookies and local storage

The Pod Companion website itself does not set cookies for tracking. Third-party services embedded in the site (see below) may set cookies or use similar technologies.

Google AdSense

This site is intended to display advertising served by Google AdSense. When AdSense is enabled:

• Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our sites and other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
• For more details, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Analytics

The site may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns, such as which pages are most visited and how visitors arrive. Any analytics service used will be listed here when it is enabled, along with a link to its own privacy policy.

Third-party links

The site links to external resources (for example, referenced articles on other websites). We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties.

Children

The site is a general-audience resource. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the services we use. Material changes will be noted at the top of the page.
