Privacy Policy

Effective April 15, 2026

1. What we collect

tcgvibes.com collects minimal data to operate the service:

  • Standard web analytics (page views, browser type, referral source) via server logs.
  • Locally stored preferences and recently viewed cards (browser localStorage only, never sent to our servers).
  • If you sign in with Google: your Google display name, email address, and profile picture. This is used solely to identify your session and manage feature access (e.g., research credits). We do not access your Google contacts, calendar, or any other Google data.

Account registration is optional. You can use most of tcgvibes.com without signing in. We do not use tracking pixels from third parties.

2. Cookies

tcgvibes.com uses essential cookies for basic site functionality and, if you sign in, a session cookie to keep you logged in. We do not use advertising cookies or share cookie data with third parties.

Third-party services linked from our site (such as eBay) have their own cookie policies. We encourage you to review their privacy practices when visiting their sites.

3. Third-party links

Our site contains affiliate links to TCGplayer and eBay. When you click these links, you leave tcgvibes.com and are subject to the privacy policies of those third-party sites. We are not responsible for their data practices.

4. Data we do not collect

  • We do not collect payment information or physical addresses.
  • We do not track individual purchasing behavior.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties.
  • We do not use data for targeted advertising.
  • If you sign in, we store only the minimum Google profile data listed in Section 1. You can revoke access at any time via your Google account settings.

5. Local storage

tcgvibes.com uses your browser's localStorage to save recently viewed cards and display preferences. This data stays entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

6. Children's privacy

tcgvibes.com does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
