Effective Date: March 10, 2026
At Pokémon Cards Vault, we respect your privacy as much as we respect a Gem Mint 10 Charizard. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our site or make a purchase.
1. Information We Collect
When you interact with the Vault, we collect certain information to make your experience seamless:
-
Personal Identity Information: Name, shipping address, billing address, and email address.
-
Payment Information: We use secure, third-party processors (like Shopify Payments, PayPal, or Stripe). We never store your full credit card details on our servers.
-
Technical Data: Your IP address, browser type, and “cookies” that help us remember what’s in your shopping cart.
2. How We Use Your Data
We don’t just collect data for the sake of it; we use it to power your journey as a trainer:
-
Order Fulfillment: To get your cards from our vault to your front door.
-
Communication: To send you tracking numbers or notify you when a “grail” card is back in stock.
-
Security: To protect our community from fraudulent transactions and “Team Rocket” style scams.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share data with trusted partners who help us run our business, such as:
-
Shipping Carriers: (USPS, UPS, FedEx) so they know where to deliver your package.
-
Payment Processors: To safely handle your transactions.
-
Email Services: To send you our newsletter (only if you’ve opted in!).
4. Data Security
We implement a variety of security measures including SSL encryption to maintain the safety of your personal information. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we follow all industry-standard PCI-DSS requirements to keep your data locked down.
5. Your Rights & Choices
You are the Master of your own data. At any time, you can:
-
Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
-
Correction: Ask us to update or fix any incorrect information.
-
Deletion: Request that we “Release” your data and delete your account entirely.
-
Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails via the link at the bottom of any message.
6. Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your site experience. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Vault (like the shopping cart) may not function properly without them.
