Privacy Policy

Ninth Pocket is a collection tracker. We store your account, your collection, and messages you choose to send support. No ads, no trackers, no selling data.

What we collect

Account. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your name and email address from the provider, and we store them along with the provider account identifier used to sign you in. We never see or store a password. Sign in with Apple's "Hide My Email" works fine — we just store the relay address.

Username. If you claim one, we store it. It's the address of your public profile.

Your collection. The sets you track and the cards and variants you mark as owned.

Support communications. If you email us, we retain your address, subject, and message so we can respond and maintain support history. Attachments and inline images are not retained in our database.

The app has no advertising or analytics SDKs, and it never asks for your location, contacts, photos, or anything else on your device.

How we use it

To run the service: keeping your collection in sync across sessions, computing your completion numbers, rendering the public pages you choose to publish, and responding to support requests. Nothing is used for advertising and nothing is sold or shared with data brokers.

Publishing is opt-in

Everything you track is private by default. If you publish a binder, that binder — your username, its completion, and which cards you own or are missing — becomes visible to anyone with the link. Unpublishing takes the page down immediately. Binders you never publish are never reachable by anyone but you.

Where it lives

Our servers and database are hosted on Railway. Support email is routed through ImprovMX before delivery to our email provider and database. Card images are served from third-party catalog CDNs (such as TCGdex), so loading card art sends the same request your browser would send loading any image from the web. Our website uses Plausible for cookieless, aggregate page-view analytics — it collects no personal data and the app itself contains no analytics at all.

Deleting your data

Delete your account any time from the app: Profile → Delete account. That immediately and permanently removes your account, your binders, and every collection entry — including anything you had published. You can also email us and we'll do it for you. Support correspondence is stored separately from your account; ask us if you also want those messages deleted.

Children

Ninth Pocket is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and material changes will be called out in the app.
