Welcome to DeckCodes.chat! We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and store information when you use our website.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Deck Images: When you upload a Marvel Snap deck image, we process this image solely to extract the card list and generate a deck code. The original image is processed and a temporary thumbnail may be generated for display purposes.
Information Stored Locally
- Deck History (Optional): If you consent to "Personalization" cookies/storage, we store information about the decks you've successfully processed (including the deck list, a generated deck name which you can edit, the thumbnail URL, and the deck code) directly in your browser's local storage. This allows you to see your recent decks. This data is not sent to our servers.
- Cookie Preferences: Your choices regarding cookie consent are stored in your browser's local storage.
Information Stored Temporarily on Servers
- Uploaded Images & Thumbnails: Uploaded images are processed on our server to extract deck data. Thumbnails generated from these images may be stored temporarily on our servers to display them on the results page and in your local deck history. We aim to retain these only as long as necessary for the service to function (e.g., potentially for a few days or weeks to allow sharing links to work).
How We Use Information
- To Provide the Service: We use the uploaded images to generate deck codes.
- To Enhance Your Experience: If you consent, we use local storage to provide features like deck history and remember your cookie preferences.
- To Support the Service: We use advertising to keep the service free.
Third-Party Services & Advertising
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Advertising with and without Consent
Our website is supported by advertising, and we handle this in two ways to respect your privacy choices:
- With Advertising Cookies Enabled: When you consent to advertising cookies, we'll show personalized ads that may be more relevant to your interests based on your browsing history and preferences.
- With Advertising Cookies Disabled: If you choose not to accept advertising cookies, we'll still show ads, but they will be non-personalized. These ads are based only on the context of the page you're viewing and not on your past browsing behavior.
In both cases, we rely on ad revenue to provide our service at no cost to users. We believe this approach respects your privacy choices while allowing us to maintain a free service.
Analytics (Potential)
We may use analytics services (like Google Analytics) to understand how users interact with our site to improve it. These services may collect anonymous usage data if you consent to "Analytics" cookies.
Data Storage & Security
Deck history and preferences are stored in your browser's local storage. You can clear your browser's storage to remove this data. Thumbnails are stored temporarily on our servers with reasonable security measures in place.
Your Choices
- Cookie Management: You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the "Manage Cookie Preferences" link in the footer. Declining personalization cookies will prevent deck history from being stored.
- Clearing Local Storage: You can clear your browser's local storage to remove all locally stored deck history and preferences.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
