Your privacy
In short: We keep your email, username and saved collection so you can sign in and use setcollect on any device. Your collection is private to you. We don't sell your information or use it for advertising. You can ask us for a copy, a correction or deletion, or complain, by emailing support@setcollect.gg. This notice explains what information setcollect uses and how to ask for help with it.
About this policy
setcollect is a collection-tracking website run by Michael Perez. This policy explains how we use your personal information. For privacy questions or requests, email support@setcollect.gg.
What we use
For an account, we use your email address, account identifiers, username and sign-in information. We save the collection information and preferences you choose, including owned cards, quantities, collecting goals, binder colours and price-display settings.
Your saved collection is private to your account. Other collectors cannot browse it through a public profile or sharing feature.
Our service providers process technical information needed to deliver and protect the service, such as network addresses, browser/device information, request times and email-delivery records. If you contact support, we receive your message and what you include.
We do not ask for identity documents, your date of birth or a parent account. We do not sell your account or collection information or use it for targeted advertising.
You need to give an email address to have an account. We do not make decisions about you using automated processing that has legal or similarly significant effects.
Why we use it
We use information to provide the account and collection features you request, send account emails, respond to help requests and keep the service secure. We rely on legitimate interests in providing a useful, secure private collection service, taking particular account of younger users' privacy. We also use information where necessary to meet legal duties, including responding to data-protection requests.
Accounts and younger collectors
Accounts are for people aged 13 or over. If you are under 18, you need permission from a parent or legal guardian. The sign-up declaration is a statement from you, not an identity check.
We keep the same privacy protections for all users. Parental permission does not give a parent automatic access to your account. Contact support if you think an under 13 account has been created.
Cookies and saved appearance
Sign-in cookies keep your session working. Your browser can also remember layout choices you make: whether the sidebar is collapsed and how many cards you show in the binder, and, within the current tab, which parts of the navigation are open. These choices stay on your device and are not sent to us.
You can switch this off at any time. Turning it off stops this device remembering those choices and clears the ones already saved. It does not affect signing in or your saved collection. If you clear your browser data, this setting resets.
This only affects layout choices saved in this browser. Your sign-in and saved collection are unaffected.
Providers and overseas processing
We use Supabase for accounts/database, Vercel for hosting, Resend for account emails and Microsoft 365 for support mail.
The main database is in Ireland. Resend sends our emails from Ireland but stores email data in the United States. Other provider operations may also take place outside the UK. Where required, relevant data-transfer safeguards apply, including the providers' UK contractual transfer terms. You can ask for more information or copies of the applicable safeguards.
Approved external card-image hosts can receive your network address and basic browser request information when an image loads directly from them. This does not send them your account email or a list of your saved holdings.
Optional support
Support is for adults, or for people under 18 with a parent's or guardian's permission. Ko-fi and PayPal set their own age rules.
You can support setcollect through Ko-fi, with payments processed by PayPal. This opens an external service; we do not collect your card or bank details on this website. See the Ko-fi privacy policy and PayPal privacy statement for their handling of your information.
We receive supporter names, email addresses, transaction information such as amounts and payment references, and any message you leave. PayPal may share additional contact or transaction information. We use these records to manage support, respond to payment questions and meet legal record-keeping duties. We rely on legitimate interests in managing optional support and on legal obligations where applicable, and keep the records only as long as needed for those purposes.
Your supporter name and any public message may appear on Ko-fi according to its settings. Supporting setcollect does not make your saved collection public.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and collection information while your account is open. When we confirm a request to close your account, we delete your account and collection records, except limited information we must or reasonably need to keep for a specific legal or security reason.
We keep other records only as long as we need them for their purpose: sign-up attempts that are never completed, support emails, supporter and payment records, and short records showing how we handled a privacy request. We then delete them.
Our email provider normally keeps email and delivery records for 30 days, with backups for 7 days. Hosting, sign-in and security providers keep their own technical records for limited periods. Deleting your account does not delete emails already in your inbox or immediately remove every provider log or backup.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or transfer your information, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Email support@setcollect.gg. We may need proportionate verification and will normally respond within one month, subject to the applicable rules.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, tell us at support@setcollect.gg. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and tell you the outcome. You can also complain to the UK data protection regulator (the ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Changes
We will keep this notice aligned with the service and explain material changes appropriately. Effective: 6 November 2026.
