Last Updated: March 3, 2026

Welcome to Pokédex Checklist (the "Website"), located at https://www.pokedexchecklist.com/. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Website, you agree to comply with and be legally bound by these Terms. These Terms govern your access to and use of the Website, including all features, content, and services provided by Pokédex Checklist.

2. Description of Service

Pokédex Checklist is a web application designed for Pokémon card collectors to track their collection of one card per Pokémon species in the National Pokédex (1025 species). The Website allows users to create and manage a checklist, sort by Pokédex number or name, search for Pokémon, view completion progress, share checklists via unique links, and export data as CSV files. The Website operates offline using browser LocalStorage and is built as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for mobile-friendly use.

The Website offers both free and premium features:
- Free users can access all core checklist functionality with data stored locally on their device.
- Premium users can create accounts, sign in via Google OAuth, save their progress to the cloud for syncing across devices, and customize their language preferences for Pokémon names.
- Logged-in users (free and premium) can view a Leaderboard that ranks users by their Pokédex collection progress. The Leaderboard is designed to protect privacy: it does not display any personally identifiable information (PII). It shows only a first initial (with the rest of the name anonymized), a generic placeholder instead of a profile picture, collection count and completion percentage, and account creation date. No full names, email addresses, or profile images are shown on the Leaderboard.
