Plain Language · No Accounts · Your Data Stays on Your Device
Last updated: September 30, 2026. This policy explains exactly what Random Pokemon Generator does — and does not do — with your information, in plain language. The short version: we collect almost nothing, and everything you generate stays on your own device.
TL;DR
Random Pokemon Generator has no accounts, no registration, no newsletters, and no contact forms. We never ask for your name, email address, age, location, or any other personal detail. You can use every tool on the site — the main Random Pokemon Generator, the Nuzlocke Team Builder, and every other page — without an account.
Roll history, saved teams, and filter preferences are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. That data is never uploaded to us, never synced anywhere, and disappears the moment you clear your browser's site data.
We use Plausible, Google Analytics 4, and Microsoft Clarity to understand how the site is used — which pages are popular, roughly how many visitors we get, and where people get stuck. Plausible is the one that belongs to us: it runs on a server we rent, sets no cookies, and keeps no personal data or IP addresses. The other two are Google's and Microsoft's, and both of them use cookies. You can block any of the three with a browser setting, add-on, or content blocker without breaking anything on the site.
Data minimization
Because there is no sign-up system, there is no account database. We do not store usernames, passwords, email addresses, or profile information of any kind — there is simply nothing to leak, sell, or breach.
Everything you generate is computed locally by JavaScript running in your browser. When you spin the Pokemon Wheel Spinner, build a squad in the Pokemon Team Picker, or judge the dex in Pokemon Smash or Pass, the results are produced on your device and stay there. We have no server-side database of user activity.
The site has no checkout, no affiliate tracking pixels, and no social media trackers. We do not sell or rent personal information, and there is no account database to expose.
On your device only
Several tools remember your recent activity so you can pick up where you left off. The main Random Pokemon Generator keeps your last 20 rolls in its Roll History; the Nuzlocke Team Builder stores rolled squads with replay links; the generator pages keep their own roll histories; the Pokemon Team Picker remembers your squad; and Who's That Pokemon stores game progress and scores.
All of this uses your browser's localStorage, a storage area that lives entirely on your device. The data is never transmitted to our servers, never backed up anywhere, and never accessible to us. Share links encode your squad in the URL itself — opening one just lets the recipient's browser reproduce the same roll locally. Reference pages like Pokemon Shiny Odds and the Pokemon Nature Chart store nothing at all beyond the same pattern of optional local preferences.
Clear your browser's site data or local storage for this domain and everything is gone permanently. In most browsers: Settings → Privacy → Site settings → View permissions and data stored across sites, then delete this site's entry. Most tools also include their own Clear History button inside the history panel.
Usage statistics
Plausible is the analytics tool we run ourselves, on a server we rent instead of someone else's cloud. It records page views, the page you are on, where you arrived from, and the plain details your browser hands over anyway — screen size, browser, operating system, country. There are no cookies, no identifier that survives past your visit, and no stored IP address: the address is used once to answer your request and then discarded, so nothing in the database points back to a person.
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure aggregate usage: page views, approximate geographic region (country/city level), device and browser type, and how visitors move between pages. GA4 sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) to distinguish returning visitors from new ones. We do not use it to identify you personally, and we do not combine it with any other dataset.
We also use Microsoft Clarity, a free behavior tool from Microsoft, to see how the site is used in practice: it turns clicks, taps, scrolling, and mouse movement into session replays and heatmaps, so we can find pages that confuse people. Input fields are masked automatically, so what visitors type isn't captured, and other sensitive content is hidden by default. As with GA4, we never use it to identify anyone personally.
Plausible has no outside processor to name: the data sits on a server we rent ourselves, covered by this policy and nobody else's. Google and Microsoft act as the data processors for their own analytics, under their own privacy terms. You can read Google's policy at policies.google.com/privacy and Microsoft's privacy statement at privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement. We do not enable advertising features, remarketing, or personalized ads in our GA4 configuration.
You can block analytics in any of three ways: disable or block cookies for this site in your browser settings; install Google's official Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on; or use any content blocker — the standard lists in popular blockers already include both Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Every tool on this site works identically with analytics fully blocked.
Infrastructure
The site relies on a small set of outside services: PokeAPI for Pokemon data and artwork, Vercel for hosting, Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity for usage statistics, Google and other advertising vendors when ads are displayed, and directory badge providers on the homepage. Our own analytics is deliberately not on this list — Plausible runs on a server we rent and control, so nothing about it is handed to an outside company.
Pokemon species data and official artwork are loaded from PokeAPI and its image CDN. When your browser requests a sprite or dataset, those servers see a standard resource request (your IP address and browser user agent), the same as loading any image on the web. We send them no personal information about you.
The site is hosted on Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel's edge network processes standard server logs — IP address, requested URL, timestamp, and user agent — to deliver pages and protect against abuse. These logs are retained according to Vercel's own policies.
The homepage footer displays small "Featured On" badges loaded from third-party directory sites (such as DANG!, SaaS Roots, and similar directories). Loading those badge images tells those servers that a page on our site was viewed. Outbound links to external sites are governed by those sites' own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.
You are in control
Because your roll data lives only in your browser, you hold the only copy. Clear the site's local storage and it is permanently erased — there is no server-side copy for you to request deletion of, and no account to close.
Block this site's cookies, install Google's opt-out add-on for Google Analytics, or run a content blocker. Blocking cookies or running a blocker stops Microsoft Clarity as well, and it stops Plausible too — Plausible reads nothing from your device, so a blocker leaves it with nothing to record. Nothing on the site requires cookies to function; every generator, game, and calculator works with storage and analytics fully disabled (history features simply will not persist between visits if storage is blocked).
The site itself performs no cross-site tracking, so there is nothing for us to stop. Plausible never follows anyone across sites in the first place — it only ever sees the pages you load here. Google Analytics does not respond to the Do Not Track signal by default; use the opt-out methods above if you prefer not to be counted.
How the site is funded
Random Pokemon Generator is free to use, and advertising is what keeps it that way. When ads are displayed, they are delivered by third-party vendors, including Google. These vendors may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google explains how it uses data from partner sites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Some ads are personalized, chosen using your browsing history; others are non-personalized and matched to the page you are viewing. You can switch off personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings (google.com/settings/ads), and opt out of many participating vendors at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu. The consent mechanisms for personalized advertising are provided by our advertising partners, and personalized ads are shown only where permitted.
Ad targeting here is not directed at children — see Children's Privacy below.
Age & audience
Random Pokemon Generator is a fan project built for Pokemon players aged 13 and older. It is not directed at children under 13 — the age threshold in COPPA, the U.S. children's privacy law — and it is not designed or marketed for them.
The site has no accounts, no registration, and no profile fields, so there is nowhere for a child — or anyone else — to submit personal details. Roll history and saved teams stay in the visitor's own browser storage and are never sent to us.
We do not use interest-based advertising or remarketing to target children under 13.
The fine print
If we change how the site handles data — for example by adding a new analytics or hosting provider — we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be summarized in the page's commit history on our public repository.
Questions about this policy? Open an issue on our public GitHub repository at github.com/githubi2/Random-Pokemon-Generator — it is the fastest way to reach the maintainers. Random Pokemon Generator is a fan project and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokemon Company.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has sent us personal information — for example, in a GitHub issue — let us know on our public repository and we will look into it and remove any personal details we find. Nothing is stored on our servers, so there are no other records to check.
FAQ
No. The site has no accounts, no sign-up forms, no comment systems, and no contact forms, so it never asks for your name, email address, or any other personal detail. Every tool runs entirely in your browser.
In your own browser's local storage, on your own device. Roll history, saved teams, and filter preferences never leave your device and are never transmitted to our servers. Clearing your browser's site data deletes them permanently.
The site itself sets no cookies, and neither does Plausible, the analytics tool we run on our own server — it has no cookie to set and nothing that follows you between visits. Two other analytics tools do set their own: Google Analytics 4 uses first-party cookies such as _ga to distinguish visitors, and Microsoft Clarity uses the first-party cookies _clck and _clsk to connect page views into session recordings. Microsoft may also set its own cookies from Microsoft domains while Clarity runs. When advertising is displayed, Google and its partners may also set cookies for ad delivery and measurement. You can block cookies in your browser settings, manage ad personalization in Google Ads Settings, or use a content blocker — every tool on the site works identically.
Three ways: block cookies for this site in your browser settings, install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or use a content blocker that filters Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Plausible needs no tool of its own — it reads nothing from your browser, so turning off scripts or cookies is already more than enough. All tools on the site work identically with analytics blocked.
We do not sell, rent, or share any user data. Google (analytics, and advertising when ads are displayed), Microsoft (analytics), and Vercel (hosting logs) process limited technical data as part of serving the site. Our own analytics tool, Plausible, runs on a server we rent, so what it records never reaches anyone but us. Pokemon data and artwork are loaded from the public PokeAPI project, which sees only a standard resource request.
