Sprite Vault

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Sprite Vault ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our website and services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Account information. When you sign in, we collect your email address so we can send you a one-time sign-in code and identify your account.
  • Collection data. The sprites you mark as owned and related progress are stored so we can sync them to your account.
  • Linked-account information. If you choose to link an Epic Games account to enable trading, we receive and store your Epic account identifier and display name.
  • Local device data. If you use the Service without signing in, your collection is stored only in your browser's local storage on your device.
  • Usage and technical data. Like most websites, our infrastructure providers may automatically log technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and access times to operate and secure the Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the Service, including syncing your collection across devices.
  • To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
  • To enable optional features such as trading with other collectors.
  • To communicate with you about your account and important changes to the Service.
  • To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and technical issues.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use browser local storage and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to save your collection on your device. These are essential to the Service's core functionality. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings, though doing so may sign you out or remove locally saved progress.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following third-party providers to operate the Service. Your information is processed by these providers subject to their own privacy policies:

  • Supabase — authentication and database hosting for your account and collection data.
  • Epic Games — used only if you choose to link an Epic Games account for trading.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Epic Games, Inc.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:

  • With other users you trade with. If you use trading, matched collectors may see your Epic display name so they can add you and complete a trade.
  • With service providers who process data on our behalf to run the Service.
  • For legal reasons, if required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our users and the public.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account and collection information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time, after which we will remove it except where retention is required by law.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You can also reset your collection at any time from within the Service.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Users

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, where data-protection laws may differ. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
