Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Calm Collecting (calmcollecting.com) handles information. It is written in plain language, not legalese.
Information we collect
Calm Collecting does not actively collect personal information from visitors. If you use the contact form on this site, the information you voluntarily submit (your name, email address, and message) is used only to respond to your inquiry. It is not sold, shared, or used for marketing.
Cookies and third-party services
This site may use cookies or similar technologies as part of standard website operation. These may come from services such as:
- WordPress and Jetpack — used for site hosting, security, spam prevention, and performance.
- Analytics tools — used to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most helpful). Analytics data is aggregated and not personally identifiable.
- Anti-spam and security tools — used to protect contact forms and comments from spam and abuse.
Calm Collecting does not sell advertising or allow third-party ad networks to place cookies on this site.
Affiliate links
Some pages on Calm Collecting may contain affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase, Calm Collecting may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships are always disclosed clearly near the relevant content. Recommendations are made based on usefulness to parents, not based on commission rates.
Not financial advice
Nothing on this site is financial advice. Pokémon cards and collectibles can rise or fall in value. Calm Collecting is a practical guide for families who enjoy the hobby — not an investment resource. Treat collecting as a hobby, spend within your means, and make your own decisions about what to buy.
Independence notice
Calm Collecting is an independent site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Game Freak, or Creatures Inc. Pokémon and all related names are trademarks of their respective owners.
