1. What does this Privacy Notice cover?
Our Privacy Notice applies to the collection and processing of personal information by The Pokémon Company International, Inc. and our subsidiaries and affiliated companies acting on our behalf (collectively “Pokémon” or “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Notice applies only to personal information collected about you as a consumer through the Pokémon network of websites (for example, Pokemon.com and PokemonCenter.com), as well as apps, features, services, events, and communications provided by Pokémon where this Privacy Notice is posted (“Services”). This notice does not apply to human resources data or the “Pokémon Careers” website.
Our international affiliates and third-party websites or apps that our Services link to, or with whom we may have a presence, or with whom we may license use of our trademarks and copyrights, may collect and use personal information for their own purposes. Where they do so, their respective privacy notices apply. Please review the respective terms and privacy notices of these entities to learn how they process your personal information. For example, Pokémon GO is developed and distributed by Niantic, Inc. Please visit https://nianticlabs.com/privacy/pokemongo/en/ for information about how Niantic, Inc. processes your data.

With your consent; for example, when you agree to our sharing your information with other third parties for their own purposes, subject to their separate privacy policies
With third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who work for us and need to access your personal information to do that work, including for business purposes that require access to our systems that hold personal information (such as supplying cloud data storage, maintaining the security of our systems, and providing customer support). In the past 12 months, we have disclosed to vendors all of the categories of personal information described in Section 2.

In connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, transaction, or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets for use in accordance with applicable law
5. How long do we keep your personal information?
Pokémon keeps your personal information for as long as appropriate to maintain your accounts, to provide Services, to fulfill your requests, for legal compliance and enforcement purposes, and for resolving disputes. Actual retention periods depend on a variety of factors, such as the type of product, the type and sensitivity of the data, business needs, customer expectations and needs, the types of available user controls, and the form in which the data is stored.

8. Product-specific data processing details
The following are product-specific details to supplement the information in this Privacy Notice.
If you participate in the Play! Pokémon tournament ratings and rankings portion of our websites, we will use personal information about you to track your tournament results, player ranking, rating, and player status (e.g., active, terminated, winner, etc.). Except for those jurisdictions where privacy law specifies a different age, (a) if you are 13 or older, we will post your full name or first name and last initial (as you direct us), as well as your state and country/region with your player ranking; and (b) if you are under 13, your parent or guardian can choose to post your screen name, full name, or first name and last initial in the player rankings. If you choose not to create a Pokémon Trainer Club account after participating in Play! Pokémon events, we will retain your first name, first initial of last name, date of birth, and any championship points earned for participating in any event where this information alone cannot identify you and is not considered personal information.
Also, if you participate in the Play! Pokémon tournament ratings and rankings portion of our websites, we will share your personal information with independent third parties (such as League Leaders and Tournament Organizers) who run Play! Pokémon events that you may participate in. In most cases, these are independent third parties and not Pokémon employees.
If you've signed up to play our products or participate in competitions and provide us with non-Pokémon account information (e.g., a Nintendo Account) where that function is available, we will receive your date of birth and account ID from the other account operator. If participating in competitions to be awarded Play! Pokémon championship points, the date of birth from your non-Pokémon account will be verified against your Pokémon Trainer Club (“PTC”) Account, and information about whether there was a match or not, and your PTC ID will be shared with the other account operator.
Pokémon Apps
Pokémon will keep your personal information within a Pokémon app for as long as you keep the app on your device. If you create an account, the app sends your personal information to our servers. We keep your data for as long as you maintain an account and for 90 days after you disable the account, in case you choose to reactivate the account or in case the request to disable the account was in error. Certain apps may give you the option to receive push notifications. You can turn push notifications on or off through settings within the app or your device. You may disable our access to your precise geolocation data through settings in your device.
PokemonCenter.com
If you provide information to create an account or as part of a transaction, payment, or other account action, Pokémon may deliver marketing communications to you about similar goods or services if you have not opted out of such marketing when given the chance to do so. We may also use third parties, such as Authorize.net and PayPal, to process payment transactions and facilitate fraud protection. PayPal and other third-party entities may use your information for their own purposes, including to service accounts you have with them and for fraud prevention. Please review their respective privacy notices to understand how they use your information. PokemonCenter.com's services are intended for customers in the United States and Canada. For more information, please refer to the PokemonCenter.com Terms of Use.
Automated Retail Devices (a.k.a. Vending Machines)
TPCi operates automated retail devices (also known as vending machines) in certain locations in the United States. If you make a purchase from one of these devices, the device will collect payment card and other payment information for the purpose of processing and completing your purchase. The device will also request your email address for the purpose of sending purchase receipts. Receipts will be sent by VendNovation LLC, a partner that assists TPCi in operating the devices, on TPCi's behalf, and may include links to other TPCi product and services that are governed by other sections of this Privacy Notice. TPCi's automated retail devices are equipped with camera equipment that counts the number of people passing in front of the device, but the devices do not store or transmit video.
9. Information for individuals
You have the following rights:
A right to be informed of the ways in which we use your information.
A right to request from Pokémon access to personal data, including (i) the categories and specific pieces of information we have collected about you, (ii) the categories of sources collected, (iii) the purpose for collecting or using the information, and (iv) the third parties with whom we share your personal information; and rectification or deletion/erasure of personal information under certain circumstances and subject to a number of exceptions, and certain rights to data portability.
A right to object to the processing of your personal data or obtain a restriction of such processing under certain circumstances.
A right to have your personal data transferred to another organization should it be technically feasible for Pokémon to do so.
If the processing of personal data is based on your consent, a right to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal)
There may be exceptions to these rights in certain circumstances, and where you cannot exercise a right due to an exception, we will provide that explanation.
A right to bring your complaint to a regulator. If you are based in the European Economic Area (EEA) and believe that we have not complied with data protection laws, you can complain to our regulator, the UK Information Commissioner's Office, or your local supervisory authority; however, regardless of where you are based, we would appreciate it if you would give Pokémon the chance to deal with your concerns directly by contacting us.
To make such requests, contact us at [email protected] or https://support.pokemon.com/hc/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000012406.
If you submit a request, we will require you to verify your identity either by making the request through your existing account and/or by providing a form of governmental identification through our customer service portal, where, if feasible, we may match your identification information with personal information we have about you, depending on the type of request made and verification measures proportional to the risk of the personal information involved with the request(s). There is no reasonable method by which we can verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law for certain pieces of personal information, for example: unique identifiers such as cookie IDs, device ID, and IP address (where that information is not held by us in connection with directly identifiable information). There may be exceptions to these rights in certain circumstances, and where you cannot exercise a right due to an exception, Pokémon will provide that information. Pokémon will use reasonable efforts to fulfil your request within the response times of the applicable laws.
We transfer personal data from the EEA, the United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland to other countries or regions, some of which have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection.
Whenever we transfer your personal data from inside the EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom to other countries or regions, the transfer will be based on at least one of the following:
(a) Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and/or UK Information Commissioner's Office as providing an adequate level of data protection.
(b) Transfer to a country, territory, or specified sector within a country or territory that the European Commission has determined to ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data.
(c) The transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract in your interest, or to take measures that you have requested, or is based on your explicit consent.
This may include a requirement for Pokémon to release personal information in response to a legal obligation or legal process. Such obligations may include lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security and law enforcement requirements. When we disclose your personal data to comply with a legal obligation or legal process, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that we disclose only the minimum personal data necessary for the specific purpose and circumstances to comply with legal obligations or valid legal processes such as search warrants, subpoenas, or court orders. When we do, transfer your personal data we use a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts and standard contractual clauses / model clauses, so that your rights and protections travel with your data.
We also participate in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. We no longer rely on Privacy Shield as a mechanism for transfers of personal data, following the Schrems II decision of the European Court of Justice on July 16, 2020. However, we continue to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles with respect to all personal information previously transferred from the European Union, the United Kingdom, and/or Switzerland to the United States in reliance on Privacy Shield. Information on our participation in Privacy Shield can be viewed in the Privacy Shield List at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000XchHAAS&status=Active.
TPCi is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in regard to personal information transferred under Privacy Shield. TPCi is also responsible for personal information transferred under Privacy Shield that TPCi then transfers to third party agents. TPCi remains liable for processing by such third parties that is not consistent with Privacy Shield (absent proof of causation by events not attributable to TPCi).
European Union, United Kingdom, or Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our adherence to Privacy Shield Principles should first contact us at [email protected], or by certified mail (return receipt requested) at The Pokémon Company International, Inc., Attention Privacy Notice Administrator, 10400 NE 4th Street, Suite 2800, Bellevue, WA 98004 USA. For any complaints that cannot be resolved with us directly, you may refer the matter to the BBB EU PRIVACY SHIELD, operated by BBB National Programs, Inc. Visit http://www.bbb.org/EU-privacy-shield/for-eu-consumers for more information and to file a complaint with the BBB EU Privacy Shield. This service is provided free of charge to you. If your complaint remains unresolved after contacting Pokémon, and the BBB EU Privacy Shield, you also have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
If your Privacy Shield complaint cannot be resolved through the above channels, under certain conditions, a binding arbitration option may be available to you.

This section provides you with additional disclosures required under California law.
If you are a California consumer whose personal information is collected through the Services (“customer”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides you with certain rights including those described in Section 9 together with the rights and disclosures set forth below. You have a right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
Pokémon does not sell your personal information as defined by the CCPA and has not done so in the past 12 months.
If you have authorized an agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete, Pokémon may require that you (i) provide written permission for a named agent to do so; (ii) verify your identity directly with Pokémon; or (iii) provide the authorized agent with a valid power of attorney. Pokémon may deny a request made on your behalf if the agent does not submit proof authorizing such request.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding disclosure of personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not share our customers' personal information with unaffiliated third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent. For inquiries about our disclosure policy, please contact us at the email address or postal address listed above.
If you are a California resident under the age of 18, and a registered user of any Service where this privacy notice is posted, you may request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. To make such a request, please send an email with a detailed description of the specific content or information to [email protected]. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted, and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.
13. How will you know if we amend this Privacy Notice?
We may amend this Privacy Notice at any time by changing the last updated date. If we make material changes to how we collect, use, or share your personal information, we will describe the changes, and, if required by law, seek your consent for such changes.
Supplemental Kids' Privacy Notice
OUR ADDITIONAL PRIVACY COMMITMENT TO KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS
Pokémon has developed its Services with the goal of creating an enjoyable experience for all users. Building on our general Privacy Notice, we recognize the need to provide additional privacy protections when kids visit the Services on which this Kids' Privacy Notice is posted. This Kids' Privacy Notice is designed to answer your questions regarding our privacy policies and principles with respect to kids. As used in this Notice, “children”, “child”, and “kid(s)” refer to children under the age of 13, except for those jurisdictions where the privacy law specifies a different age. Also, when we use the term “parent”, we include legal guardians.
1. What types of information do we collect about kids?
Our guests can use some of our Services, view content, and enjoy many features without registering for an account or our collection of any personal information subject to COPPA.
If a user has indicated that they are a kid when trying to create a Pokémon account, we will collect a parent's email address and obtain verifiable parental consent before allowing the kid to provide any additional personal information. See below to learn how we seek parental consent.
Once we obtain parental consent, a kid can use our services much like any other user. And we may collect from the kid the same types of personal information, and use and share that information for the same purposes, as described in the general Privacy Notice with the exception that Pokémon does not, nor does it allow third parties to, collect kids' personal data (including persistent identifiers) for behavioral advertising, amassing a profile, or any purpose other than to support its internal operations unless we have obtained explicit prior parental consent.
We receive information from our guests directly and from third parties such as Play! Pokémon Tournament Organizers. We collect personal information from parents on behalf of their kids to create an account for Pokémon's Services.
Pokémon does not condition participation in any of its Services for kids on the collection of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.
2. How do we use and share the personal information that we collect from kids?
As noted above, once we obtain parental consent, a kid can use our Services much like any other user. And we may collect from the kid the same types of personal information, and use and share that information for the same purposes, as described in the general Privacy Notice, unless otherwise specified in this Supplemental Kids' Privacy Notice. For example, once a parent has provided consent to create an account, a kid can:
Link an account from one of Pokémon's Services with an account from another Service operated by Pokémon or an affiliate of Pokémon
Participate in games, reward programs, contests, sweepstakes, events, or promotions
Send us questions or correspond with us via email or our customer support portal concerning the Services or the kid's participation in organized events
Participate in polls, surveys, or questionnaires
Use our Email-a-Friend feature and participate in “canned chat,” where a kid can select words from a list prepared by Pokémon to send messages to other website users
Enable push notifications (you can turn push notification on or off by modifying the settings within the applicable Service, or within your device's settings)
Note that some Services may enable a kid to publicly disclose personal information and/or communicate with other users. We do not have control over third parties (e.g., other users) who may have copied or reposted publicly posted information.
Until we receive verifiable parental consent, the parent's contact information gathered from a kid is used only to obtain the parent's consent for our information collection practices.
With parental consent, we may also use a kid's contact information to send the kid emails and messages with promotional information about new products and features, special offers, contests, and sweepstakes, as well as other interesting information concerning new products, events, and updates about Pokémon. Parents can always choose whether their kid may receive these promotional messages by visiting their account profile settings or contacting us.
If a kid wins a prize from a sweepstakes, contest, or other promotional event, we will notify the parent at the parent's email address and request that the parent provide their postal address for the purpose of delivering the prize. With the appropriate consent, we may publish a winner's first name, city, state of residence, and country/region.
Pokémon shares kids' personal information with the same entities and for the same purposes described in the general Privacy Notice.
Also, if a parent chooses to allow a kid to participate in the Play! Pokémon tournament ratings and rankings portion of our websites, we will use personal information about the kid to track the kid's tournament results, player ranking, rating, player status (e.g., active, terminated, winner, etc.). A parent can choose to post a kid's screen name, full name, or first name and last initial in the player rankings. We will also share the kid's personal information with independent third parties (such as League Leaders and Tournament Organizers) so they can run offline Play! Pokémon events that the kid may participate in. If a parent doesn't want their kid's personal information shared with independent third parties who run Play! Pokémon events, then they should not allow their kid to participate in the Play! Pokémon tournament ratings and rankings portion of our websites.
3. How do we notify and obtain consent from parents for the collection of personal information from their kids?
When a kid seeks to register with our Services, we will email their parent. This email notifies the parent that their kid wishes to register, and it asks the parent to create an account to grant consent for their kid to register. If the parent ignores or refuses to register their kid, we will delete the kid and parent's contact information within 14 days of such notice. If the parent permits the registration, we will grant the kid access to the features described in the email and this Privacy Notice.
To help verify that the parent is the person providing consent, Pokémon (in the US in conjunction with Veratad, a leading age and identity verification company) asks for the sum of the first and last digit of the parent's Social Security number, as well as other pieces of information to verify the parent's identity, such as name, birth date, and physical address. Note that Pokémon does NOT store this information anywhere in our records.
Parents can revoke consent at any time by contacting our customer service department and submitting a request on the https://support.pokemon.com/hc/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000012406 website or emailing [email protected].
4. How can parents access, change, or delete personal information about their kids?
At any time, a parent can log into their Pokémon Trainer Club account to access their “Edit Profile” section or contact our customer service department to access or change the personal information in their kid's account.
A parent may delete the personal information that we have collected from their kid by submitting a request on the https://support.pokemon.com/hc/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000012406 website or emailing [email protected]. The parent should include their kid's username and the parent's email address in the email so that we can better assist with the inquiry or request.
5. How will we notify parents if our Kids' Privacy Notice changes?
We may amend our Kids' Privacy Notice at any time; when we do so, we will change the last updated date. We will notify parents of any material changes in the way we intend to process kids' personal information. We will apply material changes to our Kids' Privacy Notice only when the changes are in compliance with applicable law, including any parental consent requirements.
