How Collectrio handles data

Last updated September 8, 2026. This is a fan-made ranking tool, not a law firm letter.

Who we are

Collectrio is an unofficial ranking site for GO collections and trading-card collections. It is not affiliated with The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK, or Niantic. The public site is intended to live at collectrio.com.

No accounts

Collectrio does not create user accounts, and it does not ask for your name, email, or phone number to rank a trio. If that changes, this page will change first.

Rankings you submit

When you submit a trio, Collectrio stores that ranking in two places when it can:

• On your device, in browser localStorage, so this browser remembers that you already contributed and can unlock the full board.
• On the server, so the public board can move for everyone, not just this browser. Local development writes JSON under the project data/ folder. Production uses Postgres when DATABASE_URL (or POSTGRES_URL) is set — typically Neon on Vercel. Until that store is connected, a ranking may stay on your device only. GET /api/health reports database: true once a URL is set; it never returns the URL.

A ranking is the three IDs you picked, the format lens, the product (Cards or GO), and a timestamp. It is not tied to a login.

Cookies and local storage

Collectrio uses localStorage for your own rankings. Ads are not live yet on Collectrio. When Google AdSense is enabled, advertising cookies may be used as described below.

Advertising

When Google AdSense is enabled on Collectrio, the following applies:

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also opt out of personalized advertising via partner-sites tools where available.

Analytics and ads

Production uses Vercel Web Analytics for page views and visitors. It does not use a Google Analytics tag. Ads are not installed until NEXT_PUBLIC_ADSENSE_CLIENT and an ad slot are set. The intended later monetization is Google AdSense. When those values are present, Collectrio loads the AdSense script and writes /ads.txt from NEXT_PUBLIC_ADSENSE_PUBLISHER or ADSENSE_PUBLISHER. When AdSense is enabled, cookies may be used as described in Advertising above. We do not sell ranking data.

Children

Collectrio is a collection-value tool. It is not directed at children under 13, and it does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
