TCG Explorer · last updated 14 September 2026
TCG Explorer does not collect, store or transmit any personal information.
There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no crash reporting. The app has no server of its own, so there is nowhere for your data to be sent.
Everything the app keeps is stored on your own device and never leaves it:
None of this is transmitted anywhere. You can delete any of it at any time from the app's Storage screen, and all of it by uninstalling the app.
TCG Explorer has no backend. To show you cards, it requests them directly from each game's public card database, and requests card images from those databases' image servers.
These are independent third parties. Like any website you visit, they necessarily receive your
IP address, the request itself (for example, which set you opened) and the app's
user agent string, which is TCGExplorer/1.0. They do not receive your name, your
device's identifiers, or anything else about you, because the app does not have or send any of it.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy, which governs what it does with the requests it receives. TCG Explorer is not affiliated with any of them.
Some screens offer links to Cardmarket, TCGplayer, a card source's own website, or the project's Discord. These open in your browser and only when you tap them. Once you follow one, that site's own privacy policy applies.
The app is suitable for all ages. It collects no information from anyone, including children, and contains no advertising, no social features and no user-generated content.
Because no personal data is collected, there is nothing for us to look up, export, correct or delete on your behalf, and no data is ever sold or shared. The data on your device is entirely under your control: the Storage screen removes any part of it, and uninstalling the app removes all of it.
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it, and the previous versions remain in the project's public source history.
