Pod Records

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4/06/2026

Pod Records ("the app", "we", "us") is an unofficial fan-made tool for tracking Magic: The Gathering Commander games. This policy explains what information the app handles, how it is stored, and how you can remove it. By using the app you agree to this policy.

Who we are

Pod Records is operated by Ben Browne. You can reach us at ben.mct.dev@gmail.com.

Information we collect

The app collects only what is needed to run:

The app does not collect your location, contacts, photos, or device identifiers, and it does not track you across other apps or websites.

How your information is stored

Your data is stored using Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore), a service provided by Google. Data is held in Google's cloud infrastructure and is protected by access rules so that your personal games and settings are readable only by you. Google's handling of this data is governed by Google's own privacy policy.

Shared pods

The app lets you create or join a "pod" to share game records with other players. Any game data recorded in a pod is visible to the other members of that pod. This sharing is a deliberate feature: when you join or create a pod, you are choosing to share that pod's records with its members. Your private (non-pod) games remain visible only to you.

Reference data from Scryfall and EDHREC

To provide commander names, colour identities, and popularity figures, the app uses publicly available data from Scryfall and EDHREC. This reference data is fetched on a schedule by our server and cached; it is the same for all users. No personal information about you is sent to Scryfall or EDHREC.

How we use your information

We use your information solely to operate the app: to authenticate you, to store and display your game records and statistics, and to enable pod sharing. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising profiling.

Data retention and deletion

Your data is kept for as long as your account exists. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app: open Options and use "Delete my account and data". This removes your personal games, your roster and settings, your membership in pods, and pods you created, and then deletes your sign-in account. You may also contact us at ben.mct.dev@gmail.com to request deletion.

Security

Access to your data is restricted by server-side security rules tied to your account, and all data is transmitted over encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Children

The app is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, by notice within the app.
