Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2, 2026
Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is handled in the AC Pocket Field Guide. We are committed to protecting your privacy while you use our companion guide to track your collection and optimize your island life.
Data Collection
We do not collect any personal data.
The AC Pocket Field Guide does not require an account, email address, or any identifiable information to function. Your island progress is your business.
Data Storage
Any data you input into the app—such as which critters, fossils, and art you've collected, favorite villagers, or your preference for time zone and hemisphere—is stored locally on your device only. We use browser technologies like localStorage to ensure your progress is saved between sessions without ever sending it to a server.
Data Deletion
Because your data stays on your device, you have total control over it. You can delete all your progress at any time by clearing your browser's cache or data for this website. Once cleared, this data cannot be recovered by us, as we never held a copy.
Third-Party Services
We may use basic analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns, but this data is anonymized and does not include personal identifiers. We do not sell your data to third parties, because we don't have any data to sell.
Children's Privacy
The AC Pocket Field Guide is safe for users of all ages. Since we do not collect personal information, we are fully compliant with children's online privacy protection standards.
