Privacy Policy
Updated November 4, 2026
This page explains what information GhostDex handles when you use our apps, website and Discord server.
Your location
Locations you set are generated on your own device. We don’t keep a history of where you go or the routes you use.
The one exception is when you use a coordinate feature such as a nearby scan: the area you are searching is sent to our server and to our coordinate data provider to get results. It isn’t saved to your account or kept as a location history. It may appear briefly in standard server logs.
What we collect
- Account: your Discord ID, username, display name and avatar when you log in with Discord, plus your VIP status.
- Devices: the name of each device you log in on, and when it was last used.
- App usage: connection and authentication results, the name and Bluetooth address of connected iPhones, app version, operating system and IP address. We use this to run the service, limit abuse and fix problems.
- Website: pages visited, how you arrived, clicks on key buttons, browser type, approximate country and IP address, linked to a random ID stored in your browser. If you log in, this may be linked to your account.
- Support and community: messages and tickets you send in our Discord server.
- Patreon: if you link Patreon, your Patreon name, email and membership status. Payments are handled by the payment platform, and we never see your card details.
- Notifications: if you turn on browser notifications, the subscription your browser gives us.
What we don’t collect
- Your location history.
- Files, photos or other data stored on your iPhone.
- Your Discord messages in other servers through Discord login: it only shares your basic profile with us.
Cookies and browser storage
We use a cookie to keep you logged in to your account page, and browser storage to remember settings such as language and theme, and for the random ID above. Cloudflare may process requests to protect and speed up the site.
Who we share data with
We don’t sell your personal information. We use service providers to run GhostDex, including Discord (login and community), Cloudflare (network and security), our hosting provider, Patreon (if you link it) and our coordinate data provider (for the searches described above).
How long we keep it
- Connection logs and usage events: up to 180 days.
- Discord server messages we store: up to 90 days.
- Website login sessions: up to 30 days.
- Account information: until you ask us to delete it, or as long as we need it for legal or security reasons.
Your choices
You can log devices out on your account page and turn off browser notifications at any time. To ask for a copy of your data or to have it corrected or deleted, contact us on Discord. Depending on where you live, you may have other rights under local privacy law.
Children
GhostDex isn’t intended for children under 13, or under the minimum age required in your country to use Discord.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy and will change the date at the top of this page when we do.
