6. Data Security & Storage Safeguards

We employ robust industry-standard technical measures to secure our systems, including 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit, prepared parameterized SQL queries to eliminate injection vulnerabilities, strict file execution controls, and regular vulnerability scanning.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Pokémon Calculator Hub is designed as a general-audience calculation utility and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian believes their child has submitted personal details through our contact form, please notify us immediately and we will promptly remove the records from our database.
