Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

BAD Card Vault is an unofficial collector checklist website for tracking Michael Jackson BAD World Tour trading cards and variants.

This website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Michael Jackson, the Michael Jackson Estate, Keepsake, eBay, or any card manufacturer.

For privacy questions, data requests, or takedown requests, contact: info@swdigital.co.uk

2. What information we collect

BAD Card Vault is currently designed to work without user accounts. The main collection/checklist data you create is stored locally in your own browser.

3. How we use information

We use information for the following purposes:

• to provide the checklist, collection, wishlist, image, and settings features;
• to keep the website working correctly and securely;
• to investigate bugs, errors, abuse, or suspicious activity;
• to respond to emails, support requests, or takedown requests;
• to improve the accuracy and usefulness of the checklist.

4. Local browser storage

BAD Card Vault may use your browser's local storage to remember your collection, wishlist, and website preferences. This information is stored on your own device/browser.

You can clear this data from the website settings page if an export/import or reset option is available, or by clearing your browser data for this website.

If you use a different browser or device, your locally stored collection data will not automatically transfer unless you export and import it manually.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

At the moment, BAD Card Vault does not intentionally use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or tracking pixels.

The website may use local storage or essential technical storage where needed to provide features you request, such as saving your collection or preferences.

If analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, or other non-essential cookies are added in the future, this policy will be updated and a consent option will be provided where required.

6. Card images and uploads

If you upload images, you are responsible for making sure you have the right to use them.

Please do not upload images copied from third-party websites, sellers, marketplaces, social media, or search engines unless you have permission or another lawful basis to use them.

If you believe an image or other content on BAD Card Vault belongs to you or infringes your rights, contact us at info@swdigital.co.uk and include enough information for us to identify and review it.

7. Sharing information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the website, such as hosting, server management, email, security, backup, or error logging providers.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the website, or to respond to valid legal requests.

8. How long we keep information

Local collection data remains in your browser until you delete it, clear your browser storage, or reset the website data.

Server logs are kept only for as long as reasonably needed for security, troubleshooting, and website operation.

Emails and support requests may be kept for as long as needed to handle the request and maintain a record of what was discussed.

Uploaded images may be kept while they are needed for the website, unless they are removed by an admin, deleted as part of a feature, or removed after a valid request.

9. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under UK data protection law, including the right to:

• ask what personal information is held about you;
• ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
• ask for information to be deleted;
• object to or restrict certain uses of your information;
• complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

Because most collection data is stored locally in your own browser, we may not be able to access or recover it from the server.

10. Children

BAD Card Vault is intended as a general collector checklist website. It is not specifically aimed at children and does not knowingly collect children's personal information.

11. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website changes, especially if accounts, cloud sync, analytics, paid features, affiliate links, or public user uploads are added.

The latest version will be shown on this page with the updated date above.
