Privacy policy

Last updated: 25 September 2026

Who we are

Collabel is an app by Forgebase. Questions about privacy? Email [email protected].

Your collection stays on your phone

The cards you add or import, your links, print status and settings are only stored on your own device. We do not receive them. If Android backup is on, Android may keep this data encrypted in your own Google account so it comes back on a new phone. A backup file or PDF/Excel you save yourself goes to the location you choose.

Bluetooth and printers

The app only uses Bluetooth to find label printers nearby and print to them. On Android 11 and older, Android also asks for location permission for this; Collabel does not use or store your location. Printer information (such as model, battery and label roll) stays on your phone.

Card photos (TCGdex)

To show card photos, the app looks up the card name, set and card number at TCGdex, a free card database. As with any internet connection, that service sees your IP address. No other information is sent. If TCGdex has no photo, the app asks our own server (collabel.app), which looks the card up at PokéWallet. Again only the card name, set, number and card language are sent. Our server does not store IP addresses; to prevent abuse it counts photo requests per hour using a code that cannot be traced back to you and is deleted after a few hours. You can turn card photos off in Settings.

Collabel Pro and payments

Payments are handled by Google Play. We never see your payment details. To keep track of your Pro status and restore it on a new phone, the app uses RevenueCat, which receives a random app ID and your Collabel purchase history (for example which plan and until when). Google's privacy policy applies to the payment itself.

QR codes on your labels

A QR code contains a search link (to Google search results for the card) or a link you entered yourself. Whoever scans it opens that link on their own phone; Collabel is not involved.

What we don't do

• No account or email address needed
• No ads
• No analytics or tracking
• We don't sell or share data

Children

Collabel is not made specifically for children. Because the app collects no personal data, younger collectors can use it safely; a Pro purchase requires a Google account with a payment method.

Your rights

Because your data is on your own phone, you are fully in control: delete cards in the app, or remove everything by uninstalling the app. For questions about your data at RevenueCat or Google, email us and we will gladly help. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

This website

The website uses no cookies, no ads and no analytics. If you vote on the wish list or send an idea, we store your vote or the text of your idea. To prevent double votes we also store a code that cannot be traced back to you, made from your IP address with a secret key; we do not store your IP address itself. The website runs on Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP addresses for security.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will post the new version on this page with a new date.
